13.12 - Delays,
alarms and
protective actions

To protect the life of the appliance,
improve comfort, and maximize energy
savings, the following timings have
been incorporated into the control
logic:
a - Pump delay: each time the room

thermostat is satisfi ed, the circulator
pump continues to run for 1 minute;

b - DHW delay: each time the domestic

hot water demand is satisfi ed, a 2
minutes delay must pass before the
heating service is allowed to restart;

c - Protection against legionnaires

bacteria: if the boiler is connected
to a DHW storage tank the boiler
will increase the tank temperature
to 140 °F (60 °C) every seven days,
prevent the formation of legionnaires
bacteria. This function is displayed

by

.

d - DHW alarm: if the call for domestic

hot water lasts for longer than two

hours, an

01 alarm is generated.

This function is only for boilers set
up to provide instantaneous DHW.

13.11 - Boiler
switch settings

The control board shown in Figure
3-1, item “14”, contains a series of
switches that allow the boiler to be
confi gured to match the application.
The table below lists each switch and
its corresponding funtions.

CAUTION!!!

This freeze

protection function is
conceived to protect the boiler
only, not the heating system.

CAUTION!!!

Because the

boiler’s freeze protection
function depends from the
electrical supply and from the
gas supply, it is mandatory
install a safety device that
alarm the user in a case
the boiler room will reach a
temperature near 35°F (2°C)

Once the boiler has reached a
temperature of 45 °F (7 °C), the
heating pump will automatically
comes on. If the temperature falls
below 35 °F (2 °C), the burner
will light to prevent the boiler from
freezing.
If the boiler will not be used for long
time it should be drained per Sections
14.10 and 14.11.

13 - USE

e - Time delay in restarting the burner:

in its normal functioning state, except
when providing domestic water,
every time the burner stops, there is
a delay time of 3 minutes before the
boiler restarts again.

13.13 - Circulator
pump and three way
valve protection

During the summer months, the
circulator is run once a day for around
15 seconds to prevent it from seizing.
At the same time, the three way valve
(if present) is activated for the same
reason.

13.14 - Boiler’s
Freeze protection

CAUTION!!!

For the freeze

protection function to work, the
boiler must remain connected
to the electrical and gas
supplies with knobs “7” and
“11” in Figure 13-1, in the OFF
position.

CAUTION!!!

Improper setting

of these switches could cause the
boiler to malfunction resulting in
improper system performance.
Only a qualifi ed technician, with an
in-depth knowledge of the boilers’
control system, should change
them.
