5 - Cascade – Start/Stop Sequence

Following sequence of operation occurs if there is call for

heat (CH or DHW) boilers will start as following:

Starting Boilers

1.

Do not open manual gas shut off valve before purging

all air from system.

2.

Do not start boiler if water is leaking. Fix all leaks

immediately.

3.

When demand for CH is present and system

temperature is below Cascade CH Setpoint - (minus)

Start Boiler Differential setting, fi rst boiler will start.

4.

Managing boiler sends calculated setpoint to dependent

boilers. Power of boilers is PID controlled on basis of

Calculated Setpoint and Supply Temperature.

5.

Managing boiler waits for 3 minutes (Default) before

next boiler can start.

6.

When fi ring rate of all boilers is 80% (Default, can be

adjusted by changing Next Boiler Start Rate setting)

or greater and system temperature is below Cascade

CH Setpoint, next boiler starts. Start Delay Time starts

over.

7.

Managing boiler checks power of all operating boilers.

If power of all boilers is above 80% rate and wait time

has elapsed, Managing boiler starts next boiler.

8.

Cycle will continue until conditions below are met.

Stopping Boilers

• When one boiler is below 30% (Default, can be adjusted

by changing Next Boiler Stop Rate setting) last boiler is

stopped. See Stop Delay Time period below.

• When power of one boiler is below 30% next boiler is

stopped.

• Boilers are allowed to stop when system temperature is

above Cascade Setpoint + Stop Boiler Differential (can

be adjusted). If system termperature is below this point

no boilers are stopped.

• All boilers are stopped when system temperature is

above Cascade Setpoint + (plus) Stop Boiler Differential.

6 - Cascade – Boiler Rotation

Rotation Interval setting allows user to select frequency

lead boiler will be rotated.

Rotation Interval=5 start sequence is as follows (x is last

boiler):

Days

Start/Stop sequence

Day 0-1

1-2-3-4-5..x

Day 1-2

2-3-4-5..x-1

Day 2-3

3-4-5..x-1-2

Day 3-4

4-5..x-1-2-3

Day 4-5

5..x-1-2-3-5

When Rotation Interval = 0 boiler rotation is not active.

If one boiler is assigned DHW demand, this boiler will

always be last boiler in start/stop queue.
