ELECTRIC DEVICE UNDER VOLTAGE!
Before any action related to the power supply (cables
connection, device installation etc.) check if the regulator is not
connected to the mains!
Installation should be done by a person with appropriate
electrical qualifications. Improper cables connection could
result in the regulator damage.
The regulator cannot be used in steam condensation
conditions and cannot be exposed to water.
PRINCIPLES INDIVIDUAL FUZZY LOGIC:
The regulator must be programmed individually for the given
type of boiler and fuel!
It is inadmissible to change the type of gear-motor, fan, and
to make other changes in the boiler fittings which can
influence the burning process. The fittings should correspond
to the components installed by the manufacturer!
It is recommended to operate boiler with maximally-opened
fan flap.
Activation of the fuzzy logic mode does not eliminate the
necessity of regulating the SUPERVISION parameters.
In some cases, the fuzzy logic mode may require additional
adjustment.

1. Safety requirements
Requirements concerning safety are
described in detail in individual chapters of this
manual. Apart from them, the following
requirements should in particular be observed.
Before starting assembly, repairs or
maintenance, as well as during any
connection works, please make sure that
the mains power supply is disconnected
and that terminals and electric wires are
devoid of voltage.
After the regulator is turned off using the
keyboard, dangerous voltage still can
occur on its terminals. The regulator
cannot be misused.
The regulator is designed to be enclosed.
Additional automatics which protect the
boiler, central heating (CH) system, and
domestic hot water system against
results of malfunction of the regulator, or
of errors in its software, should be
applied.
Choose the value of the programmed
parameters accordingly to the given type
of boiler and fuel, taking into
consideration all the operational
conditions of the system. Incorrect
selection of the parameters can cause
malfunction of the boiler (e.g.
overheating of the boiler, the flame going
back to the fuel feeder, etc.),
The regulator is intended for boiler
manufacturers. Before applying the
regulator, a boiler manufacturer should
check if the regulator’s mating with the
given boiler type is proper, and whether
it can cause danger.
The regulator is not an intrinsically safe
device, which means that in the case of
malfunction it can be the source of a
spark or high temperature, which in the
presence of flammable dusts or liquids
can cause fire or explosion. Thus, the
regulator should be separated from
flammable dusts and gases, e.g. by
means of an appropriate body.
The regulator must be installed by a
boiler manufacturer in accordance with
the applicable safety standards.
The programmed parameters should only
be altered by a person familiarized with
this manual.
The device should only be used in heating
systems in accordance with the
applicable regulations.
The electric system in which the regulator
operates must be protected by means of
a fuse, selected appropriately to the
applied loads.
The regulator cannot be used if its casing
is damaged.
In no circumstances can the design of the
regulator be modified.
In the regulator there is applied
electronic disconnection of connected
devices (2Y type of operation according
to PN-EN 60730-1) as well as micro-
disconnection (2B type of operation
according to PN-EN 60730-1).
Keep the regulator out of reach of
children.

2. General information
Boiler regulator ecoMAX860P is a modern
electronic device intended to control boiler
operation with automatic feeding of solid fuel
and with the ignitors. Flame is detected via the
exhaust temperature sensor.
The regulator is a multipurpose device:
it automatically maintains a preset boiler
temperature by controlling the fuel
combustion process,
it controls timing fuel feeder and fan
(modulating its power),
it automatically stabilizes a preset
temperature of the domestic hot water
container,
it automatically maintains preset
temperature of several independent mixer
heating cycles.
The preset temperature of heating cycles and
the boiler can be set on the basis of a weather
sensor readouts.
The device includes the control panel with
horizontal regulation of its position, the main
operating unit and optional modules to control
additional heating circuits.
The regulator can cooperate with an additional
room panel ecoSTER200 and ecoSTER TOUCH
situated in living quarters and module for the
web WiFi ecoNET300.
It can be used in a household and similar
facilities, as well as in lightly industrialized
facilities.

8.4 FIRING UP
The FIRING UP mode is used for automatic
firing-up of furnace in the boiler. All
parameters which influence the firing-up
process can be found in menu:
Service settings →Burner settings →
Firing up
If the firing-up failed, additional attepnts will
be made. Consecutive attempts are visualised
by numbers next to the lighter symbol .
After three unsuccessful attempts, an alarm
Failed firing up attempt is reported. In such
case, the boiler operation is halted. Boiler
operation cannot be continued automatically -
service crew must intervene. After removing
causes of impossibility to fire-up, the boiler
must be restarted.
8.5 OPERATION
The fan operates continuously. Fuel feeder is
activated cyclically. A cycle consists of feeder
operation time and duration of feeding
interval
Parameters related with the Operation mode
are: Feeder operation time and Fan speed in:
Boiler settings →Output modulation
8.6 Regulation mode
There are two regulation modes for stabilizing
the set temperature of the boiler: Standard
and FuzzyLogic
Boiler settings →Regulation mode
Operating in Standard mode
When the boiler temperature reaches its set
value, the regulator switches to SUPERVISION
mode.
The regulator has a boiler output modulation
mechanism allowing it to gradually reduce the
output as the boiler temperature nears its set
value
Three boiler output levels can be set:
maximum, medium, and minimum. Each level
can be additionally adjusted with individual
fuel feeding times and fan speeds, affecting
the actual output of the boiler. The output
level parameters are accessible through the
menu
Boiler Settings →Output modulation
The regulator sets the current output of the
burner depending on the set temperature of
the boiler and H1 and H2 hysteresis settings
It is possible to set the H1 and H2 values to
modulate the output withouth the medium
power stage, ie. reducing output from 100%
to 30%, skipping the 50% output (right side
of the figure below).
Operating in FuzzyLogic mode
In FuzzyLogic mode, the regulator
automatically sets the output of the burner in
order to maintain the set boiler temperature.
The regulator uses the output settings
predefined in Standard mode. This mode does
not require setting the H1 and H2 hysteresis.
Note: If only the HUW is heated
(Summer mode), it is recommended
to set the regulator to Standard
mode.
After the set temperature is exceeded by 5ºC,
the boiler switches to SUPERVISION mode.
8.7 SUPERVISION
In SUPERVISION mode, the fan and the feeder
are switched on cyclicall at larger intervals
than in OPERATION mode. This is to prevent
the fire from being extinguished.
Supervision parameters can be found in
menu:
Service Settings →Burner Settings →
Supervision
SUPERVISION parameters should be set in
accordance with the recommendations of the
boiler or burner manufacturer. The
parameters should be adjusted to prevent the
furnace from extinguishing during intervals.
Parameters should be so selected
that the boiler temperature in this
Power levels

temperature T=85°C
Set
temperature T=85°C

11
mode gradually drops. Incorrect
settings may lead to boiler
overheating.
When the Supervision time expires, the
regulator switches to BURNING OFF mode,
unless the boiler temperature decreases and
the boiler automatically switches to
OPERATION mode.
For the setting Supervision time = 0,
the regulator skips the
SUPERVISION mode and enters the
BURNING OFF mode.
When the Supervision time = 255,
the regulator will work continuously
in SUPERVISION mode, until the
boiler temperature decreases and it
automatically switches to
OPERATION mode.
8.8 BURNING OFF
The extinguishing process does not occur
when coal is the fuel of choice. When pellets
are the fuel, they are burned off for several
minutes (depending on the set time). After
BURNING OFF, the regulator switches to
STANDSTILL.
8.9 STANDSTILL
In the STANDSTILL mode, the boiler is put out
and awaits signal to resume heating.
A signal to start heating can be:
decrease in preset boiler temperature below
the preset temperature minus the value of
boiler hysteresis (Boiler hysteresis),
if the boiler is set to work with a buffer -
decrease in upper buffer temperature below
the preset value (Loading start
temperature).
8.10 Settings HUW preset temperature
The device controls temperature of the
domestic how water - HUW container,
provided that a HUW temperature sensor is
connected. If the sensor is disconnected, an
information about lack thereof is displayed in
the main window. The parameter:
HUW settings →HUW pump mode allows
the user to:
disable filling of the HUW container,
parameter Off,
set HUW priority, using the Priority
parameter - in this case, the CH pump is
deactivated to speed up filling of the HUW
container.
set simultaneous operation of the CH and
HUW pump, using parameter No priority.
8.11 Disinfection of the HUW container
The regulator has a function of automatic,
periodic heating of HUW container to 70°C to
eliminate bacterial flora from the HUW
container.
The function is activated in the menu:
HUW settings → HUW disinfection
Keep the tenants informed of
activating the disinfection function
as there is risk of being burnt with
hot usable water.
The regulator increases the HUW container
temperature once a week, at 2:00 a.m.
Monday. After 10 minutes of maintaining the
temperature at 70°C, the HUW pump is
switched off and the boiler returns to normal
operation. Do not activate the disinfection
function when the HUW support is off.
8.12 Setting HUW preset temperaturę
Preset HUW temperature is defined by
parameter:
HUW settings →HUW preset temp.
HUW container hysteresis
When the temperature drops below the HUW
set temperature –HUW container hysteresis,
the HUW pump will start in order to supply the
HUW container.
In low hysteresis values, the HUW
pump will start faster when the HUW
temperature drops.
8.13 HUW circulation pump
The settings are located in:
HUW settings → Circulation pump night
time decrease
and
Service settings→ CH and HUW settings
The time settings of the circulation pump are
analogous to the settings of night time
decrease. The pump will be off in the defined
time periods. At other times, the pump will be
on at Circulation pump operation time
between every Circulation pump standstill
time.
8.14 Enabling the SUMMER function

12
To enable the SUMMER function, heating the
WUH tank without the need of supplying the
CH installation, set the Summer mode
parameter to on.
Menu Summer mode
In Summer mode, all heat receivers
may be shut off, so before enabling
it please make sure that the boiler
does not overheat.
If the weather sensor is connected, switching
between SUMMER and WINTER mode may
occur automatically.
8.15 Mixer circuits settings
Settings for the first mixer circuit can be found
in the menu:
Menu →Mixer 1 settings
Settings for other mixers can be accessed in
next menu items and they are identical for
each circuit.
Settings for mixer without weather sensor.
It is necessary to manually set the required
water temperature in the heating mixer circuit
using parameter Preset mixer temp., e.g. at a
value of 50°C. The value should allow to
obtain the required room temperature.
After connecting room thermostat, it is
necessary to set a value of decrease in preset
mixer temperature by thermostat
(parameters Mixer room therm.) e.g. at 5°C.
This value should be selected by trial and
error. The room thermostat can be a
traditional thermostat (No-Nc), or room panel
ecoSTER200/ecoSTER TOUCH. Upon
activation of the thermostat, the preset mixer
circuit temperature will be decreased, which,
if proper decrease value is selected, will stop
growth of temperature in the heated room.
Settings for mixer with weather sensor
without room thermostat
ecoSTER200/ecoSTER TOUCH.
Set parameter Mixer weather control to on.
Select weather curve. Using parameter Curve
translation, set preset room temperature
following the formula:
Preset room temperature = 20°C + heating
curve translation.
Example:
In this setup, it is possible to connect a room
thermostat which will equalize the inaccuracy
of selecting heating curve, if the selected
heating curve value is too high. In such case,
it is necessary to set the value of preset mixer
temperature decrease by thermostat, e.g. at
2°C. After opening of the thermostat contacts,
the preset mixer circuit temperature will be
decreased, which, if proper decrease value is
selected, will stop growth of temperature in
the heated room.
Settings for mixer with weather sensor and
with room thermostat ecoSTER200/ecoSTER
TOUCH.
Set parameter Weather contr.mixer to on.
Select weather curve. The
ecoSTER200/ecoSTER TOUCH regulator
automatically translates the heating curve,
depending on the preset room temperature.
The regulator relates the setting to 20°C, e.g.
for preset room temperature = 22°C, the
regulator will translate the heating curve by
2°C, for preset room temperature = 18°C, the
regulator will translate the heating curve by
-2°C. In some cases described in point. 8.16
it may be necessary to fine-tune the heating
curve translation.
In this setup, the ecoSTER200/ecoSTER
TOUCH room thermostat can:
- decrease the heating cycle temperature by a
constant value when the preset room
temperature is reached. Analogously, as
specified in the previous point (not
recommended), or
- automatically, continuously correct the
heating cycle temperature.
It is not recommended to use both
options at the same time.
Automatic correction of room temperature is
carried out in accordance with the following
formula:
Correction = (Preset room temperature -
measured room temperature) x room
temperature coefficient /10
Example.
Preset temperature in the heated room (set at
ecoSTER200) = 22°C. Temperature measured
in the room (by ecoSTER200) = 20°C. Room
temp. factor = 15.
Preset mixer temperature will be increased by
(22°C - 20°C) x 15/10 = 3°C.
It is necessary to find appropriate value of the
Room temp. factor. The higher the coefficient,

13
the greater the correction of preset boiler
temperature. If the setting is “0”, the preset
mixer temperature is not corrected. Note:
setting a value of the room temperature
coefficient too high may cause cyclical
fluctuations of the room temperature!.
8.16 Weather control
Depending on the temperature measured
outside the building, both preset boiler
temperature and temperatures of mixer
circuits can be controlled automatically. If
proper heating curve is selected, the
temperature of the circuits is calculated
automatically, depending on the outdoor
temperature. Thus, if the selected heating
curve is appropriate for the given building, the
room temperature stays more or less the
same, regardless of the temperature outside.
Note: during trial and error selection of
appropriate heating curve, it is necessary to
exclude influence of the room thermostat on
regulator operation (regardless of whether the
room thermostat is connected or not), by
setting the parameter:
Mixer 1 settings →Room therm. = Off
If a room panel ecoSTER200/ecoSTER TOUCH
is connected, it is also necessary to set the
parameter Room temp. factor to “0”.
Guidelines for proper setting of the heating
curve:
- floor heating 0,2 -0,6
- radiator heating 1,0 - 1,6
- boiler 1,8 - 4
Guidelines for selection of appropriate heating
curve:
- if the outdoor temperature drops, and the
room temperature increases, the selected
heating curve value is too high,
- if the outdoor temperature drops, and the
room temperature drops as well, the selected
heating curve value is too low,
- if during frosty weather the room
temperature is proper, but when it gets
warmer - it is too low, it is recommended to
increase the Curve translation and to select a
lower heating curve,
- if during frosty weather the room
temperature is too low, and when it gets
warmer - it is too high, it is recommended to
decrease the Curve translation and to select a
higher heating curve.
Buildings with poor thermal insulation require
higher heating curves, whereas for buildings
which have good thermal insulation, the
heating curve can have lower value.
The regulator can increase or decrease the
preset temperature, calculated in accordance
with the heating curve, if it exceeds the
temperature range for the given circuit.
8.17 Description of night time decrease
settings
Boiler night time decreases
The boiler operates in selected time intervals.
Outside of the selected intervals, the boiler is
burned off.
Night time decreases for heating circuits,
HUW container and circulation pump
operation.
The intervals can be used to define time
periods at which lower preset temperature
may be set e.g. for a night time or when the
user is not at home (e.g. he/she left for a
work/school). This feature enables automatic
reduction of preset temperature without
compromising the heat comfort and reduces
fuel consumption.
To activate time intervals, set the parameter:
Night time decrease for the given heating
circuit to ON.

14
Night time decrease may be set for working
days, Saturdays and Sundays.
The example of night time decrease of preset
temperature from 22:00 to 06:00 next day
and from 09:00 to 15:00 is given below.
Note! Setting of time intervals for 24
hours (one day) should start from
00:00!
In the given example, the regulator will set
the decrease of preset temperature by 3°C
from 00:00 to 06:00, and will keep the preset
value (without the decrease) from 06:00 to
09:00. Then, it will set the decrease by 5°C
from 09:00 to 15:00, and will keep the preset
value (without the decrease) again from
15:00 to 22:00; and again will set the
decrease by 3°C from 22:00 to 23:59.
Time interval is disregarded when
its decrease is set to "0" even
though "from... to ..." values have
been entered.
Decrease of preset boiler
temperature in selected time
intervals is indicated by the symbol:
on the main screen
8.18 Grate
The regulator is able to work with a Grate,
where the fuel is loaded manually. The feeder
is switched off, but the fan is operational. You
can switch between Burner and Grate modes
in:
Boiler settings → Heat source
Fan speeds are regulated in:
Boiler settings → Output modulation
Fan speed settings are different for the grate
than for the burner. Other parameters are set
in the service settings.
Changing modes between grate and
burner can be done via the ecoNET
internet module, but only after all
the manually loaded fuel is burned
off. In order to change modes, turn
the regulator off and on by clicking
“Work mode” in the “Current
information” tab.
8.19 Manual control
Regulator offers possibility to manual start of
working equipment such as pump, feeder
motor or fan. This feature enables checking
whether the given equipment is fault-free and
properly connected.
Note: Access to manual control
menu is possible only when the
boiler is OFF.
Note: Long-term operation of the
fan, the feeder or other working
equipment may lead to occurrence
of hazardous conditions.
8.20 Fuel level setup
Activating the fuel level gauge.
In order to enable display of the fuel level, set
value of parameter:
Boiler settings →Fuel level →Alarm level
to a value greater than zero, e.g. 10%
Tip: the fuel level can be viewed in the room
panel ecoSTER200 and ecoSTER TOUCH.
Operation of fuel level indicator.
Each time when fuel silo is filled to required
level it is necessary to press and keep the
knob in main window. Following info will
appear:
Once YES has been selected and confirmed,
fuel level is set at 100%. Fuel may be
replenished at any time without a need to wait
for complete empty fuel tank. Replenish fuel
always to the level corresponding to 100%
and confirm achieved 100% level by keeping
the knob pressed for a while!.
Description of operation.
The regulator calculates the fuel level basing
on the current fuel consumption. Default
settings do not always correspond to the
actual consumption of fuel by the given boiler,
therefore, for proper operation this method
requires the regulator user to perform level
Set fuel level at
100%?

calibration. No additional fuel level sensors
are required.
Calibration.
To perform calibration - fill the fuel tank to the
level corresponding to its full load and set the
parameter:
Boiler settings →Fuel Level → Fuel level
calibration →Fuel Level 100%
The indicator in the main window will be set
to 100%. On-going calibration process is
signalled by flashing fuel level gauge. The
gauge will flash until the time of marking the
point corresponding to minimal fuel level. One
must systematically control the decreasing
level of fuel in the bin. When the level reaches
the requested minimum, set the value of the
parameter:
Boiler settings →Fuel Level → Fuel level
calibration →Fuel Level 0%
Calibration process can be skipped if done
properly will set the parameters Feeder
efficiency and Tank capacity, which can be
found in:
Service Settings →Boiler settings.
8.21 Information
Information" menu allows to preview
temperatures being measured and to
recognize which equipment is currently ON.
Upon connection of mixers'
extension module, information
windows of additional mixers are
displayed.
8.22 Cooperation with the room panel
The regulator can work together with
ecoSTER200 and ecoSTER TOUCH remote
control device, which have a built-in room
thermostat. This room panel shows useful
information such as: fuel level, alarm
indication etc.
8.23 Cooperation with the internet
module
The regulator can work with the internet
module ecoNET300 that control regulator on-
line via WiFi or LAN, using the Web service
www.econet24.com and convenient
application for mobile devices ecoNET.apk.
The application ecoNET.apk can be
downloaded free of charge from:

thermostat, 14 –thermal isolation.
In order for the valve (6) to be able to effectively increase the return water temperature,
set a high set temperature of the boiler. In order to improve the water circulation in natural
systems (highlighted circuit in the figure): use large nominal diameter pipes and four-way
valve, avoid unnecessary angles and reductions, maintain a min. 2° horizontal pipe slope,
etc. If the sensor (3) is attached to the pipe, isolate it with foam surrounding the pipe and
sensor.
