Electrostatic discharge precautions When the controller is removed from its sleeve, some of the exposed electronic components are vulnerable to damage by electrostatic discharge from someone handling the controller. To avoid this, before handling the unplugged controller discharge yourself to ground.

Cleaning Do not use water or water based products to clean labels or they will become illegible. Isopropyl alcohol may be used to clean labels. A mild soap solution may be used to clean other exterior surfaces of the product.

INSTALLATION SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Safety Symbols Various symbols are used on the instrument, they have the following meaning:

Caution, (refer to the accompanying documents)

Functional earth (ground) terminal!

The functional earth connection is not required for safety purposes but is used to ground RFI filters. ☺☺☺☺ Helpful hints or information

Personnel Installation must only be carried out by qualified personnel.

Enclosure of live parts To prevent hands or metal tools touching parts that may be electrically live, the controller must be installed in an enclosure.

Wiring It is important to connect the controller in accordance with the wiring data given in this handbook. Take particular care not to connect AC supplies to the low voltage sensor input or other low level inputs and outputs. Only use copper conductors for connections, (except thermocouple). Ensure that the wiring of installations comply with all local wiring regulations. For example in the in the UK, use the latest version of the IEE wiring regulations, (BS7671). In the USA, use NEC Class 1 wiring methods.

Power Isolation The installation must include a power isolating switch or circuit breaker that disconnects all current carrying conductors. The device should be mounted in close proximity to the controller, within easy reach of the operator and marked as the disconnecting device for the instrument.

Part No HA028177 IM-P402-122 AB Issue 3.0 Mar-04 1-5

Earth leakage current Due to RFI Filtering there is an earth leakage current of less than 0.5mA. This may affect the design of an installation of multiple controllers protected by Residual Current Device, (RCD) or Ground Fault Detector, (GFD) type circuit breakers.

Overcurrent protection To protect the internal PCB tracking within the controller against excess currents, the AC power supply to the controller and power outputs must be wired through the fuse or circuit breaker specified in the technical specification.

Voltage rating The maximum continuous voltage applied between any connection to ground must not exceed 264Vac. The controller should not be wired to a three phase supply with an unearthed star connection. Under fault conditions such a supply could rise above 264Vac with respect to ground and the product would not be safe. Voltage transients across the power supply connections, and between the power supply and ground, must not exceed 2.5kV. Where occasional voltage transients over 2.5kV are expected or measured, the power installation to both the instrument supply and load circuits should include a transient limiting device. These units will typically include gas discharge tubes and metal oxide varistors that limit and control voltage transients on the supply line due to lightning strikes or inductive load switching. Devices are available in a range of energy ratings and should be selected to suit conditions at the installation. Conductive pollution Electrically conductive pollution must be excluded from the cabinet in which the controller is mounted. For example, carbon dust is a form of electrically conductive pollution. To secure a suitable atmosphere, install an air filter to the air intake of the cabinet. Where condensation is likely, for example at low temperatures, include a thermostatically controlled heater in the cabinet. Arch

1.1 Installation Requirements for EMC To ensure compliance with the European EMC directive certain installation precautions are necessary as follows: • When using relay outputs it may be necessary to fit a filter suitable for suppressing the

conducted emissions. The filter requirements will depend on the type of load. For typical applications we recommend Schaffner FN321 or FN612.

• If the unit is used in table top equipment which is plugged into a standard power socket, then it is likely that compliance to the commercial and light industrial emissions standard is required. In this case to meet the conducted emissions requirement, a suitable mains filter should be installed. We recommend Schaffner types FN321 and FN612.

Routing of wires To minimise the pick-up of electrical noise, the low voltage DC connections and the sensor input wiring should be routed away from high-current power cables. Where it is impractical to do this, use shielded cables with the shield grounded at both ends. In general keep cable lengths to a minimum.

2. INTRODUCTION The IBC2700 Boiler Controller is a panel mounted instrument used to:- 1. To control the level of the liquid in the boiler and provide alarms if the upper or lower

levels are exceeded. 2. Monitor the conductivity of liquids and to control TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) levels

in a boiler system. 3. To provide a boiler blowdown sequence using a valve or condensate dump valve. 4. Control steam mains warm up The front panel has a multi-line electro-luminescent display showing the process conditions found in boiler systems. Push-buttons allow different displays to be shown and to select, view and change parameters or settings. A Pt100 temperature sensor may be connected to the controller to provide temperature compensation for TDS measurement. This is recommended if the boiler is working at varying pressures, or for other applications such as condensate monitoring or coil boilers, where the temperature may vary. If a temperature probe is not fitted the controller defaults to a temperature of 184oC at a pressure of 10Bar. This value is adjustable by the user. ☺☺☺☺ When this symbol appears in this handbook it indicates a useful tip or short cut.

3.3 Panel Mounting the Controller

1. Prepare the panel cut-out to the size shown in Figure 3-2. Ensure that there is sufficient spacing between instruments as shown by the minimum dimensions given in Figure 3-2. Ensure also that the controller is not mounted close to any device which is likely to produce a significant amount of heat which may affect the performance of the controller.

2. Insert the controller through the panel cut-out.

3. Spring the upper and lower panel retaining clips into place. Secure the controller in position by holding it level and pushing both retaining clips forward.

Note:- If the retaining clips subsequently need removing, in order to extract the controller from the control panel, they can be unhooked from the side with either your fingers or a screwdriver.

Figure 3-2: Panel Cut-out and Minimum Spacing Requirements

3.4 Unplugging and Plugging in the Controller If required, the controller can be unplugged from its sleeve by easing the latching ears outwards and pulling the controller forward out of the sleeve. When plugging the controller back into its sleeve, ensure that the latching ears click into place. It is recommended that the power to the controller is switched off when un-plugging or plugging the controller into its sleeve. This is to prevent premature wear on the controller connectors when current is flowing through them.

4.5 Level Probe Wiring The IBC2700 controller can accept a signal from a level probe or transmitter with voltage (0 - 6Vdc) interface. In some installations a PA20 pre-amplifier may be used with the level probe. A separate Installation and Maintenance Manual is available for this. Note: The probe must be long enough to sense over the complete level range. The controller compares the signal it receives from the level probe with a setpoint selected by the user. It then changes its output signal to control the level in the boiler.

Figure 4-3: Level Probe Input

4.5.1 Probe Screen Connections An earth current loop is created if a wire or screen is connected between two earth points which are different potential (voltage). The probe screen should only be connected to ground at one end. • For level, the pre-amplifier and controller screen should only be connected to the earth

at one end, i.e. at the PA20 earth terminal. The PA20 earth terminal is a functional earth rather than protective earth. • A protective earth provides protection from electric shock under a single fault condition.

This product has double insulation and, therefore, does not require a protective earth. • A functional earth is used in order for the product to operate. In this application, the

earth, (tank/boiler shell) is used as the common of the probe/pre-amplifier. It also provides a sink/drain for any electrical interference.

• Ensure that the screen of the level probe is not connected to terminal BC of the controller and to the earth terminal of the PA20.

4.6 TDS Probe Wiring The maximum cable length for the probes is 100m (328ft). All cables must be of the same gauge.

4.6.1 Probe in Boiler – CP32 The probe requires 8 way screened cable. Caution: Do not connect any wires to the 5-way terminal block as it houses the very fine wiring from the probe which could easily become damaged in attempting to connect additional wires. * For the TDS probe cleaning, it is important that all the connections shown in the wiring diagram are made. Please note the requirement of a Zener dioide across terminals 3A and 3B. This Zener Diode is included in the IBC2700 box taped to the retaining clips.'

Figure 4-6: CP32 TDS Probe Wiring

4.6.2 TDS Probe Screen Connections Ensure that the screen is connected to the earth terminal of the TDS probe. An earth current loop is created if a wire or screen is connected between two earth points which are different potential (voltage). The probe screen should only be connected to ground at one end. • A protective earth provides protection from electric shock under a single fault condition.

10. BLOWDOWN The IBC2700 has the capability to perform Boiler Blowdown. Although using a continuous TDS controller removes the total dissolved solids, there is still a need to blow down the sediment that forms at the bottom of the boiler. To minimise energy loss, blowdown is restricted to a short (~3sec) burst probably twice a day at a time which can be selected by the operator. The blowdown (water) normally passes to a blowdown vessel, sized to cope with dissipating the energy from a single boiler. The IBC2700 controller uses the digital inputs to provide an interlock with up to eight boilers. This with the associated built in logic inhibits more than one boiler from blowing down at the same time.

10.1 BLOWDOWN Setup This list sets up three time periods for blowdown.

3. Press to select the list of parameters

4. Press again to edit the parameter

5. Press or to set the day

If required set up a Day and Time for a second and third blowdown. This allows up to three blowdowns on each boiler to be performed each day

6. Press to select the ‘Duration’ of the blowdown

7. Press or to set the duration time

8. Press to select the ‘Inst Number’

9. Press or to set an instrument number from 1 to 8

This is necessary so that the interconnection network knows which instrument has priority

Note 1

Note 1:- If more than one boiler attempts a blowdown at the same time, then the ‘Inst Number’ parameter determines which has priority. 8 has the highest priority.

☺☺☺☺: Times may be set by holding the raise or lower buttons until the correct time has been set. Alternatively, hold down the scroll button and use the raise/lower buttons / to move the cursor between hours and minutes then use / to change these independently.

10.1.2 Blowdown Sequence When the blowdown time is reached the following sequence takes place:- This sequence is displayed on the TDS overview screen (section 5.2.3)

a. ‘Bldown State’ will change from ‘BB Wait’ to ‘Check Network’ for only a few seconds. At this point the controller switches the network between high and low states. This is to determine if any other controller is blowing down at the same time

b. Assuming no other controller is blowing down, the network is pulled to a low condition to lock out any other controller at this time. ‘Pre BB Wait’ is shown for 15 minutes (half of ‘Cool Duration’).

c. After ‘Pre BB Wait’ the blowdown output will come on for a few seconds (set by the ‘BB Duration’ parameter) and the ‘Bldown State’ will show ‘Blowing Down’.

d. The ‘Bldown State’ will then show ‘Cooling Down’ for 15 minutes (the other half of cool time)

e. After ‘Cooling Down’ the blowdown sequence is complete and the network will go high allowing other controllers to blowdown if they want

The sequence is shown graphically below: Message on controller Network Inhibit If another controller is holding the network (i.e. terminal D1 is made), the message ‘Network Busy’ is displayed and the NTWRK beacon lights. If the network is not connected the message ‘ Network Open’ is displayed

11. STEAM WARM UP These parameters allow a gradual opening of the crown valve to prevent thermal shock and water hammer problems in the steam mains. By default the valve is driven open for 5 seconds (Pulse On-Time) every 5 minutes (Pulse Off-Time). The valve is allowed to close without pulsing

Parameter Name Parameter Description Value Default Open Day To set a day to open the valve Note 1 Never

Open Time To set a time to open the valve 0:00:00 to 24:00:00

Pulse On-Time The valve is pulsed open for the time set 00:00:00.0 to 99:59:59.9

0:00:05.0

Pulse Off-Time At the end of the time period set by this parameter, the valve will pulse open for the time set by the Pulse On-Time parameter. This will repeat every time period (5 minutes by default)

00:00:00.0 to 99:59:59.9
