1RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING
SAFETY
Requirements concerning safety
are described in detail in
individual chapters of this
manual. Apart from them, the
following requirements should
in particular be observed:
ÞBefore 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.
ÞAfter the regulator is turned off
using the keyboard, dangerous
voltage can occur on the
terminals.
ÞThe regulator cannot be used at
variance with its purpose.
ÞAdditional 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.
ÞChoose 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.),
ÞThe 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.
ÞThe 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.
ÞThe regulator must be installed
by a boiler manufacturer in
accordance with the applicable
safety standards.
ÞThe programmed parameters
should only be altered by a
person familiarized with this
manual.
ÞThe device should only be used
in heating systems in
accordance with the applicable
regulations.
ÞThe electric system in which the
regulator operates must be
protected by means of a fuse,
selected appropriately to the
applied loads.
ÞThe regulator cannot be used if
its casing is damaged.
ÞIn no circumstances can the
design of the regulator be
modified.
ÞElectronic isolation of the
connected devices is applied in
this regulator (action type Y2
acc. to PN-EN 60730-1).
ÞThe regulator consists of two
subassemblies. In the case of
replacing one subassembly,
make sure to maintain
compatibility with the other
one. More information on that
issue can be found in the
documentation intended for
fitters.
ÞKeep the regulator out of reach
of children.

2General information
The ecoMAX 800 boiler regulator, model R1,
version ec, is a modern electronic device the
purpose of which is to control operation of a
coal-fired boiler with a feeding screw. The
regulator is a multipurpose device:
-it automatically maintains a preset boiler
temperature by controlling the fuel
combustion process,
-it controls timing of feeding screw and
fan,
-it automatically stabilizes a preset
temperature of the domestic hot water
tank,
-it automatically maintains a preset
temperature of one heating mixer cycle,
and after equipping the regulator with
an extension module, it controls
(altogether) operation of three heating
mixer cycles,
The preset temperature of heating cycles and
boiler can be set on the basis of a weather
sensor readouts.
The regulator features an individual fuzzy
logic function. It allows to optimize the
combustion process, which is in favour of
natural preservation, decreases fuel
consumption and relieves the user of the
necessity of adjusting the burner
parameters.
Possibility of cooperation with room
thermostats, separate for each heating
cycles, facilitates maintaining comfortable
temperature in the heated rooms. Moreover,
if need arises, the device enables a reserve
boiler (gas- or oil-fired).
The device has modular construction,
consisting of a control panel, the main
executive module, and, optionally, a control
module for two additional mixer cycles.
The device is operated in an easy and
intuitive way.
Regulator can cooperate with an additional
control panel situated in living quarters. It
can be used in a household and similar
facilities, as well as in light industrialized
facilities.
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,
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.

OPERATION
mode, the regulator will continue to
heat the boiler until reaching the
preset CH temperature + 5o
C.
Then, it will automatically switch
into the OPERATION
mode, and, as
a result, into the CONTROL
mode,
on account of the fact t
hat the
preset boiler temperature has been
reached.
If the boiler temperature is higher
than the preset CH temperature
+
5oC, the LIGHT
mode cannot be
enabled.
In order to do so, increase
the preset CH temperature
, or wait
until the boiler cools down.
8.7 OPERATION –manual settings
The regulator offers two modes of controlling
the boiler furnace: manual setting –

Drawing 9 View of the main window in the OPERATION
mode
The regulator can be switched into the
OPERATION mode while skipping the LIGHT
mode. To do so, select the OPERATION mode
in the main window and push the „TOUCH
and PLAY” knob.
After switching over to the OPERATION
mode, the airflow is activated 5s earlier than
the feeder, and it works constantly, as
presented in Drawing 10. The fuel feeder is
enabled cyclically. A cycle consists of the
feeder operation time (feed time OPERAT),
and the interval between feeding (feed
interval OPERAT). These times should be set
in accordance with the boiler manufacturer’s
recommendations.
In order to ensure proper operation of the
boiler, set these parameters, as well as the
fan power, to match the amount and type of
fuel.
Feeder operation time, feeding interval and
fan power can be set in:
MENU -> FEED TIME OPERAT
MENU -> FEED INTERVAL OPERAT
MENU -> FAN POWER

Detailed information about the regulator’s
cooperation with a room thermostat can be
found in section 13.11.
If in the OPERATION mode it is necessary to
fill the DHW tank, the regulator will increase
the preset boiler temperature, fill the DHW
tank, and return to the original settings.
After reaching the preset CH temperature,
the regulator automatically switches into the
CONTROL mode.
8.8 OPERATION –Fuzzy logic settings
After switching the boiler adjustment mode
from Standard to Fuzzy Logic, the regulator
works in the OPERATION mode without the
need of programming the following
parameters: feed time OPERAT, feed interval
OPERAT, fan power. The regulator selects the
parameters to optimize the combustion
process.
It is advised to fire the boiler up
using the LIGHT
mode and wait
until the combustion process
stabilizes before enabling the
fuzzy logic control.
In order to enable the Fuzzy logic regulation
mode, enter: MENU -> ADJUSTMENT MODE,
and place the cursor over „Fuzzy logic”.
Drawing 11 Selecting the adjustment mode
Please note that the fuzzy logic program is
selected individually for the given type of the
boiler and fuel, and it can work properly only
with this boiler and fuel. It is recommended
to keep the fuel dry.
The type of boiler and fuel to which
the regulator is set is specified in
the fuel selection menu: MENU -
>
FUEL TYPE
With the fuzzy logic regulation, the
fan aperture should be max
imally
opened, and the boiler should be
clean.
In the case of changing the
fan or the feeder, replace them
with identical types.
In the fuzzy logic regulation, the
value of the fan power
parameter is
not taken into account in the
regulator operation algorithm.
8.9 CONTROL

13
The CONTROL mode can be active both
during manual and automatic (Fuzzy Logic)
regulation.
The regulator switches into the CONTROL
mode automatically, without the user’s
interference:
- in Standard regulation mode –after
reaching the preset boiler temperature,
- in Fuzzy logic regulation mode –after
exceeding the preset CH temperature by +
5°C. In the Fuzzy logic mode, the regulator
tries not to switch into CONTROL and to
supply as much heat as the CH system
requires at the time.
In the CONTROL mode, the regulator
supervises the furnace, so that it would not
go out. For this purpose, the airflow and the
feeder are activated only once in a while,
less frequently than in the OPERATION
mode. There is no further increase in
temperature.
The airflow does not work continuously, it is
enabled cyclically, together with the fuel
feeder, which prevents the flame from going
out during the boiler standstill.
Drawing 12 View of the main window in the CONTROL
mode
Drawing 13 Fan and feeder operation cycles in the
CONTROL mode
The interval between operations of airflow
and feeder is determined by the parameter
feed interval CONTR available in:
MENU -> FEED INTERVAL CONTR
This time should be set in accordance with
the boiler manufacturer’s recommendations.
The time should be chosen bearing in mind,
that too long an interval can make the
furnace fall in during the boiler standstills,
yet setting an insufficient time will lead to an
increase in the boiler temperature. The
feeder and airflow operation time in the
CONTROL mode is set using the parameter
feed time CONTR, available in:
MENU -> SERVICE SETTINGS -> BOILER
SETTINGS ->FEED TIME CONTR
The time of extend fan time in order to fire
up the fuel after is has been fed is set in:
MENU -> SERVICE SETTINGS -> BOILER
SETTINGS -> EXTEND FAN TIME
Set the parameters feed interval
CONTR, feed time CONTR
and
extend fan time
to allow the boiler
temperature gradually drop in this
mode.
Wrong settings can make
the boiler overheat.
The regulator automatically extends
the time of feed interval CONTR
by
half if the boiler temperature
exceeds the preset CH
temperature
by 3o
C, and extends it twofold if the
boiler temperature exceeds the
preset boiler temperature by 5oC.
In the CONTROL mode, the fan works with
identical power as in the OPERATION mode,
equal to the fan power parameter.
If in this mode the room thermostat
disconnects its contacts, thus signalling that
the preset temperature has been reached,
then the regulator:
·lowers the preset CH temperature by
the parameter decrease in
temperature on account of thermostat
(MENU -> SERVICE SETTINGS ->
PASSWORD -> BOILER SETTINGS ->
ROOM THERMOSTAT),
·disables the CH pump for the CH
pump start temp. with thermostat on
(MENU -> SERVICE SETTINGS ->
PASSWORD -> CH/DHW SETTINGS -
> CH STANDSTILL.

14
Detailed information regarding the
thermostat can be found in section
13.11.
The regulator automatically returns to the
OPERATION mode once the boiler
temperature decreases by the value boiler
hysteresis in relation to the preset
temperature.
8.10 Fuel selection
The fuel selection menu is intended only for
the FUZZY LOGIC regulation mode. Choose
the appropriate type of fuel, accordingly to
the fuel used in the boiler.
Drawing 14 Fuel selection
In the STANDARD regulation mode, the user
must choose the values of the burner
parameters on their own.
8.11 Settings for domestic hot water (DHW)
The device regulates the temperature of the
domestic hot water tank, provided that a
DHW temperature sensor is connected. If the
sensor is disconnected, appropriate
notification is displayed in the main window.
Using the DHW pump mode parameter, the
user can:
·disable feeding of the tank, parameter
OFF,
·set DHW priority using the priority
parameter - in this case, the CH pump
is off and the mixer is closed in order
to fill the DHW tank faster,
·enable simultaneous operation of the
CH and DHW pump using the
parameter no priority
8.12 Presetting domestic hot water
temperature
The DHW temperature can be preset by
entering:
MENU -> PRESET DHW TEMP.
and set this parameter at the desired value.
The preset domestic hot water temperature
can be also set at the main window. Press
the „TOUCH and PLAY” knob in the main
window. The preset boiler temperature
flashes, press the knob again to make the
DHW temperature flash –you can set it then.
Press the „TOUCH and PLAY” knob to preset
the domestic hot water temperature. Confirm
the settings by pressing the “TOUCH and
PLAY” knob once more. In order to exit the
temperature editing, press the EXIT button.
8.13 Enabling the SUMMER function
In order to enable the SUMMER function,
which allows to fill the domestic hot water
tank in the summer without the need of
warming the central heating system and the
mixer cycles, set the parameter DHW pump
mode to summer.
MENU -> DHW PUMP MODE
The SUMMER function cannot be
enabled if the
domestic hot water
sensor is disconnected.
Do not enable the summer function
if the DHW pump is disconn
ected
or damaged
8.14 DHW tank disinfection
The regulator has a function of automatic,
periodical heating of the DHW water tank to
70°C. The purpose of this is to eradicate
bacterial flora from the DHW tank.
The household members must be
notified about the
fact of enabling
the disinfection function, as it
carries the risk of scalding with hot
water.
Once per week, on Sunday at 02:00 a.m.,
the regulator increases the DHW tank
temperature. After 10 minutes of keeping the
tank at this temperature, the DHW pump is
turned off, and the boiler resumes normal
operation. The disinfection function should
not be activated if the DHW support is
disabled.

8.15 Mixer settings
Settings of the mixer can be found in:
MENU -> MIXER 1 SETTINGS
The preset temperature of mixer cycle 1 can
be specified:
-manually, by setting the parameter
preset mixer temperature at the
required value, or
-in relation to weather, by enabling
weather control and choosing the
appropriate heating curve.
In order to enable the weather control,
weather sensor must be connected. After
connecting the sensor, set the parameter
Mixer out. temp. dep. to on.
The mixer heating cycle can include a room
thermostat, which lowers the preset
temperature by the given value, both with
manual and weather control.
After attaching an additional
module, the regulator can be
extended by 2 additional heating
cycles.
8.16 Weather control
Weather control can be enabled both for the
boiler cycle, and for the mixer cycle. After
selecting appropriate heating curve, the
preset temperature of boiler or mixer is
calculated automatically, depending on the
outdoor temperature. If the heating curve is
appropriate for the given building too, this
allows to maintain a constant temperature
inside, regardless of the temperature
outside. Therefore, it is crucial to select a
proper heating curve.
Guidelines for setting proper
heating curve:
- floor heating 0,2 -0,6
- radiator heating 1,0 - 1,6
- boiler 1,8 - 4
Drawing 15 heating curves:
Tips for selecting appropriate heating
curve:
- if the temperature inside rises while the
temperature outside drops, the selected
heating curve is too high,
- if the temperature inside drops while the
temperature outside drops as well, the
selected heating curve is too low.
Poorly insulated buildings require higher
heating curves. Whereas for well-insulated
buildings the heating curve will be lower.
The regulator can increase or decrease the
preset temperature calculated in the basis of
the heating curve if it goes beyond the
temperature range for the given cycle.
8.17 Description of setting night-time
decreases
In the regulator menu, you can set time
periods for: boiler, heating cycles, and
domestic hot water tank.
The time periods allow to lower the preset
temperature in the given time period, e.g. at
night, or when users leave the heated rooms,
e.g. when they go to work. This allows to
decrease the temperature automatically,
which increases thermal comfort and
decreases fuel consumption.
In order to activate the time periods, set the
parameter Night time temp. red. to on in:
MENU -> NIGHT TIME TEMP. RED.
The night-time decreases can be specified
separately for weekdays, Saturday and
Sunday.

Drawing 16 Time periods selection window
Choose the beginning and the end of the
given time period, as well as the decrease in
the preset temperature for the given period.
Three periods during 24 hours are available.
Legend:
1. First time period,
2. Second time period,
3. Third time period.
Below is an example of how to specify time
periods. The following example assumes
night-time decrease in the preset CH
temperature lasting from 22:00 till 06:00
(sleeping time), as well as another decrease
between 09:00 and 15:00 (when the
household members leave the heated rooms
–in order to go to work and to school).
Start defining the time periods from
00:00 (midnight).
Drawing 17 Example of defining time periods
In the example above, the regulator will
decrease the preset CH temperature by 3°C
between 00:00 and 06:00. Between 06:00
and 09:00, the regulator will keep the preset
boiler temperature unchanged. Between
09:00 and 15:00, the regulator will lower the
preset CH temperature by 5°C. Between
15:00 and 22:00, the regulator will keep the
preset CH temperature unchanged. Between
22:00 and 23:59, the regulator will lower the
preset boiler temperature by 3°C.
The time period is skipped if its
decrease value is 0, even if hours
are specified.
Decrease in the preset boiler
temperature on account of time
period is signalled by letter „S"
displayed in the main window.
Drawing 18 Signalling time periods
Decrease in the preset boiler
temperature on account of time
period is inactive during filling o
f the
DHW tank (when the DHW
pump is
active).
8.18 Information
The information menu allows to view
temperatures and to check which devices are
active at the time. Turn the TOUCH and PLAY
knob to change the information windows.
After connecting a mixer extension
module MX.01, two additional
windows with information about the
extra mixers are activated.
The sign „CAL” in the mixer
information window, next to the
valve opening extent symbol, means
active calibration.
Wait until the
mixer valve servo calibr
ation is
completed to see the current
percentage of its opening.
8.19 Disabling feeder
Some retort boilers are adapted for burning
other types of fuel, e.g. wood rejects, etc.
Burning thereof requires the feeder to be off.
You can disable the feeder via the regulator;
to do so, set the value of the feeder

parameter to off. The parameter can be
found in:
MENU -> FEEDER
After disabling the feeder, the regulator will
only control fan and pumps.
Disable the feeder only if the boiler
manufacturer provided for s
uch
solution.
Observe the boiler
manufacturer’s recommendations.
This option is not intended for
boilers with an additional grate,
where the air is regulated with a
draught regulator or manually by
the user.
Operation with active fan
when an additional
grate is present
can cause the boiler to overheat.
8.20 Manual control
The regulator provides a possibility of
manual activation of an executive device,
e.g. a pump, feeder motor, or blower.
Thanks to this functionality you can check
whether the given device is operative or
properly connected.

Caution: Enabling a fan, feeder, or
another device for a longer period
of time can cause danger.
8.21 Restoring user settings
In order to restore default user settings,
place the cursor on the „YES” option and
press the “TOUCH and PLAY” knob.
Drawing 20 Default service settings
Only the parameters available in the
main menu will be restored to their
default settings, the s
ervice
parameters will remain unaltered.
