SECTION 1: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1.1 WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

Installers and operating personnel MUST, at all times, observe all safety regulations. The following warnings and cautions are general and must be given the same attention as specific precautions included in these instructions. In addition to all the requirements included in this AERCO Instruction Manual, the installation of units MUST conform with local building codes, or, in the absence of local codes, ANSI Z223.1 (National Fuel Gas Code Publication No. NFPA-54) for gas-fired boilers and ANSI/NFPASB for LP gas-fired boilers. Where applicable, the equipment shall be installed in accordance with the current Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment, CSA B149.1, and applicable Provincial regulations for the class; which should be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installations are made.

See section 1.4 for important information regarding installation of units within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

IMPORTANT!

This Instruction Manual is an integral part of the product and must be maintained in legible condition. It must be given to the user by the installer and kept in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING!

• Do not use matches, candles, flames, or other sources of ignition to check for gas leaks.

• Fluids under pressure may cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment when

released. Be sure to shut off all incoming and outgoing water shutoff valves. Carefully decrease all trapped pressures to zero before performing maintenance.

• Before attempting to perform any maintenance on the unit, shut off all gas and electrical

inputs to the unit.

• The exhaust vent pipe of the unit operates under a positive pressure and therefore must be

completely sealed to prevent leakage of combustion products into living spaces.

• Electrical voltages up to 120 VAC may be used in this equipment. Therefore the cover on

the unit’s power box (located behind the front panel door) must be installed at all times, except during maintenance and servicing.

• A three-pole switch must be installed on the electrical supply line of the unit. The switch

must be installed in an easily accessible position to quickly and safely disconnect electrical service. Do not affix switch to unit sheet metal enclosures.

CAUTION!

• Many soaps used for gas pipe leak testing are corrosive to metals. The piping must be

rinsed thoroughly with clean water after leak checks have been completed.

• DO NOT use this boiler if any part has been under wat er. Call a qualified service technician

to inspect and replace any part that has been under water.

2.3 CONTROL PANEL MENUS

The Control Panel incorporates an extensive menu structure which permits the operator to set up, and configure the unit. The menu structure consists of five major menu categories which are applicable to this manual. These categories are shown in Figure 2-2. Each of the menus shown, contain options which permit operating parameters to be viewed or changed. The menus are protected by password levels to prevent unauthorized use.

Prior to entering the correct password, the options contained in the Operation, Setup, Configuration and Tuning menu categories can be viewed. However, with the exception of Internal Setpoint Temperature (Configuration menu), none of the viewable menu options can be changed.

Once the valid level 1 password (159) is entered, the options listed in the Setup, Configuration and Tuning menus can be viewed and changed, if desired. The Combustion Cal menu is protected by the level 2 password (6817), which is used in initial startup (see Section 4: Initial Startup of the Benchmark 750 – 3000 I nstallation and Startup Guide, OMM-0115 (GF-200)), to perform combustion calibration prior to service use.

2.3.1 Menu Navigation and Processing Procedure

Accessing and initiating each menu and option is ac complished using the menu keys shown in Figure 2-1. Therefore, it is imperative that you be thoroughly familiar with the following basic steps before attempting to perform specific menu procedures:

1. The Control Panel will normally be in the Operating

current unit status. Pressing the ▲ or ▼ arrow key will display the other available data

items in the Operating menu.

2. Press the MENU key. The display will show the Setup

category shown in Figure 2-2. This menu contains the Password option which must be entered if other menu options will be changed.

3. Continue pressing the MENU key until the desired menu is displayed.

4. With the desired menu displayed, press the ▲ or ▼ arrow key. The first option

selected menu will be displayed.

Pressing the ▲ arrow key will display the available menu options in the Top-Down sequence. Pressing the ▼ arrow key will display the options in the Bottom-Up sequence.

The Com bustion Cal (Calibration) menu is protected by the level 2 password (6817) which must be entered to view or change the menu items shown in T able 2-6, 2-7 and 2-8. These menu items are used to vary the speed of the unit’s blower motor based on air temperature and air density at prescribed Air/Fuel Valve positions (% open). This is accomplished by providing a DC drive voltage to the motor, which then adjusts the rotational speed of the blower to maximize combustion efficiency and ensure the unit conforms to the Nitrogen Oxide (NO Monoxide (CO) emissions specified in the combustion calibration instructions in Section 4.4 of the Benchmark 750 – 3000 Installation and Startup Guide, OMM-0115 (GF-200).

The BST menu must be enabled in order to be displayed and accessed. The BST Menu item, located at the end of the Configuration menu (item 37 in Table 2-4), must be set to Enabled.

The BST menu contains all of the items required to configure, operate and monitor the functionality of the BST System. There are over 50 items in this menu, and selecting any particular item from the list, for inspection or modification, could be time consuming. As a result, the BST menu has been segmented into FIVE logical groups based on functionality.

The five Item groups are:

1. BST Monitor Items

2. *BST SETUP MENU*

3. *OPERATE MENU*

4. * TEMP CTRL MENU*

5. * BST COMM MENU*

These displayed item groups are displayed in UPPER CASE letters, and are bounded by an asterisk * in order to readily identify them within the item list.

The Items contained in group 1 (BST Monitor Items) are always displayed within the menu, as these items are critical for proper system operation. Therefore, the BST Monitor Items Header itself is not displayed.

The Items contained in groups 2-5 are not displayed unless that particular item g roup has been enabled from the C-More keypad.

BMK 750-3k Platinum Boiler OPERATION, SERVICE, and MAINTENANCE GUIDE

SECTION 3 – MODES OF OPERATION

SECTION 3: MODES OF OPERATION

3.1 INTRODUCTION

The boiler is capable of being operated in any one of six different modes. The following sections provide descriptions of each of these operating modes. Each boiler is shipped from the factory tested and configured for the ordered mode of operation. All temperature related parameters are at their factory default values, which work well in most applications. However, it may be necessary to change certain parameters to customize the unit to the system environment. After reading this section, parameters can be customized to suit the needs of the specific application. A complete listing and descriptions of the temperature related parameters are included in Appendix A, while factory defaults are listed in Sections 2.4 – 2.10, above.

3.2 INDOOR/OUTDOOR RESET MODE

This mode of operation is based on outside air temperatures. As the outside air temperature decreases, the supply header temperature will increase and vice versa. For this mode, it is necessary to install an outside air sensor as well as select a building reference temperature and a reset ratio.

3.2.1 Reset Ratio

Reset ratio is an adjustable number from 0.1 to 9.9. Once adjusted, the supply header temperature will increase by that number for each degree that the outside air temperature decreases. For instance, if a reset ratio of 1.6 is used, for each degree that outside air temperature decreases the supply header temperature will increase by 1.6 degrees.

3.2.2 Building Reference Temperature

This is a temperature from 40°F to 230°F (4.4°C to 110°C). Once sel e ct ed , it is t h e t em p er a t ur e that the system references to begin increasing its temperature. For instance, if a reset ratio of

1.6 is used, and we select a building reference temperature of 70°F (21.1°C), then at an outside temperature of 69°F (20.6°C), the supply header temperature will increase by 1.6° to 71.6°F (0.9°C to 22°C).

3.2.3 Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor Installation

The outdoor air temperature sensor must be mounted on the North side of the building in an area where the average outside air temperature is expected. The sensor must be shielded from the sun's direct rays, as well as direct impingement by the elements. If a cover or shield is used, it must allow free air circulation. The sensor may be mounted up to 200 feet (61m) fr om the unit. Sensor connections are made at the Input/Output (I/O) Box on the front of the boiler. Connections are made at the terminals labeled OUTDOOR AIR IN and AIR SENSOR COM inside the I/O Box. Use shielded 18 to 22 AWG wire for connections. A wiring diagram is provided on the cover of the I/O Box. Refer to Section 2.10: AC Electrical Power Wiring of th e Benchmark 750 – 3000 Installation and Startup Guide, OMM-0115 (GF-200) for additional information on wiring.

3.3 CONSTANT SETPOINT MODE

The CONSTANT SETPOINT mode is used when a fixed header temperature is desired. Common uses of this mode of operation include water source heat pump loops, and indirect heat exchangers for potable hot water systems or processes.

No external sensors are required to operate in this mode. While it is necessary to set the desired setpoint temperature, it is not necessary to change any other temperature-related functions. The unit is factory preset with settings that work well in most applications. Prior to changing any temperature-related parameters, other than the setpoint, it is sugg ested that an AERCO representative be contacted. See Appendix A for des criptions of temperature-related functions, and Sections 2.4 – 2.10 for their range of values and factory defaults.

SECTION 3 – MODES OF OPERATION

3.3.1 Setting the Setpoint

The setpoint temperature of the unit is adjustable from 40°F t o 240°F (4.4°C to 115.6°C). To set the unit for operation in the CONSTANT SETPOINT mode, you m ust set menu items Internal Setpt and Boiler Mode in the Configuration menu as follows:

Table 3-1: CONSTANT SETPOINT MODE SETTINGS

MENU OPTION SETTING

Internal Setpt Select desired setpoint using ▲ and ▼ arrow

Boiler Mode Constant Setpoint See Section 2.3: Control Panel Menus for detailed instructions on changing menu options.

3.4 REMOTE SETPOINT MODES

The unit’s setpoint can be remotely controlled by an Energy Management System (EMS) or Building Automation System (BAS). The Remote Setpoint can be driven by a current or voltage signal within the following ranges:

• 4-20 mA/1-5 VDC

• 0-20 mA/0-5 VDC

The factory default setting for t he REMOTE SETPOI NT mode is 4 - 20 mA/1 - 5 VDC. W it h this setting, a 4 to 20 mA/1 to 5 VDC signal, sent by an EMS or BAS, is used to change the unit's setpoint. The 4 mA/1V signal is equal to a 40°F (4.4°C) setpoint while a 20 mA /5V signal is equal to a 240°F (115.6°C) setpoint. When a 0 to 20 mA/0 to 5 VDC signal is used, 0 mA is equal to a 40°F (4.4°C) setpoint.

In addition to the current and voltage signals described above, the REMOTE SETPOINT mode can also driven by a RS-485 Modbus Network signal from an EMS or BAS.

The REMOTE SETPOINT modes of operation can be used to drive single as well as multiple units.

NOTE:

If a voltage, rather than current signal is used to control the remote setpoint, a DIP switch adjustment must be made on the PMC Board located in the Control Panel Assembly. Contact your local AERCO representative for details.

In order to enable the REMOTE SETPOINT mode, you must set menu items Boil er Mode and Remote Signal in the Configuration menu as follows:

Table 3-2: REMOTE SETPOINT MODE SETTINGS

MENU OPTION SETTING

Boiler Mode Remote Setpoint Remote Signal 4-20mA/1-5V, 0-20mA/0-5V, or Network

SECTION 3 – MODES OF OPERATION If the Network setting is selected for RS-485 Modbus operation, a valid Comm Address must be

entered in the Setup menu. Refer to Modbus Communication Manual GF-114 for additional information.

While it is possible to change the settings of temperature related functions, the unit is factory preset with settings that work well in most applications. It is suggested that an AERCO representative be contacted, prior to changing any temperature related function settings. See Appendix A for descriptions of t emperature-related functions, and Sections 2.4 – 2.10 for their range of options and factory defaults.

3.4.1 Remote Setpoint Field Wiring

The only wiring connections necessary for the REMOTE SETPOINT mode are connection of the remote signal leads from the source to the unit’s I/O Box. The I/O Box is located on the front panel of the boiler. For either a 4-20mA/0-5V or a 0-20mA/0-5V setting, the connections are made at the ANALOG IN terminals in the I/O Box. For a Network setting, the connections are made at the RS-485 COMM terminals in the I/O Box. The signal must be floating, (ungrounded) at the I/O Box and the wire used must be a two wire shielded pair from 18 to 22 AWG. Polarity must be observed. The source end of the shield must be connected at the source. When driving multiple units, each unit’s wiring must conform to the above.

3.4.2 Remote Setpoint Startup

Since this mode of operation is factory preset and the setpoint is being ext ernally controlled, no startup instructions are necessary. In this mode, the REMOTE LED will light when the external signal is present.

To operate the unit in the MANUAL mode, press the AUTO/MAN switch. T he REMOTE LED will go off and the MANUAL LED will light.

To change back to the REMOTE SETPOINT mode, simply press the AUTO/MAN swit ch. T he REMOTE LED will again light and the MANUAL LED will go off.

3.5 DIRECT DRIVE MODES

The unit’s air/fuel valve position (% open) can be changed by a remote signal which is typically sent from an Energy Management System (EMS) or from a Building Automation System (BAS). The Direct Drive mode can be driven by a current or voltage signal within the following ranges:

• 4-20 mA/1-5 VDC

• 0-20 mA/0-5 VDC

The fac tor y def ault set ting for t he DIRECT DRIVE mode is 4-2 0 mA /1-5 VDC. With this setting, a 4 to 20 mA signal, sent by an EMS or BAS is used to change the unit’s valve position from 0% to 100%. A 4 mA/1V signal is equal to a 0% valve position, while a 20 mA /5V signal is equal to a 100% valve position. When a 0-20 mA/0 -5 VDC signal is used, zero is equal to a 0% valve position.

In addition to the current and voltage signals described above, the DIRECT DRIVE mode can also driven by a RS-485 Modbus Network signal from an EMS or BAS.

When in a DIRECT DRIVE mode, the unit is a slave to the EMS or BAS and does not have a role in temperature control. DIRECT DRIVE can be used to drive single, or multiple units.

3.6 AERCO CONTROL SYSTEM (ACS)

NOTE:

ACS is for installations with 9 or more boilers. It utilizes only RS-485 signaling to the boiler. Installations with 1 to 8 boilers can use Boiler Sequencing Technology (BST), as described in Section 6 of the Benchmark 750 – 3000 Installation and Startup Guide, OMM-0115 (GF-200).

The ACS mode of operation is used in conjunction with an AERCO Control System. T he ACS mode is used when it is desired to operate multiple units in the most efficient manner possible. For this mode of operation, an ACS Header Sensor must be installed betw een 2 and 10 feet (0.61 and 3m) downstream of the LAST boiler in the boiler plant's supply water header. The ACS can control up to 40 boilers; Up to 32 via Modbus (RS-485) network communication. For ACS programming, operation, and Header Sensor installation details, see ACS Operations Guide, GF-131. For operation via an RS-485 Modbus network, refer to Modbus Communication Manual GF-114. To enable the ACS mode, you must set menu items Boiler Mode and Remote Signal in the Configuration menu as follows:

Table 3-4: ACS MODE SETTINGS

MENU OPTION SETTING

Boiler Mode Direct Drive

Refer to section 2.3: Control Panel Menus for instructions on changing menu options.

3.6.1 ACS External Field Wiring

Wiring connections for RS-485 Modbus control are made between the 485 A- and 485 B+ terminals on t he ACS (boilers 9 through 40) and the RS-485 COMM terminals in the I/O Box on the front of the boilers.

Wire the units using shielded twisted pair wire between 18 and 22 AWG. Observe the proper polarity for the ACS RS-485 COMM wiring connections. Shields should be terminated only at the ACS and the boiler end must be left floating. Each unit’s wiring must conform to the above.

3.6.2 ACS Setup and Startup

This mode of operation is factory preset and the ACS controls the f iring rate (air/fuel valve % open position). There are no setup instructions for each individual unit.

To operate the unit in MANUAL mode, press the AUTO/MAN switch. The REMOTE LE D will go off and the MANUAL LED will light

To change back to the ACS mode, simply press the AUTO/MAN switch. The REMOTE LED will again light and the MANUAL LED will go off.

BMK 750-3k Platinum Boiler OPERATION, SERVICE, and MAINTENANCE GUIDE

SECTION 3 – MODES OF OPERATION

3.7 COMBINATION CONTROL SYSTEM (CCS)

NOTE:

Only ACS can be utilized for the Combination Control System.

A Combination Control System (CCS) is one that uses multiple boilers to cover both spaceheating and domestic hot water needs. The theory behind this type of system is that the maximum space-heating load and the maximum domestic hot water load do not occur simultaneously. Therefore, boilers used for domestic hot water are capable of switching between constant setpoint and ACS control.

For a typical CCS, an adequate number of boilers are installed to cover the space-heating load on the design-day. However, one or more units are used for the domestic hot water load as well. These boilers are the combination units and are referred to as the combo boilers. The combo boilers heat water to a constant setpoint temperature. That water is then circulated through a heat exchanger in a domestic hot water storage tank.

Only the AERCO Control System (ACS) is necessary to configure this system if only a single valve is used to switch from space heating to domestic hot water. However, the ACS Relay Panel is r equired in combination with the ACS when there are up to two isolation valves, boiler interlocks, and/or a Domestic Hot Water (DHW) pump in a Combination heating plant where AERCO boilers are being used for both Building Heat and Domestic Hot Water heating.

The following two options are available for using a combination system; one that uses only the ACS, and one that requires the optional ACS Relay Box:

• OPTION 1 - T his option is selected when the ACS controls a boiler plant containing up to eight combination boilers that are Domestic Hot Water Priority (DHW PRIORITY) boilers, along with building heat (BLDG HEAT) boilers, and one hydronic isolation valve in the main header between the BLDG HEAT boilers and the DHW PRIORITY boilers.

• OPTION 2 – When t his option is selected, the ACS Relay Panel must be used in conjunction with the ACS. For this option, the ACS controls a boiler plant containing up to eight combination boilers that are divided up into Building Priority (BLDG PRIORITY) boilers and Domestic Hot Water Priority (DHW PRIORITY) boilers, along with building heat (BLDG HEAT) boilers, and using two hydronic isolation valves in the main header, one between the BLDG HEAT and BLDG PRIORITY boilers, and the other between the BLDG PRIORITY and the DHW PRIORITY boilers.

In Option 2, when the space-heating load is such that when all the space-heating boilers are at the 100% valve position, the ACS will then ask the ACS Relay Box f or the domestic boilers to become space-heating boilers. Provided the domestic hot water load is satisfied, the combo (hot water) boilers will then become space-heating boilers. If the domestic hot water load is not satisfied, the combo boiler(s) remain on the domestic hot water load. If the combo boilers switch over to space heating, but there is a call for domestic hot water, the ACS Relay Box switches the combo units back to the domestic load. The ACS in combination with the ACS Relay Box will ask the BLDG PRIORITY boilers to help with domestic hot water heating if the DHW PRIORITY boilers are not able to satisfy the domestic hot water demand.

When the combo units are satisfying the domestic load, they are in the CONST ANT SETPOINT mode of operation. When the combo units switch over to space heating, their mode of operation changes to follow the ACS command. For more information concerning the operation of the ACS, consult the ACS Operations Guide, GF-131. For more information on the ACS Relay Box, see section 2.14 in the same manual.

SECTION 3 – MODES OF OPERATION

3.7.1 Combination Control System Field Wiring

Wiring for this system is between the ACS, the ACS Relay Box, and the terminals in the I/O Box. Wire the units using a shielded twisted pair of 18 to 22 AWG wire. When wiring multiple units, each unit’s wiring must conform to the above.

3.7.2 Combination Control System Setup and Startup

Setup for the COMBINATION mode requires entries to be made in the Configuration menu for boiler mode, remote signal type and setpoint (see Section 2.6: Configuration Menu f or detai ls). The setpoint is adjustable from 40°F to 190°F (4.4°C to 87.8°C).

To enable the COMBINATION mode, you must set menu items Boiler M ode, Remote Signal and Internal Setpt in the Configuration menu as follows:

Table 3-5: COMBINATION MODE SETTINGS

MENU OPTION SETTING

Boiler Mode Combination Remote Signal Network Internal Setpt 40°F to 190°F (4.4°C to 87.8°C)

Refer to section 2.3: Control Panel Menus for instructions on changing menu options. While it is possible to change other temperature-related functions for COMBINATION mode,

these f unctions are preset to their factory default values. These default settings work well in most applications. It is suggested that AERCO be contacted prior to changing settings other than the unit’s setpoint. For a complete listing of temperature related function defaults, see Sections 2.4 – 2.10.

To set the unit to the MANUAL mode, press the AUTO/MAN switch. The MANUAL LED will light.

To set the unit back to the AUTO mode, press the AUTO/MAN switch. The MANUAL LED will go off and the REMOTE LED will light.

When the boiler is switched to ACS control, the ACS controls the valve position. There are no setup requirements to the boiler(s) in this mode.

SECTION 4 – AERTRIM OPERATION

SECTION 4: AERTRIM OPERATION

4.1 AERtrim INTRODUCTION

Advanced combustion control systems need to maintain precise air/fuel ratios to maximize efficiency. Gas and oil-fired boilers often deviate from the ideal air-fuel ratio due to environmental variations such as humidity, atmospheric pressure, filter dust loading, delivered gas energy content and other factors. If the boiler is operating with fixed blower/damper positions, the air/fuel ratio will normally vary within an acceptable level, but will not be fully optimized for efficiency and reliability.

The AERtrim system is designed to measure and maint ain an ideal air-fuel ratio in Benchmark boilers, thus maximizing efficiency and reliability while minimizing emissions. It does this by first measuring post combustion oxygen percentages inside the combustion chamber. This data is fed through the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) which is connected to the C-More Controller inside the boiler. If the oxygen readings are outside of preset or user def ined values, the blower voltage is changed in small increments until the readings fall within the ideal range.

A simplified representation of the system is shown in Figure 4-1.

4.2 AERtrim ACTIVATION

AERtrim is activated at the f actory prior to shipping all Benchmark Platinum boilers. However, if the C-More control box is changed for any reason, you must activate the AERtrim function by completing the procedures below. Note that the activation code for each unit is unique, and thus cannot be transferred to any other unit; if you have multiple units, you must take care to install the correct code on the correct unit.

4.3 OPERATION DETAILS

During operation, the AERtrim system will adjust the command voltage sent to the combustion air blower within a limited r ange. The amount of voltage trim depends on the error between the desired O low limits of blower voltage for each valve position. The total amount of corrective voltage trim is limited by the controller to insure safe and reliable operation of the system.

The AERtrim system has a rolling active/inactive operation based on 4 hours on / 10 hours off sequence. Since this is a trim function and not an active control function, the trim activity can make adjustments in the blower voltage calibration values on the 4/10 schedule to effectively control the air/fuel mixture without continuous operation of the sensor. This method achieves the objective for long term efficiency of boiler operation while maximizing t he sensor life in the boiler environment. The 14 hour cycle insures that the 4 hour on period will be active for any hour of the day every four days as shown below.

% reading is within the Target Range,

provided the BV adjustments are within the BV lim its for that unit at that fire rate. The control will then store this as the new BV calibration setting until changed manually or by another cycle of the AERtrim function.

NOTE:

When the O2 sensor is off during the 10 hour O2 Sensor OFF periods shown above, Modbus sends an Oxygen Level of 99 (rather than 0) to building automation system via ProtoNode.

Once th e system operational stability conditions are met, the AERtrim system will execute the following steps:

1. Lock the fire rate at the current position that needs adjustment to the air/fuel ratio.

2. The Demand LED will flash for at 1Hz to indicate that the trim function has started.

3. Check the oxygen levels inside the combustion chamber:

• If oxygen levels are within the set range, AERtrim releases control.

• If oxygen levels are outside the set range, AERtrim will adjust Blower Voltage to bring

the boiler back to the Target O

This process repeats until the target oxygen range is achieved or the unit reaches the allowable blower voltage limit.

SECTION 4 – AERTRIM OPERATION

4.4 AERtrim AUTO CALIBRATION

AERtrim includes an automatic sensor calibration feature, which helps maintain oxygen sensor readout accuracy. This feature is disabled by default but may be enabled during AERtrim activation. Calibration frequency and time adjustments are located in the Auto Cal Freq, and the Auto Cal Time setting in the O2 Trim menu (see Section 4.5 for details).

Auto Calibration occurs only when the unit is in STANDBY Mode. For example, if the time and day for an auto calibration passes, the controller will wait for the boiler to cycle off and go into standby mode before executing the sensor calibration function. If desired, a manual calibration can be initiated by the user, by enabling the AUTO CAL NOW menu item.

When sensor calibration occurs, the controller starts the O2 Cal Purge for 40 seconds (55 seconds on the BMK 6000) in order to remove residual combustion fumes. Once purged the controller reads the oxygen level of ambient air used for purging and calculates a calibration offset between -3 and +3. The offset is applied to correct the sensor reading to the expected air O

% level of 20.9%. If the calculated offset is more than ± 3%, “O2 Sensor OOR Maintenance

Required” will be displayed, and the trim function is disabled. (OOR is used throughout this manual for Out Of Range)

SECTION 4 – AERTRIM OPERATION

4.7 AERtrim MAINTENANCE and TROUBLESHOOTING

The AERtrim system, which maximizes blower efficiency, depends on the O2 sensor. The AERtrim system needs only minimal maintenance. It is recommended that you inspect the oxygen sensor for accuracy every 12 months by comparing it to a sensor reading from a properly calibrated flue analyzer. This is strongly advised because contaminated air or gas supplies may cause impurity buildup and shift the calibration point. An offset value of ±3% can be entered in the Trim menu to correct the reading during manual calibration. If the sensor has a large amount of offset, a replacement may be required soon.

Occasional software updates to the device may be required. See TID-0156 for sensor replacement instructions and the software update procedure.

TABLE A-4: TUNING MENU ITEM DESCRIPTIONS

See section 2-7 TUNING Menu for a range of choices and the default values.

MENU OPTIONS DESCRIPTION

Generates a fire rate based on the error that exists between the setpoint temperature and the actual outlet temperature.

Prop Band

Integral Gain

Derivative Time

If the actual error is less than the proportional band setting (1°F to 120°F, 0.55°C to 66°C), the fire rate will be less than 100%. If the error is equal to or greater than the proportional band setting, the fire rate will be 100%.

This sets the fraction of the output, due to setpoint error, to add or subtract from the output each minute to move towards the setpoint. Gain is adjustable from 0.00 to 1.00 (Default is 1.0).

This value (0.0 to 2.0 min.) responds to the rate of change of the setpoint error. This is the time that this action advances the output.

Warmup – The feature embodied in menu items 4, 5 and 6 eliminates Temperature Overshoots during the “Warmup” period of a cold ignition cycle on all boilers by temporarily modifying the PID Gain parameter during warmup and for a period defined in the Tuning menu.
