PUMP, VALVE, AND COMBUSTION AIR DAMPER OPERATION
• The S8 controls multiple relays each controlling different types of equipment. In addition to the control of the boilers or
cooling units, it can control, the primary system pump, unit pumps or valves, a DHW pump, and a combustion air damper. The
operation of those relays depends on the Startup and System Settings.

cooling system into the building. For a combustion air damper, it brings in enough fresh air for the next boiler fire up.
• The Run-On time should be set based on the size and type of the equipment. A boiler with low water content and high
horsepower will need a longer Run-On than a boiler with the same horsepower but has more water content.
PUMP EXERCISE
Adjustable Off, On Default: Off
Button: MENU/<System Settings>/Pump Exercise
• The S8 provides an option to exercise pumps for 10 seconds when not used for seven

However, sometimes it may be desirable to make small adjustments to the displayed
value.
• Do not use the Trim setting to make the Outdoor temperature sensor match the reported
on the radio or TV. Outdoor temperature can vary widely over a broadcast range.
