Introduction Dear customer, Dear heating technician, plus The controller Lambda-Control 1 is the result of many years of research and resultant knowledge of Logotherm. It contains the latest innovations in combustion and system technology and offers the highest level of quality and perfection. plus Numerous of Lambda-Control 1 ´s automatic functions are unique new developments by our company.
Display and control elements Display 1: Shows the operation mode of the wood boiler – when lit “Boiler ON”. Display 2: Refuel signal. Displays when additional fuel can be added. Only in operation mode “Boiler OFF”. Display 3: Error indicator “red”...
AFO: Fire Optimisation Note: This basic function cannot be activated or deactivated manually. But, it is activated automatically with each combustion. When AFO is activated, will be displayed. Opening the door(s) (refuelling) in the operation mode “Boiler ON” is not advisable. Recommendation: Do not refuel unless the “Refuel”...
RSA: Rapid System Heating Note: Setup is as follows: “Accumulator” → “Settings” → 9.05 RSA ON <. Setting note: Low temperature heating 30°C to 40°C / Radiator heating or heating system with a hot water tank 45°C to 50°C. Factory setting: 50°C / Setting range: 0°C to 60°C. Setting 20°C: Can be advantageous, if the boiler output is significantly larger than the heating demand –...
At an “Acc. t.-F4” ≤ 30°C, the heating output = 0% (heating circuit valve closed) – HC-release = 0%. PAE spreads over a bandwidth of 20K and works with a deceleration value – in line with “Acc. t.-F4”. Example: PAE setting 50°C – current “Acc. t.-F4” = 40°C. If “Acc.
1.12 BSB: Basic Principles BSB requires the accumulator sensors F5 (1-4). These sensors are used to calculate the correct refuel amount. The displayed fuel amount is dependent on the boiler operating status (“Boiler ON/OFF”). Operating status “Boiler OFF”: In “Boiler OFF” the refuel amount is only displayed, if the for AFO required fuel amount can be added. The time of the display of the fuel amount depends on the “AFO runtime”...
smallest boiler output. The smallest boiler output depends on the boiler type, fuel properties and settings in 5.13 Flue gas min. Function: After AFO is completed, the boiler output is constantly adapted to: ● the fuel amount left in the boiler ●...
1.18 Integrated fuel types Different types of wood, i.e. birch, spruce, beech etc., have different densities, resulting in different heating values. The following values can be used as a guideline: D = Density in %; Hu = Heating value kWh/kg; w = Water content in % Type of Wood Hu kWh/kg Type of Wood...
1.19 Water content – moisture of the fuel Generally a wood boiler can burn wood in its natural form, if its water content (w) is lower than 20%. A high moisture content in fuel can lead to complications while burning and reduces the efficiency of heating and the dispensed amount of energy.
In numbers: Boilers with a rated output of 20 kW to 30 kW usually have a fuel chamber that can hold an energy amount of approx. 130 kW (spruce). Approx. 25kWh are needed to heat the boiler from 20°C to 85°C. In practice, only 70% of this amount of energy can be used, resulting in a loss per boiler filling of 7.5 kWh.
Commissioning Safety instructions for the system commissioning Follow these operating instructions closely as well as the operating instructions to your wood boiler. The aggregates and settings depend on your heating system. After commissioning only the displays and settings relevant to you will be displayed. Commissioning is subject to the following conditions: An accumulator is connected to the boiler, which minimum volume is in accordance to CEN Standards or reaches at least the minimum volume according to the boiler manufacturer.

System operation mode plus No effect without a Multi-Control 2 and an Extension module 1HC. The menu item “Sys. operation mode” is located in the “Selection” menu. Its submenus are described below. The selected operation mode applies for all heating circuits, each hot water circuit and also for the extension module (EW-1HC).
The whole system is regulated to the anti-freeze temperature (Logotherm controlled heating circuits to anti-freeze, hot water to standard anti-freeze). Either Anti-freeze, Holiday or reduced has to be chosen as setting while in operation mode “Boiler OFF” — this should be done before firing — this way the fuel amount is calculated without heating demand.
