1. Description of controller
The GH22PB controller is assembled using microprocessor techniques utilizing automatic
surface mounting.
This controller is a device used to control the process of preparing domestic hot water (the
HW circuit), and provides support for the main circuit (circuit CH). Parameters can be adapted
according to the condition and the type of boiler.
The controller is equipped with a system to guard against power failure and various types of
interference. The controller identifies each emergency and gives a visual and audio warning.
The controller automatically supports three installation configurations, which meet the
requirements of the installer fully. The device supports four temperature sensor inputs (one
PT1000 sensor), optical input for flame sensor (option), standard thermostat , additional output
for room panel GA03HA GECO , and five outputs for external devices.

CONNECT DEVICES TO THE GH22PB CONTROLLER.
5. Controller modes
The controller can be operated in five modes:
•Standby – returns the controller to the state before loss of power. The controller algorithm is
not implemented, the clock operates in real time, and the chosen installation settings are
stored.
•Automatic - There are two sub-modes, heating and sustaining
Firing up - this is the first step of automatic mode, precede heating mode.
Heating – in this mode, the algorithm is implemented in the control mode selected depending
on the type of fuel and heating installations requirements.
Sustaining - the controller enters this mode if the boiler temperature reaches the set point. In
this mode, an individually prepared algorithm is implemented.
Sustain Room - the controller enters this mode if the boiler temperature is block by room
thermostat or room panel GA03HA.
•Manual – This mode is used only to validate the on / off (tests) for each installation of
technological equipment, so when you are sure that tests are finished, go to the automatic
mode.
•Alarm – Characterised by the occurrence of an alarm that prevents further operation of the
equipment or the occurrence of a warning, which allows the user to accept temporary
operation under warning conditions accepted by the user with the awareness that it is
temporary in nature. When the fault is resolved, the driver returns to the mode it was in
before.

5.1. Standby mode
After the installation procedure described in the previous chapter, the GH22PB driver is
turned on standby. In this mode, the screen displays a message about how to select automatic or
manual mode.
When the controller is in standby mode, you can switch to manual mode using the button
. uring normal operation, it is possible to return the controller to standby mode at any time,
by pressing the button .
In standby mode, all outputs and the alarm sound signal are disabled. When the controller is
switched to automatic mode, the display shows the actual temperature of the water in the boiler,
the set temperature, and information about the controller mode.
5.2. Automatic mode – Firing up
The first step in automatic mode is firing up. Firing up controls the fuel feeder, fan and heater in
such a way that the device goes straight into automatic mode (if the parameter S34=0, the igniter
switch cycle is ignored – the controller does not support heater ignition)
Commencement and completion of firing up is dependent on the sensitivity of the flame, and the
retort is read by an optical flame sensor.
After three failed attempts to ignite the boiler flame, alarm number 14 – flame extinguished –
is activated. The controller operating in automatic mode will signal ‘firing up’ with text information
in the top part of the screen – ‘Firing up’. The firing up mode is active only in standard regulation.
5.3. Automatic mode - Heating
In automatic mode, the controller implements the control algorithm for the chosen heating
schema, according to the heating regulation option chosen. Basic information about the system,
displayed on the main screen, includes current and set boiler temperature, and operating mode.
The user may choose from three heating regulation options: Standard, grid mode and pump only.

User Instructions for GECO GH22PB controller
______________________________________________________________________________
Page 8 Edition I November 2014
In automatic heating mode, the controller displays text information in the top part of the screen:
HEATING – when the standard regulation option is set
GRID MODE H– when the grid mode option is set
PUMP ONLY – when the pump only mode is set
A detailed description of non-standard heating regulation options can be found in section 7.
5.4. Automatic mode - sustain
The controller enters this mode if the temperature in the boiler reaches that set by the user in
the parameters menu. The fuel feeder and fan are disabled, for the time set by the user in the
‘sustain time’ parameter.
The controller will exit sustain mode and return to automatic mode, if the temperature of
the boiler falls below the value set in installation parameter ‘boiler temperature hysteresis’, which
can be edited by the user. The central heating pump works in the same way as in automatic mode.
When working in automatic mode sustain, text information is shown in the top part of the
screen:
MAINTAIN – when the standard option is set
SUSTAIN ROOM – when controller is block by thermostat or room panel GA03HA
GRID MODE M– when grid mode is set
In the PUMP ONLY mode maintain mode not exist.
A detailed description of non-standard heating regulation options can be found in section 7.
5.5. Manual mode
In manual mode, the controller does not implement the control algorithm, and the number and
type of technological devices connected is dependent on the user, who takes responsibility for the
correct operation of the equipment. On the main screen, the actual and set boiler temperature is
always displayed. The choice of heating regulation option does not affect the operation of the
system in manual mode. In this case, the user has full control over what equipment will be
operated by the controller.

User Instructions for GECO GH22PB controller
______________________________________________________________________________
Page 9 Edition I November 2014
After entering the manual mode, operation of all equipment will be stopped automatically. The
controller working in automatic mode displays text information at the top of the screen –
‘MANUAL MO E’.
5.6. Alarm/warning mode
Alarm - The controller goes into alarm mode when one of the required sensors fails or is
disconnected, or when the cable is broken. The controller will signal that the sensor in
question is required. When the fault is repaired, the controller returns to the mode it was in
before. The controller will not enter alarm mode when the sensor fault has been repaired. Any
changes to components should be done with the controller turned off.
Warnings - The controller switches to warning mode when the DHW/returning sensor fails
or is disconnected, or when the cable is broken. The controller then gives information about
the warning, and the types of operations conditionally possible without the sensor. The user
must always accept operations that are conditional on the lack of sensor, each time the
controller is restarted. This applies only to those sensors which do not affect the safe
operation of the heating system. After repairing the sensor problem or removing the cause of
the interference, the controller returns to the mode in which it was previously operating. Any
changes to components should be made with the controller turned off.
The other functions of the warning mode are to give information when the hot water tank has
not been disinfected, or the temperature in the feeder has not been raised. The controller exits
the warnings mode when one of the warnings is UW10 or UW17.
All service like changing sensor or device, should be perform when the controller is switch off.
When the user accept controller emergency work conditionally possible without the sensor, the
controller inform user about problem to resolve by show exclamation mark in the bottom
center of the display. The mark disappear when sensor is fix.
