How to use the controller

 

IV.1.

 

Principle of operation

 

The regulator controls the fan and the fuel feeder operation so that the pre-set temperature of the CH 
boiler and the water tank is reached. Additionally, it controls CH and DHW pump operation activating 
them once a pre-defined temperature of the CH boiler has been reached.

 

 

IV.2.

 

Stages of operation

 

 

Fire-up

 – this phase is initiated when the flue gas temperature reaches a pre-set value and does not 

drop below this value for 30seconds (default 

fire-up time

). 

 

Operation

 – when the fire-up phase has been completed, the controller enters operation mode and the 

display shows the message ‘PID: OPERATION’. It is the primary mode of controller functioning when the 
blow force and fuel feeding are regulated with PID algorithm, oscillating around the pre-set temperature 
defined by the user. When the temperature increases unexpectedly by more than 5

o

C above the pre-set 

value, the 

supervision mode

 is activated. 

 

Supervision mode

 – this mode is activated automatically when the temperature exceeds the pre-set 

value by more than 5

o

C in operation mode. In such a case, the controller disables PID control and uses 

manual settings (according to parameters defined in the fitter's menu).The display shows the following 
message: ‘

PID: SUPERVISION’

 

 

IV.3.

 

zPID control

 

ST-550zPID is a controller with continuous output signal, using z

PID algorithm

. This type of controller 

calculates the blow force on the basis of CH boiler temperature and the flue gas temperature measured 
at  the  CH  boiler  outlet.  The  fan  operates  continuously  and  the  blow  force  depends  on  the  CH  boiler 
temperature, the flue gas temperature as well as the difference between these parameters and their pre-
set values. One of the greatest advantages of zPID regulators is their ability to maintain a stable pre-set 
temperature without unnecessary overregulation and oscillations. 

 

Apart from zPID control, the controller  operation is adjusted on the basis of the the readings from 

the air flow sensor mounted on the fan. 

 

 

Using this type of regulator with a flue gas sensor helps to reduce fuel costs by up to several percent. 
Moreover, it ensures stable temperature of output water thus prolonging the life of the heat exchanger 
(of  the  CH  boiler).  Flue  gas  temperature  control  results  in  low  emission  of  dust  and  environmentally 
harmful  gases.  Flue  gas  heat  is  not  disposed  of  through  the  chimney,  but  it  is  utilised  for  heating 
purposes

.
