Information for the User

We recommend the following steps after the consumption of 300 kg of pellets:

1. Check the ash container and the combustion chamber. If necessary, empty the ash drawer and clean it. Clean

the chamber of soot and ash using a vacuum cleaner.

2. Check the burner grate. If you  nd ash or deposits there, clean the grate (including air holes).

3. Check the bottom of the pellet tray. If dust has accumulated there clean it.

4. Use only high quality wood pellets of a diameter from 6 to 8 mm and a maximum length of 30 mm.

IMPORTANT

In summer, the boiler must remain connected to the power supply - to reduce the risk of condensation in the panel. To stop the

boiler operation, turn o󰀨 the heating circuits on the regulator.

Hot Utility Water Treatment

The system can be expanded up to:

• 5 heating circuits

• hot utility water treatment circuit

• heating system control with heat accumulation

tank– a bu󰀨 er

• control of the domestic hot water circulation pump

The boiler is designed to burn wood pellets. The ver-

tical convection system and the soot removal system

from the combustion tubes facilitate its cleaning. This

ensures a high and equal level of energy e󰀩 ciency.

A ash pan facilitates the daily maintaining of cleanli-

ness. The fuel is transported from the integrated con-

tainer by an automatic fuel feeding system. The boiler

regulator is responsible for the fuel supply and the

burner operation. The fuel combustion process takes

place with the participation of air supplied by a blower

fan. Exhaust gas is removed by means of an exhaust

fan installed in the boiler.

The boiler can be equipped with an internal circula-

tion DHW pump to which you can connect an external

DHW heat exchanger.

Before the  rst start-up of the burner (or if you run out

of fuel),  ll the auger with pellets. This is done by  l-

ling the storage bin with pellets, and then switching the

feeder function to the „On” position in the Manual Con-

trol. When  lling, extend the grate in the Manual Con-

trol and let the pellets fall through the burner into the

ash container so that they can be thrown back into the

storage bin. Leave the feeder running for 3 minutes.

Chapter 5 | Control Panel

Start-Up and Shutdown

The burner is fully automatic, i.e. it automatically  res

up and extinguishes, and does not require manual

start-up and adjustment during operation. The pro-

cess of  ring pellets in the burner is initiated by the

boiler controller.

1. In order to start the boiler, press on any point on

the control panel containing the text Burner O󰀨 .

A request ‘Activate regulator?’ appears; con rm

your selection by pressing on the mark. You can

also use another boiler start-up procedure: press

on MENU and  nd and press on the button on

the rotating menu.

2. After starting the boiler there will be PURGE. The

regulator analyzes the  ue gas temperature, if

the temperature does not change by a given dif-

ference (delta), the boiler will start CLEANING. If

the delta is exceeded, PURGE will continue until

the temperature stabilizes.

3. After CLEANING, the status of FIRING UP is

shown on the display of the operator panel.

• The pellets are supplied to the burner at a spe-

ci c dose (default for Pellux Slim 12 boiler is

100g, for Pellux Slim 18 - 140g )

• Igniter is activated

The order in which the feeder and heater are start-

ed depends on the time of feeding the starting

dose of fuel.

• After the heating-up time has elapsed, the

fans are turned on.

• After  ame detection, the igniter turns o󰀨 au-

tomatically.

4. The boiler goes into the INCANDESCENCE mode

1. In order to stop the boiler operation, press on

MENU and  nd and press on the button on

the rotating menu.

2. The control panel displays the BURNING OFF

status.

3. The pellet feeder stops.

IMPORTANT

The standard  re up process takes approx. 9 min. If

no  ame is detected within this time, the igniter will

try again 3 times. When  ame still cannot be detected

after 3 attempts, the emergency procedure is initiated

(Ignition failed) and the  re up process is interrupted.

IMPORTANT

The burner may still operate after switching the con-

troller OFF (damping a  re), depending on the previ-

ous status. Do not interrupt this condition. If the unit is

to be disconnected from the mains, wait until the  re

extinguishing process ends up and the burner status

shifts to the BURNER OFF status.

5. After completing the INCANDESCENCE proce-

dure, the boiler switches to OPERATION mode.

The FIRING UP mode is used for the re up of the

boiler furnace in auto mode. Parameters a󰀨ecting the

re up process are grouped in the menu:

Service Settings → Boiler Settings → Firing Up

If the furnace re up fails, there are further attempts to

ignite performed. These re up attempts are indicated

by numbers at the igniter symbol.

The Firing up attempt failed is reported after three un-

successful attempts. Automatic operation of the boiler

may not be continued – the boiler operator has to in-

tervene. Restart the boiler after remedying the cause

for the re up failure.

The air blower operates in continuous mode. The

fuel feeder operates in cycles. A cycle consists of the

feeder operation time and a break time.

Parameters that a󰀨ect the burner output: feeder op-

eration time, airow time and feeder operation time.

is approved for operation. The re-

quired boiler temperature has been

reached.

Incandescence

After detecting a ame in the ring up phase, there oc-

curs an incandescence of the furnace before serving

the next portion of fuel in the time specied by the In-

candescence time parameter and increasing the blow-

ing power. Parameter is in the menu:

Service Settings → Boiler Settings → Firing Up

You can set the boiler temperature setpoint as well as

the mixer circuit temperature setpoint from the menu

level:

Boiler Settings → Preset Boiler Temperature

HUW settings → HUW preset temperature

Mixer 1-5 settings → Preset mixer 1-5 temperature

The controller can automatically increase the boiler

temperature setpoint in order to be able to ll the hot

utility water tank or supply the mixer heating circuits.

There are two control modes available that are re-

sponsible for the boiler temperature setpoint stabili-

zation, i.e.:

1. Standard

2. Fuzzy Logic

If the boiler temperature reaches or exceeds the set-

point value by the hysteresis value, the boiler goes into

the SUPERVISION or BURNING OFF mode.

Service Menu → Boiler Settings → Output Modu-

lation → Regulation Mode

If the boiler temperature reaches or exceeds the set-

point value by the hysteresis value, the boiler goes into

the SUPERVISION or BURNING OFF mode. The con-

troller includes a mechanism for the boiler output mod-

ulation and allowing gradual reduction of it when the

boiler temperature comes closer to the setpoint value.

There are three output levels predened:

• maximum output,100%,

• medium output, 50%

• minimum output, 30%.

Various fuel supply times and airow outputs can be

assigned to these levels. The output level parameters

are available in the menu:

Service Menu → Boiler Settings → Output Modulation

The controller determines the power of the burner

with which the boiler will work at the moment, de-

pending of the boiler temperature setpoint and prede-

ned hysteresis in the parameters 50% H2 hysteresis

and 30% H1 hysteresis.

You can congure the H1 and H2 values so that the

modulation will occur without the transient condition,

i.e. passing directly from 100 % to 30 % with the

omission of 50 %.

PELLUX SLIM 18

Chapter 5 | Control Panel

In Fuzzy Logic mode, the controller decides automat-

ically the burner output, at which the boiler will op-

erate in order to maintain the boiler temperature at

the preset level. The controller uses the prede ned

output levels same as in the Standard mode. There

is no need to set parameters for H2 Hysteresis and

H1 Hysteresis in this mode. The controller goes into

the SUPERVISION or BURNING OFF mode when

the boiler temperature setpoint is exceeded by 5 de-

grees.

Operation in Fuzzy Logic Mode

After the lapse of the monitoring ti me, the control-

ler enters into the BURNING OFF mode, unless the

boiler temperature has dropped earlier, and the boiler

returns into the OPERATION mode automatically.

In the SUPERVISION mode, the air blower operates

in continuous mode and feeder operate in cycles in

longer intervals than in the OPERATION mode. This

is to prevent dampening the  re.

The SUPERVISION mode parameters can be ac-

cessed in the menu:

Service Settings → Boiler Settings → Supervision

Set the Supervision mode parameters so as to prevent

the furnace extinguishing during the boiler outages.

IMPORTANT

If only the HUW tank is heated (in the summer), we

recommend to switch the controller to the Standard

mode.

IMPORTANT

Parameters in the Monitoring mode must be select-

ed so that the temperature decreases gradually or is

maintained at a constant level. Incorrect settings can

lead to overheating the boiler.

In the STOP mode, the boiler is extinguished and

waits for the signal to begin operation.

The signal to begin operation can be as follows:

• the boiler temperature setpoint drops below the

temperature setpoint minus the boiler hysteresis

(Boiler hysteresis),

• when the boiler is con gured for operation with

the bu󰀨 er, drop of the bu󰀨 er overall temperature

below the setpoint (Temperature of the bu󰀨 er  ll-

ing start)

In the burning o󰀨 process, the remaining pellet is  red

up and the boiler is prepared for stopping or switching

o󰀨 . All parameters a󰀨 ecting the burning o󰀨 process are

grouped in the menu:

Service Settings → Boiler settings → Burning o󰀨

The regulator stops feeding fuel and performs scav-

enge to burn o󰀨 remaining fuel. After SWITCHING

OFF, the controller switches to STOP mode.

Stop

Burning o󰀨

IMPORTANT

If the monitoring ti me parameter = 0, the controller

goes into the BURNING OFF mode immediately omit-

ting the SUPERVISION mode.

IMPORTANT

If the monitoring time parameter = 60, the controller

remians in the SUPERVISION mode for 60min., after

that time the controller goes into the BURNING OFF

mode.

The regulator has a special chimney sweep mode,

during which the boiler works at a constant power of

30% or 100%. The boiler works with the given power

for the set time: Worktime,

This parameter can be found in the menu:

Chimney sweep mode

The function can be used to adjust the air setpoints

using an exhaust gas analyzer.
