6. Modes of operation 
 
The controller has a number of basic modes of operation: 
  STAND-BY, when there is no heat demand or error present; 
 HEAT DEMAND; 
  ERROR/FAULT conditions like over temperature conditions, sensor faults etc. 
 
The priority of operating modes is fixed as following: 
1. Error / Fault mode; 
3. Heat Demand; 
5. Stand-by mode (Idle). 
 
6.1 - Stand-by 
 
In STAND-BY mode igniter is off and gas valve is off. 
 
6.2 - Heat Demand 
 
When the high or low voltage Heat Demand input is closed, the boiler switch on if no error are present. 
The DHW demand is ended when the high or low voltage HD input will be open. 
 
6.3 - Protection and error conditions 
 
Several checks are included to protect the boiler and its environment. Double High Limit sensor is constantly monitored 
safety times are constantly compared etc. Any violation of (programmable) limits (and/or internal thermostat functions) will 
lead to an error/fault or warning condition. Severe error (igniter lockout) will cause a lockout condition which can only be 
cleared by the reset key on the controller itself, or via a closed contact on the reset input. In case of lockout and blocking 
conditions, Fan will not operate. Complete list of errors is given as following: 
 
Error codes can be divided in 2 groups: 
 
1.  Lockout condition codes;  
2.  Blocking condition codes.
