IGNIS gamma v 2.15

TMK Września

Ignis gamma v2.15 is a microprocessor temperature regulator to control the central heating boiler with a solid fuel
feeding screw. The Ignis gamma v2.15 controller with room sensor supports the preset room temperatures
according to established time programs.

APPLICATION

The purpose of Ignis gamma v2.15 is automatic control of feeding screw, blower, central heating pump (CH pump)
and feeding pump for tap water container (TW container).

OPERATION

The boiler is fired up in MANUAL MODE (f). To start MANUAL MODE press MENU and next use and .

When the feeder is started wait till coal is delivered to retort then stop the feeder and fire up the coal. The blower can
be used during this operation with its whole range of power.

If there is fire in the whole retort, you can change operation mode into automatic. For this purpose press MENU and
next - START. Operation status changes from STOP to FIRE UP. The blower is working with its maximum
power and the feeder delivers coal regularly.

When the BURNING OUT TEMPERATURE (M) is exceeded controller starts HEAT.

If maximum and minimum power of the blower are different the quantity of delivered air and fuel decreases (feeder
operation time is automatically reduced) as the temperature is drawing near the value preset by user and increases as
the temperature is drawing away.

When the preset temperature is exceeded, the controller changes to HOLD mode. The feeder and blower begin
periodical operation to keep fire on. Whereas, there is possibility to stop blower as in case of using the sawdust as
solid fuel.

If the boiler temperature decreases, controller changes over to HEAT. If the boiler temperature drops below the
value of BURNING OUT TEMPERATURE controller changes to STOP status. However controller cannot
change to STOP, if the FIRE UP (F) time has not been completed since pressing START, that is setting of 1 hour -
made by producer.

The controller operation can be stopped at any time by pressing - STOP. In STOP status the blower and feeder
are stopped.

ROOM TEMPERATURES ROOM TEMPERATURES parameter (a) see page 3.

Controller keeps up the room temperature in three daytimes accordingly;

day period, night period, economy period.

The operator can set different room temperature for each of these periods. If the preset room temperature
is exceeded the CH pump stops and controller changes to HOLD status.

Each day and hour can have any of those period set.

TAP WATER PUMP (TW PUMP) OPERATION

TW pump starts when the boiler reaches TW PUMP START (H) temperature and keeps working till the container
reaches WARM WATER (c) temperature. The following TW pump start occurs when the container temperature
decrease is equal to TW HYSTERESIS (I). The pump will not start again if the boiler temperature is not
at least 5°C higher than temperature of container (protection for the container against cooling due to over-cooled
boiler).

RESETTING

The flickery arrows ! @ $, # and ) inform which button must be used to operate MENU and make any
resetting.

Button enables the following returns to each previous displays till you are back on the MAIN DISPLAY.
If the operator makes any modifications the controller will ask if those modifications are to be entered to memory.
If there is no reaction during 1 minute, controller returns to MAIN DISPLAY and does not introduce any new data.

MANUAL MODE

Manual mode enables the blower and feeding screw start and stop at any time. Manual mode is very useful
at the firing up process if the feeding screw is empty.

Having the container filled with coal the feeding screw must be started and kept on till the coal appears in the retort.

Next the feeding screw must be stopped and the coal in retort partly fired up. Then the blower must be started
on and its power set accordingly ( percent figure is given on the display). If the coal in retort is completely fired up
the MANUAL mode must be stopped by pushing MENU and next - START.

B) Feeder operation break time for HEAT

C) Feeder and blower operation time for HOLD - boiler temperature above the

setting value. The blower operation time can be increased by the blowing
time multiplier (E)

D) Feeder and blower operation break time for HOLD

E) In f orma tion ho w m any tim e s the blo w er oper atio n t ime

necessary for blowing the fire after boiler operation break.

F) Time since t he controller operation START during which

the boiler is not OFF in spite of temperature decrease below the value
of BURNING OUT TEMPERATURE .

G) CH pump start temperature

H) TW (tap water) feeding pump starting temperature

I) TW (tap water) container temperature decrease necessary to start the TW

pump.

J) TW (tap water) feeding pump priority towards CH (central heating) pump
