5. DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
PETROJET Biorobot boilers are designed for heating water with forced circulation in central or
individual central heating systems with water gauge pressure up to 200 kPa and operating
temperature 90°C. The boilers are designed for burning pellets.
The main parts of the boilers consist of the boiler drum, PETROJET burner with a control unit. The
boiler drum is welded out of steel sheets and pipes, its inner area is divided into combustion
chamber and exchanger through which the flue gases flow to the exhaust gas orifice. The fuel is
burned using a burner located in the combustion chamber. The fuel is fed to the burner by the feed
screw from the fuel container. Through the rotary vane feeder the fuel gets to the internal fuel
feeder which moves the fuel to the combustion area of the rotary grate.
On the outside, the boiler drum is jacketed with removable covers with surface finish. The covers
are fitted with thermal insulation.
CAUTION – Before the boiler operator starts the burner it is necessary to read this
manual thoroughly.

6. USE OF THE BOILER, FUEL
Steel hot-water boilers Biorobot 15 and Biorobot 30 are a source of heat suitable for heating
apartments, family houses, commercial premises and similar environments with thermal loss 6–
30kW. The heating system must be equipped with a pressure expansion tank and forced
circulation of the heating water, with maximum gauge pressure 200 kPa.
The prescribed (certificate) fuel is wood pellets manufactured according to ÖNORM M7135
standard or DIN 51731 standard with diameter 6–8 mm, length 5–20 mm.
The tolerable fuel, provided that the burner is adjusted accordingly, is biomass pellets, paper
pellets and bark pellets with diameter 6–10 mm, length 5–20 mm with maximum humidity up to
15% and spalling up to 50%.
7. DESCRIPTION OF THE BOILER
The boiler is welded out of steel sheets. The inner space is divided into combustion chamber and
exchanger through which the flue gases flow to the exhaust gas orifice. The inlet and outlet of the
heating water is equipped with pipe couplings with inner 1 ½“ thread. The flue-gas ducting is in the
axis of the boiler on the back side.
The fuel is burned using a burner which is located in the combustion chamber and which is based
on the rotary grate principle – a patented system PETROJET. The fuel is fed from the feeder
hopper by a feed screw (motor with transmission, ribbon flight) to the burner. Here it is fed to the
rotary grate. In automatic operation the burner switches on and off according to the required
temperature of the heating water (which can be set by the boiler thermostat) or according to the
need of heat in a reference room (by an external controller – e.g., room thermostat). It is possible
to connect normal controls, e.g., equithermal control.

In case of specific requirements for spare parts, order it in agreement with the manufacturer.
When ordering please specify the type of boiler, size, serial number and year of manufacture.
Spare parts and accessories of boilers can be ordered directly from the manufacturer or retailer.
12. BOILER INSTALLATION
The boiler may be installed only by a specialized contractor.
In particular it is necessary to comply with the provisions of ČSN 06 1008 during the
installation and use of the boiler.
Boiler installation must conform to the applicable regulations, standards and operation
manual.
The vendor shall not be liable for damage caused by incorrect installation.
13. CHOOSING THE RIGHT BOILER SIZE
Choosing the right boiler size, i.e., its thermal output, is a very important requirement for
economical operation and correct function of the boiler. Boiler BIOROBOT 15 is designed for
buildings with thermal loss up to 15 kW; boiler BIOROBOT 30 is designed for buildings with
thermal loss up to 30 kW. By adjusting the burner you can reduce the power of the boiler
according to the requirements of the building up to the minimum power of the burner. Some
tolerable fuels may affect the level of minimum and maximum power of the boiler.
14. PLACEMENT OF THE BOILER
The boiler may be installed in the basic environment AA 5/AB 5 according to ČSNN 33-2000-
3:1995.
The shortest admissible distance of the outer contours of the boiler and flue gas ducting from
highly and medium-flammable materials (see the annex – Flammability of construction materials)
is 100 mm.
The shortest admissible distance of the outer contours of the boiler and flue gas ducting from low-
flammable materials is 200 mm.
The distance of 200 mm must also be complied with in a situation where the degree of
flammability of the material has not been established.
Safe distance must be also complied with when putting furnishings, kindling material and fuel in
the room where the boiler is installed.
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler -10-
The boiler must be placed on a non-flammable floor or non-flammable insulating mat overlapping
the top view of the boiler at least by 300 mm on the front side, on the other sides by 100 mm. for
easy operation we recommend installing the boiler on a non-flammable mat with size of 100 to 150
mm.
The boiler is to be connected to the power, 230V/50Hz, using a power cord with plug, so that the
plug is always at the operator’s reach. It is forbidden to tamper with the electrical installation of the
boiler.
CAUTION – The room where the boiler is installed must be provided with permanent
supply of air for the combustion. The amount of air needed depends on the power of the
boiler: 45–60 m3/hour (this corresponds with the air inlet opening with size 200–300 cm2).
15. CONNECTING THE BOILER TO THE HEATING SYSTEM
WARNING – PETROJET Biorobot boiler is designed for systems with forced circulation.
In order to reduce condensation of flue gases and also extend the life cycle of the boiler it
is necessary to equip the boiler with a system that ensures that the temperature of the
return water does not drop below 60 ºC (dew point of the flue gas). This can be achieved
e.g., by a three-way or, if applicable, four-way mixing valve or thermostatic valve (TSV).
Equipment of the boiler with a system that ensures that the temperature of the return
water does not drop below 60 ºC (dew point of the flue gas) is a condition for the
existence of the warranty provided to the consumer in the duration of 24 months.
The heat transfer fluid should be pure soft water – preferably filtered rainwater or other fluids
designed for that purpose. A fluid with low freezing point and anti-corrosion effects, FRITERM, can
be used as a passive protection of the boiler.
16. CONNECTING THE BOILER TO THE FLUE-GAS DUCTING
Attach a stove-pipe with a regulating damper to the exhaust orifice of the flue-gas ducting using a
rivet with diameter 5 mm; if necessary continue with the stove pipe to the chimney. Attach the
stove pipe to the damper pipe again using a rivet with diameter 5 mm.
The flue-gas ducting should be as short as possible, with gradient upwards from the boiler.
The flue-gas ducting, only fixed in the chimney flue and attached to the exhaust orifice of the
boiler, must be firmly assembled and attached to prevent incidental or spontaneous loosening; the
pipe exhaust should not be longer than 1.5 m, if possible without bends. All parts of the flue-gas
ducting must be made of nonflammable materials. For solid fuels the flue-gas ducts must consist
of pipes inserted into each other in the direction of the flue gas flow.

17. CONNECTING THE BOILER TO THE CHIMNEY
The boiler must be connected to the chimney flue in accordance with ČSN 73 4201 and with the
consent of a chimney-sweeping company.
The boiler in a central heating system must be connected to a separate flue. A chimney with the
correct draught is a prerequisite for proper function of the boiler. It affects the performance of the
boiler as well as its efficiency. The boiler may be connected only to a chimney flue with sufficient
draught. The most suitable chimneys are insulated and lined chimneys. The actual draught shall
be checked by measurements by the installation organization.
18. ASSEMBLING THE BOILER AND THE BURNER
BOILER STEERING SYSTEM
Boiler temperature is controlled by electronic unit, which is located on the boiler body. This unit
switches off or on the Burner. Control unit has safety thermostat which switch off the burner by
disconnection its power supply in emergency cases.

2. Install the inlet valve.
3. Attach the holder (ball) to the exchanger cover.
4. Prior to the installation of the burner it is necessary to remove the top and side cover of the boiler and pull the control unit including cabling through the openings in these covers. After having pulled through the control unit re-attach the cover to the boiler and install the control unit to the holder.
5. Place the burner to the boiler and attach using 4 nuts M10 and 10.4mm washers, according to the figure.
6. Insert the feeder to the fuel container with the end where the screw of the feeder is visible, and attach the other end to the burner using the flexi hose. Do not forger to attach the supporting foot to the body of the fuel feeder.
19. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BOILER OPERATION
The boiler may be operated only by adults demonstrably trained by an authorized technician (i.e.,
people listed and signed on the “Training and burn-in handover protocol”). The boiler operator
must follow the operation manual and may only switch the boiler on and off, set the temperature,
combustion mode on the burner control unit, and check its operation. It is strictly forbidden to
leave unattended children near a boiler which is in operation. Modifications of the boiler which
could endanger the operator’s or other people’s health are strictly forbidden.
The boiler may be operated at water temperature not exceeding 90 ºC and must be checked at
least once every 24 hours. It is forbidden to use flammable fluids for lighting or increase the output
of the boiler over the rating (overload) in any way during the operation. No flammable items shall
be placed or thrown to the vicinity of the stoke or ashtray hole. Ashes must be placed in
nonflammable containers with lid.
In a situation leading to the risk of temporary production of flammable gases or vapors during
works with a temporary risk of fire or explosion (e.g., gluing linoleum, PVC, etc.) the boiler must be
put out of operation in time before the occurrence of the risk.
20. BEDEWING OF THE BOILER
CAUTION – With the initial heating-up, water precipitates on the boiler walls and flows
down to the ashtray area. This bleeding of the boiler walls may give the impression
that the boiler is leaking. The bleeding will disappear after settling of the flue ashes on
the walls of the liner (which occurs approximately after two or three days of operation).
If condensate forms in the boiler also after the first days of operation this phenomenon is
undesirable and may cause damage to the boiler which is not covered by the warranty.
The most probable cause of bedewing:
Incorrectly functioning or nonexistent short loop
Too low temperature of flue gas
Wet fuel
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler -13-
21. SAFETY OF THE BOILER OPERATION
During the operation of the boiler it is necessary to comply with all applicable safety regulations, in
particular ČSN 06 1008 Fire safety of local appliances and heat sources.
PETROJET Biorobot boiler may not be used for any purpose other than as specified in this
manual.
The surface of the boiler may be cleaned only with ordinary nonflammable cleaning agents. No
items made of flammable materials may be placed on the appliance or within a distance which is
less than safe distance.
No flammable material (wood, paper, diesel fuel and other flammable materials) may be stored in
the room where the boiler is installed. The minimum permissible distance of the outer contours of
the boiler and flue gas exhaust from materials with high and medium degree of flammability (which
stop burning spontaneously after igniting without supply of additional heat energy – degree of
flammability B, C1, C2) shall be at least 100 mm.
The minimum distance from materials with low degree of flammability (after ignited they burn and
burn up – degree of flammability C3) shall be at least 200 mm. The distance of 200 mm must be
complied with also in a situation where the degree of flammability of the material has not been
established.. Removal of solid combustion residues from the ashtray area – The ash tray, located
in the middle of the ash tray area, is made for this purpose. The ash tray needs to be emptied on
regular basis before it is completely full. The handle on the front side is used for the removal and
handling of the ash tray. After having removed the drawer from the boiler empty the ashes into a
prepared container designed for ash removal. Use protective equipment – gloves during this work.
LIQUIDATION OF THE PACKAGING
Liquidate the packaging using a recycling yard or use a controlled dump site managed by the
relevant municipal authority.
LIQUIDATION OF THE PRODUCT AFTER THE END OF ITS USEFUL LIFE
The product (boiler) is to be disposed of using a recycling yard or use a controlled dump site
managed by the relevant municipal authority.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENSURING SAFE TRANSPORT
The boiler is delivered from the manufacturer’s warehouse in disassembled form on pallets. The
pallets may be handled using normal handling equipment (forklift, pallet truck). During transport on
vehicles the load must be secured against moving and tipping.
22. BOILER FIRING
Check before firing:
o Water volume and pressure in heating system
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler -14-
o The tightness of the heat exchanger cover
o Fitting of the cleaning door
23. OPERATION INFORMATION
JAMMING OF THE FEED SCREW
The feed screw may be jammed by a hard object in the fuel (for example a larger stone or metal
screw). The operator must ensure that no such objects are present in the fuel.
OPENING THE BOILER DOOR
Opening the central door and looking at the flame is only allowed for a period of time necessary to
adjust the burner. The door may be opened only by trained operating staff. Open the door carefully
because there is a risk of flame flashing out. Use suitable protective equipment.
You may prevent flashing out by first opening the door only slightly for a few seconds before
opening it completely. It is necessary, however, to realize that particularly in high outputs the flame
may flash out of the door. Open the door only wearing gloves. When removing the ash tray drawer
with ashes always use protective gloves, and place the ashes in a nonflammable container which
can be closed with a lid. If the burner is in operation it is forbidden to place hands to the
combustion chamber or feed screw.
DUST-FREE SURROUNDINGS OF THE BURNER
If the burner is in operation it sucks in the air from its surroundings. The operator must ensure
dust-free surroundings of the boiler. When handwork or cleaning must be carried out near the
burner we recommend turning the burner off and covering it (with nonflammable covering) so that
dust particles (e.g., also from the fuel) would not get into the inner space of the burner. (Metal dust
which is produced for example during sawing or grinding of metal is particularly dangerous).
There is a risk of clogging and damaging of the fan, damaging the electronics and the
ignition body of the burner. Defects caused by dust are not covered by the warranty.
24. SHUT-DOWN
Upon long-term shut-down of the boiler it is necessary to push the fuel from the entire feed screw
because the fuel may expand in the feed screw and clog it entirely, so that after having restarted
the boiler the transmission is not able to overcome the resistance.
25. CLEANING THE BOILER
During operation, carbon particles and ashes deposit of the walls, which reduces the efficiency of
the boiler. The amount of carbon particles and tar-clogging of the boiler, if any, depends on the
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler -15-
operation of the boiler, type of fuel used, size of the chimney draft, and temperature of the
discharge water from the boiler. The boiler is to be cleaned as necessary and according to the
operating conditions approximately twice a month. It is advisable to add flue gas thermometer to
the flue-gas ducting and clean the boiler in the event of increased temperature of the flue gas.
After termination of heating remove the lid of the exchanger. Then remove the swirlers from the
exchanger area. Clean the exchanger with cleaning tools which are supplied with the boiler.
Carbon particles fallen to the chamber under the exchanger are to be removed through the smut
door.

Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler -18-
Feeding auger
Transports and accurately doses the fuel into the combustion chamber according to the set power
output.
Controlled fan
Speed control fan allows you to set ideal combustion for a particular fuel.
Ignition Unit
Enables burner to have interrupted operation (automatic switch off and on) regarding to
customer’s heating system needs.
Photocell
Sees light emitted by flame in the boiler and decides when to start and when the fire is already
started.
Rotation Flap (tourniquet)
Effective protection against backfire.
Pellet level sensor
Captures level of pellets in the burner above rotary flap (turnstile) and thus regulates the flow of
fuel into the burner from the external fuel tank by screw conveyor.
Control Unit
CU sets ignition, combustion, and burner power output for individual fuels. It also monitors and
records operational data.
Improper adjustment of the burner may cause malfunction or damage to the boiler.
31. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNCTION
H 15 Petrojet pellet burner ignites the fuel automatically. Operation of the burner is controlled via
the flame sensor – photocell. In the burner body the fuel and the combustion air are fed in order to
achieve complete, effective and environment-friendly combustion of the pellets with high
efficiency.
FEEDING SYSTEM
The pellets are fed into the burner from an external fuel container automatically by means of a
feed screw PETROJET which is adapted and controlled by the burner electronic control unit. The
feeding system always uses the safe principle of interruption of fuel supply to the burner due to the
gravity feeding of pellets to the burner (empty hose above the burner).
If the LED is lighted up the feed crew is not moving. As soon as the LED turns off the feed screw
feeds up to the required level of fuel. Sensitivity of the capacity sensor can be adjusted by the
built-in trimmer (screwdriver maximum 1 mm).
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler -19-
WARNING – It is forbidden to combine the burner with a different feeding system. It is
necessary to use PETROJET fuel feeder.
32. SAFETY AND START-UP
DESIGN MEASURES FOR INCREASED SAFETY
In terms of safety the separation of the burner from the fuel container provides a high guarantee
against burning of fuel outside of the combustion area of the burner.
In the event of a failure the safety thermostat of the boiler will turn off the power supply to the
burner, preventing overheating of the boiler and burner. In addition, the burner is designed to
switch back automatically to normal operation after power supply outage.
In the event of a failure which results in interruption of the burner operation such failure is
indicated on the burner display.
• The process of igniting, burning and shutting down is controlled by a microprocessor logical
circuit with optical separation of the power leads to 5kV.
• The processor keeps checking flawless operation of the fan by means of a feedback loop. If
for some reason the fan is not running it will empty the pellets from the rotary combustion
chamber of the burner and shut down. It will indicate ERROR AIR message, and the boiler
waits for operator intervention.
• The first processor permanently monitors the fuel level using the pellet level sensor.
• The burner is protected against back-firing by a rotary gate (star feeder) and also by
complete emptying of fuel from the burner upon shut-down.
• If the burner fails also in the second attempt to ignite the fuel it will indicate ERROR START
message, and the boiler waits for operator intervention.
• If pellets run out during the burning the burner will shut down. The ERROR PELETS
message will be indicated, and the boiler waits for operator intervention. Important: Do not
forget to provide pellets to the feed screw always before starting up.
33. MAINTENANCE OF THE BURNER, BOILER, FLUE-GAS
DUCTING AND CHIMNEY
CHECKING AND CLEANING
The burner itself is designed to require only minimum maintenance. The maintenance frequency
depends on the quality, moisture and type of fuel burnt, and of course by the adjustment of the
burner. The actual consumption of pellets always depends on regular cleaning of the boiler and
the flue-gas ducting.
With respect to these facts, the operator himself must select the intervals of cleaning in order to
ensure reliable and safe operation of the boiler.
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler -20-
Basic maintenance of the burner
We recommend cleaning the rotary combustion chamber on regular basis once a month using a
wire brush. When burning fuel of lower quality where the ashes get stuck to the rotary combustion
chamber or where the combustion air supply openings get clogged clean the burner once a week.
The rotary combustion chamber may be cleaned only after the fuel has completely burned and the
combustion chamber has cooled down in the “STOP - -“ mode while the fan is running.
34. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BOILER ROOM AN
CONNECTING THE BURNER TO THE BOILER
CAUTION – It is necessary to comply with all general safety regulations for working with
heating devices as stipulated by the applicable legislation. The boiler may be only started
if the burner is properly connected to the boiler, the boiler is connected to the chimney
with sufficient draught using the flue-gas ducting, and there is enough fuel in the fuel
container.
Requirements for the boiler room, system, burner, feed crew and pellet container
before starting the burner:
• The area where the boiler will be installed must conform to all fire regulations according to
the applicable standards and laws.
• The area where the boiler will be installed must be equipped with an opening for
combustion air suction with minimum section of 350 cm2.
• The boiler with the burner must be placed in such a way as to provide sufficient space for
cleaning and removal of ashes from the burner, boiler, flue-gas ducting and chimney.
• The burner must be installed on the boiler using insulation and sealing material and must
be properly attached with nuts to prevent leakage of flue gases to the boiler room.
• The external feed screw must be placed in the container in a way as to allow easy collection
of pellets.
• The hose between the burner and the feed screw must be fastened, properly attached, and
must have such gradient to allow the pellets fall to the burner without problems. The length
of the hose should be not longer than 50 cm. The joints between the hose, the burner,
and the feed screw must be properly tightened.
• The cable from the feed screw must be plugged in the socket on the burner.
H 15 Petrojet boi lers with burner can be used in the “basic environment”, AA5/AB5 pursuant
to ČSN3320001. The boilers must be placed in a boiler room which is provided with sufficient air
inlet for combustion. Installation of the boiler in a residential area (including hallways) is not allowed.
The section of the opening for combustion air inlet to the boiler room must be at least 350 cm2.

35. CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY
After the burner has been installed on the boiler the burner must be connected to power supply
through the boiler (never directly) according to the wiring diagram attached.
• After the burner has been installed the technician will connect the burner to the boiler using
a special cable which is a part of the burner.
• The feed screw is connected using a special plug and socket and is controlled by the
burner electronics according to the signals of the level sensor.
WARNING – The electrical parts must be connected by a qualified person, and particular
attention must be paid to safe grounding of the appliance. The connection is pictured in
this manual.
A four-core cable comes out of the burner and is to be connected to the boiler. The wires have the
following meaning:
• Black-phase (230V, 50 Hz) – The black wire is to be connected to the boiler terminal which
is permanently energized when the main switch is on, independent of the control thermostat
of the boiler. This is the supply voltage of the burner.
• Brown-phase (230V, 50 Hz) – The brown wire is to be connected to the terminal controlled
by the control thermostat of the boiler. It brings in the phase with the same polarity as the
supply voltage activating the start of the burner. It is perceived as a start-up (ignition) and
shut-down signal.
• Blue-N-neutral – The wire is to be connected to the neutral conductor.
• Yellow/green-PE – ground – The yellow/green wire is to be connected to the ground.
WARNING – Both phases (black and brown lead) must be always protected via safety
thermostat of the boiler.

38. SWITCHING ON – OPERATION – SWITCHING OFF
WARNING – The first start-up of the burner after installation must be always carried out
by an authorized technician.
CAUTION – During the first heating-up the surface paint and graphite sealing of the
rotary combustion chamber are burnt; the associated smoke or odor will disappear after
few hours of operation. It is not a defect.
PREPARATION OF THE BOILER AND BURNER FOR OPERATION
Before the initial start-up of the burner first check whether the burner is properly attached to the
boiler, so that no gases produced during the burning of the fuel could leak to the boiler room area.
Check the position of the burner with a spirit level (it must be horizontal). Check the position of the
external feed screw in the fuel container so that its angle does not exceed 45°. Then fill the
container with pellets. Cut the connecting hose between the external feed screw and burner to the
required length, fasten and fix properly.
Then start the burner according to the following instructions:
Starting the burner
• Switch on the main switch on the boiler
• On the control thermostat set the required output temperature of water at 70–90 °C, and
the difference between the switch-on and switch-off temperature 20–40 °C.
• The thermostat should be in the ON position before switching on the burner. If we switch on
the thermostat later the burner will go through the entire STOP mode (approximately 40
minutes) and only then will ignite.
• In the first phase the burner will check the inner level of pellets using the capacity level
sensor.
If the burner and feed screw is without pellets they will be automatically supplied (if they are in the
feed container). After the feed screw and the burner are filled with pellets the burner will
automatically ignite.
CAUTION – We recommend checking the level sensor settings before start. If the burner
is without pellets the LED will turn off, and the external feed screw will be filled or supply
the fuel from the container to the burner (the maximum permitted time of filling is 30
minutes).
AUTOMATIC IGNITION – START FUNCTION
Upon a command of the relevant thermostat the burner will switch from the STOP mode to the
START mode. If the photocell does not see any flame the cylindrical combustion chamber will turn
to a position for optimal access of the ignition hot air to the fuel. The fuel is poured into a
transparent plastic tube above the burner until it is detected by the capacity sensor. The internal
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler -24-
feed screw feeds the required amount of fuel for ignition to the rear section of the cylindrical
combustion chamber, and the electronic control unit starts the ignition. As soon as the photocell
detects flame the burner, after the run-out characterized by the PHOTOCELL parameter, will
switch to the operating mode RUN ST.
CAUTION – If the pellets cannot be ignited during the first attempt the entire ignition
cycle will be repeated. If the ignition is not successful at the second attempt the burner
will signal ERROR START message, it will shut down and wait for the operator’s
intervention. The operator must ascertain the cause of this situation. For example,
whether there is sufficient amount of pellets in the container, whether the external feed
screw is functional, whether the external feed screw or rotary gate are clogged by
impurities in pellets, whether the pellet level sensor is activated and the inside of the
burner clogged.
PARAMETERS UNDER THE START + - FUNCTION

39. ADJUSTMENT OF THE BURNER FOR DIFFERENT FUELS
WARNING – If the burner does not burn certified fuel or if it burns fuel which is not
mentioned in this manual the manufacturer is not liable for any damage to the boiler, the
burner, flue-gas ducting and chimney. The burner is not designed for burning coal.
Setting of the combustion parameters affects the quality of combustion and useful life of
the boiler and the burner. The output of the burner must be set such that the temperature
never drops below 130 °C during operation. This will prevent condensation of water vapor.
CAUTION – Initial adjustment and setup must be carried out by an authorized
technician.
This professional adjustment of the burner is a condition for warranty liability to the
consumer and must be recorded in the attached operation manual.
40. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION – FEED SCREWS
• Only feed screws PETROJET 1.7 m through 4 m shall be used for the H 15 burner.

jammed with a foreign object
Check whether the external feed screw is functional (i.e., whether the pellets are fed)
Contact an authorized technician
Check the control and safety thermostat on the boiler control unit
Switch off and back on the main switch on the boiler. Use a pencil to push the safety thermostat
Check the level sensor settings
Clean and, if applicable, adjust
the sensitivity by the trimmer on
the capacity sensor. (reduce
sensitivity to the left, increase
sensitivity to the right)
The burner will not start (ignite) Check whether the ignition
element is running
Check whether hot air is
coming out of the rotary
combustion chamber
Other defects are indicated by the burner directly on the control display.
If the boiler does not run optimally and the cause cannot be identified contact an authorized
technician.
42. ERROR MESSAGES
The burner is equipped with a system of error indications which are displayed as text. This alarm
makes it easier to look for defect, if any, by displaying the cause of stopping. After rectification of
the defect restart the burner by switching off and on the main switch on the boiler.
ERROR START
This error message will be indicated on the display in a situation where the fuel could not be
ignited not even with the second attempt. The burner will shut down and wait for the operator. The
operator must identify the cause of this situation. For example, whether there are enough pellets in
the container, whether the external feed screw is functional, whether the external feed screw or
rotary gate are clogged by impurities in pellets, whether the pellet level sensor is activated and the
inside of the burner clogged, whether the pellet level sensor in the burner is blocked by an object
from the pellets, etc.
ERROR PELETS
This error message will be indicated on the display after the burner tries to feed pellets to the
external feed screw and the upper orifice of the burner up to the level of the capacity level sensor
for more than 30 minutes. The burner will shut down and wait for the operator. The operator must
identify the cause of this situation. The cause is usually insufficient amount of pellets in the
container or clogging of the external feed screw for pellets. Both situations must be resolved by
the operator.
ERROR AIR
This error message will be indicated on the display in a situation where the actual revolution of the
fan does not reach the programmed values with a certain permitted deviation. This is a loop check
of exact operation of the fan which affects the quality of combustion and safety of the operation.
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler
Operation and maintenance manual – PETROJET Biorobot Boiler -29-
The burner will shut down and wait for the operator. The operator must identify the cause of this
situation. The cause is usually operation in dusty environment.
WARNING – If the burner cannot be put to operation it is necessary to call a specialized
service.
43. SOME RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING PELLETS AS
FUEL
Pellets as fuel can be made of several energy-carrying raw materials. The most common raw
material is wood, although today there are several alternative raw materials out of which fuel
pellets can be produced. These raw materials have different characteristics which are both
suitable and unsuitable for burning pellets. Important factors which should be checked when
buying pellets are: energy value, size, small particle content, moisture and – last but not least –
the price.
We recommend choosing fuel which has the lowest cost per energy unit with respect to the
function of the fuel in the boiler. Study the function carefully after the fuel delivery. Majority of
defects which can occur as a result of poor-quality fuel is related to the handling of the fuel,
storage of the fuel in intermediate warehouses, i.e., over the time before it gets to the end user.
High content of small particles is often a result of spalling of the pellets during storage or at the
place of storage. Formation of sinters in ashes also depends on the silicate (inorganic) impurities
(sand). These cannot be detected other than during operation. Moist pellets can be a result of
storage in the intermediate warehouse and due to the transport. For the latest knowledge about
burning see www.horakypetrojet.cz.
WARNING – When burning wood pellets there is approximately 0.1% to 2% of ashes.
When burning biomass pellets there is a greater amount of ashes produced (3–20%).
The time of checking the amount of ashes in the ash tray must be adapted to this fact.

47. TRAINING AND INFORMING THE OPERATOR ABOUT
PB15 AND PB30
1) Provision of information on each point of the Operation manual and explanation thereof.
2) The operator must ensure quality of the fuel used. The fuel must not be frozen, wet,
extremely spalled, and must not contain nonflammable additives. Other than the tolerable or
certified fuel described in this manual is burned at the operator’s own responsibility.
3) The boiler operator must not switch off the boiler during operation using the main switch (with
exception of a situation where the container runs out of fuel and the system must be
restarted or where there is a risk to the lives or health of people or damage to property). The
cycle of complete burning of fuel and removal of ash from the combustion area of the burner
would not be completed. This would limit easy re-ignition of the fuel. Repeating this incorrect
action might damage the ignition element and clog the nozzles with unburned fuel or cause
other defects.
4) The boiler operator has been informed of all functions in the menu of the electronic control
unit of the burner and the way they affect the burning process.
5) Upon changes of the settings of the electronic control unit made by the operator it is always
necessary to wait at least twenty minutes after every intervention for the change to take
effect. This delay is necessary because the fuel from the previous setting must burn out. We
recommend that the setting step be always in units of per cent and the fuel feeding time in
seconds.
6) WARNING – a small change, e.g., 2%, in the setting of the amount of air will induce a
change in the combustion.
7) If the fuel is completely exhausted the boiler must be restarted. This means disconnecting
the boiler from the power mains by the main switch on the boiler body or on the power supply
for the boiler with burner.
8) We recommend recording the setting which was suitable for different fuels in the boiler
operation log for future easy adjustment when re-using the same fuel.
9) The operator must perform a visual and listening check along with the check of filling of the
ash tray every 24 hours of the boiler operation.
10) You can file requests for repairs at the following telephone number: +420608955676. This does not affect the obligation to claim the rights arising from liability for defects with the vendor (contractor).
