INTRODUCTION
NPBC-V3M-E is a controller designed for pellet burners and stoves that detect the burning fire by
measuring the temperature of the exhaust gases. The pulsing control of the auger motor from the pellet
tank allows the precise dosing of the amount of pellets that goes to the burner. NPBC-V3M-E controls
an optional internal auger motor that forwards the pellets inside the burner. The controller runs two
blowers: one that provides the fresh air to the burning chamber and the other takes out the exhaust
gases from the boiler. Both blowers' power can be adjusted from the controller. NPBC-V3M-E can
also control an additional more powerful fan to blow away the ashes from the burning chamber during
the cleaning procedures. The controller runs up to two circulation pumps: for the heating installation
and for the hot water heater installation. All of the controlled mechanisms must work on 220VAC
or 110VAC mains power supply!

Additional information Clock
Press the F button to switch the work mode or to turn off the burner:
Check sign
By pressing or buttons, move up or down the check sign that indicates the mode you
are going to select. The following pressing the F button switches to the selected mode.
Work modes:
Standby Turn off the burner. If it was working by the moment of switching to this mode, the
fire will be automatically extinguished. In the work mode field will be shown Standby.
Auto Automatic mode. By selecting this mode the burner automatically starts and during the
work process keeps the set temperature. In the work mode field will be shown Auto.
Programme This mode has additional programming periods of the day when boiler's work is
allowed. In this mode the burner starts and regulates the set temperature only during the time
intervals when this is allowed by the timer. In the work mode field appears a timer and the
time of the next turning on or off, depending which is next. For example means a
turning off is coming next at 22:00h.
If the clock is not set (its indication blinks) then pressing the F button switches to the time setting
screen (Set Time) instead of mode menu.

Automatic work mode (Auto):
After selecting this more, choose the external installation, which is going to be heated by the boiler:
Work modes with external installations:
CH Priority only the building heating installation works. The circulation pump turns on
when the temperature of the water in the boiler gets higher than the set temperature in the menu
CH Setup. The pump works until the temperature of the water gets lower than the set
temperature. When the room thermostat activates due to reaching the set temperature, the pump
keeps working, but the burner's power starts to decrease with one power level down on time
intervals set from the menu Burning Shutdown. At the end it goes through Suspend mode too
before it turns off. If the room thermostat goes back to its normal condition before the burner is
off, it will continue its work according to the temperature of the water in the boiler. If the room
thermostat is active for longer period (the time for Burning Shutdown + Suspend time has run
out) the burner turns off and will be ignited again after the thermostat gets back to its normal
condition.
DHW Priority the domestic hot water heater (DHW) has a priority in heating. The pump of
the water heater's installation turns on when all of the following conditions are implemented:
The temperature of the water in the boiler is above 35oC
The difference between the temperature of the water in the boiler and in the water heater
is above 5oC
The temperature of the water in the water heater is lower than the temperature set in the
menu DHW Setup, line Set Temp.
After reaching the set temperature, the circulation pump turns off and then turns back on again
when the temperature of the water in the water heater gets lower than the difference Set Temp
Hysteresis in the menu DHW Setup. When the water heater reaches the set temperature, if
the room thermostat is activated from the menu Addons Acctivation, the central heating
installation's pump turns on. In this case, if the room thermostat activates because of reaching
the set temperature and if the temperature of the water in the water heater is higher than Set
Temp Hysteresis, the burner switches to Suspend mode. After the set time for Suspend
mode runs out, the burner turns off. It turns on again when the temperature of the water in the
boiler gets lower than the set temperature minus the temperature difference set for the second
power level in the menu Burn Level. The conditions for the circulation pumps of the water
heater or the heating installation should be implemented, as well.
For a normal heat exchange, the set temperature of the boiler must be at least 5
degrees higher than the set temperature of the water heater!
If the room thermostat is not activated in the menu Addons Activation, the temperature
in the rooms is considered as not reached and the central heating circulation pump
works unconditionally.

Parallel Pumps both installations work: for heating and for hot water. The DHW circulation
pump works until the water heater reaches the set temperature in the menu DHW Setup. The
heating installation's circulation pump turns on when the conditions for this in the menu CH
Setup are implemented and turns off when the room thermostat activates due to reaching the
set temperature in all rooms. When both circulation pumps turn off or when the temperature of
the water in the boiler gets to the set temperature, the burner switches to Suspend mode. It
turns off after the maximum time for the Suspend mode runs out. The burner turns on again
when the temperature of the water in the boiler gets lower than the set temperature minus the
temperature difference set for the second power level in the menu Burn Level. The conditions
for the circulation pumps of the water heater or the heating installation should be implemented,
as well.
For a normal heat exchange, the set temperature of the boiler must be at least 5
degrees higher than the set temperature of the water heater!
If the room thermostat is not activated in the menu Addons Activation, the temperature
in the rooms is considered as not reached and the central heating circulation pump
works unconditionally.
Summer Mode the boiler works only to heat the hot water heater. The difference between
this mode and DHW Priority is that in this mode the boiler turns on only if heating the water
heater is necessary and after the set temperature is reached it turns off. On DHW Priority
mode the boiler does not turn off and maintains the set temperature for the water. If there is a
heating installation, which is not controlled by this controller, in DHW Priority mode it will
have the required hot water.
While the burner is working, the heating installation field shows one of the following symbols:
only the building's central heating installation works
only the hot water heater's installation works
both the building's central heating installation and the hot water heater's installation work
the hot water heater's installation works in Summer Mode
While in automatic mode, the only purpose of the controller is reaching and maintaining the set
temperature in the boiler. Besides, the controller takes care of the periodical cleaning procedures for
the burner. The frequency of these procedures can be set by Auto Clean Setup menu.

Programming mode for intervals of the day when boiler's work is allowed (Programme):
If you decide that there is no need for the boiler to work twenty four hours, you can use the options for
limitation of the work time in this mode. By choosing the Programme mode a screen with time
intervals appears:
After confirming your choice by pressing the F button, a screen for choosing the external installation
appears. It is the same as in Auto mode. While working in this mode, on the upper left side of the
screen appears the time of the next operation which would be turning on (On) or turning off (Off) the
burner:
Programme mode
At 22:00h the burner
turns off
Turning off the controller:
To turn off the controller press F and choose Standby. The screen will take the following view:
Work mode of the heated
external installation
After that an extinguishing the fire and cleaning the burner procedures start automatically.
The complete extinguishing the fire and cleaning the burner takes time. It is normal if the burners and
the boilers aggregates continue working after selecting this mode.
The circulation pumps could work if the condition for them to be on are implemented even if the
burner is off. This allows the rest of the heat energy of the water in the boiler/water jacket to be used.

General information for operating with the controller:
When the controllers screen is in base position, by pressing the (+) or (-) you enter in a mode for
changing the temperature. Confirm the settings by pressing the Enter) button or automatically by
pressing no buttons for 6 seconds.
If there is a water heater installation , controlled by this controller, to assure the normal heat
exchange process to the water in the water heater, the set temperature here must be at least 5 degrees
higher than the temperature in the menu DHW Setup, line Set Temp.

WORKING METHOD
The burner can work either in continuous automatic mode (Auto) or in mode with timers. When it is
in a timer mode, the burner works only during the intervals of the day set by the user. While working,
the burner goes through several stages: cleaning, igniting, burning, extinguishing, cleaning again and
initial state.
Every ignition begins with a cleaning cycle, which is indicated by the symbol for a fan in the upper
right corner of the screen (field work phase). The purpose is to clean all leftovers of the previous
burning. At first, for a certain time, set in the Cleaning on Start menu, only the primary fan works and
after that the additional cleaning fan turns on, if there is any and if it is activated from the Hardware
Setup menu. After that the burner goes to igniting phase.
The igniting is indicated by the symbol in the upper right corner of the screen (field work phase).
A portion of pellets, which is going to be ignited by the electrical heater and the fan, is loaded. When
the flame sensor indicates the pellets are burning, a symbol appears in the flame indicator field and
the burner goes to burning phase. If the pellets do not ignite before the set time is up, a new portion of
pellets is loaded and a new attempt for ignition is made. After as many retries as set in the menu
General Setup, if there still is no fire, the burner stops and a message Ignition fail appears.
The burning phase is indicated by any of the following symbols in the upper right corner of the screen:
, , or . The burner works on its lowest power level indicated by while going from
igniting to burning until the fire flares up. After that the burner goes on its second power level
indicated by . The time for the burner to work on these two power levels can be set from the menu
Burning StartUp. After igniting phase, the power is regulated depending on the difference between
the temperature in the boiler and the set temperature. The power regulation is on three levels with
additional level for suspending the fire only. For each level you can set the fan speed, amount of
pellets and frequency of loading. When the difference in temperatures is smaller than the set
differential temperature for the first power level, the burner goes to Suspend mode, indicated by . If
the Suspend mode continues longer than the set time for this mode and there is no need of increasing
the power, the burner turns off. If the difference in temperatures reaches the necessary difference for
the first power level while the burner is in suspend mode and if there is still embers, it will inflame
automatically.
When turning off, no matter manually or by a timer, the burner goes to extinguishing phase. This is

indicated by the symbol in the upper right corner of the screen. The fuel loading stops and the fan
runs on low speed for preventing a back fire to the container with pellets, while the rest of the pellets
burn out. When the sensor indicates that there is no fire, the burner goes to cleaning phase and after
that in initial state.
The controller can be set for up to 4 automatic intermediate cleanings for twenty four hours. At the
time set for automatic cleaning the burner turns off, cleans and then starts automatically.
The cleaning process is as follows:
1. The burner turns off.

2. The main blower turns on and works on maximum power for time, set in the menu Cleaning
on Stop, line Fan.
3. After the above time is up, the additional fan turns on and works along with the main blower
for time, set in the menu Cleaning on Stop, line Cleaner.
If this cleaning method is unnecessary, it could be deactivated by setting the Clean Count in the menu
Auto Clean Setup to 0.
The controller has one more option for intermediate cleanings that doesn't require the extinguishing of
the fire and only increases the power of the blower. The settings for this cleaning method are in the
menu Interm. Cleaning. The parameters for this setting are: the interval between the cleaning
procedure, blower's speed for the cleaning and the duration of the procedure. During this cleaning
procedures the pellet feeding doesn't stop.
If this cleaning method is unnecessary, it could be deactivated by setting the duration of the procedure
(middle row in the menu Interm. Cleaning) to 0 sec.
USER SETTINGS
To enter settings mode press and hold the F button for 1.5 seconds. User settings are always available
no matter in what mode the burner is working at the moment.

fans.

Suspend adjust the Suspend mode. Set the active time of the auger when loading a portion of
pellets, the cycle time before loading a new portion of pellets and the speed of the fans. Settings here
are the same as above.
Smooth extinction of the fire Burning Shutdown When the room thermostat activates due to
reaching the set temperature while the controller is working in CH Priority mode, the burner
smoothly decreases the power level and if the room thermostat remains active, it shuts down. The
burner goes through each power level and works on it for as long as it is set in the menu below:
If the burner is working on

this power level, in 60 seconds
it will switch to the lower one
Suspend Time adjust the maximum duration for maintaining the fire. If there is no need for
increasing the power for longer than the time set in this setting, the burner turns off.
Overheating If the burner works in Suspend mode, but the temperature keeps increasing, you can set
the limit for it to increase. If the parameter in this menu is set to 5C and the set temperature is 60C,
for instance, when the temperature gets to 65C, the burner will turn off, even if the maximum time for
Suspend mode hasn't run out yet.

Intermediate cleaning Interm. Cleaning This cleaning method works while the fire is burning.
The parameter Cycle indicates the total active time of the main feed screw motor between two
intermediate cleaning procedures. Set the duration of the procedure from the second parameter on the
second line. If you want to deactivate the intermediate cleaning procedures, set this parameter to 0.
You have the option to choose the fan that you prefer for the cleaning: main fan, cleaner motor or both.
If CM is checked, only the Cleaner motor works on full power. If Fan is checked (or if neither Fan, nor
CM is checked), only the main fan and the exhaust fan work. You can set their power level for this
cleaning procedures from the last two parameters on the last row. If both CM and Fan are checked, all
of the fans will work.

Automatic clean up - Auto Clean Setup The burner has an option for Automatic cleaning
procedures. During these procedures, the burner turns off, cleans itself and automatically turns on
again. The parameter in this menu indicates the burning time between the automatic cleaning
procedures. If the burner turns off between two cleaning procedures for some reason (for example, it
has reached the set temperature, or the thermostat has activated, or else), the timer until the next
procedure starts from 0 again.
Hardware Setup gives the opportunity to deactivate the internal auger motor (Burner Feeder) and
the additional cleaning fan (Cleaner Motor), if the burner does not have these options. If Tstat NO is
checked, the room thermostat will be with normally opened sockets.

Burner feeder active time set - Burner Feeder adjust the internal auger motor's (if any) active
time. It turns on at the same time with the main feed screw motor. The active time of the burner feeder
depends on the percents of the active time of the feed screw motor and the additional constant time.
For example, if the feed screw motor works for 5 seconds for each cycle, the percentage setting is
150% and the additional constant time is 5 seconds, then the internal auger motor will start spinning at
the same time with the feed screw motor and will stop in 7.5+5=12.5 seconds. The point of this
settings is to provide enough time for the pellets to move from one end of the burner feeder to the
other.
Percent of the feed screw

motor's active time
Additional constant time
Delay for the Cleaner motor Cleaner This menu sets a delay time after every cleaning procedure
which uses the FC output. The delay time is equal to the active time of the FC output. For example, if
you use this output for a mechanical actuator, during the cleaning procedures it will be supplied with
power to push out the ashes. After that the actuator will have time to get back to its normal position
before the new portion of pellets is loaded.
Activating additional peripheral devices Addons Activation this setting activates the additional
outputs for central heating circulation pump CH Pump and domestic water heater circulation pump
DHW Pump. Thermostat activates the option to work with a room thermostat.

External Stop Ext Stop This menu gives an option to use an external stop switch for the burner.
Connect this switch to the OD input and set whether it is normally closed or normally opened. If there
is a check sign in front of NC, this means that the switch is normally closed and when it opens, the
burner will turn off.
Flame sensor settings adjusts the temperature difference for detecting the successful ignition and
extinction. Set with how many degrees the temperature of the exhaust gases should increase/decrease
for the ignition/extinction to be successful.
Temperature difference

Temperature difference
for successful extinction
When using the default settings, if the temperature of the exhaust gases is 20C at the beginning of the
ignition, the ignition will be successful when this temperature gets equal or higher than 35C. The
extinguishing process will be successful when the temperature of the exhaust gases drops with 50C
compared to the beginning of the extinguishing procedure. If it was 80C, the burner will be off when
the temperature gets equal or lower than 30C.
Maximum temperature - Set Temperature adjust the upper limit of the range for the boilers

Safety Setup A high temperature sensor pt100 monitors the temperature of the exhaust gases. The
parameter Warn sets the value (in Celsius), above which the controller displays a warning message
Cleanup. The parameter Alarm sets the value (in Celsius), above which the controller displays a
message TE Alarm and turns off the burner, because the temperature of the exhaust gases is too high.
In both cases the boiler needs to be cleaned up. If the burner doesn't have a high temperature sensor
pt100, this function could be disabled by removing the check sign on the row Active.
The following screens are available only if the burner is in Standby mode!!!
