The control shall be able to cascade and lead-lag with other NeoTherm controllers, for a total of eight NeoTherm heaters, without additional system
controllers.
The heaters shall be controlled to keep each one in the lowest ring rate possible, based on system demand, to maximize efciency. For example,
in multiple heater systems, the master control shall choose to bring on all heaters at low ring rates, instead of one heater at a high rate, to meet
the system needs.
The control shall easily allow the user to force the heater into minimum or maximum ring rate, for setup and diagnostic purposes, and shall have a
cleaning mode that allows the user to wipe the screen without activating any functions from the touchscreen.
A control that is chosen as master in a system with multiple controllers shall display an icon of each of the controls that it is controlling. The color
of the icon shall indicate if the control is in normal operation, in lockout, in standby mode, in a hold state, or if there is a communication error. In
addition to adjustable parameters, the master display shall also be able to show information about the following for each heater it is monitoring:
The control shall graphically depict the ring rate of each burner in system, if the controller is the master of other NeoTherm heaters in a multiple
heater system.
The control shall have the ability to accept a 4-20mA or 0-10VDC input connection from an external control or building automation system, to
modulate the ame.
The controller shall be able to send information through a modbus connection, including (but not limited to) inlet and outlet water temperatures,
stack temperature, DHW temperature, status of sensors, fan speed, setpoints, remote control input, burner status, lockout codes, alarm reasons,
domestic water pump status.
Control diagnostics shall include, at a minimum, the following: ignition failure, grounded ame rod, safety chain interrupt, heater high limit exceeded,
domestic water high limit exceeded, temperature rise limit exceeded, stack limit exceeded, pressure sensor fault, combustion pressure fault,
blocked air intake, sensor errors (open or shorted), 24VAC voltage low or high, modulation fault, pump fault, AC input phases reversed, and fan
speed proving rate failure.
The control shall have a clock with a battery backup and will allow the user to access the burner run time, and cycle counts for the burner and DHW pump.
The control shall differentiate between a lockout, a hold, or an alert. If an issue occurs, the system will display a brief description of the issue on the
control screen. The user shall be able to tap the display to be presented with a more detailed explanation of the issue.
