Control module provides freeze-up protection when boiler

water temperature drops below 45° F:

• Below 45° F, boiler circulator operates constantly.

• Below 37° F, boiler operates at low fire.

• Boiler and circulator turn off if boiler water temperature

rises above 50° F.

This boiler control feature does not eliminate possibility

of freezing. Installation must use recognized design,

installation and maintenance practice to prevent freeze

potential for boiler and system.

Supply Temperature Boost

• Outdoor reset operation (factory supplied, field installed

outdoor sensor connected), boiler control automatically

increases target outlet water temperature if call for

heat exceeds 10 minutes.

• At each 10 minutes of continuous call for heat, control

module increases target temperature by 18°F. Module

continues increasing target temperature until it reaches

value set in Parameter 4.

• When call for heat ends while target temperature is

“boosted,” target temperature drops about 2°F for each

minute thermostat is open.

Purpose of “Boosting”: If target temperature is too

low, control “boosts” target temperature until supply water

meets system needs.

Outdoor Reset Operation

Target temperature with outdoor reset: All boilers ship with

outdoor temperature sensor. When sensor is installed (low

voltage terminal strip terminals A1 and A2), boiler control

regulates target outlet water temperature based on outside

temperature.
Set temperature curve by setting Parameter 4 to:

• ODT (outdoor design temperature for the area).

• ODT of 0°F or lower, set Parameter 4 to desired supply

temperature at ODT.

• ODT above 0°F, set Parameter 4 to desired system

temperature when outdoor temperature is 0°F.

Reset curve: See reset curve graph, shows how boiler

control calculates target temperature.

• Outdoor temperature at or below 0°F, target

temperature equals Parameter 4 and never higher.

• Outdoor temperature above 0°F, target temperature

is reduced on a curve that would result in 60°F supply

temperature at 70°F outdoor temperature.

Summer/winter switch option: Install summer/winter

switch, if desired, to disable boiler (space heating)

circulator during non-heating months. Connect switch

across outdoor sensor terminals. When switch closes, boiler

circulator is disabled and boiler operates only on call for

DHW heating.

DHW Operation (option)

Control allows connection of DHW aquastat to low voltage

terminal strip terminals DHW T1 and DHW T2. When

DHW aquastat calls for heat, module shuts down boiler

circulator activated DHW circulator and immediately sets

target outlet water temperature to 180°F. This provides

automatic priority heat allocation to indirect water heater

for maximum response and recovery. DHW circulator

continues for 30.6 seconds after heating cycle to deliver

heat.
