SOVIK Boiler Room Monitor is a modern fault signalling system designed for continuous monitoring and signalling of operating, fault and emergency conditions in gas boiler rooms. The system is designed in accordance with the requirements of ČSN EN 12828+A1 and the technical rules TPG 908 02 (formerly ČSN 07 0703) for boiler rooms with heat sources above 50 kW, or from 100 kW respectively. The set includes a control unit with an HMI display, a room temperature sensor, a strap-on temperature sensor, a pressure sensor and a flood sensor. Thanks to the Plug & Play mode, the system is factory pre-configured and ready for immediate commissioning without the need for programming. The boiler room status can be monitored directly on the control unit display or conveniently via the SOVIK mobile app, which is available for both Android and iOS. Access to data is free within the local network; with a purchased licence, you can then monitor the boiler room from anywhere in the world. Detailed product information and technical specifications can be found on the official SOVIK.web website.

What is fault signalling and why do you need it?

The boiler room is the heart of every building – it provides heating and domestic hot water preparation. At the same time, it contains combustible fuel, high temperatures and pressure. If a boiler fault, gas leak, pressure drop in the system or flooding occurs, the problem may remain undetected for a long time. Fault signalling acts as a continuous watchdog that detects these situations and immediately alerts the operator – whether they are on site or away. This shortens response times, limits consequential damage and ensures the operator always has a clear overview of what is actually happening in the boiler room.

Legislation – when is fault signalling mandatory?

The obligation to install fault signalling is based on several standards and technical rules. ČSN EN 12828+A1 sets out requirements for hot-water heating systems with heat sources above 50 kW (or above 100 kW respectively). The technical rules TPG 908 02 (formerly ČSN 07 0703) then specifically define the requirements for boiler rooms with gas-fired equipment – including the need for a detection system with visual and audible signalling to the operator location, monitoring of gas leaks, carbon monoxide and other safety parameters. For Category I and II boiler rooms, a detection system with automatic gas shut-off is also required. By law, the boiler room operator is responsible for ensuring that their installation complies with these requirements.

Which parameters must fault signalling monitor?

A properly designed boiler room fault signalling system should monitor at least the following parameters:

  • Boiler room ambient temperature: Overheating of the room may indicate a fault or fire.
  • Heating system temperature: Monitoring the operating temperature of the heating water in the pipework.
  • System pressure: A drop indicates a water leak, while an increase may be dangerous.
  • Gas leak (methane/LPG): Detection of combustible gas in the boiler room atmosphere – E2630-LEL must be purchased separately.
  • CO concentration: Carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless – E2630-CO must be purchased separately.
  • Flooding of the room: Early detection of leaking or burst water.

Boiler room monitoring on your phone

Download the SOVIK app from your app store. Using the app, you get an overview of the status of all monitored parameters and automatic alerts via push notifications in the event of a fault. The app works free of charge on the local network. With a purchased licence, you can use it from anywhere in the world – without complicated VPN setup or static IP addresses. Simply open the app and you will know exactly how your boiler room is doing.

Who is SOVIK Boiler Room Monitor intended for?

The system is ideal for facility managers and operators of apartment buildings, office buildings, schools, hospitals, hotels and industrial premises – anywhere there is a gas boiler room with an output from 50 kW. Thanks to its simple operation and mobile app, even staff without extensive technical knowledge can keep the boiler room status under control. SOVIK Boiler Room Monitor directly builds on the tradition of the Siemens Boiler Room Monitor 1.0 and Siemens Boiler Room Monitor 2 fault signalling systems and is traditionally built on high-quality Siemens Climatix hardware.
