Once highlighted, press the key to access the appliance Status screen
The appliance Status screen displays the core data vital to the system such as the operating temperatures,
inputs, outputs, and the state of the burner(s) connected to the appliance.
Key Points
These are some of the key things to look for from the appliance Status screen:
State of the Controller(s)
Ensure that all controllers are running in a steady state. In the example above (Burner FF), the state of the
controller is listed as Low Fire which is a steady state. High Fire and Pilot can also be acceptable steady states.
Outlet Temperature
The outlet temperature should be stable (not fluctuating) and reading at the established setpoint.
Firing Rate
The Firing Rate should be stable and not wildly fluctuating.
Alerts Tab
There should be no asterisk next to the Alerts tab. If there is an asterisk (as pictured here: ), then
navigate to the Alerts tab and refer to the PF3100 Product Manual or contact your supervisor.
Any further investigation of the system requires understanding which mode the PID Staging is in. This can be
found by accessing the Settings tab, navigating to Process Control,and then Advanced PID Config and
observing which mode is selected in the PID Staging Mode setting. Please refer to Section 2 - PID Staging
Modes below for a detailed review of the modes. Once the mode is known, the PID Status can be identified.
