Electronic pellet burner controller – NPBC-V3C-1/ NPBC-V4C-1/ NPBC-V4E-1

thermostat remains active long enough the burner decreases its power to minimum, then works
on Suspend power level  for as long as it is set in the  menu  

Factory  Settings → Power

Modulation

 and after that it turns off. When the room thermostat switches back to its normal

state, if the temperature of the water in the boiler meets the required conditions for P1 (or
higher power level), specified in the menu 

Factory Settings → Power Modulation

, the burner

starts again.

DHW Priority

 – the domestic hot water heater (DHW) has higher priority. The pump turns on

when all of the following conditions are implemented:

The temperature of the water in the boiler is higher than 35

o

C

The difference between the boiler's temperature and the water heater's temperature is
more than 5

o

C

The water heater's temperature is lower than 

WH set temp

The circulation pump turns off when the water heater's temperature is equal or higher than 

WH

set temp

. It turns on again when the water heater's temperature gets lower than the difference

between  

WH set temp

  and  

Hysteresis

. This work mode assures faster heating for the water

heater by turning off the central heating installation's pump when the water heater's pump is on.
If the central heating installation works with a room thermostat and if it activates, the CH pump
stops. If both installations don't need more heat, the burner switches to Suspend power level. If
any of the installations needs heating, the burner resumes its normal work and switches to the
required power level according to the boiler's temperature. When the time for Suspend power
level is up, the burner turns off, if no heating is required yet. It turns on again when any of the
installations needs to be heated and the conditions for P1 power level set in the menu 

Factory

Settings → Power Modulation

 are implemented.

For a normal heat exchange, the boiler's set temperature must be at least 5°C higher
than the water heater's set temperature!

If the central heating installation works without a room thermostat its pump works
continuously and unconditionally.

Parallel Pumps

 – both the central heating and the domestic hot water installations work. The

burner and the pumps work as in DHW priority. The only difference is that the central heating
circulation pump is allowed to work together with the DHW pump.

Summer  Mode

  – the boiler  works  only  to  heat up  the  water heater. The difference between

this  mode  and  DHW  Priority  is that the boiler turns on only if the water heater needs to be
heated. When the water heater reaches the set temperature (

WH set temp

) the boiler turns off.

This mode does not control the central heating installation.
