The validity of this statement is void if unauthorized changes are made without permission of VIMAR. Product: Thermal boiler VIGAS a VIGAS with AK4000 control Lambda Control Type:...
Gasifying boiler Vigas 1. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION VIGAS thermal boilers are designed for the combustion of dry wood materials, using sawdust to wood logs according to the dimensions of the gasification chamber, with a maximum diameter of 20 cm. Sawdust, woodchips, splinters and cuttings must be burned in conjunction with wood logs. Thermal boiler VIGAS 29 UD is designed to burn brown coal.
AK 4000 Control is an integral part of VIGAS boilers. The control is connected when the power lead is plugged into a 220/230V power supply. The visual display with basic image is active when the power lead is plugged-in (pic.4). Servo-flap used in VIGAS Lambda Control is set to basic position (pic.5).

Gasifying boiler VIGAS 4. BASIC CONFIGURATION OF VIGAS BOILER WITHOUT EXHAUST FAN The advantage of the exhaust gas thermometer is to control the maximum exhaust gas temperature, and when this is reached by the boiler, a fan will come into operation to lower the engine RPM. This results in higher boiler efficiency and lower fuel consumption.
By pressing the „ENTER“ button twice the boiler will start- up again. 5. VIGAS BOILER CONFIGURED WITH DISCHARGE FAN (without lambda sensor) The advantage of a discharge fan installation is increased comfort during boiler open burn and refuelling stages.
Gasifying boiler VIGAS 5.1.4 Add fuel, boiler shut-down (manual control) The graphic control is used for this operation. To activate display driver press middle „ENTER“ button. The graphic control offers option to: switch-off boiler, add fuel or cancel display driver.

Gasifying boiler Vigas 6.1.2 Boiler active – heating phase „On“ The servo-controlled flap will move to open position (servo 100%) when „ENTER“ button is pressed. Consequently, the following sequence 100% down to 45% will move the flap to retain the lambda sensor value of λ...
Gasifying boiler VIGAS 7. VIGAS BOILER CONFIGURED WITH THE Lambda Control DISCHARGE FAN: The VIGAS boiler operates with information about oxygen overflow in exhaust gas received from Lambda Control the lambda sensor which controls the flap of primary and secondary air. This system allows buring of all types of wood more efficiently and at the same time reduces fuel consumption by 20-25 %.
Gasifying boiler Vigas Choose one option Switch off Add fuel ⌧ Cancel display driver Change indicated figure ▲ By pressing „ “ the boiler fan will be switched-off and the discharge fan will be switched-on for 300 secs. The time is indicated in the upper left hand corner of the display.
Gasifying boiler VIGAS 9.1 MAXIMUM EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE SET UP Select maximum exhaust gas temperature, which will result in reducing fan speed. It is possible to set-up temperature between 130°C and 320°C. Temperature set-up depends on quality of fuel and chimney draught.
Gasifying boiler Vigas 9.8 DISPLAY INTENSITY SET-UP Choose display intensity value. Select value between 0 and 100. 9.9 DISPLAY CONTRAST SET-UP Choose display contrast value. Select value between 18 and 34. 9.10 SCROLLING MENU SET-UP By choosing „yes“ option on the display (pic.7) will show actual boiler values - for example: fan speed, boiler temperature, exhaust gas temperature, etc.
The control display unit of the boiler AK4000 is used to operate all types of VIGAS boilers. It is important that the symbol displayed is the same as the boiler type. When the boiler is in „OFF“ phase the visual display shows the type of boiler which is compliant with its nominal output.

Both pumps must be connected to power board AK4000. Contact T3 of power board AK4000S is used for connection of room thermostat (see 20/B2 and 16.4.) Schema 1 for (BS-3) shall be used with accumulator tank. To protect from low- temperature corosion, a three-way thermostatic valve ESBE is used (60°C).

Both pumps must be connected to power board AK4000. Contact T3 of power board AK4000S is used for connection of room thermostat (see 20/B2 and 16.4.) Recommendation: Connection without 3-way thermostatic valve does not secure sufficiently water temperature to 60°C. In order to expand the lifespan of boilers, it is recommended to use Scheme 0.

Gasifying boiler VIGAS Schema 8 with two separate heating circuits and accumulator tank. Option to choose floor or radiator heating or combination of both. Temperature of central heating can be regulated according to external temperature, room thermostat or by combination of both. Boiler protection against low-temperature corrosion provides 3-way thermostatic valve (60 °C).
Gasifying boiler Vigas 14. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 14.1 Before operation: Read and become fully familiar with the operating instructions, manual and the AK4000 electronic control. Check water pressure in central heating system (max. 3 bar). Connect electrical components ( example: pump, discharge fan, indoor thermostat, etc..) Check fireclay brick supports inside the combustion chamber (pic.3)
4. Wait a moment, open bottom door, take out drawer and close the door. ATTENTION: Do not leave ash-drawer inside the boiler VIGAS 29 UD during use. 15. BOILER MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS The contractor provides regular checks and boiler maintenance. During operation it is important to check water pressure, door seals, chimney flap tightness, exchanger cover and seal, flue cleanliness and fan performance.

Lambda Control automatically. This option provides optimum conditions for burning of all wood types. In VIGAS boilers without lambda sensor the mixture of primary and secondary air can be adjusted by screws „1“. Optimum adjustment of secondary air screws „1“ is 2,5 turns from factory set.
Step 6: It is possible to dismantle the vertical primary air lead but only if it is Side absolutely necessary. With boilers VIGAS 16, VIGAS 25 a VIGAS 40 primary air lead side primary air tube, also ( step 6/a, step 6/b).

30% of rated output. In view of the life of the boiler it is preferred that the boiler operates at least at 50% of rated output. If the boiler VIGAS is used with ACCU tank, 100% of rated output is used to achieve the desired boiler temperature. If there is current requirement for heating, 100% output of the boiler is divided into charging ACCU tank and heating.
