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:

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 UIM is in the initialization mode and the touch switches are being calibrated.

The VF® boiler has a display on the UIM which is a scaled display indicating the current firing rate of the boiler (25% to 100%).

Fault Messages and Troubleshooting Guide

The EMC 5000 modulation system does excessive 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 the 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 it the fault clears itself the system resets itself. The following table shows the fault messages and some possible troubleshooting hints:
