1Safety
Safety requirements are
specified in individual sections
of this manual. Apart from
them, the following
requirements should in
particular be applied:
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.
The regulator cannot be used at
variance with its purpose.
Additional automatics which
protects the boiler, central
heating system, and hot utility
water system against results of
malfunction of the regulator, or
of errors in its software.
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 gases can
cause fire or explosion. Thus,
the regulator should be
separated from flammable
dusts and gases by means of
an appropriate body.
The regulator is to be enclosed
in a boiler, or near it.
The additional thermal
safeguard, applied in the
regulator, does not function as
a safety temperature limiter.
Therefore, it cannot be used
instead of a safety temperature
limiter!
The value of the programmable
parameters should be selected
appropriately to the parameters
of the given boiler and the
given fuel, considering all the
system operation conditions.
Incorrect selection of the
parameters can cause
malfunction of the boiler (e.g.
overheating of the boiler, etc.).
The regulator is intended for
boiler manufacturers. Before
applying the regulator, a boiler
manufacturer should check if
    

2General information
The ecoMAX 200 series boiler regulator is an
electronic device intended for solid fuel
boilers. It performs the following functions:
Automatic stabilization of a given
temperature of the boiler cycle,
Automatic stabilization of a given
temperature of the hot utility water tank.
Combusting regulation is performed using
three selectable methods:
- by linear reduction of the airflow power
when the temperature approaches the preset
boiler temperature (CLASSIC regulation),
- by smooth modulation of the airflow power
(PID regulation without an emission sensor),
- by smooth regulation of the airflow power
(PID regulation with an emission sensor)1.
After equipping the regulator with an
additional emission sensor, it is possible to
quickly detect that the fuel is running out in
any mode of the boiler regulation. This
decreases heat losses related to the fan
operating without any fuel, and extends the

needs not be added quickly, as fast detection
of the lack of fuel maintains glow in the
boiler furnace for a longer time.
The fan start is smooth. This decreases the
risk of gas explosion in the boiler chamber,
which is of particular significance in fine coal
boilers.
The device is operated in an easy and
intuitive way.
Possibility of cooperation with a room
thermostat allows to maintain comfortable
temperature in the heated rooms.
3Information about documentation
The regulator manual is a supplement for the
boiler manual. In particular, except for this
manual, the boiler manual should also be
observed. The regulator manual is divided
into two parts: for user and fitter. Yet, both
parts contain important information,
1option the emission sensor is not part of
standard equipment
significant for safety issues, hence the user
should read both parts of the manual.
We are not responsible for any damages
caused by failure to observe these
instructions.
4Storage of documentation
This assembly and operation manual, as well
as any other applicable documentation,
should be stored diligently, so that it was
available at any time. In the case of moving
or selling the device, the attached
documentation
should be forwarded to the new user/owner.

window with the software version appears,
then the regulator displays the main window.
7.4 Firing up –activation of airflow
In order to fire the boiler up, you should put
fire under the fuel, in accordance with the
boiler documentation, close the boiler door
and activate airflow by pushing the START
button. The fan will be activated. Pushing
STOP turns the fan and the regulation
process off.
7.5 Presetting boiler temperature
The boiler temperature can be preset by
pushing the F button in the main menu. A
signalling arrow next to the sign

7.7 Combustion regulation methods
The regulator features three selectable
methods of regulating the combustion
process.
CLASSIC regulation (regulation mode 1)
In order to enable the CLASSIC mode of
boiler regulations, set the boiler regulation
mode to value 1. In order to do so, press
the F button in the main window until the
arrow is in the boiler regulation mode
position. -" buttons to set value
The method is based on the T1 boiler
indication, and consists in decreasing of the
airflow power from Maximum revolutions
to Minimum revolutions while achieving
the preset boiler temperature. Revolutions

parameter n7) before the preset boiler
temperature. After achieving the preset
boiler temperature, the SUPERVISION mode
is activated, where blow-offs are performed.
Before enabling this mode for the first time,
it is recommended to program the regulator
in accordance with point 11.9.
PID regulation (regulation mode 2)
After setting the parameter boiler regulation
mode = 2.
This method is based on boiler temperature
indications T1, it consists in constant,
smooth modulation of the fan revolutions in
order to stabilize the preset boiler
temperature. The regulator itself selects the
airflow power in such a way that the boiler
generated minimum amount of heat
necessary to satisfy the heat demand of the
building. Transition to the SUPERVISION
mode is rare and it happens during lack of
heat demand.
Before enabling this mode for the first time,
it is recommended to program the regulator
in accordance with point 11.9.
PID EMISSION regulation (regulation
mode 3) –new!
Three modes of combustion control
are available: 1 - CLASSIC, 2 - PID,
3 PID SALINES point 7.7.
If the hot utility water temperature
sensor is not connected, it is not
possible to preset the hot utility
water temperature.
Caution: The combustion regulation
methods described below will
properly regulate the combustion
process, as long as the boiler is
operated in accordance with
recommendations of the boiler
manufacturer. You should pay
special attention to the place of
setting fire during firing up!

10
After setting the parameter boiler regulation
mode = 3 (emission sensor must be
connected).
This method is based on emission sensor
indications T3. It consists in constant,
smooth modulation of the fan revolutions in
order to stabilize the preset emission
temperature. As opposed to the boiler
regulation mode = 2, the airflow operation is
more stable, without excessive increasing of
the airflow power, which makes that method
more economical in respect of fuel saving.
After loading the fuel and pushing the START
button, the fan operates with maximum
revolutions . As the preset emission
temperature is approached, the revolutions
are automatically reduced. When the
emission temperature reaches the preset
temperature for the first time, a slight
adjustment is made.
In the PID EMISSION mode, it is possible to
temporarily increase the emission preset
temperature. This facilitates firing the boiler
up. Thanks to this, the temperature in the
heated rooms will increase faster, without
the necessity of going to the boiler room
later on, in order to decrease the boiler
power. To temporarily increase the boiler
power, for e.g. 30 min, enable the fan using
the START button, than push the START
button again and hold it for 2 s. The boiler
symbol at the display starts to flash Drawing

Moreover, after equipping the regulator with
an emission sensor, it is possible to enable
very fast detection of fuel shortage. This
provides additional saving of heat energy
resulting from almost instantaneous
deactivation of the fan when the fuel runs
out. Also, the fuel needs not be added
quickly, as fast detection of the lack of fuel
maintains glow in the boiler furnace for a
longer time.

The optimal preset emission temperature
depends on the type of fuel and the boiler
design, and it should be determined
experimentally. When burning wood, the
flame should be blue-yellow, and when
burning coal yellowish. For example, the
optimal temperature for wood is between

involve the risk of water condensing
out of the emission, which can
necessitate chimney renovation.
The same applies to presetting
excessively high temperatures of
water in the boiler. PLUM sp. z o.o.
company recommends to operate
the boiler at optimal parameters
(optimal emission and boiler
temperature), combined with
storing of excessive energy in a
thermal buffer.

11
If optimal emission temperature causes
excessive heating up of the boiler, it is best
to store the surplus energy in a thermal
buffer. If the central heating system does not
feature a thermal buffer, you such find such
preset emission temperature at which the
temperature of water in the boiler is at the
desired level. If it is too hot in a room,
decrease the preset emission temperature,
and increase it in the opposite case. The
preset boiler temperature is in this method of
secondary importance, it prevents exceeding
undesirable temperature of the boiler. It is
recommended to preset the boiler

expected boiler temperature after the
emission temperature settles. After the boiler
reaches the preset temperature, the
regulator switches to the SUPERVISION
mode.
High emission temperature, even if
the fan rotates slowly, can mean
that the boiler is contaminated in
such case, it should be cleaned.
Before enabling this mode for the first time,
it is recommended to program the regulator
in accordance with point 11.9
Caution: the regulator will
automatically switch from
regulation mode 3 to mode 1, if the
emission sensor is damaged or if
the emission temperature exceeds
the emission sensor measuring
capacity. Therefore, it is important
to set proper parameters for the
regulator to operate in mode 1,
without causing any danger.
7.8 SUPERVISION
The regulator switches to the SUPERVISION
mode in the following circumstances:
a) In the case of CLASSIC and PID
EMISSION modes of regulation if the
boiler temperature exceeds the preset
boiler temperature,
b) In the case of PID mode of regulation if
the boiler temperature exceeds the
preset boiler temperature by +
In the SUPERVISION mode the fan is enabled
cyclically for short periods, in order to
prevent the fire from going out and to
remove accumulated combustible gases from
the boiler furnace chamber. The fan is
enabled for blow-off time at every blow-off
interval. These times must be selected in
such a way that the boiler furnace did not go
out and, at the same time, to prevent the
boiler temperature from increasing.
Incorrect selection of blow-off
parameters can cause boiler
overheating.
7.9 Settings for hot utility water
The device regulates the temperature of the
hot utility water tank, provided that a hot
utility water temperature sensor is
connected. Using the hot utility water mode
parameter , the user can:
set the hot utility water priority (HUW
mode =1) the central heating pump
is disabled to fill the hot utility water
tank faster
set simultaneous operation of central
heating and hot utility water pump
(HUW mode = 2),
enable the SUMMER function (HUW
mode = 3),
disable tank filling (HUW mode =4),
If the hot utility water sensor is
disconnected, the hot utility water
mode user parameter cannot be
changed.
7.10 Enabling the SUMMER function
In order to enable the SUMMER function,
which allows to fill the hot utility water tank
in the summer without the need of warming
the central heating system, set the
parameter hot utility water mode = 3.
Do not enable the SUMMER function if
the hot utility water pump is
disconnected.
The SUMMER function cannot be
enabled if the hot utility water sensor is
disconnected.
The SUMMER function can be enabled
only after making sure that the boiler will
not overheat. If the SUMMER function is
enabled, the heat consumption is much
lower, because the central heating pump
is inactive. The method of decreasing the
boiler overheating is described in point

Do not enable the SUMMER function
in a hydraulic system with a thermal
buffer
7.11 Operation without airflow
Unless the START button is pressed in the
main display window (right after turning the
regulator on via the mains switch), the
device controls only the pumps.
The central heating pump and the hot utility
water pump operate in accordance with their
algorithm. They are activated if appropriate
conditions are met. The conditions for pump
activation are described in individual sections
of the manual.
In order to use the regulator without
active fan, press the STOP button in
the main display window.
7.12 Manual control
Press both F and START buttons and hold
them for 4 seconds to enable manual control
of the regulator outputs. The window shown
at Drawing 5 appears and the central heating
pump symbol flashes first:

utility water pump, its symbol flashes. The
fan starts up with the Maximum revolutions
power.
Exit from manual control is made
automatically after a period of idleness, or
after holding the F button.

typical of normal road transport.
11 Regulator installation
11.1 Environmental conditions
Due to the risk of explosion or fire, it is
prohibited to operate the regulator in
explosive gas and flammable dust
atmosphere (e.g. coal dust). In such cases, it
is necessary to apply additional measures
protecting the regulator against penetration
by flammable dusts and gases (tight body),
or to prevent their emergence.
On account of risk of shock, the regulator
has been designed to be used in an
environment marked as pollution level 3,
acc. to PN-EN 60730-1.
Moreover, the regulator cannot be used in
the presence of vapour condensation, and be
exposed to water.
11.2 Conditions of enclosing
The regulator must be enclosed. The
regulator should be installed by a qualified
and authorised fitter, in accordance with the
applicable norms and regulations.
The manufacturer bears no responsibility for
damages caused by failure to observe this
manual.
The regulator cannot be used as a stand-
alone device. The temperature of the
ambient and the fitting surface cannot
exceed the range of 0 - 
The regulator is designed to be fitted in a
mounting plate. Proper thermal insulation
between hot boiler walls and the regulator
must be provided.
A hole must be made in the mounting plate,
in accordance with Drawing 8.

Drawing 10. Conditions of enclosing the regulator
The regulator enclosure must provide degree
of protection appropriate for the
environmental conditions in which the
regulator will be used. Moreover, it must
prevent the user from accessing dangerous
live parts, e.g. the terminals. The regulator
enclosure does not provide resistance to dust
and water. In order to secure the device
against these factors, the module must be
equipped with appropriate body.
Due to thermal conditions and safety issues,
a safe distance between active parts of the
terminals and the conductive (metal)
elements of the enclosure must be kept 
Drawing 10. Metal elements of the regulator
enclosure must be connected with the
protective wire of the feeding cable Drawing

Connecting wires must be protected against
being torn out, loosened, or they must be
enclosed in a way which prevents any
tensions in relation to the wires.
11.3 IP protection rate
The regulator casing provides various rates
of IP protection in various places. Drawing 10
provides and explanation. After enclosing the
device, in accordance with the drawing from
the face of the regulator, it has protection
rate IP 40. From the side of the terminals,
the regulator has protection rate IP00,
therefore the terminals must be
unconditionally enclosed, thus preventing
access to this part of the regulator.
11.4 Connecting electrical system
He regulator is designed to be fed with
230V~, 50Hz voltage. The electrical system
should be:

17
three core (with protective wire),
in accordance with applicable
regulations.
Diagram of electrical connections is
presented in Drawing 12. The connection
wires should not have contact with surfaces
of room temperature exceeding the nominal
temperature of their operation.
Terminals L, N and number 1-8 are intended
only for connecting devices with mains
supply 230V~.
Terminals 9-20 are intended for cooperation
with low voltage devices (below 12 V).
Connecting mains supply 230V~ to
terminals 9-10 will damage the
regulator and creates risk of an
electric shock.
Tips of the connected wires, especially power
leads, must be secured against splitting by
means of insulated clamp sleeves, in
accordance with the drawing below:

11.7 Connecting temperature sensors
The regulator is compatible only with sensors
type CT4 (sensor of boiler and hot utility
water) and CT2s (emission sensor). It is
prohibited to use different sensors.
Sensor leads can be extended with wires
with section of at least 0,5mm2. Total length
of the sensor leads cannot exceed 15 m.
The boiler temperature sensor CT4 should be
fitted in the thermometric pipe, situated in
the boiler shell. Hot utility water temperature
sensors CT4 - in the thermometric pipe
welded into the tank.
The sensors must be secured
against coming loose from the
measured surfaces.
Good thermal contact between the sensors
and the measured surface must be ensured.
For this purpose, use thermally conductive
paste. Do not pour oil over the sensors.
The sensor cables should be separated from
mains leads. Otherwise, the temperature
indications can be incorrect. Minimum
distance between these leads should be at
least 10 cm.
The sensor leads cannot have contact with

11.9 First start-up of the regulator
The regulator should be programmed to
cooperate with the given type of boiler and
central heating system.
Preparation for cooperation with the boiler:
Set the value of service parameter
minimal fan revolutions n2 in accordance
with point 12.3,
Preset minimum boiler temperature n3 in
accordance with point 12.4.
Preset maximum boiler temperature n4 in
accordance with point 12.15.
Select method of detecting fuel shortage
in accordance with point 12.21 and
12.10.
Select boiler regulation mode in
accordance with point 7.7
For boiler regulation mode –1: select
value of parameters Maximum
revolutions and Minimum revolutions
, as well as value of the n7 parameter
as specified in point 12.8
For boiler regulation mode = 2 and 3
(PID and PID - EMISSION): select value
of Maximum revolutions and
Minimum revolutions ..
Set the fan starting time P5, especially in
the case of fine coal boilers, as specified
in point 13.
Preparation for cooperation with central
heating system:
Set central heating pump activation
temperature, defined by parameter n0,
as specified in point 12.1,
If the hot utility water tank is to be filled
via hot utility water pump, select the hot
utility water pump operation mode, acc.
to point 7.9.
11.10 Connecting room thermostat
To make the boiler more economical, and the
temperature in the heated rooms more
stable, install a room thermostat.
The regulator is compatible with a
mechanical or electronic room thermostat,
which disconnects its contact after a preset
temperature has been reached. The
thermostat should be connected in
accordance with Drawing 12.
After installing a room thermostat, you must
enable its support. To do so, set the service
parameter Room thermostat (service
parameter n8 = 1).
After reaching the preset
temperature in the room, the room
thermostat disconnects its contacts,
and a symbol appears on the display
(symbol 7, Drawing 2)
When the temperature in the room in which
the room thermostat has been installed
reaches the preset value (the room
thermostat disconnects its contacts), then:
a) the ecoMAX 200 regulator lowers the
preset boiler temperature by the
value Boiler preset temperature
decrease by thermostat (service
parameter r0), which is signalled by
symbol 10, Drawing 2.
b) the ecoMAX 200 regulator will block
the central heating pump for 30 s at
intervals Central heating pump down-
time by thermostat (service
parameter n8). If n8 = 0, there is no
central heating pump blockade.
It is not recommended to block
the central heating pump if the
PID mode of regulation is
selected, in such case it suffices to
lower the boiler preset
temperature. The regulator will
automatically reduce its
revolutions.
Central heating pump blockade by
thermostat can be enabled only
after making sure that the boiler
will not overheat.

11.11 Connecting temperature limiter
STB
In order to prevent the boiler from
overheating due to the regulator
malfunction, a safety temperature limiter,
appropriate for the given boiler and heating
system, should be fitted.
The limiter can be connected to terminals 1-
2, as specified in Drawing 12 . When the
limiter activate, the fan power supply will be
disconnected.
The temperature limiter must
have nominal operating voltage of
at least ~230V, and it should have
the applicable permits.
If the limiter is not connected to terminals 1-
2, a bridge should be made. The bridge
should be made of wire the section of which
is at least 0,75 mm2, with insulation thick
enough to comply with the boiler safety
requirements.
The current regulations demand
that a safety temperature limiter
is used.
11.12 Connecting additional thermal
protection
The ecoMAX 200 regulator can be equipped
with additional thermal protection, type DZT-
1. This is an optional equipment, available to
special order. It cuts off the fan power
supply. Sensor of the additional thermal
protection, which operates on low safe
voltage, should be placed in the
thermometric pipe of the water jacket. You
should provide good thermal contact of the
DZT-1 sensor, and secure it against coming
loose from the measured surface.
If the boiler temperature exceeds the DZT-1

power supply is cut off. The fan power supply
will be automatically restored after the boiler
temperature drops by 10-20 degrees Celsius.
If a DZT-1 sensor is not connected, an
electric bridge should be made at terminals
11-12.
The additional thermal
protection cannot be used
instead of the mandatory
safety temperature limiter!
11.13 Smooth fan start
During every activation of the fan, the
regulator gradually increases the airflow
power, which decreases the risk of explosion
of gases accumulated in the boiler. This
advantage is of particular significance in the
case of fine coal boilers.
