Thank you for your purchase of our equipment and congratulations on your good choice. Moderator Spółka z o. o. has been manufacturing boilers utilizing proprietary technological solutions developed in late 70’s in Hajnówka by engineer Kazimierz Kubacki. For almost thirty years these boilers have been undergoing multiple technological changes and upgrades.

conformity, CE sign). We also advise against any unauthorized changes in the boiler design. Failure to follow these recommendations may lead to serious threats and expose the operating personnel to health or life hazard. In case of doubt, please consult our sales department or authorized servicing agent.
serial number 7. User's statement: I hereby declare to have acknowledged myself with the Moderator boiler operating instructions and that the unit has been delivered according to the order, new, complete and in good technical condition. Also the specialized installation company have acknowledged me with the unit operation and have provided me with the complete set of documentation.
17-200 Hajnówka tel. +48 (0)85 682 75 20 hereby declare under our own and sole responsibility that the product: MODERATOR central-heating boiler, with serial numbers starting from 400, to which this declaration applies, meets the following requirements and standards, as applicable:...
This manual applies to boilers rated from 80 to 160 kW manufactured in the plate version. Moderator boilers (Fig. 1) are boilers operating in the top-burning system. Walls and grate are water cooled and are made of boiler-grade sheet metal...
bottom doors (ash pan doors) equipped with mechanical air supply throttle (used in case of a power outage). Boilers are equipped with directional air supply to the combustion chamber with automatic primary and secondary air distribution. On its way to the combustion chamber air is heated up.

Boiler installation shall be performed by an engineer with appropriate qualifications and experience (we recommend to seek help in our representative centres, whose installers have been trained at Moderator Sp. z o.o.). A faulty installation may cause premature wear of the boiler and threatens fire or may cause an explosion.
When installing the smoke breeching in the chimney, one shall pay attention to the chimney damper lever (it is necessary to provide a space needed for its easy opening and closing). Remember that combustion gases entering the chimney are hot, therefore the chimney damper lever will heat up.
2.6. Boiler connection to the electric installation Electric installation and connection principles 1. Before connecting the device, it is necessary to read operating instructions for the boiler and the regulator. 2. Before commencing with installation, repairs or maintenance and during all connection works, it is necessary to disconnect the power supply and make sure that terminals and electric cables are not live.
2.6.1 Boilers rated 80 to 160 kW Unica MAX boilers rated 80 to 160 kW in their standard equipment include an automatic combustion process control system. The control system comprises of elements shown on fig. 2 and on fig. 3. A B C A.

If the power supply cable is damaged, it shall be replaced with a cable of the same type, with the cross-section of at least 3x0.75mm Connecting central heating circulating pump This operation shall be performed by a person with necessary qualifications to perform electric installation works.
2.7. Installation protection 2.7.1. Open system Moderator boilers operating in open central heating systems must be connected according to requirements of the PN-91/B-02413 standard, so that excess heat in the form of steam shall be removed through an open connection (RP overflow pipe) to atmosphere.
Moderator boilers operating in closed systems must be equipped with air supply system (designed by Moderator Sp. z o.o. for Moderator boilers - we advise against installation of other air supply systems) a safety valve and additional thermal protection permitting safe discharge of excessive thermal power.
Page 19
Moderator boilers are manufactured according to the PN 303-5 standard, which permits boiler operation in closed systems if specific requirements are complied with. In case of versions suitable for automated operation (only and exclusively versions with burners), protective systems are sufficient.

Boiler installation without a reliable device to dissipate the excess thermal power is unacceptable.
2.7.3. Thermal protection dimensions in mm unless otherwise stated Applications: 5067 thermal protection is designed to protect solid fuel boilers in heating installations fitted with thermostatic valves conforming to the PN-EN303-5 Polish Standard. It is particularly recommended for boilers, which are not equipped with cooling exchanger. Figure 1 presents installation principle, at a close distance from the boiler, with special consideration for such guiding and sizing of pipes so that no pressure losses occur.
3. Burning 3.1. Controller - description, operation and maintenance Boiler automatic control unit utilizes a microprocessor-controlled PLUM ecoMAX 200 controller. Its task is to maintain the preset temperature in the heating circuit and temperature of hot water in hot household water reservoir. Regulation may be performed using any of the three available methods: ...
During "manual" brining (with the controller switched off and manual air supply control), under specific conditions the combustion gases temperature may reach levels, which are dangerous for combustion gases sensor, which could result in its damage. With the controller switched on, the air throttle 4 (see fig. 1) shall remain fully closed. Figure 9 describes elements of the control system.
instructions. When igniting, do not fill the whole combustion chamber (ensure: 50% filling for wood, not more than 20% filling for coal). 3.3. Burning During normal boiler operation monitor and periodically supplement the fuel. In order to maintain stable temperature of supply water, it is necessary to: ...
3.4. Boiler and Chimney Cleaning Grate cleaning is performed when water temperature starts to drop and when the ash pan illumination reduces. Ash shall be removed while the flame is reduced. In order to ensure fuel economy, keep internal chambers of the boiler and spaces between water tubes clean.
3.5. Planned shutdown of the boiler After the fuel burns out, open all doors and maximally open the damper in the smoke conduit. Remove ash, clean the boiler. Do not drain the circulating water. Cool down time is equal to the ignition time. 3.6.
Too low chimney height ventilation channel (at least 2m above the base of the Boiler smokes, brownish MODERATOR boiler, increase liquid present in the the chimney height to at least 2 m) Another device (a boiler or a Seal the place where the outlet...

(shut off the blower). If possible, open hot water taps in the home (e.g. in bathtub) and drain the hot water. Each Moderator boiler is equipped with a stub pipe intended for safety valve installation. It is absolutely necessary to install the valve, additionally the manufacturer recommends installation of a thermal protection,which would protect the boiler against excessive pressure rise.
6. Disposal Assuming correct operation, the boiler shall operate without problems for about 15 years. After that time its further operation may be economically unjustified. The boiler is made of materials, which are fully recyclable. Steel parts shall be scrapped. Electrical parts shall be provided for safe disposal to a specialized contractor.
