9.2 Digital input  
 
9.2.1  Safety Loop X3–04, terminal 1 and 2 
 
Input for connection of the safety loop. When any of the series-connected contacts 
included in the loop opens, power supply to the fuel valves, the fan and the ignition 
equipment is instantly cut. 
 
The safety loop includes the following components: 
  External burner switch (ON/OFF) 
  Safety limiter/safety pressure limiter  
  External control thermostat and/or pressurestat, if required 
  Water shortage switch

For diagnostic purposes, the contacts of the components included in the safety loop are 
combined for delivering the safety loop signal. If there is no such signal, the system 
initiates safety shutdown in any event. 
 
If, with Load controller ON/OFF) there is no signal from the safety loop (start 
prevention), error code LOC 22 is translated to text display. 
 
9.2.2  Input for external controller (ON/OFF) X5–03, terminal 1 
 
When the external control loop is closed, the internal input message Heat request is 
generated. 
A heat request exists when the external controller signal is pending and, depending on 
the configuration, a load controller calls for heat 
When there are no more requests for heat, the burner shuts down. The fuel valves are 
closed, either immediately when the timer has elapsed, or when the low-fire position is 
reached, depending on the parameter settings 
 
 
Note 
Burner startup takes place only when this contact is closed.
