PROgRAM CHANgE SWiTCH SETTiNg

To be able to change the M4-CNC settings, the Program/Run Switch must be set to Program.

The switch is located under the Enclosure Wiring Cover for security. The Enclosure Wiring

Cover can be securely closed using a lock.

SEASON

Winter, Summer

Default: Winter

Button: MENU/Season

• The M4-CNC will turn all boiler relays off when it is in Summer setting. However, a DHW

call will bring boilers back on if needed. The Message Display Line will display Summer to

show the status.

• When in Winter, the M4-CNC will activate the System relay whenever the Outdoor

temperature (OD) falls below the Outdoor Cutoff setting. The Message Display Line will

not display any season information when in Winter.

• When the heating season is over, it is a good practice to switch the M4-CNC to Summer

setting. This will allow DHW calls to operate the boilers when needed.

ALERT

DO NOT turn power off to the

M4-CNC when heating season

is over. If you do so, the battery

will run down and will have to

be replaced. Instead, switch to

Summer.

RESET RATiO

Adjustable 1.00ºOD : 4.00ºSys to 4.00ºOD : 1.00ºSys

Default: 1.00ºOD : 1.00ºSys

Button: MENU/Set Point

• The Reset Ratio determines how the System water temperature (SYS) will vary with

Outside temperature (OD). With any of the ratios, the colder it becomes outside, the hotter

the temperature of the system water. The ratios are adjustable from 1.00 (OD):4.00 (SYS) to

4.00 (OD):1.00 (SYS). See "Outdoor Reset Concept" on page 7.

• With a 1.00 (OD):4.00 (SYS) ratio, the System water temperature (SYS) will increase

rapidly as the outside temperature falls, hitting the maximum of 240°F at 24°F outside

temperature. With a 4.00 (OD):1.00 (SYS) ratio, the System water temperature (SYS) will

increase slowly as the outside temperature falls. Even at -30°F, the system water will only

be 125°F, and at 24°F outside, the system water will be 112°F. Such a low Reset Ratio

might be used with radiant floor heating applications.

• With most baseboard heating applications, a 1.00 (OD):1.00 (SYS) setting is a good place to

start. With a 1.00 (OD):1.00 (SYS) ratio, for every degree the outside temperature falls, the

system water temperature is increased one degree.

• If required: Adjust the RESET RATIO in cold weather. If the ambient building

temperatures are too cold in cold weather, move the ratio to a higher selection. That is,

if 1.00 (OD):1.00 (SYS) was initially selected, change the selection to 1.00 (OD):1.25

(SYS). If the building temperatures are too warm in cold weather, move the ratio to a lower

selection. That is, if 1.00 (OD):1.00 (SYS) was initially selected, change the selection to

1.25 (OD):1.00 (SYS).

• The Offset setting lets you adjust the starting points of the Reset Ratio curves. This means

that, regardless of the Outdoor temperature (OD), or the Reset Ratio that has been selected,

when the Offset setting is changed, that change is directly added to or subtracted from the

calculated temperature. For example, if the Set Point temperature was 130°F and the Offset

was changed from 0F° to 10F° (an increase of 10F°), then the Set Point temperature would

increase to 140°F
