Operation Time Log

The Operation Time Log consists of a string of ASCII records stored in non-volatile memory
within the C-More Control Panel. Events such as power-up, ignition and turn-off are time
stamped. Data logged while the unit is running are run-length encoded. Data is logged or the
run-length incremented every 30 seconds. For a new run record to be logged, the fire rate or
flame strength must change by more than 5%, or the run mode must change. At steady-state,
the run-length is allowed to reach a maximum of 30 minutes before the record is logged. This
means that no more than 30 minutes of data can be lost if the unit loses power. Table 9-2
shows a sample Operation Time Log for a boiler:
The Operation Time Log can only be accessed through the RS-232 interface using a laptop or
other terminal device. Ten operation time records are displayed for each T command entry. The
operation time log can be cleared ONLY by factory authorized personnel using the Clear Log
option in the Factory menu.
