Principle of operation

Work mode

Depending on the mode, the controller goes 

through series of states, so it reaches the final state 
for the mode. Changing the mode, makes the 
controller enter sequence of states, guaranteeing the 
correct power up or shutdown.

The boiler pump is always active, as long as the 

conditions for its operation are met, independent of 
the current mode. Exception of this rule is the case of
working DHW pump and temperature of the room 
being reached, then the boiler pump is turned off.

ON / AUTO

Final state: 

Burn

When Burn state is reached, the process is 

controlled so that the heat needed by the system is 
generated.

The difference between automatic AUTO and 

manual ON mode is the way of determining the 
temperature set point. In automatic mode, the week 
timer or the external thermostat is used, as in 
manual, the user manually sets the desired 
temperature, ignoring the week timer or external 
thermostat.

OFF

Final state: 

Idle

When the mode is set to OFF the device will safely 

discontinue burning and will reach the Idle state. The
system will not automatically turn itself from OFF to 
ON mode.

States

The state sequence is as follows:

 0 Idle
 1 Clean
 2 Ignition
 3 Kindle
 4 Burn

 4.1  Purge

 5 Shutdown
 6 Clean
 7 Wait

An ongoing error monitoring (sensors or state 

specific) is performed during operation in all states. 
When an error is detected, the burning is 
discontinued in the appropriate sequence.

Clean

When cleaning, the cleaner mechanism is 

activated for a fixed time. The cleaning is performed 
when the device is powered on and off.

Ignition

A preset quantity of fuel is loaded and the lighter 

is activated. The device waits until the fuel is ignited 
by monitoring the temperature of flue gases or the 
flame intensity (depending on configuration). On 
successful ignition, it passes to the next state. If the 
ignition time runs out before ignition is detected, 
then another attempt is made, restarting the ignition 
process and loading 50% less fuel. When the 
maximum number of attempts is reached, the 
controller shuts down, and registers an error.

Kindle

Waiting for the burning process to stabilize. The 

flue temperature should raise over a set threshold or 
the intensity of the flame should be stable for a time 
above a set threshold. Meanwhile fuel is being 
periodically fed (if configured). If the ignition time 
expires and no stable burning is detected, then a next
ignition attempt will be committed.

Burn

After a stable burning is detected, the controller 

goes to burning state. The power (combination of 
supplied air and fuel) is determined by the control 
algorithm according to temperature(s) set point 
and / or external thermostat. By varying the power, 
the generated heat is adjusted, satisfying the current 
needs of heating in the system.

The burning is interrupted in the following cases:

User: pressing power button 

.

Clean time out: if a periodic clean is configured, 

then a shutdown is performed followed by clean and 
ignition, completing the restart cycle.

Week timer: if there is a time set for turning off.

No need of heating: when the power has been 

at minimum for a set time or the regulated 
temperature is exceeded, then the controller shuts 
down and transitions to WAIT mode.

Loss of flame: flue gases temperature or flame 

intensity go below threshold. An error is registered.

Purge

During the burn state, periodically a purge is 

committed for a fixed time. The feeder is stopped and
the fan power is increased, thus cleaning the burn 
chamber. After the purge time expires, the controller 
goes back to Burn.
