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

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)
Both Models
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:
