MANUFACTURER: P.H.P.U. AS, Polanka 8a/3, 61-131 Pozna , POLAND
1. FIELD OF APPLICATION
EUROSTER 11K universal controller for water jacket fireplace central heating systems is
equippe with switche 230 VAC outputs to connect the following system elements:
electrically controlle actuator of the fireplace combustion air throttle
plate heat exchanger water circulation pump
CH (central heating) system water circulation/buffer tank pump
DWH ( omestic hot water) tank pump
an universal voltage-free contacts that may be use to turn on/off:
alternative heat source (e.g. a gas-fire boiler).
The controller may control systems built accor ing to one of the three following layouts:
CH system with a plate heat exchanger
CH system with a heat buffer
CH system with a plate heat exchanger an a DWH tank.
In all layouts the controller a justs the combustion processes by opening/closing the fireplace
throttle epen ing on the measure temperatures an information receive from the
cooperating room thermostat. An alternative heat source (e.g. a gas-fire boiler) may also be
turne on epen ing on the temperatures an the information.
The EUROSTER 11K controller features the ANTY-STOP function that prevents i le pump
rotors an valves against seizing. Once the heating season is over, every 14 ays the function
will automatically turn the pumps an the valves on for 30 secon s. To that en the controller
must be left powere up.

3. INSTALLATION
ATTENTION Hazardous voltages may be present inside the controller and
on its cables. Therefore it is expressly forbidden to install the device unless
its mains power supply is disconnected. Only qualified technicians may
install the controller. Do not install any device showing signs of any
mechanical damage.

EUROSTER 11K CONTROLLER USER MANUAL 3
Controller terminals:
ATTENTION The controller must not be installed in a place where ambient
temperature may exceed 40°C.
ATTENTION The controller is equipped with an electronic power supply
switch, which does not guarantee safe isolation of power in all
circumstances. In particular, if some sensor wires are disconnected or
short circuited during assembly works, hazardous voltages may appear on
some controller outputs. Therefore the controller power supply cord must
be unplugged before any works are started.
The procedure:
a) Mount the S1 sensor:
o not immerse the sensor into any liqui nor install it within chimney flue gas stream
install sensor at some external surface of the fireplace water jacket or on an uncovere
segment of the fireplace outlet pipe (as close to the fireplace as possible)
using a hose clip tighten the sensor to its pipe.
b) Mount the S2 sensor (if use ):
o not immerse the sensor into any liqui nor install it within chimney flue gas stream
epen ing on the selecte layout install the sensor on the heat buffer/DWH tank
using a hose clip tighten the sensor to its pipe.

EUROSTER 11K CONTROLLER USER MANUAL 4
c) Connect a itional heat source controller:
unplug a itional heat source controller from its power supply
link E11K controller box with alternative heat source controller box using at least 2 x
0.75 mm2 brai e cor
connect a cable to the AUX output COM an NC or NO terminals of the E11K controller
( epen ing on the type of the alternative heat source)
connect the cable to the alternative heat source controller.
) Connect room thermostat:
the controller may cooperate exclusively with room thermostats equippe with voltage-
free normally open (NO) output contacts
link E11K controller box with room thermostat box (or its receiver in case of a wireless
remote control) using at least 2 x 0.75 mm2 brai e cor
connect a cable to the RT terminals of the E11K controller
connect the cable to the COM an NO thermostat terminals.
e) Connect pumps/throttle actuator:
connect blue wire to the N terminal
connect brown wire to the L terminal
pumps must be hooke up to the P1-P3 controller terminals, respectively
throttle actuator must be hooke up to the throttle output N an L-open or L-close
controller terminals ( epen ing on the type of the throttle)
ATTENTION The controller may cooperate exclusively with a bi-state
throttle actuated by a 230 VAC actuator. In absence of power the
throttle should close automatically.
connect protective wires of the pumps an of the throttle with the PE power cor wire.
ATTENTION Controller is a 2nd insulation class device, so it needs no
grounding. However, every cooperating device that needs to be
grounded must be obligatorily connected to the protective wire.
f) Hook up power supply cable:
connect neutral (blue) wire to the N terminal
connect live (brown) wire to the L terminal.
g) Verify the connections:
check up all cable connections an tighten the terminal box li s.
h) Mount the controller:
carefully put the controller boar into its box, fix the box, an put the front cover on.
4. OPERATION
a) Turning the controller on/off
Press the button to turn the controller on. Firmware version number is isplaye , the
ANTY-STOP function is execute for 30 s, then the evice resumes normal operation.
Press an hol the button for 2 secon s to turn the controller off. Device screen turns blank
(only the light remains lit) an the throttle closes so that the fireplace goes out. Control
algorithms will continue to run in or er to fully utilize the pro uce heat an to provi e
fireplace safety.
The controller turns off automatically if the water jacket temperature excee s the put-out
temperature. The function is active if the On installer parameter has been set to 1. If the
parameter has been set to 0, the controller will not turn off until the temperature excee s the

EUROSTER 11K CONTROLLER USER MANUAL 5
warning (critical) temperature.
The controller also turns off automatically shoul the fireplace went out. It will happen after
the time (in minutes) set as the value of the OF installer parameter. If the parameter is set to
0, automatic controller shut own is isable .
b) Reading states of outputs and temperatures
Activation of a controller output is signale by front panel light assigne to that output, see
escription in the VISIBLE CONTROLLER ELEMENTS section above. By efault, the S1 sensor
temperature is isplaye on the controller screen. Press the button to isplay the other
sensor rea ing (if the S2 sensor is available in the system). At any time the an lights
signal which sensor temperature is currently isplaye (S1 or S2). Temperatures lower than
0°C are isplaye as LO, temperatures higher than 99°C are isplaye as Hi.
c) Throttle control
The controller opens the throttle if fireplace jacket water temperature is too low, an closes
the throttle if the temperature approaches the jacket preset temperature. The preset epen s
both on user settings an on room thermostat (RT) signal:
If the RT input is short-circuite , the temperature set as the throttle user parameter
value is maintaine
If the RT input is open, the temperature set as the tb installer parameter value is
maintaine .
d) Ignition
The ignition function consists in keeping the throttle open until the fireplace gets lighte as
signale by increase of the fireplace temperature above the put-out threshol ( efine as the
tE installer parameter value). Shoul that not happen within 1 hour, the controller will cancel
the ignition function an close the throttle. Otherwise it will resume normal operation.
Activation of the ignition function is signale by the light. The function is activate
automatically once the controller is turne on. It may also be activate manually using the
button. Press the button to eactivate the ignition function.
e) Cooperation with room thermostats/alternative heat sources
Controller may cooperate with a room thermostat an an alternative heat source (e.g. a gas-
fire boiler). To that en it is equippe with the RT input for signals from the room thermostat
an the AUX output to control the alternative heat source.
If voltage-free contacts hooke up to the RT input are close , fireplace is heate up to the
preset throttle activation temperature an the CH pump is turne on. Shoul the contacts
become open, fireplace temperature will be lowere to the preset stan by temperature, an
the CH pump will be turne off (provi e that is possible in the given system layout). Surplus
of the pro uce heat will be store in the CH tank.
ATTENTION Only room thermostats equipped with voltage-free output
contacts may be hooked up to the RT input of the controller.
To turn the alternative heat source on, the controller closes the COM an NO contacts of the
AUX output, which is signale by the light. Contacts of the AUX output are voltage-free.
The alternative heat source is turne off when:
the fire-place is hot
the RT input is open.
Provi e that power supply is present, state of the AUX controller output oes not epen on
the controller mo e of operation, inclu ing controller shut- own. Besi es, the normally close
AUX output contacts enable operation of the alternative heat source even if the E11K

EUROSTER 11K CONTROLLER USER MANUAL 6
controller/its sensor fails or in case of a power supply black out.
f) Detection of sensor failures and other dangerous situations
Following events are recognize by the controller:
Event On screen Pumps AUX output Acoustic signal
Sensor open
Deep freeze
OP on on no
Freezing LO off in line with the
control algorithm
no
Critical temperature excee e Temperature on off no
Alarm temperature excee e Temperature on off yes
Overheating Hi on off yes
Sensor short-circuite
Strong overheating
SH on on yes
Each of the above events:
cancels ignition function (if activate )
starts to blink controller screen contents.
In case of a single error of the S1/S2 sensor, the / light is lit, respectively. In case of
more than one simultaneous errors, only the highest priority error is signale . Error priorities:
S1 sensor faile (SH or OP)
S2 sensor faile (SH or OP)
S1 sensor overheate or frozen (LO or Hi)
S2 sensor overheate or frozen (LO or Hi)
S1 sensor temperature too high
S2 sensor temperature too high.
g) Alarm output (optional)
In case of an alarm all pump outputs (inclu ing outputs not use in the given system layout)
are activate . It means that each unuse pump output may be use as an alarm signal.
The P3 output is equippe with both normally open (NO) an normally close (NC) contacts.
In case of an alarm, mains voltage normally connecte to the NC contact is switche over to
the NO contact.
h) Acoustic alarm
Shoul the fireplace water jacket/CH tank temperature excee the alarm threshol , an
acoustic alarm signal is activate . Press any button to stop the signal for 5 minutes.
i) The ANTY-STOP function
The ANTY-STOP function turns the CH system pump(s) on every 14 ays for 30 s (to prevent
rotor seizing). "AS" letters are blinking on the controller isplay while the function is active.
j) DWH priority
In CH systems with DWH tanks the DWH function may be assigne a higher priority than the
CH function. If this is the case, the controller will turn the CH system off shoul heating of
DHW be nee e (to shorten time necessary to heat the DHW tank up). A mo ifie DHW
priority function implemente in E11K controllers prevents room temperature to rop own too
much while the DHW tank is heate : every now an then (preset perio ) the function is turne
off for 10 minutes so that the CH pump may be turne on for that time.
The DHW function perio may be set as the Pr installer parameter value. For example if Pr =
30, the DWH priority function will be suspen e an the CH pump turne on every 30 minutes
(for 10 minutes). The Pr = 0 value isables the DWH priority function, which means that the
CH pump will operate regar less of the DHW tank temperature.

EUROSTER 11K CONTROLLER USER MANUAL 7
k) Relay activation delay
To increase lifetime of the controller output relays, outputs are prevente against activating/
eactivating more frequently than once per secon . However, lights signaling state of the
relays go on/off without any elay.
l) Output tests
The t1, t2, t3, tP, Ta installer parameters may be use to manually turn on/off the P1, P2,
P3 pumps, throttle, an AUX outputs, respectively (to test them).
5. SETUP
a) User parameters
User parameters are system settings (temperature presets) that may be mo ifie by the user.
Use the button to sequentially isplay preset temperature threshol s at which P1/P2/P3
pump, throttle, an AUX output are activate (press the button to isplay next preset). Use
the an buttons to mo ify the isplaye value. Each mo ification must be confirme
with the button or else the controller cancels it after 10 secon s. Use the button to

EUROSTER 11K CONTROLLER USER MANUAL 8
Controller treats the fireplace as shut own an closes its throttle if the fireplace
temperature has roppe own below tE. On the other han the controller
resumes normal operation after the ignition phase as soon as the temperature
has risen above tE. If the put-out temperature is set too high, the fireplace
might be put out by the controller. If the put-out temperature is set too low, the
throttle might be opene unnecessarily.
tb Stan by temperature. Range: 40÷(60 or OH-5)°C. Stan ar value: 45°C.
Controller maintains that temperature while there is no eman for heat. The
parameter shoul be set for a minimum temperature at which fire at the
fireplace can be sustaine .
OH Critical temperature. Range: 60÷(90 or AL-1)°C. Stan ar value: 80°C. As soon
as the fireplace temperature has excee e that threshol , the controller starts
emergency cool own proce ure: throttle is close an all available pumps are
engage .
AL Alarm temperature. Range: 85÷95°C. Stan ar value: 90°C. Shoul the
fireplace temperature excee that threshol , acoustic warning signal is activate .
dF Minimum ifference between temperature of the fireplace an temperature of
the CH tank/buffer at which the tank/buffer is loa e . Range: 1÷20°C. Stan ar
value: 5°C.
On Automatic controller activation. Range: 0÷1. Stan ar value: 1.
On=0: the controller will not activate until the fireplace temperature rises above
the OH threshol .
On=1: the controller will activate as soon as the fireplace temperature excee s
the tE threshol .
OF Automatic shut- own elay. Range: 0÷30 min. Stan ar value: 5 min. The
controller will shut own automatically OF minutes after the time when the
fireplace temperature has roppe own below the tE threshol .
OF=0: the controller will never shut own automatically.
C1 S1 sensor offset. Range: -5÷5°C. Stan ar value: 0°C. That parameter may be
use to correct temperature rea ings.
C2 S2 sensor offset. Range: -5÷5°C. Stan ar value: 0°C.
SC CH system layout. Range: 1÷3. Stan ar value: 1.
SC=1: heat exchanger, 2 pumps (the simplest layout)
SC=2: heat buffer, 2 pumps
SC=3: DWH tank, heat exchanger, 3 pumps.
See etaile escription in the SYSTEM LAYOUT section below.
Pr DHW priority suspen perio . Range: 0÷90 min. Stan ar value: 0 min.
Pr=0: DHW priority isable , CH an DHW pumps operate in epen ently.
Pr=30/60/90: DWH priority function will be suspen e an the CH pump turne
on every 30/60/90 minutes for 10 minutes to prevent room temperature against
ropping own too much while the DHW tank is heate .
t1 P1 output state. Range: 0÷1.
t1 = 0: the output is inactive
t1 = 1: the output is activate

t3 P3 output state. Range: 0÷1
tP THROTTLE output state. Range: 0÷1
tA AUX output state. Range: 0÷1
c) Automatic verification of settings
The controller verifies the entere presets an automatically corrects settings which woul
prevent its correct operation. This is accomplishe two ways:
If the mo ifie setting is a key parameter on which other less important parameters
epen , the entere mo ification automatically forces respective mo ification of all
epen ent parameters. For example, if the alarm temperature is lowere , throttle
activation temperature is also automatically lowere .

EUROSTER 11K CONTROLLER USER MANUAL 9
If the mo ifie setting epen s on another more important (key) parameter, the
system will prevent any incorrect mo ification. For example, the throttle activation
temperature may not be set higher than the alarm temperature.
