Unit Operation

(continued)

Demand Confi guration: ENABLE = INACTIVE; BMS = ACTIVE

In this confi guration the unit is controlled by setting the modulation setpoint from 0 - 100%, or the setpoint. The setpoint
command will be determined by the parameters in the control.

Rate command will be 0 - 100% of the modulation range.

All sensors and limiting devices should be hardwired to the terminal strip on the back of the unit excluding the 0 - 10Vdc signal.
This signal will be sent to the unit via ModBus.

The holding registers will need to be set as follows:

For proper hexadecimal conversion of rate percentage, please refer to the Rate and Temperature Conversion section on page 17
of this manual.

NOTE: To ensure proper operation re-send the confi guration bits to holding register 40001 prior to issuing a command.

Hot Water Generation

Hot water generation can be accomplished with one of two methods when a Crest boiler is connected to a BAS system, DHW
with direct control, and DHW with remote control.

DHW with direct control:

This is the typical installation with a hot water generator in close proximity to the boiler with the tank thermostat, or tank
temperature sensor, wired to the terminal strip of the unit.

Demand Confi guration: ENABLE = ACTIVE; BMS = ACTIVE

In this confi guration the unit is controlled by providing an enable signal. The setpoint command will be determined by the
parameters in the control and a rate command through ModBus communications.

The rate command will be 0 - 100% of modulation.

All sensors and limiting devices should be hardwired to the terminal strip on the back of the unit excluding the enable and 0-10V
BMS signal. These signals will be sent to the unit via ModBus.

The holding registers will need to be set as follows:
