Avoiding Conflicting Boiler Limits
The temperature limits set on the boilers MUST be set considerably higher than the M4-LHS's
Set Point for the reasons detailed below.
• The M4-LHS sensor is located in a common header some distance from the boilers.
• As the temperature rises in the header and before reaching the sensor location, energy is
dissipated. Therefore, the temperature in the header could be lower than that registered by
boiler sensors.
• In addition to the normal drop experienced between the boiler’s temperature and that
read by the M4-LHS sensor, the Last Stage Hold setting must be accounted for. The boiler
limit must be set above the Set Point PLUS the Last Stage Hold PLUS the normal drop
experienced in the piping.
• Using the previous example of a 10°F Last Stage Hold with a 160°F Set Point, the boilers’
limits must be set enough over 170°F to prevent the boilers’ internal limits being reached.
In this situation, the boiler high limit should be set higher than 180°F to prevent erratic
operation.
WarNiNg
The temperature limits set on the
boilers must be higher than the
M4-LHS Max Water Temp. Read
the left section for details that will
prevent erratic system operation.
