3 Warranty, guarantee, liability
3 Warranty, guarantee, liability
Warrantyclaims are valid as part of a boiler main-
tenance agreement.
3.1 Technical requirements for warranty
and guarantee claims
The following technical requirements must be obser-
ved as a precondition for a warranty and guarantee
claim.
Further information on the individual points can be
found in the boiler's installation manual.
Regular maintenance and cleaning
–The boiler and the heating system components
must be maintained and checked regularly.
–This is the prerequisite
–for permanently reliable functioning of the boi-
ler,
–for energy-saving and environmentally friendly
operation of the boiler,
–for a long boiler service life.
–Option/recommendation: Conclude maintenance
contract.
–Documentation is crucial: When maintenance is
performed by qualified personnel, the activities
carried out/measures taken are documented in
the maintenance log. It is advisable to keep a sys-
tem book, especially when foregoing main-
tenance by qualified personnel (for
documenting/as proof of one's own activities).
Fuel
–The fuel used must meet the specifications.
–Non-approved fuel may lead to inefficient
combustion and cause damage to the boiler.
Specifications for the heating system's fill-up/-
make-up water
–Check pH value: this must be in the range of
8.2 to 9.5
–Avoiding scale buildup (=limescale on heat
exchanger surfaces):
–Take the water hardness into account
–Soften the fill-up water, or better: desalinate it.
–Avoiding water-side corrosion (is triggered by the
oxygen in the water):
–Correct system planning, correct dimen-
sioning, take material combinations into
account.
–Repair leaks immediately.
–Expansion tank (prevents air suction when the
system cools down): Correctly set the pres-
sure, check it regularly.
–Existing underfloor heating: Take care with
old, diffusion-open plastic pipes (separate the
system).
Return temperature in the boiler
–A temperature below the dew point (leads to cor-
rosion in the boiler) must be prevented by a suf-
ficiently high return temperature in the boiler.
–In the case of the pellet elegance, this is ensured
by the return flow boosting which is integrated as
standard.
Supply air to the heating boiler
–The supply air in the boiler must not contain any
aggressive substances. These substances can
cause corrosion in the boiler and chimney.
–Aggressive substances are, for example, chlorine
or fluorine compounds (used in cleaning agents,
solvents, adhesives, etc.).
3.2 Conditions for claims
For warranty and guarantee claims observe the fol-
lowing points:
–The warranty begins at the time at the time of han-
dover (delivery note, commissioning log).
–The warranty period is calculated from the date of
initial commissioning (according to the control's
operating hour counter).
–The warranty periods are based on the relevant
regulations.
–We must be notified promptly and accurately of
any damage incurred, so that the cause can be
clarified.
–If the system has defects despite correct instal-
lation (in compliance with the technical docu-
mentation), we grant a warranty provided that the
system has been examined by the plant customer
service (commissioning log).
–The guarantee applies to technical, construction-
related faults and faults in the manufacture of the
system that prevent correct and problem-free
usage.
–We are not liable for parts that were not produced
by SOLARFOCUS. However, we are prepared to
transfer our existing claims against the producer
(relating to this defect) to the buyer.

4.8 Safety devices
Heat dissipation
–This function of the boiler control is a safety
device that prevents overheating of the boiler.
–Functioning: If the boiler temperature exceeds the
Heat dissipation maximum boiler temperature[1]
parameter, all pumps relating to the connected
devices (e.g. heating circuit, DHW tank, buffer
tank) will be switched on and the heating circuit
mixing valve opened. In this way, energy is drai-
ned from the boiler and it may be possible to pre-
vent other safety devices tripping.
–If the boiler temperature falls below the set Heat
dissipation maximum boiler temperature minus
1°C again, the pumps and mixing valves will be
operated in standard mode again.
[1] You can find the parameter in Service menu |System para-
meters button | General settings button.
6 Operation manual pelletelegance

3 Warranty, guarantee, liability
Overtemperature reset (OTR)
–The overtemperature reset is a safety device that
prevents overheating of the boiler.
–Functioning: The overtemperature reset stops the
heating process at a boiler temperature ~95°C
(exclusively electrical function; fuel and air supply
are interrupted).
–After tripping, the overtemperature reset must be
manually released again by unscrewing the black
sealing cap 1and pressing the button as soon as
the boiler temperature falls below 60°C.
–If the overtemperature reset trips, this is indicated
on the boiler control display.
Abb. 2-3: Position of the overtemperature reset
Thermal overload protection
iThermal overload protection is only required
for the pellet elegance 24.
–The thermal overload protection prevents an
uncontrolled increase in temperature and pres-
sure inside the boiler.
–Functioning: At a boiler temperature > 95°C, the
valve opens and directs cold water through the
safety heat exchanger (which is placed in the
water jacket of the boiler). This lowers the boiler
temperature.
Abb. 2-4:Schematic diagram
Safety valve (to protect against excess pres-
sure in the system)
–The safety valve 1is a safety device for protecting
against overpressure in the water circuit of the
heating system.
–Functioning: The valve opens when the system
pressure exceeds 3 bar. Water/steam are dischar-
ged into an open drain via a blow-off line, which
avoids consequential damage to the heating sys-
tem. The safety valve is closed during normal ope-
ration.
–For normative specification see EN 12828.
Abb. 2-5
Operation manual pelletelegance 7

3 Warranty, guarantee, liability
Emergency OFF switch
–The emergency OFF switch is a manually ope-
rated safety device. The burner and the fuel sup-
ply to the boiler are stopped. Circulation pumps
remain in operation to dissipate heat and cool the
boiler.
–The switch must be installed outside the boiler
room in a safe place that is easy to access.
4.9 Efficient and low-emission operation
Please note the following recommendations from the
EU Energy Efficiency Directive:
Use of a buffer tank
As the most complete combustion of wood pellets is
possible only when the boiler is in normal operation
and as greater losses and higher emissions occur
during the warm-up and burn-out phases, the use of a
buffer tank is recommended.
This tank stores the water heated by the boiler, allo-
wing the connected devices (heating circuit, DHW
tank, fresh water module, etc.) to access it as requi-
red. This ensures sufficiently long, uninterrupted com-
bustion periods for the boiler.
Use of high-efficiency heating pumps
When using external heating pumps (existing heating
circuit pumps, etc.), high-efficiency pumps with
energy efficiency class A should preferably be used.
This delivers savings potential of up to 80% in drive
energy (compared to conventional heating pumps)
with identical feed results.

4.11 Combustion principle
Fuel path
The pellets are sucked by the suction turbine 1into
the intermediate pellet store 2. The pellet auger 5and
rotary valve 4transport the pellets to the filling cham-
ber, where they fall onto the stainless steel com-
bustion grate 6. The pellets are burned using
downfiring combustion technology. The ash pro-
duced during combustion is transported by the ash
extraction auger 7to the ash container 8.
Airflow
The air required for combustion is sucked through the
primary air duct 3into the filling chamber, downwards
through the stainless steel combustion grate into the
combustion chamber, on through the heat exchan-
ger, and leaves the boiler via the ID fan into the flue
gas pipe.

5 Use and operation
iDomestic hot water heating in summer
If the boiler is used for heating domestic hot
water, then the required chimney draught of 5
Pa may not be present in the summer months
(or outside the heating period). This may
result in smoke escaping in the boiler room.
Reason: High temperature on the chimney
stack (greater than 30°C); as a result the coo-
ler air does not rise (~ 20°C air temperature
when the burner starts)in the chimney.
Remedy: Set the burner release time from
00:00 to 07:00 or from 21:00 to 23:59.
Burner release outside temperature 2
The burner may not start if the outside temperature
exceeds this value.
External boiler release 3
On switches the function to standby. I.e. a connected
external boiler may only start when it receives the
release from the SOLARFOCUS boiler (e.g. on the
basis of a lack of fuel, operating fault).
5.4.2 Vacuum output
Abb. 2-12: Vacuum output
Release 1
Within the release times, the pellet suction turbine
can start. A release time from 00:00 to 23:59 means
that no restriction is pending and suction can start at
any time.
Intermediate pellet store filling 2
Pressing the button starts the suction turbine and the
tank is filled once. (i.e. current level and release times
are not considered). Prerequisite: the boiler must
have the status Switched off or Standby.
Manual filling 4
Pressing the button deactivates the automatic

Probe switching 8
Automatic (recommended setting): After three suc-
cessful suction procedures at a head, the system swit-
ches to the next head. An even reduction of the fill
level in the pellet storage area is achieved.
Selectively: The heads are successively sucked
empty.
Only probe ….: Suction is only performed at the set
head. Switching to the next head must be performed
manually at the boiler control.
Storage area filled 9
–Pressing the button marks all suction heads 10
again as full (e.g. after filling the storage area).
Pressing the Status button changes the head sta-
tus (colour red: Head is empty; colour
green:Head is full).
–Red marking means: Head is sucked empty.
–Green marking means: Head is full.
–The arrow 11 above the heads shows the
currently used head. PositionCmeans that the pel-
let hose has been sucked empty (happens auto-
matically, lasts a few seconds).

5.4.6.1 Service menu
In the Service menu there are technical (factory pre-
defined) settings for an optimum combustion process
in the boiler. These can only be accessed by qualified
personnel (code input required).
5.4.6.2 IP VNC (for remote access)
The ecomanager-touch control allows access to the con-
trol screens from a PC or mobile device (e.g. smart-
phone). To do so, the VNC (Virtual Network
Computing) software is used. The control has an inte-
grated VNC server, while the VNC Viewer, which is
available free of charge on the Internet, is required for
remote access.
A cable connection is required on site for connecting
the control to the router. Use the Ethernet socket
(type RJ45) on the rear of the control panel (Touch
display).
iInstallation and configuration of this function
must be performed by the customer (i.e. not
included in the commissioning, service and
support activities).
The following points are helpful for setting up a PC/-
router to control the VNC server, which requires know-
ledge of networking technology.
IP configuration
►To access the IP-VNC icon, select the following
in the control
–Selection menu screen
–Customer menu screen
–Qualified personnel button
►Enter the data for your router. Recommended
process:
–Select DHCPON.
ÄThe IP address is determined.
–Select the DHCP OFF + Adopt button.
Abb. 2-19
–The IP address must be unique in each Ethernet
network and is dependent on the other network
components (PC, modem/router, etc.).
–Recommendation: Set a fixed IP address
(=DHCP OFF), i.e. the control has a constant IP
address.
Version 1: Install VNC viewer for access from a
local PC (PC in the home network)
►Download the free VNC Viewer from the Internet,
install it on the PC and start the application.
►Enter the previously defined IP address of the
control.
–As soon as the VNC Viewer is able to access
the control, a password must be entered.
–The password predefined by the manufacturer
is solarfocus
–After login, the screen view of the control can
be seen.

5 Use and operation
Change the VNC password
Abb. 2-20
►Press the Change VNC password button on the
IP setup view.
►To change it, first enter the old password, then
the new password, then press the Adopt button.
►The new password must be used to log on after
restarting the VNC Viewer on the local PC.
►Press the Reset password button to reset the
password to the default password solarfocus.
Version 2: VNC viewer for access from an exter-
nal PC (PC outside the home network)
–The user's local router does not always have the
same IP address on the Internet (it is allocated by
an Internet Service Provider – ISP).
–Nevertheless, Dynamic Domain Name Systems,
also referred to as DynDNS or DDNS, allows
access to the router.
–These systems allow a unique host name to be
assigned on the Internet; the unique name is then
also entered in the router. If the router is then assi-
gned a different address by the ISP, it enters the
updated IP address as the defined host name on
the DynDNS server. The router and therefore the
home network can then be reached using this
host name.
–To create a connection with the control, a port
diversion is required from the external port of the
router[1] to the IP address and to VNC port 5900
of the control.
[1] Port 5921 is recommended
iAvoid any port forwarding from external port
5900 of the router to IP address and VNC port
5900 of the control.
5.4.6.3 Sending emails
Function: The boiler control ecomanager-touch auto-
matically sends status emails and alarm e-mails (to
stored addresses) if required.
Status email: An automatic email (e.g. sent daily) pro-
vides information on the current boiler status.
Alarm email: a message is sent when a fault occurs.
iInstallation and configuration of this function
must be performed by the customer (i.e. not
included in the commissioning, service and
support activities).

Alarm subject: is used for all alarm emails and status
emails, therefore it should be as meaningful as pos-
sible (e.g. boiler type / name of system operator; 40
characters available).
Alarm groups: For prioritisation of the alarm mes-
sages (e.g. Alarm group 1 receives all messages,
Alarm group 2 receives only operationally-relevant
messages, such as information on faults).
Status email: Set the time at which the status email is
sent. The automatically generated content of the sta-
tus email is:
–Current status of the heating system
–Fault present, and which
Alarm selection: This is where you define which alarm
group is notified of which event.
