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.
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 used at
variance with its purpose.
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.
Electronic isolation of the connected
devices is applied in this regulator.
Keep the regulator out of reach of
children.

2General information
The regulator is a modern electronic device
designed to control automatic solid fuel fired
boilers with ignition. Flame detection occurs
with an optical flame brightness sensor.
The regulator can be used to control the
operation of an unregulated central heating
circuit, HUW circuit and regulated heating
circuits. Preset temperature of heating
circuits may be set on the basis of weather
sensor read-out. A possibility to work
together with room thermostats helps to
maintain comfortable temperature in heated
rooms. Moreover, if needed, the equipment
switches on gas -or oil fired reserve boiler.
The regulator may operate in connection with
additional control panel ecoSTER TOUCH
installed in rooms and internet module
ecoNET300.
Regulator is easy to operate in an intuitive
manner. It may be used in households and
other similar premises and in light industry
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.
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 removal
or sale of the device, the attached
documentation should be handed over to the
new user / owner.
5Applied symbols
In this manual the following graphic symbols
are used:
- useful information and tips,
- important information, failure to
observe these can cause damage of
property, threat for human and
household animal health and life.
Caution: the symbols indicate important
information, in order to make the manual
more lucid. Yet, this does not exempt the
user from the obligation to comply with
requirements which are not marked with a
graphic symbol.

8.2 Switching on and off the boiler
Make sure fuel is present in the tank and
tank hatch is closed. Now boiler may be
switched on. To start the boiler - press
BURNER OFF? at any place on the screen.
The message: „Active regulator?”appears.
Confirm the message. Boiler enters firing-up
stage.
There is also another method of boiler start-
up. Press MENU button and find and press
button in pie menu.
To stop the boiler - press MENU button, and
find and press button in pie menu.
8.3 Settings preset temperature
Preset boiler temperature or preset HUW
temperature, just like the preset mixer
circuit temperature, can be set in the menu:
Boiler settings →Boiler preset temp.
HUW settings →HUW preset temp.
Mixer 1-5 settings →Mixer preset temp.
The value set as Boiler preset temp. is
ignored by the regulator if the preset boiler
temperature is controlled by weather sensor.
Regardless of that, the preset boiler
temperature is automatically increased in
order to fill the hot utility water tank and
feed heating mixer cycles.
8.4 FIRING-UP
he 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 firing up the furnace fails, further attempts
are carried out during which the fuel dose
(feeding time) is reduced to 10% of the dose
in the first attempt.
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 INCANDESCENCE
After detecting the flame in firing-up phase
followed incandescence burner before giving
an additional portion of the fuel during the
specified Incandescence time and increase
airflow output. Parameter can be found in
menu:
Service settings → Burner settings →
Firing-up
8.6 OPERATION
The fan operates continuously. Fuel feeder is
activated cyclically. A cycle consists of feeder
operation time and duration of feeding
interval.
A - feeder interval, B –feeding cycle time.
Parameter Feeding cycle time in OPERATION
mode can be found in menu:
Service settings →Burner settings →
Operation
Feeder cycle time is calculated according to
the required current power of the burner,
capacity of tank and feeder efficiency.
Parameters blow-in output for different
power levels of the burner are available in
the menu:
Boiler settings →Output modulation

11
8.7 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 configure the value H1 and H2
that modulation will take place without the
intermediate power - transition from Max. to
Min. without Med. boiler output.
Operating in Fuzzy Logic 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.
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.
8.8 SUPERVISION
SUPERVISION mode is available for both
modes of regulation: with manual and
automatic settings (Fuzzy Logic). Regulator
automatically enters SUPERVISION mode
without any user's intervention, namely:
in case of Standard mode of regulation–
upon achievement of boiler preset
temperature,
in case of Fuzzy logic –once actual
temperature has exceeded the boiler
preset temperature by 5°C.
In the SUPERVISION mode, the regulator
supervises the fire in the furnace so that it
does not burn off. To achieve that, the
burner power is kept low which together with
correctly adjusted parameters prevents any
increase of the temperature. Burner power in
the SUPERVISION mode and other
SUPERVISION parameters can be found in:
Service Settings →Burner Settings →
Supervision
SUPERVISION parameters should be set in
accordance with the recommendations of the
boiler or burner manufacturer. They should
be such values so that the fire in the furnace
does not burn off during boiler standstills
(and it should not burn too intensely as the
boiler temperature may increase).
Parameters should be so selected
that the boiler temperature in this
mode gradually drops. Incorrect
settings may lead to boiler
overheating.
The maximum boiler operation time in the
SUPERVISION mode is defined by
Supervision time. If, after this time, the
boiler does not have to operate again after it
entered the SUPERVISION mode, the
regulator initiates boiler burn-off.

The controller exits the Supervision mode
without user intervention after exceeding the
preset boiler temperature of 10 ° C.
For the setting Supervision time = 0,
the regulator skips the SUPERVISION
mode and enters the BURNING-OFF
mode.
8.9 BURNING OFF
In the BURNING OFF mode, remains of the
pellet are burnt out and the boiler is
prepared for standstill or deactivation.
All parameters which influence the process of
putting out can be found in menu:
Service settings →Burner settings →
Burning off
The regulator stops fuel feeding and
performs periodical air flushes to burn fuel
residues. When the flame brightness
decreases or the maximum burning-off time
elapses, the regulator enters the STOP
mode.
8.10 CLEANING
The controller enables cleaning the burner
from the ashes generated in the combustion
process. For this purpose, the controller uses
a fan. The parameters affecting the cleaning
are on the menu:
Boiler settings
and
Service settings → Burner settings →
Cleaning
Cleaning the burner is mode during Firing-up
and Burning off. In the event that the boiler
stays for a long time in Operation mode or
SUPERVISION mode it is possible to start
cleaning the firebox with adjustable intensity
parameter Cleaning intensity.
Parameter Cleaning burner is set max.
burner running time without cleaning. This is
the time of the burner after which it will
automatically burning off and then cleaning
and re-ignite the burner.
8.11 STOP
In the STOP 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 (Buffer loading start
temperature).
8.12 GRATE
The controller has the function of grate
where fuel loading is done manually, fuel
feeder is switched off while the combustion
process is controlled by fan. Switching
between the work on the burner - where fuel
is “Pellet” and work on the grate - where fuel
is “Wood”, can be made in:
Boiler settings →Heat source
The values of parameters, such as: Boiler
preset temperature, Boiler hysteresis, Fuel
shortage detection time are individually set
for the grate mode. This allows to define
different properties of the boiler operation for
operation modes “grate”and “pellets”. The
parameters affecting the operation on the
grate are in:
Service settings →Burner settings →
Grate
The operation of the grate can be an alarm
"No fuel".
Switching from grate on burner can
it can be made by the ecoNET300
internet module, but only after
burning the entire fuel loaded
manually. To switch, user must to
turn off then turn on the regulator
by clicking on Operation mode in:
Current data.
8.13 Domestic how water settings
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 tank, 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.

13
set simultaneous operation of the CH and
HUW pump, using parameter No priority.
8.14 Setting HUW preset temperature
Preset HUW temperature is defined by
parameter:
HUW settings →HUW preset temp.
Below HUW preset temp. –HUW container
hysteresis starts HUW pump to load the HUW
container.
After setting a low hysteresis value,
HUW pump will run faster when
HUW temperature falls.
8.15 Enabling the SUMMER function
In order to activate the SUMMER function,
which enables to load the HUW container in
the summer, without the need for activating
the CH system and mixer cycles, set the
parameter SUMMER mode to Summer.
Summer/Winter →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 SUMMER
function can be activated automatically with
the Auto parameter including settings for
SUMMER mode act. temperature, SUMMER
mode deact. temperature.
8.16 Disinfection 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.
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.
8.17 HUW circulation
The settings can be found in:
HUW Settings → Circulation pumps night
time decrease
and
Service settings → CH and HUW settings
Setting of circulating pump control is
analogical to night decrease setting.
Circulating pump switches on in selected
time intervals. In disregarded time intervals
circulating pump will start and remain in
operation for the period of time set in
Circulating pump operation time , then will
stop and remain out of operation for the
period of time set in Circulating pump
standstill time.
8.18 Mixer circuits settings
Settings for the first mixer circuit can be
found in the 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 Mixer preset
temperature, 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 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
ecoSTER TOUCH
Set parameter Mixer weather control to On.
Select weather curve. Using parameter
Curve translation, set preset room
temperature following the formula:

14
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
Set parameter Mixer weather control to On.
Select weather curve.
The room panel 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. 8.19
it may be necessary to fine-tune the heating
curve translation.
In this setup, the 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 ecoSTER TOUCH) = 22°C. Temperature
measured in the room (by ecoSTER TOUCH)
= 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, 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!.
8.19 Weather controlled
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 →Mixer room therm. =
0.
If a room panel is connected, it is also
necessary to set the parameter Room
temperature factor = 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

15
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.
8.20 Description of night time decrease
settings
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. This feature enables
automatic reduction of preset temperature
without compromising the heat comfort and
reduces fuel consumption.
Decrease of preset temperature in selected
time intervals is indicated by the symbol:
on the main screen.
To activate time intervals, set the
parameter: Night time decrease for the given
heating circuit to ON.
The parameter Reduction value set the
temperature reduction, one for all time
intervals.
Night time decreases can be defined
separately for every day of the week set
Schedule.
Set the start and end of the time interval for
a reduction value in the range 1..24 hours.
Boiler night time decreases
The boiler operates in selected time
intervals. Outside of the selected intervals,
the boiler is burned off.
8.21 Fuel level setup
To operate the fuel level in the fuel tank
regulator uses the fuel level sensor. After
burning the fuel below the minimum level
(set in the sensor by the manufacturer of the
boiler) the regulator displayed in the screen:
"WARNING!!! Low fuel level" and will
continue to be fed fuel. If user not control
the feeding of fuel then regulator burning off
all the fuel in the tank and turn off the boiler.
Note: When there is no fuel level
sensor, fuel level service will take
place as described below.
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%
One must touch left or right main window on
the screen, in to open the fuel level window.
Operation of fuel level indicator
Any time upon filling fuel tank, press and
hold pressed current fuel level value.
Following prompt appears:
"Set fuel level at 100%” Once selected and
confirmed YES, fuel level is set at 100%.

16
Once selected and confirmed YES, fuel level
is set to 100%.
Note: 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% level of the fuel tank
and set 100% level as described above.
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 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 can be skipped if the Feeder
efficiency and Capacity of tank.
8.22 Feeder efficiency test
It is possible to carry out the Feeder
efficiency test and set the duration of this
test on Efficiency test time. With the data
obtained make it easier to set the
parameters associated with the feeding of
fuel. After efficiency test time, user should
weigh given fuel and set the parameter: Fuel
weight.
8.23 Operation with additional feeder
The regulator may be used with low tank fuel
level sensor. After the sensor is activated
(contacts open) the regulator activates the
additional tank for the External feeder
operation time to refill the main fuel tank.
This parameter can be found in: Service
settings →Burner settings
If the External feeder operation time is set to
“0”, the additional tank is switched off.
8.24 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.
8.25 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.
Access to manual control menu is
possible only when the boiler is
OFF.
Long-term operation of the fan, the
feeder or other working equipment
may lead to occurrence of
hazardous conditions.
8.26 Favourite menu
In the menu bar at the bottom of the screen
there is a button: . Upon
activation of this key, a quick selection menu
appears. To add new item to this menu -
hold respective icon pressed in pie menu for
a while.
To remove selected item from favourite
menu - hold corresponding icon pressed and
confirm REMOVE.

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.
