IGNIS alfa v 1.20
TMK Wrzeœnia
Ignis alfa v1.20 is a microprocessor temperature regulator to control the central heating boiler with a solid fuel
feeding screw or the fine-coal boiler.
APPLICATION
The purpose of Ignis alfa v1.20 is automatic control of feeding screw, blower, central heating pump (CH pump) and
feeding pump for tap water container (TW container). Ignis alfa v1.20 can also control a fine-coal boiler with no
feeder. In this case the blower operation must be modified to increase the boiler protection.

OPERATION
The boiler is fired up in MANUALMODE. To start MANUALMODE press MENU and next use and .
When the feeder is started wait till coal is delivered to retort then stop the feeder and fire up the coal. The blower can
be used during this operation with its whole range of power.
If there is fire in the whole retort, you can change operation mode into automatic. For this purpose press MENU and
next -START. Operation status changes from STOP to FIRING UP.The blower is working with its maximum
power and the feeder delivers coal regularly.
o
When the BURNING OUT TEMPERATURE (35 C what is set by producer) is exceeded controller starts
HEATING.
If maximum and minimum power of the blower are different the quantity of delivered air and fuel decreases (feeder
operation time is automatically reduced) as the temperature is drawing near the value preset by user and increases as
the temperature is drawing away.
When the preset temperature is exceeded, the controller changes to HOLD mode. The feeder and blower begin
periodical operation to keep fire on. Whereas, there is possibility to stop blower as in case of using the sawdust as
solid fuel.
If the boiler temperature decreases, controller changes over to HEATING. If the boiler temperature drops below
the value of BURNING OUT TEMPERATURE controller changes to STOP status. However controller cannot
change to STOP, if the FIRING UP time has not been completed since pressing START, that is setting of 1 hour
- made by producer.
The controller operation can be stopped at any time by pressing -STOP. In STOP status the blower
and feeder are stopped.
The CH pump and TW feeding pump control is accordingly relative to the temperatures of boiler and TW container
in each operation mode.

modifications the controller will ask if those modifications are
to be entered to memory. If there is no reaction during 1 minute,
controller returns to MAIN DISPLAY and does not introduce
any new data.

MANUALMODE
Manual mode enables the blower and feeding screw start and stop at any time. Manual mode is very useful at the
firing up process if the feeding screw is empty.
Having the container filled with coal the feeding screw must be started and kept on till the coal appears in the retort.
Then the feeding screw must be stopped, the blower must be started and its required power set (percentage value on
the display) and next the coal in retort must be fired up.
MANUAL mode can be stopped by pushing MENU.

OPERATING SETTINGS
The majority of preset parameters can be found in OPERATING MENU.To enter the OPERATING MENU press MENU
on MAIN DISPLAY and hold it 2 approximately seconds.
A) Feeder operation time for HEAT - the boiler temperature below the setting
value.
B) Feeder operation break time for HEAT
C) Feeder and blower operation time for HOLD - boiler temperature above
the setting value. The blower operation time can be increased by the
blowing time multiplier (E)
D) Feeder and blower operation break time for HOLD
E) Information how many times the blower operation time
is longer than feeder operation time at HOLD. It informs about the time
necessary for blowing fire after the boiler operation break.
F) Time since the controller operation START during which
the boiler is not OFF in spite of temperature decrease below the value of
BURNING OUTTEMPERATURE .
G) CH pump start temperature
H) TW (tap water) feeding pump starting temperature
I) TW (tap water) container temperature decrease necessary to start the TW
pump.
J) TW(tap water) pump priority towards CH (central heating) pump
K) Blower maximum power.
The blower power upper limit.
L) Blower minimum power.

starts its operation to withdraw fire from feeder to the boiler. (To prevent
the flashback from the boiler to coal container).
P) CH pump alarm temperature to start CH pump in SUMMER mode. When
this temperature value is exceeded CH pump starts working to cool down
boiler. (To avoid boiling water in the boiler).
