Alpha Climatic Installation & User Instructions
Part No 3.022144 (hard wired) - 3.022143 (RF)
1. Description
The Alpha Climatic Programmable Modulating Boiler Energy Manager is a multi-
channel time and temperature programmer with integrated thermostat and “BUS”
system to transfer data between the boiler and controller, enabling full remote
control of the boiler functions and display of information. With enhanced boiler
control, the unit further increases boiler and system efficiency.
Within the governments Standard Assessment Process (SAP) the Alpha Climatic
controls are classed as an “Enhanced Load Compensator” capable of measuring
and maintaining the temperature inside the building by modulating and limiting the
boiler flow temperature depending on the measured room temperature.

a. In this mode the control is switched off but the boiler frost protection is
still active.
b. In this mode the control is switched off but provides frost protection for
its immediate location.
c. This mode provides hot water only (summer setting).
d. This mode provides hot water and timed and temperature controlled
heating (winter setting).
e. This mode is used in conjunction with an air conditioning unit to provide
summer cooling control.
b. Central Heating Temperature setting (8)
The central heating temperature setting adjusts the primary heating water
temperature to the user’s requirement. In winter mode, when the dial is turned the
temperature setting is displayed on the screen.

17
The primary flow temperature might not reach the temperature set by the user when
in operation because the programmer will control the boiler output to give optimum
performance to reach the required room temperature setting.
