Ensure that you understand the instructions in this manual and that you are sufficiently informed about the functioning of the biomass furnace system. HERZ is at your disposal at all times for any questions. For safety reasons the operator must not alter the system, the construction or its condition, without the agreement of the manufacturer or their authorised representative.
The chimney must therefore be dimensioned authorised staff or the HERZ factory customer and designed according to EN 13384. When service. resetting the installation it is obligatory to...
Fuels FUELS The HERZ – firestar is suitable for burning logs to operate central heating systems for closed hot water installations. Smaller split logs enable higher boiler performance than whole ones. We recommend triangular firewood with side lengths of 50cm and edge lengths of 8cm. Too coarse or...
Therefore, firstly put only one small heating circuit into operation and only switch the other heating circuits on when boiler reached operating temperature. The first start-up should only be carried out by HERZ factory customer service or persons authorised as such. Betriebsanleitung_firestar_18-40_Lambda_Englisch_V1.6...
Handling of the heating system monitored once a year by the manufacturing HANDLING OF THE company or another competent organisation. HEATING SYSTEM Note: Where there is a combined non-functioning of the “thermal flow protection” and heat exchanger, the Sealing the boiler set-up of the equipment is prohibited.
Boiler operation Please note always the safety notes! BOILER OPERATION Switch on the main switch [2] and regulator ( On/Off – button, page 18). The regulator Preparation for heating up displays status 1. If possible, store enough fuel for two or three combustion processes near the boiler room.
Boiler operation When the flue gas temperature is more than Energy absorption capacity / 120°C, close all doors By sufficient feed pressure a firebed (draft) is built up and the wood in the filling room is burning von The energy absorption capacity of the heating bottom to top.
The HERZ firestar special boiler is characterised by its long combustion duration. It does not have to be re-filled with fuel at frequent intervals. It is recommended that the filling shaft only be filled...

Fault-free operation Cleaning the flue pipe FAULT-FREE This should be cleaned at least once a month OPERATION using a chimney cleaning brush. To avoid fault-free operation, some basic points Note: Remove the flue temperature sensor before should be adhered to for installation, service and cleaning as it could be damaged.
Boiler status Ready BOILER STATUS maximal boiler temperature (BOILER MAX(P02)) has been reached due to too low heat Unit off capturing. Therefore the boiler has been switched In this condition the unit is switched off. off. The boiler starts up again if the boiler temperature falls 3°C below BOILER MAX(P02).
Boiler status Lambda calibration (password protected) By activating the parameter LAMBDA CALIBRATION (P20) in the parameter menu the calibration starts (only in condition UNIT OFF(1) activatable). The lambda sensor is calibrated at the factory. 8.9.1 Flue temperature control The flue temperature control begins if the HEAT UP FROM MIN(P06) is exceeded. The target temperature modulates between the set values FLUE NL(P04) and FLUE PL(P05).
