Description of main screen keys: ▲ (SW1): Can be used to increase the central heating system temperature setpoint; the status bar shows " CH Set. ”, and both the temperature setpoint value and the icon will flash for 5 seconds. ▼...
Heating system water pressure reading The analogue hydrometer on the control panel has a bar dial from 0 to 6 bar. The current central heating system water pressure is indicated by the black needle. The optimum central heating system water pressure is between 1 and 1.5 bar. The pressure can exceed 1.5 bar, to a maximum of 2 bar (maximum expansion of the system during a temperature rise).
The status bar at the top shows the operating status of the boiler or, in case of fault, the fault code. The table below shows all the possible status bar messages: STATUS / DISPLAY DESCRIPTION No heat request received by the boiler STANDBY Anti-freeze active ANTI-FREEZE STATUS...
The rectangles on the left of the screen show the status of the triacs powering the central heating system heating elements (full rectangle for active triacs and empty rectangle for triacs that are not powered). The lines next to the rectangles show the power output on each triac: 1 power line 1/2 kW, 2 power lines 3/4 kW and 3 power lines 6 kW.
If "OFF" mode is selected, the display shows the following: If the boiler is connected to a WiFi network, the following icons appear: . The graduated bar indicates the quality of the WiFi signal (3 bars very good, 2 bars medium, 1 bar poor).

Under " Boiler version ", it is possible to view the version of the software loaded on the boiler control board. The last item, " Special functions ", is password protected and is used to activate the boiler demo mode. During demo mode, fictitious information is shown on the display so that, for example, it is possible to simulate running with triacs activated, without them actually being powered.
Page 21
In the " Brightness " option, it is possible to set the maximum intensity and also the minimum idle intensity, which activates when the display remains inactive for one minute. The parameters set in the " Setting Display " menu are stored in the memory and are preserved in case of power failure.
Page 22
Setting WiFi The WiFi menu can be used to manage the WiFi connectivity settings. In specific, it is possible to complete the network connection procedure, set the data transfer rate (Server rate), display the MAC address of the WiFi module and the IP address assigned by the network.

PING: the time required to transfer data from the boiler to the server and back. If the communication is good, the ping time (milliseconds) will be shown, otherwise in case of error there will be a fault notification. GMT: the Greenwich Mean Time. A signal greater than -40dB is excellent (4 notches), a signal between -55 and -40dB is good (3 notches), a signal between -70 and -55dB is discreet (2 notches), a signal between -85 and -70dB is poor (1 notch) and a signal less than -85dB is insufficient (0...

Then set the heat request, either " ON " or " OFF ", moving around the display using the ▲ ▼ (SW7) [►] and (SW6) [◄] keys to ■ select, followed by (SW5) [OK] to confirm, or ◄ (SW3) [ESC] to change the band start time. ■...
INTERNAL POWER RESERVE The display has an internal back-up power reserve that can counteract the absence of power for a few hours, so that the user will not have to reset the current time. However, the duration of the power reserve is variable depending on the humidity and the ambient temperature, as well as the age of the electronic components.
