SIME FORMAT WALL HUNG BOILERS MODEL 34i AND MODEL 34e 3.0 OPERATION a) The boiler is controlled by a PCB located in the control box. A potentiometer on the PCB, together with a thermistor located on the heat exchanger outlet, controls the temperature of the circulating water, by modulating the gas pressure.

SIME FORMAT WALL HUNG BOILERS MODEL 34i AND MODEL 34e PCB Features a) POT.ACC. Bridge.( see Fig 9) This modifies the ignition pressure programme of the gas valve. With the bridge disconnecting, the ignition pressure varies in a linear manner from low to the maximum set heating pressure. With the bridge connected, the pressure varies in a linear manner from 50% to the maximum set heating pressure.
