ECO 100+ Automatic Regulation of Burning

1DEVICE DESCRIPTION

1.1 Basic Description

The ECO 100+ is an automatic burn control device for fireplace inserts and accumulation stoves. It is

not suitable for burn control in fireplace stoves.

This product offers unique features representing the cutting edge in burn control technology for an

enhanced user experience.

•Overheating indication

•App color indicates optimal fuel quantity

•Can control 1 external device

•Control through mobile app

The ECO 100+ is a fully autonomous control system. It is not necessary to connect the control unit to

the mobile app. Not connecting will, however, make it impossible to adjust settings and / or receive

information about the combustion process and overheat warnings.

The ECO 100+ Puts an End to Overheating

Overheating is possibly the most wasteful home heating practice. It is very common to introduce more

fuel than necessary for your heating needs; this results in most of the “extra” energy from the fuel

escaping uselessly through the chimney. Aside from wasting fuel, this also significantly increases wear

on the heating system, including the chimney.

The ECO 100+ can detect overheating and inform the user to add less fuel in the next refueling.

The mobile app informs the user about the current status throughout the entire burn process. Based

on the current firebox temperature, the app displays 3 color indicators (yellow, green, red).

The user should adjust the fuel amount so that when the firebox is at maximum temperature, the

app shows the green indicator. Once the current burn has progressed sufficiently, the app evaluates

the adequacy of the fuel load used by displaying a colored dot in the top left corner of the app

screen:

-yellow: fuel load was less than optimal

-green: fuel load was optimal

-red: fuel load was more than optimal (overheating)

1.2 General Information

Automatic regulation of burning optimizes the burning process in a fireplace or stove with the aim of

improving efficiency.

The Timpex system for automatic regulation of burning has a microprocessor-based control unit,

which compares the current situation in the firebox with a “Burning Optimization” program;

depending on the results, the system adjusts the airflow to the firebox using an electronically-

controlled motorized shutter in the external air intake.

The system can be installed on any fireplace or stove with external air intake.

3INSTALLING THE MOBILE APP

3.1 Downloading the Mobile App

The mobile app is available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store; the app name is

Timpex ECO. Open the app details in the store and tap “Install”; the app will then be automatically

installed on your phone.

3.2 Pairing the App with the ECO 100+ Control Unit

1. Turn on Bluetooth and GPS positioning on your device.

2. Launch the mobile app.

3. The app will need permission to access your device’s location. This is necessary because the

app searches for your specific ECO 100+ control unit only near your position.

4. Once launched, the app starts an automatic search for nearby ECO 100+ devices. Once the

search completes, the app will show a list of units found. Select the one called Timpex_ECO.

5. The app will then request a pairing password. Enter the default password 123456 and press

OK to confirm.

Note: If the app failed to request a pairing password, check your phone’s notification bar.

Some Android devices move the password request and entry to a notification item.

6. The mobile app is now paired with the ECO 100+ device.

Note: The ECO 100+ can only be paired with a single mobile device at a time. If you wish to connect

another mobile device, you will need to disconnect the current one first.

6USING AUTOMATIC REGULATION OF BURNING

6.1 Start

Starting burn control launches a new controlled-burn process. At start, the EAI shutter opens fully to

provide maximum airflow into the firebox. An audio signal of 3 short beeps is played to confirm

successful launch.

Burn control can be started automatically or manually:

•Automatic

•When SDS is activated

•Using the Magnetic Door Sensor, when installed

•Manual

•Pressing the START button in the mobile app

•Pressing a mechanical button, when installed

Burn control must be restarted whenever refueling!

When using the Magnetic Door Sensor, turn SDS off.

6.2 Refueling

When refueling is needed, the control unit emits a beep signal (1 long beep + 4 medium-length

beeps). The mobile app displays refueling requests by moving the “Burning phase” indicator to

position B.

Always adhere to fuel quantity and type recommendations provided by the heating system

manufacturer!

7SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

7.1 What to Do in Case of Power Outage

In the event of mains power failure to the automatic regulation process, there is no need to reduce

or stop heating, regardless of which phase the burning control program was in at the time of the

outage. However, unless you have purchased the return spring shutter option, keep in mind that the

air intake shutter will have remained in whatever position it was in before power failed.

If you subsequently need to refuel, it is essential to manually open the air intake shutter to the 100%

position.

If your heating system includes a water heat exchanger, you cannot continue heating

during a power outage. Potentially dangerous unmonitored increases in exchanger water

temperature and pressure could occur, as the water pump cannot circulate and cool the

water.

Once electric power has been restored, no further manual changes to the combustion control system

are required.
