Gas boiler setting

Heating residential premises in the winter is a task of paramount importance. Gas coppers deal best with it. This was the reason for their great popularity. It is important to know that an improperly configured boiler does not effectively cope with its task. The temperature in the room in this case will not be maintained at the proper level, which will negatively affect the comfort of living. In addition, fuel will be spent uneconomically. The automatic control systems that modern boilers are equipped with will help keep the temperature at the proper level. But first, they themselves need to be properly configured.

What you need to know to properly configure the gas boiler

The correct setting of gas heating equipment begins at the stage of purchase. You need to make sure that its power will be enough to heat the room. To be sure of a stable gas supply, in the case of interruptions, no adjustment will help. It is necessary to take into account the number of windows, doors, wall thickness. Correct tuning directly depends on these factors.

The thermostat, which comes complete with an electronic control boiler, will make setup easier. In this case, the electronics will do everything herself. When the temperature drops, the signal from the thermometer will start the burner or amplify its flame. Such a system will maintain the temperature at the most comfortable level, but sometimes it needs to be adjusted.

How to adjust the power of a gas boiler

If for some reason the room temperature has dropped below the required value, you can adjust the burner. By increasing the flame power, we will increase the power of the boiler.

In some models of heating equipment with an open combustion chamber, the burner valve is manually controlled. To do this, you need to disassemble the heating equipment, and gain access to the valve. It is better to entrust this to a specialist.

To adjust the power with an adjustable motor valve, you need:

  1. Hold down the Mode key.
  2. After the “0” appears on the screen, select the number “35” using the “+/-” keys.
  3. Confirm your selection by pressing Mode.
  4. Use the "+/-" keys to select "d.52" (min power adjustment), "d.53" (max power adjustment).
  5. Having selected the necessary item with the Mode key, adjust it by pressing "+/-".

Setting the temperature in the gas boiler

Manual control mode allows you to set the temperature of the water in the heating system. Automation will maintain this temperature by turning the boiler on or off. The user must independently select the necessary temperature for the desired degree of heating the room. But when the outside temperature changes, the internal parameters of the system will also change, and you have to adjust them again in one direction or another. To solve this problem, there is an automatic temperature control mode.

In automatic gas heating devices with temperature control there should be no problems. To do this, you need to set the desired temperature on the thermostat, and the automation will do everything by itself.

The problem with thermostats is that only one can be connected to the heating equipment. In this case, the temperature regime can be maintained in only one room.

Setting auto modes

Modern heating equipment for ease of operation is equipped with automatic control systems. It allows you to maintain optimal temperature without the need for additional control. High-quality operation of heating equipment depends on properly configured automation.

To keep the temperature regime as simple as possible, there are devices called programmers. They are supplied with the boiler or sold separately.

Setting the daily programmer

The daily programmer allows you to maintain a comfortable temperature in the room. This is done through software control of heating equipment. The daily programmer sends commands to the heating device to raise, lower or turn off the burner, according to the schedule. From the name it is clear that this device contains a set of boiler control commands during the day.

Setting up this device is very simple - just select the desired program from the available ones and the set temperature mode will be maintained in the room.

How to set automatic boiler operation for a week

The weekly programmer, in contrast to the daily programmer, contains a set of commands for the whole week. The main advantages of its use:

  • Automatic boiler operation. No need to worry about setting the burner. The device will do everything by itself.
  • Heating control for a week. It is very convenient. You can choose a program that will less heat the room on weekdays, more on weekends. This will save a lot of money.
  • The range is more than 30 meters. This is enough to control the temperature in most living rooms.

To configure this device, you need to select one of several available programs in its menu. It is also possible to create a program to fit your needs.

Which is better, configure the boiler yourself or call the master

Setting up the boiler is a difficult task, but quite feasible. In this matter, many factors must be understood and taken into account, the main one being safety. It is important to understand that this equipment runs on gas. When working with it, special care and caution are required.

When you just need to configure the programmer, it is not difficult to select the desired mode. And if there is a need to climb into the boiler device and disassemble it, it is better to use the services of a master.
