2. GENERAL FEATURES
The GH10PD Controller is a microprocessor-based device manufactured using the Surface Mount
Technology (SMT).
It is designed to control the main Central Heating (CH) water circuit. Control parameters can be
adjusted to the current operating conditions and boiler type. The Controller includes a system protecting it
from power outages and various other disturbances.
The GH10PD Controller is fitted with:
•Inputs analog:
1. for boiler output water temperature measurement (NTC sensor),
•a digital input:
2. for check position of grates (Reed Relay),
3. for Room thermostat
It also contains five outputs allowing direct connection of 230 V AC devices, i.e.: the fan, the burner feeder,
the grate, the CH circulation pump and the ignition heater.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO DISCONNECT THE
CONTROLLER FROM THE MAIN DURING STORMS

4. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND CONNECTION RULES
Boiler room should be equipped with 230V/ 0Hz electrical system according to applicable regulations.
Electrical system (regardless of its type) should end with a plug-in socket equipped with protective contact.
Using a socket without connected protective contact may result in electric shock !!!
The controller needs to be connected to a separate power supply line protected with a properly selected
quick fuse and differential current switch (anti-electric shock). It is forbidden to connect any other
equipment to this line !!!
THE CONTROLLER IS POWERED FROM 230V/50HZ MAINS
ANY REPAIRS MAY BE CARRIED OUT ONLY WITH POWER SUPPLY
CUT OFF AT THE FUSE
5. QUICK START
Carry out the following operations in order to activate the GH10PD controller quickly:
1. Connect the unit to the mains (plug in power supply cable).

6.2. Automatic operation mode
By pressing , you can enable the automatic operation mode – the Controller lights up the upper
indicator on ( ).
6.2.1. Firing up
The condition for FIRING UP mode is U3=0 and:
1. Exiting room panel lock and returning to automatic mode
2. Exiting sustain mode and returning the controller to automatic mode
This mode of operation is indicated by the blinking of the upper indicator on ( ). Firing up
consists in controlling the burner feeder, the fan and the ignition heater so as to switch to the Automatic
Operation Mode (if F34=0, then the ignition heater cycle is skipped – Controller without ignition heater
support) without the need to enable it manually.

The fan operates continuously providing the output indicated in the F36 service setting and the
Controller additionally indicates whether it activates the feeder, the fan or the heater.
The heater activation and operation are indicated by means of a horizontal line on the left side of
the display, in the lower sign segment, on the Controller main display screen (⇒ section 1.3 page 4). During
the firing up operation the grate is all time off.

6.2.2. Burner feeder
The burner feeder operates according to the values set in the user settings U1 – “Feeder work time”
and U2 – “Feeder stop time”. Activation and operation of the burner feeder is indicated by the lower
indicator on .
6.2.3. Grate
The burner feeder operates according to the values set in the user settings U5 – “The number of rate
rotation in heatin mode and in sustain mode” .
a) In sustain mode when U3>0 :
In SUSTAIN mode, the fuel feeder operates according to the value set by the user in parameter U . The
grate activation and operation are indicated by means of a horizontally line on the left side of the display,
in the lower sign segment, on the Controller main display screen (⇒ section 1.3 page 4).

In the firing up mode of operation the grate is off. It stats working when firing up process is finish.
The Grate start its work from the U parameter - “The number of rate rotation in heatin mode and in
sustain mode” .
The Grate start its work o ly whe the bur er feeder stops, a d worki g accordi g to the values set i
the user setti gs U5 – “The umber of grate rotatio i heati g mode a d i sustai mode” .
b) In sustain mode when U3=0:
The fuel grate does not operate in sustain mode
6.2.4. CH pump
In the AUTO mode, the CH pump is activated when the temperature of the boiler water is higher or
equal to the value set in the F06 service setting (factory setting is 40°C).
The CH pump activation and operation are indicated by means of a vertical line on the left side of
the display, in the upper sign segment, on the Controller main display screen (⇒ section 1.3 page 4).
The Controller deactivates the pump when the water temperature drops to the activation
temperature - 4°C. (If the CH pump activation temperature is 40°C, then the CH pump deactivation
temperature is 36°C).
6.2. . Fan
In the AUTO mode, the fan operates continuously until the boiler temperature reaches the value set by
the user in the U0 setting. During that period the fan operates at the speed set in the U4 setting. Fan
activation and operation are indicated by the upper indicator on .
6.2.6. Maintain operation mode
The Controller switches into this mode when the boiler temperature reaches the value set by the
user in the U0 setting.
This mode of boiler operation is indicated by the lower indicator on ( ).
If U3>0
The fuel feeder and the fan remain inactive in this mode for the period set by the user in the U3
settings.When the period ends, the Controller activates the feeder and fan for the period set by the
manufacturer in the F20 service setting.
The fan operates for a period appropriately longer than the feeder for the time set in the F1 service
setting in order to fire up the added fuel.
The Controller exits the MAINTAIN mode and return to the AUTO mode if the boiler temperature drops to
the value equal to: U0 - F05.
The CH pump operates in the same manner as in the AUTO mode.
If U3=0
The fan, feeder and heater remain off until SUSTAIN mode is exited and automatic mode in initiated.

6.3. Manual operation mode
Pressing causes the Controller to switch from automatic to manual mode, and immediately
deactivates the fan, the feeder and the pump.
In this mode, you can manually and independently activate and deactivate the fuel feeder , grate, pump
CH and the fan. To do this, follow the scheme below:
To activate or inactivate the CH pump, press the following keys simultaneously: + . The CH
pump activation and operation are indicated by means of a vertical line on the left side of the display, in the
upper sign segment, on the Controller main display screen (⇒ section 1.3 page 4). The grate is inactivate after
inputs reed relay change from open to close. To activate or inactivate the grate, press the following keys
simultaneously: + . The grate activation and operation are indicated by means of a horizontal line on
the left side of the display, in the lower sign segment, on the Controller main display screen (⇒ section 1.3
page 4).
6.4. Viewing flame temperatures
After pressing , the display shows water temperature at the boiler outlet. Flame sensor
measurement is available in the AUTO and MAINTAIN modes, but only if the flame sensor are properly
enabled. Press to view the flame sensor measurement. Press the key again to exit the view. You can
also wait for automatic exit 10s from pressing the key.
6.5. Alarms
The Controller uses different alarms. In each alarm condition, the Controller displays the alarm number
and activates the alarm sound output. In case of several alarm conditions occurring simultaneously, their
numbers are displayed in sequence. You can exit an alarm condition only by pressing , except the AL12
alarm. Alarms:
• AL1 → STB activated or fuse blown
• AL2 → Boiler water outlet temperature sensor failure
• AL9 → No grate rotation / reed relay failure
• AL12 → Boiler overheating
• AL13 → Boiler burnout
