control box C
The control panel is divided into three areas:
Status displays, operating program sequence and service area.
status display
In the status displays, all lights should light up continuously in the operating state.
The polarity lights up continuously if the electrical supply is connected in the correct phase. If the polarity is not
correctly applied, operation is not negatively inuenced by the electrical connection. Nevertheless, service or
monitoring tasks cannot be carried out properly if the connection is incorrect.
The water level indicator lights up continuiously if there is sucient water in the boiler. If the operating indi-
cator does not light up, there is insucient water in the system! If the boiler is red without water, it will be
damaged. Check the water level, please. If there is suvvicient water in the system, contact SCHEER to be able to
bridge the water level switch using emergency operation.
pump control
The pump control inducates that the heating water circulates in the boiler via the heating curcuit pump and
the heat can be gradually transferred into the building after uniform heating of the boiler via the mixer.
operating program sequence
The display of the operating program sequence shows the user the step-by-step progress of operation.
burner requirement
First of all, the burner requirement shows that heat is required and the burner should now start. For this purpo-
se, som sequences are connectet upstream.
oil ventilation
The oil venting is activated for 60 seconds.
oil preheater
The oil preheater is then switched on. Depending on the temperature of the fuel oil, preheating can take die-
rent lenghths of time. In case of very cold fuel oil and the rst operation of the burner (after a long interruption)
this can take up to two minutes. Only then does burner operation start when the boiler is dired and the burner
operating light is acitvated.
boiler protection acitvated
With boiler protection acitvated, it is indicated that a permanent minimum heat level in the boiler return ow is
noch reached an thus recurring condensation does not occur in the boiler body.

service area
The service area displays are intended for service work.
Solenoid valve II in continuous operation
The display of the solenoid valve II shows that it is activated in continuous operation. Activation is the user‘s
own responsibility and requires the separation of the corresponding lead seal and switch assignment after
consultation with SCHEER.
oil ventilation
If the burner is operated without oil venting, this can be bridged for servicing. This is the user‘s own responsibi-
lity and requires the separation of the corresponding lead seal and switch assignment after consultation with
SCHEER.
Emergency operation bridging water level monitor
As an emergency operation, it is entended that the machine can also be operated if the water level monitor is
defective and there is sucient water in the boiler. Only in this case is it possible to bridge the water level moni-
tor until it is repaired. This is the user‘s own responsibility and requires the separation of the corresponding lead
and switching of the switch after consultation with SCHEER.
Emergency operation without controller
Emergency operation without controller can be carried out at the user‘s own responsibility and requires discon-
nection of the corresponding lead seal and switching of the switch after consultation with SCHEER.

programming boiler controller C
Programming
Settings that cannot be made directly with the operating ele-
ments require programming. For this purpose, the individual
settings are structured in the form of operating pages
and operating lines, thus forming functional groups of settings.
The following example shows how to set the time of day and the
date.
Example: “Setting the time of day“
- Press ESC to go one step back at a time, adjusted values on
the previous page are not memorized.
- If no setting is made for 8 minutes, the display returns to
the default display.
- Depending on the type of controller, some operating lines
may be hidden.
display pages
Heating curve slope
As the heating curve slope is raised, the ow temperature
increases the quicker the lower the outside temperature or,
in other words, if the room temperature is not correct at low
outside temperatures but correct at higher outside tempera-
tures, the heating curve slope requires readjustment.
Increase adjustment: Raises the ow temperature,
especially when outside
temperatures are low.
Decrease adjustment: Lowers the ow temperature,
especially when outside
temperatures are low.
The programmed heating curve is based on a room set point
of 20 °C. If the room set point is adjusted, the heating curve
automatically adapts to the new value.
