    MAIN ELECTRONIC CONTROL/IGNITION P.C.B. MAIN ELECTRONIC CONTROL/IGNITION The fundamental function of the Main electronic control/ignition P.C.B. p.c.b. is that of controlling the boiler in relation to the external needs (i.e. heating the dwelling or heating the water for d.h.w. 9.1 Function use) and operating in order to keep the temperature of the hy- draulic circuits constant.

    MAIN ELECTRONIC CONTROL/IGNITION P.C.B. Normally, the result of the comparison between these two signals directly operates the fan speed adjusting the useful output gen- erated in order to stabilize the temperature of the exiting water. If during the d.h.w. mode operation, the temperature of the pri- mary circuit goes over 90°C, the useful output is automatically reduced so that the primary circuit cannot reach excessive tem- peratures.
