7.8.2 Cold start thermal shock protection – multistage operation
The difference between multistage and modulating control is that with multistage
control, the output steps are defined by the number of burner stages. With modulating
control, any output value in % can be entered.
With multistage control, a maximum of 3 output stages are available:
1. Stage 1
2. Stage 1 and stage 2
3. Stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3
Use of the output stages 2 and 3 can be locked. In that case, the boiler is heated with
stage 1 only.
Parameter
Release Stages (release / no release)
When stages 2 and 3 are locked, the system may maintain low-fire operation until the
cold start function is ended, if the output delivered by stage 1 is not sufficient to reach
the switch-off threshold for thermal shock protection.
