On the following pages we have provided specific information and important tips regarding system operation, unit functions and cleaning. Please pay close attention to these instructions. Familiarity with the material in this document will allow you to enjoy long-term operation of the unit. We wish you all the best with your Windhager boiler! 1.1 General information...
Important information for system operators 1.2 Safety precautions The boiler and related accessories are state of the art and meet all applicable safety regulations and operate using 230 V AC electrical current. Improper installation or repair can pose the danger of life-threatening electrical shock.
(e.g. pellet or oil-fired boiler) If the LogWIN and an automatic boiler (e.g. pellet or oil-fired boiler) are connected to one flue, the cladding, filling, lighting and ash doors and all cleaning openings of the LogWIN must be closed when the automatic boiler is operating in order for the cladding door switch to be released and the automatic boiler to operate correctly (inleaked air).
Operation 2.2 InfoWINplus The InfoWINplus is a central operating and display unit for boilers and for modules of the MESplus system control (see separate instructions). It consists of a large full text display, an ON/OFF button with an LED signal lamp indicating Operation (green) or Malfunction (red), a button for manual operation / flue cleaning function as well as four individual menu buttons.
Operation 2.3 Operating modes 2.3.1 OFF mode The boiler is switched off when in OFF mode. The display and all buttons, with the exception of the ON/OFF button, do not function. The LED on the InfoWINplus does not light up – Fig. 5. Fig.
Operation 2.3.3 Chimney sweep function The modulation mode or stratified charge operating phases are displayed here. This function aids the performance of legally-required emissions testing. chimney sweep function °C A short press of the Manual operation / chimney sweeper function button switches on the lighting and display. Pres- (Symbol flashes) sing the button again starts the chimney sweeper function (Operating phases)
Operation 2.4 Operating phases If the LogWIN is switched on, the following operating phases can be displayed. 2.4.1 Standby Boiler temperature °C The boiler is ready to heat up (see section 2.8). After an hour in standby mode, the display is shut down fully, only the green Standby LED is lit up.
Operation 2.4.7 Modulation mode Boiler temperature °C The boiler is in normal heating mode. The boiler output is controlled in a con- tinuously variable manner. Modulation mode Info Menu Fig. 18 2.4.8 Step-loading Boiler temperature °C If the stratified charge function is set, the system automatically changes to the „Step-loading“...

Operation 2.7 Check before first heating a) System pressure (heating water pressure): The system must be filled and vented. With the system cold, pressure should be at least 1.0 bar (maximum 1.8 bar). If you have any questions, your installer will gladly answer them. b) Ventilation: Please make sure the boiler room/installation room is well ventilated.
Operation 3.) Attach ash pan at height of lighting door (central door) in the hook-in plate intended – Fig. 51. 4.) Open the lighting door and vertical grate and evenly distribute the remaining ash in the filling chamber (Fig. 51). Check to see whether the holes in the lateral hook-in plates and burnthrough opening (Fig. 52) are clear.
The ignition phase begins when there is a heating request from the MESplus control or an external ignition request. With the „With off period“ and „Automatic“ types of ignition, the Cancel button can be used to cancel the „Ignition ready“ operating phase. 1 Only for LogWIN with automatic ignition (accessory).
