3 TECHNICAL DATA FOR S-CBX BOILERS 3.1 Functional introduction The S-CBX boilers are central heating boilers with a maximum high efficiency. Such a performance can be reached by, amongst other things, using a special heat exchanger made of stainless steel. This allows the flue gases to cool down below the condensation point, and so release extra heat.

12.6.1 F LAME DETECTION When the boiler is firing, and the flame is not detected anymore, the gas valve will be closed, and the control will perform a post-purge, after which a restart will take place. When the flame disappears three times within one heat demand, the control will lockout. The presence of a flame is measured through the flame rod that points into the flame.
12.7 Control functions Dependent on the required functions of the appliance and connected sensors and components, several operation modes for Central Heating (CH) and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) can be selected. 12.7.1 R ; CH 0 (D OOM THERMOSTAT ONLY MODE EFAULT SETTING For this mode the CH mode should be set to 0 and no outdoor sensor is needed.
12.7.2 CH THERMOSTAT; CH WITH AN OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE RESET AND MODE If the parameter CH_Mode is set to 1, the “Outdoor temperature reset with room thermostat” mode is selected. This mode will only function when an outdoor temperature sensor is connected. If the outdoor sensor is connected, the boiler automatically uses Reset_Curve_Boiler_Maximum.
Page 70
Setpoint adjustment It is possible to adjust the calculated setpoint with parameter CH_Setpoint_Diff. The calculated setpoint can be increased or decreased with a maximum of 10 ºC (18 °F). The CH setpoint limits (Reset_Curve_Boiler_Minimum and Reset_Curve_Boiler_Maximum) are respected while adjusting the setpoint. Apart from the calculated setpoint the functionality is the same as described in chapter 12.7.1.
12.7.3 CH RESET; CH WITH CONSTANT CIRCULATION SYSTEM OUTDOOR MODE When CH_Mode is set to 2, full weather compensator is chosen. For this mode an outdoor sensor has to be connected. The CH_Setpoint is calculated on the same way as described in chapter 12.7.2. However, the demand does not depend on the Room Thermostat input but on the outdoor temperature and the outdoor reset setpoint.
12.7.5 C ; CH ENTRAL EATING WITH ANALOGUE INPUT CONTROL OF SETPOINT MODE CH mode is set to 4. In this mode of operation, the boiler CH setpoint is controlled by an analogue input signal provided by a remote means such as a Building Management System or a system controller. The analogue input 0-10 VDC is used to adjust the boiler setpoint between the CH_Setpoint_Min and the CH_Setpoint_Max settings.
12.7.6 ; CH WITH ANALOGUE INPUT CONTROL OF POWER OUTPUT MODE In this mode of operation, the boiler power (boiler input) is controlled by an analogue input signal provided by a remote means such as a Building Management System or a system controller. The analogue input 0-10 VDC is used to adjust the boiler power output between the minimum boiler input and the maximum boiler input settings.

13 TEMPERATURE PROTECTION The difference between Flow temperature and Return Temperature is continuously monitored. A too big difference can indicate a defective pump or a clogged heat exchanger. To protect the boiler, the burner controller reduces the input when the temperature difference ΔT becomes too high: At maximum boiler input ΔT is limited to 35°C (63 °F) - (Hx_Diff_DeltaT_Min ) In between 35°C (63 °F) and 43 °C (77 °F) boiler input modulates between minimum and maximum.
14 ERROR INFORMATION. Errors can be divided in three groups: • Manual reset locking errors (can only be reset by the reset button). • Blocking errors (will disappear when error is gone) • Warnings (will disappear when the warning is gone, not stored in the controls e2prom) The boiler pump will continue to run during most locking and blocking error codes.

15 CASCADING 15.1 System setup The boiler controller can control multiple boilers in a cascade setup. A system sensor is necessary to measure the cascade system supply temperature. The sensor is connected to the boiler control. A pump output is also available to run the system pump, as well as an output for the DHW pump. When the CH supply temperature is calculated based on an outdoor sensor, only one outdoor sensor is needed.

17 COMMISSIONING THE BOILER 17.1 First: flushing the boiler with water After installation of the boiler the first step, before commissioning, is to flush the boiler and the whole heating installation with fresh water to remove pollution, debris and other materials that might cause a blocking. This must also be done with heating installations, where only the boiler is replaced.
17.4 Mounting Condensate Trap When mounting the bottom part of the condensate trap, before commissioning the boiler and/or after maintenance, it must ALWAYS be completely filled with water. This is a safety measure: the water in the condensate trap keeps the flue gases from leaking out of the heat exchanger via the condensate drain.
