Number of cycles for each stage (Number of times stage has been in heat mode).

Kbtu rating of the boiler (0 to 5750Kbtu in 10Kbtu increments) The software revision level of the CCB, and FCB micro- controllers.

Current Error Screen:

Displays the last error that the system has detected plus a timestamp of when the error occurred. (The timestamp is based on the elapsed hours value at the time the error occurred. It is displayed in hours and minutes. This error remain displayed as long as it is still valid. When cleared it is moved to the Error History Screen. The system will automatically jump to this screen when an error is detected. It will also go to this screen upon power-up if an error was still valid when power was turned off.

NOTE: Errors are cleared from this screen by pressing the "select" key.

Error History Screen:

This screen displays a list of the last 9 errors (with timestamps) that have occurred. The last error to occur is displayed first. If a new error occurs this screen is presented to display the error.

Reload Defaults Screen:

From this screen the user can restore the factory default values for screen adjustable configurations by pressing the Select key. The values restored are as follows:

GW Models

Oper Setpnt (Operating Setpoint) - 145° F (63° C) Stage1 Diff (Operating Setpoint Differential) = 3° F (2° C) Stage2 Diff (Operating Setpoint Differential) = 6° F (3° C) Hi LImit (High LImit Setpoint) = 210° F (99° C)

Hi Limit Dif (High Limit Differential) = 20° F (11° C)

GB Models

Oper Setpnt (Operating Setpoint) = 190° F (88° C) Stage1 Diff (Operating Setpoint Differential) = 3° F (2° C) Stage2 Diff (Operating Setpoint Differential) = 6° F (3° C) Hi LImit (High LImit Setpoint) = 230° F (110° C)

Hi Limit Dif (High Limit Differential) = 20° F (11° C)

Tempert Units (Temperature Units) = F

Post Cir Secs (Post Circulation pump delay = 45 seconds Network Address (Network Address) = (non-valid address)

UIM Touch Switches

Below the LCD display are five touch switches or keys, that the operator uses to operate the system.

Menu Key:

Pressing this key activates the menu screen where the other screens can be accessed.

Select Key:

This key performs several functions. Screens can be selected from the menu screen by pressing this key when the">" appears next to the screen desired.

On the User Settings screen items that appear next to a ">" symbol can be selected with this key. If a setpoint configuration

item is selected, the ">" will then flash slowly to indicate that the item has been selected. The Up and Down keys are then used to change its value.

From the Current Error Screen this key is used to reset the system from an error:

Up and Down Keys:

These keys are used to move upwards and downwards in screens to reach a desired item and to change setpoints and user settings. They have an auto increment/decrement feature for some of the configurations and values. When you first press one of the keys and value changes by 1 count, then wait 1/2 second and changes slowly until the key is released or if held for 3 or more seconds it will change the value quickly.

Help Key:

Pressing the Help key from any screen displays helpful information about that screen. From the menu screen, general help information is displayed as to how to use the user interface. To return to the previous screen press the Help or Select keys, or press Menu key to go to the menu screen. If a small down arrow appears in the lower right hand corner then there is off screen content below what is displayed. Press the down arrow to scroll down to this information. After scrolling down an up arrow will appear in the upper right hand corner to indicate off screen content above what is displayed.

UIM LED’s

The three LED’s to the right of the LCD indicate the status of the overall system. The red LED indicates that a fault has been detected and the system has stopped running. It is on continuously for soft faults and flashes for hard faults. The Yellow LED indicates that the boiler is in a ready mode waiting for a call for heat command. When on continuously the Green LED indicates that the system is in the heating mode. If it is flashing it indicates that the UIB is in the initialization mode when the touch switches are being calibrated. On multiple stage boilers there are also eight LED’s on the lower right that indicate the state of the individual FCB’s. The red LED’s are only on when the main red LED is on and indicate which FCB has the error. The green LED indicates when flame is proved on that particular stage, unless the dipswitch for sensing flame is turned off. Then the LED indicates that the gas valve has turned on.

Fault Messages and Troubleshooting Guide

The EMC5000 system does extensive self-diagnostics and displays detected faults on the UIM display in an easy to read manner. There are approximately 80 different faults that can be detected. Some of the faults are caused by internal problems and some by external causes. The faults create different types of system lockouts (shut down). Hard lockouts are serious problems that require the user to manually restart system. Soft lockouts can be reset by the user or after 60 minutes the system will automatically clear the error and restart. Auto Reset lockouts will monitor the cause of the fault and if the fault clears itself the system reset itself. Faults with Immediate Reset lockouts are caused by faults that are momentary in nature. The fault is recorded and the system immediately resets itself. The following table shows the fault messages and some possible troubleshooting hints:
