FOREWORD
The AERCO Benchmark (BMK) 750, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, and 3000 natural gas and
propane fueled boilers are modulating and condensing units. They represent a true industry
advance that meets the needs of today's energy and environmental concerns. Designed for
application in any closed loop hydronic system, the Benchmark's modulating capability relates
energy input directly to fluctuating system loads. These BMK models provide extremely high
efficiency operation and are ideally suited f or modern low temperature, as well as, conventional
heating systems.
The Benchmark models operate within the following input and output ranges:
IMPORTANT!
Unless otherwise specified, all measurements apply to both natural gas and propane models.
The output of the boiler is a function of the unit’s firing rate (valve position) and return water
temperature.
When installed and operated in accordance with this Instruction Manual, these boilers comply
with the NO
(SCAQMD), Rule 1146.2. In addition, the BMK 750 & 1000 comply with the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District regulation 9, Rule 7.
Whether used in singular or modular arrangements, the BMK boilers offer the maximum venting
flexibility with minimum installation space requirements. These boilers are Categ ory II and IV,
positive pressure appliances. Single and/or multiple breeched units are capable of operation in
the following vent configurations:
• Room Combustion Air:
• Ducted Combustion Air:
emission standards outlined in: South Coast Air Quality Management District
x
o Vertical Discharge
o Horizontal Discharge
o Vertical Discharge
o Horizontal Discharge
These boilers are capable of being vented utilizing Polypropylene and AL29-4C vent systems.
The Benchmark's advanced electronics are available in several selectable modes of operation
offering the most efficient operating methods and energy management system integration.

AERCO Instruction Manual, the installation of units MUST conform with local building codes, or,
in the absence of local codes, ANSI Z223.1 (National Fuel Gas Code Publication No. NFPA-54)
for gas-fired boilers and ANSI/NFPASB for LP gas-fired boilers. Where applicable, the
equipment shall be installed in accordance with the current Installation Code for Gas Burning
Appliances and Equipment, CSA B149.1, and applicable Provincial regulations for the class;
which should be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction should be
consulted before installations are made.
See section 1.4 for important information regarding installation of units within the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
IMPORTANT!
This Instruction Manual is an integral part of the product and must be maintained in legible
condition. It must be given to the user by the installer and kept in a safe place for future
reference.
WARNING!
• Do not use matches, candles, flames, or other sources of ignition to check for gas leaks.
• Fluids under pressure may cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment when
released. Be sure to shut off all incoming and outgoing water shutoff valves. Carefully
decrease all trapped pressures to zero before performing maintenance.
• Before attempting to perform any maintenance on the unit, shut off all gas and electrical
inputs to the unit.
• The exhaust vent pipe of the unit operates under a positive pressure and therefore must be
completely sealed to prevent leakage of combustion products into living spaces.
• Electrical voltages up to 120 VAC may be used in this equipment. Therefore the cover on
the unit’s power box (located behind the front panel door) must be installed at all times,
except during maintenance and servicing.
• A three-pole switch must be installed on the electrical supply line of the unit. The switch
must be installed in an easily accessible position to quickly and safely disconnect electrical
service. Do not affix switch to unit sheet metal enclosures.
CAUTION!
• Many soaps used for gas pipe leak testing are corrosive to metals. The piping must be
rinsed thoroughly with clean water after leak checks have been completed.
• DO NOT use this boiler if any part has been under water. Call a qualified service technician
to inspect and replace any part that has been under water.

2.8 COMBUSTION CAL Menu
The Com bustion Cal (Calibration) menu is protected by the level 2 password (6817) which must
be entered to view or change the menu items shown in Table 2-6, 2-7 and 2-8. These menu
items are used to vary the speed of the unit’s blower motor based on air temperature and air
density at prescribed Air/Fuel Valve positions (% open). This is accomplished by providing a DC
drive voltage to the motor, which then adjusts the rotational speed of the blower to maximize
combustion efficiency and ensure the unit conforms to the Nitrogen Oxide (NO
Monoxide (CO) emissions specified in the combustion calibration instructions in Section 4.4 of
the Benchmark 750 – 3000 Installation and Startup Guide, OMM-0121 (GF-205).
CAL Voltage values are factory adjusted for each unit prior to shipping, and so may differ from
the defaults shown in the tables below. A full description of each item appears in Appendix A-5.

The BST menu must be enabled in order to be displayed and accessed. The BST Menu item,
located at the end of the Configuration menu (item 37 in Table 2-4), must be set to Enabled.
The BST menu contains all of the items required to configure, operate and monitor the
functionality of the BST System. There are over 50 items in this menu, and selecting any
particular item from the list, for inspection or modification, could be time consuming. As a result,
the BST menu has been segmented into FIVE logical groups based on functionality.
The five Item groups are:
1. BST Monitor Items
2. *BST SETUP MENU*
3. *OPERATE MENU*
4. * TEMP CTRL MENU*
5. * BST COMM MENU*
These displayed item groups are displayed in UPPER CASE letters, and are bounded by an
asterisk * in order to readily identify them within the item list.
The Items contained in group 1 (BST Monitor Items) are always displayed within the menu, as
these items are critical for proper system operation. Therefore, the BST Monitor Items Header
itself is not displayed.
The Items contained in groups 2-5 arenot displayed unless that particular item g roup has been

SECTION 3 – MODES OF OPERATION
SECTION 3: MODES OF OPERATION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
The boiler is capable of being operated in any one of six different modes. The following sections
provide descriptions of each of these operating modes. Each boiler is shipped from the factory
tested and configured for the ordered mode of operation. All temperature related parameters
are at their factory default values, which work well in most applications. However, it may be
necessary to change certain parameters to customize the unit to the system environment. After
reading this section, parameters can be customized to suit the needs of the specific application.
A complete listing and descriptions of the temperature related parameters are included in
Appendix A, while factory defaults are listed in Sections 2.4 – 2.10, above.
3.2 INDOOR/OUTDOOR RESET MODE
This mode of operation is based on outside air temperatures. As the outside air temperature
decreases, the supply header temperature will increase and vice versa. For this mode, it is
necessary to install an outside air sensor as well as select a building reference temperature and
a reset ratio.
3.2.1 Reset Ratio
Reset ratio is an adjustable number from 0.1 to 9.9. Once adjusted, the supply header
temperature will increase by that number for each degree that the outside air temperature
decreases. For instance, if a reset ratio of 1.6 is used, for each degree that outside air
temperature decreases the supply header temperature will increase by 1.6 degrees.
3.2.2 Building Reference Temperature
This is a temperature from 40°F to 230°F (4.4°C to 110°C). Once sel e ct ed , it is t h e t em p er a t ur e
that the system references to begin increasing its temperature. For instance, if a reset ratio of
1.6 is used, and we select a building reference temperature of 70°F (21.1°C), then at an outside
temperature of 69°F (20.6°C), the supply header temperature will increase by 1.6° to 71.6°F
(0.9°C to 22°C).
3.2.3 Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor Installation
The outdoor air temperature sensor must be mounted on the North side of the building in an
area where the average outside air temperature is expected. The sensor must be shielded from
the sun's direct rays, as well as direct impingement by the elements. If a cover or shield is used,
it must allow free air circulation. The sensor may be mounted up to 200 feet (61m) fr om the
unit. Sensor connections are made at the Input/Output (I/O) Box on the front of the boiler.
Connections are made at the terminals labeled OUTDOOR AIR IN and AIR SENSOR COM
inside the I/O Box. Use shielded 18 to 22 AWG wire for connections. A wiring diagram is
provided on the cover of the I/O Box. Refer to Section 2.10: AC Electrical Power Wiring of th e Benchmark 750 – 3000 Installation and Startup Guide, OMM-0121 (GF-205) for additional
information on wiring.

3.3 CONSTANT SETPOINT MODE
The CONSTANT SETPOINT mode is used when a fixed header temperature is desired.
Common uses of this mode of operation include water source heat pump loops, and indirect
heat exchangers for potable hot water systems or processes.
No external sensors are required to operate in this mode. While it is necessary to set the
desired setpoint temperature, it is not necessary to change any other temperature-related
functions. The unit is factory preset with settings that work well in most applications. Prior to
changing any temperature-related parameters, other than the setpoint, it is suggested that an
AERCO representative be contacted. See Appendix A for des criptions of temperature-related
functions, and Sections 2.4 – 2.10 for their range of values and factory defaults.

SECTION 3 – MODES OF OPERATION
3.3.1 Setting the Setpoint
The setpoint temperature of the unit is adjustable from 40°F to 240°F (4.4° C to 115.6°C). To set
the unit for operation in the CONSTANT SETPOINT mode, you m ust set menu items Internal
Setpt and Boiler Mode in the Configuration menu as follows:
TABLE 3-1: Constant Setpoint Mode Settings
MENU OPTION SETTING
Internal Setpt Select desired setpoint using ▲ and ▼ arrow
Boiler Mode Constant Setpoint
See Section 2.3: C-More Controller Menus for detailed instruct ions on changing menu options.
3.4 REMOTE SETPOINT MODES
The unit’s setpoint can be remotely controlled by an Energy Management System (EMS) or
Building Automation System (BAS). The Remote Setpoint can be driven by a current or voltage
signal within the following ranges:
• 4-20 mA/1-5 VDC
• 0-20 mA/0-5 VDC
The factory default setting for t he REMOTE SETPOI NT mode is 4 - 20 mA/1 - 5 VDC. W it h this
setting, a 4 to 20 mA/1 to 5 VDC signal, sent by an EMS or BAS, is used to change the unit's
setpoint. The 4 mA/1V signal is equal to a 40°F (4.4°C) setpoint while a 20 mA /5V signal is
equal to a 240°F (115.6°C) setpoint. When a 0 to 20 mA/0 to 5 VDC signal is used, 0 mA is
equal to a 40°F (4.4°C) setpoint.
In addition to the current and voltage signals described above, the REMOTE SETPOINT mode
can also driven by a RS-485 Modbus Network signal from an EMS or BAS.
The REMOTE SETPOINT modes of operation can be used to drive single as well as multiple
units.
NOTE:
If a voltage, rather than current signal is used to control the remote setpoint, a DIP switch
adjustment must be made on the PMC Board located in the C-More Controller. Contact your
local AERCO representative for details.
In order to enable the REMO TE SET POINT mode, you must set menu items Boiler Mode and
Remote Signal in the Configuration menu as follows:
TABLE 3-2: Remote Setpoint Mode Settings
MENU OPTION SETTING
Boiler Mode Remote Setpoint
Remote Signal 4-20mA/1-5V, 0-20mA/0-5V, or Network

SECTION 3 – MODES OF OPERATION
If the Network setting is selected for RS-485 Modbus operation, a valid Comm Address must be
entered in the Setup menu. Refer to Modbus Communication Manual GF-114 for additional
information.
While it is possible to change the settings of temperature related functions, the unit is factory
preset with settings that work well in most applications. It is suggested that an AERCO
representative be contacted, prior to changing any temperature related function settings. See
Appendix A for descriptions of t emperature-related functions, and Sections 2.4 – 2.10 for their
range of options and factory defaults.
3.4.1 Remote Setpoint Field Wiring
The only wiring connections necessary for the REMOTE SETPOINT mode are connection of the
remote signal leads from the source to the unit’s I/O Box. The I/O Box is located on the front
panel of the boiler. For either a 4-20mA/0-5V or a 0-20mA/0-5V setting, the connections are
made at the ANALOG IN terminals in the I/O Box. For a Network setting, the connections are
made at the RS-485 COMM terminals in the I/O Box. The signal must be floating, (ungrounded)
at the I/O Box and the wire used must be a two wire shielded pair from 18 to 22 AWG. Polarity
must be observed. The source end of the shield must be connected at the source. When driving
multiple units, each unit’s wiring must conform to the above.
3.4.2 Remote Setpoint Startup
Since this mode of operation is factory preset and the setpoint is being externally controlled, no
startup instructions are necessary. In this mode, the REMOTE LED will light when the external
signal is present.
To operate the unit in the MANUAL mode, press the AUTO/MAN s witch. The REMOTE LED
will go off and the MANUAL LED will light.
To change back to the REMOTE SETPOINT mode, simply press the AUTO/MAN swit ch. T he
REMOTE LED will again light and the MANUAL LED will go off.
3.5 DIRECT DRIVE MODES
The unit’s air/fuel valve position (% open) can be changed by a remote signal which is typically
sent from an Energy Management System (EMS) or from a Building Automation System (BAS).
The Direct Drive mode can be driven by a current or voltage signal within the following ranges:
• 4-20 mA/1-5 VDC
• 0-20 mA/0-5 VDC
The fac tor y def ault set ting for t he DIRECT DRIVE mode is 4-2 0 mA /1-5 VDC. With this setting,
a 4 to 20 mA signal, sent by an EMS or BAS is used to change the unit’s valve position from 0%
to 100%. A 4 mA/1V signal is equal to a 0% valve position, while a 20 mA /5V signal is equal to
a 100% valve position. When a 0-20 mA/0 -5 VDC signal is used, zero is equal to a 0% valve
position.
In addition to the current and voltage signals described above, the DIRECT DRIVE mode can
also driven by a RS-485 Modbus Network signal from an EMS or BAS.
When in a DIRECT DRIVE mode, the unit is a slave to the EMS or BAS and does not have a
role in temperature control. DIRECT DRIVE can be used to drive single, or multiple units.

3.6 AERCO CONTROL SYSTEM (ACS)
NOTE:
ACS is for installations with 9 or more boilers. It utilizes only RS-485 signaling to the boiler.
Installations with 1 to 8 boilers can use Boiler Sequencing Technology (BST), as described in
Section 6 of the Benchmark 750 – 3000 Installation and Startup Guide, OMM-0121 (GF-205).
The ACS mode of operation is used in conjunction with an AERCO Control System. T he ACS
mode is used when it is desired to operate multiple units in the most efficient manner possible.
For this mode of operation, an ACS Header Sensor must be installed between 2 and 10 feet (0.61 and 3m) downstream of the LAST boiler in the boiler plant's supply water header. The
ACS can control up to 40 boilers; Up to 32 via Modbus (RS-485) network communication. For
ACS programming, operation, and Header Sensor installation details, see ACS Operations
Guide, GF-131. For operation via an RS-485 Modbus network, refer to Modbus Communication
Manual GF-114. To enable the ACS mode, you must set menu items Boiler Mode and Remote
Signal in the Configuration menu as follows:
TABLE 3-4: ACS Mode Settings
MENU OPTION SETTING
Boiler Mode Direct Drive
Remote Signal Network (RS485)
Refer to section 2.3: C-More Controller Menus for instructions on changing menu options.
3.6.1 ACS External Field Wiring
Wiring connections for RS-485 Modbus control are made between the 485 A- and 485 B+
terminals on t he ACS (boilers 9 through 40) and the RS-485 COMM terminals in the I/O Box on
the front of the boilers.
Wire the units using shielded twisted pair wire between 18 and 22 AWG. Observe the proper
polarity for the ACS RS-485 COMM wiring connections. Shields should be terminated only at
the ACS and the boiler end must be left floating. Each unit’s wiring must conform to the above.
3.6.2 ACS Setup and Startup
This mode of operation is factory preset and the ACS controls the f iring rate (air/fuel valve %
open position). There are no setup instructions for each individual unit.
To operate the unit in MANUAL mode, press the AUTO/MAN switch. The REMOTE LE D will go
off and the MANUAL LED will light
To change back to the ACS mode, simply press the AUTO/MAN switch. The REMOTE LED will
again light and the MANUAL LED will go off.

SECTION 3 – MODES OF OPERATION
3.7 COMBINATION CONTROL SYSTEM (CCS)
NOTE:
Only ACS can be utilized for the Combination Control System.
A Combination Control System (CCS) is one that uses multiple boilers to cover both spaceheating and domestic hot water needs. The theory behind this type of system is that the
maximum space-heating load and the maximum domestic hot water load do not occur
simultaneously. Therefore, boilers used for domestic hot water are capable of switching
between constant setpoint and ACS control.
For a typical CCS, an adequate number of boilers are installed to cover the space-heating load
on the design-day. However, one or more units are used for the domestic hot water load as well.
These boilers are the combination units and are referred to as the combo boilers. The combo
boilers heat water to a constant setpoint temperature. That water is then circulated through a
heat exchanger in a domestic hot water storage tank.
Only the AERCO Control System (ACS) is necessary to configure this system if only a single
valve is used to switch from space heating to domestic hot water. However, the ACS Relay
Panel is r equired in combination with the ACS when there are up to two isolation valves, boiler
interlocks, and/or a Domestic Hot Water (DHW) pump in a Combination heating plant where
AERCO boilers are being used for both Building Heat and Domestic Hot Water heating.
The following two options are available for using a combination system; one that uses only the
ACS, and one that requires the optional ACS Relay Box:
•OPTION 1 - T his option is selected when the ACS controls a boiler plant containing up to
eight combination boilers that are Domestic Hot Water Priority (DHW PRIORITY) boilers,
along with building heat (BLDG HEAT) boilers, and one hydronic isolation valve in the main
header between the BLDG HEAT boilers and the DHW PRIORITY boilers.
•OPTION 2 – When this option is selected, the ACS Relay Panel must be used in conjunction
with the ACS. For this option, the ACS controls a boiler plant containing up to eight
combination boilers that are divided up into Building Priority (BLDG PRIORITY) boilers and
Domestic Hot Water Priority (DHW PRIORITY) boilers, along with building heat (BLDG
HEAT) boilers, and using two hydronic isolation valves in the main header, one between the
BLDG HEAT and BLDG PRIORITY boilers, and the other between the BLDG PRIORITY
and the DHW PRIORITY boilers.
In Option 2, when the space-heating load is such that when all the space-heating boilers are at
the 100% valve position, the ACS will then ask the ACS Relay Box for the domestic boilers to
become space-heating boilers. Provided the domestic hot water load is satisfied, the combo (hot
water) boilers will then become space-heating boilers. If the domestic hot water load is not
satisfied, the combo boiler(s) remain on the domestic hot water load. If the combo boilers switch
over to space heating, but there is a call for domestic hot water, the ACS Relay Box switches
the combo units back to the domestic load. The ACS in combination with the ACS Relay Box
will ask the BLDG PRIORITY boilers to help with domestic hot water heating if the DHW
PRIORITY boilers are not able to satisfy the domestic hot water demand.
When the combo units are satisfying the domestic load, they are in the CONST ANT SETPOINT
mode of operation. When the combo units switch over to space heating, their mode of operation
changes to follow the ACS command. For more information concerning the operation of the
ACS, consult the ACS Operations Guide, GF-131. For more information on the ACS Relay Box,
see section 2.14 in the same manual.

3.7.1 Combination Control System Field Wiring
Wiring for this system is between the ACS, the ACS Relay Box, and the terminals in the I/O
Box. Wire the units using a shielded twisted pair of 18 to 22 AWG wire. When wiring multiple
units, each unit’s wiring must conform to the above.
3.7.2 Combination Control System Setup and Startup
Setup for the COMBINATION mode requires entries to be made in the Configuration menu for
boiler mode, remote signal type and setpoint (see Section 2.6: Configuration Menu f or detai ls).
The setpoint is adjustable from 40°F to 190°F (4.4°C to 8 7.8°C) .
To enable the COMBINATION mode, you must set menu items Boiler M ode, Remote Signal
and Internal Setpt in the Configuration menu as follows:
TABLE 3-5: Combination Mode Settings
MENU OPTION SETTING
Boiler Mode Combination
Remote Signal Network
Internal Setpt 40°F to 190°F (4.4°C to 87.8°C)
Refer to section 2.3: C-More Controller Menus for instructions on changing menu options.
While it is possible to change other temperature-related functions for COMBINATION mode,
these f unctions are preset to their factory default values. These default settings work well in
most applications. It is suggested that AERCO be contacted prior to changing settings other
than the unit’s setpoint. For a complete listing of temperature related function defaults, see
Sections 2.4 – 2.10.
To set the unit to the MANUAL mode, press the AUTO/MAN switch. The MANUAL LED will
light.
To set the unit back to the AUTO mode, press the AUTO/MAN switch. The MANUAL LED will
go off and the REMOTE LED will light.
When the boiler is switched to ACS control, the ACS controls the valve position. There are no
setup requirements to the boiler(s) in this mode.

SECTION 4 – MAINTENANCE
The igniter-injector may be hot, therefore, care should be exercised to avoid burns. It is easier to
remove the igniter-injector from the unit after the unit has cooled to room temperature. To
inspect/replace the Igniter:
1. Set the ON/OFF switch on the C-More Controller to the OFF
power from the unit
2. Remove the top shroud from the unit by grasping the top handle and lifting straight up. This
will disengage the shroud from the four (4) pins in the side panels.
3. Disconnect the cable from the igniter-injector (see Figure 4-1a – Figur e 4-1c, above).
4. Referring to Figure 4-2a – Figure 4-2c, below, use a 7/16” open-end wrench to disconnect
the compression nut securing the gas injector tube of the igniter-injector to the elbow of the
staged ignition assembly. Disconnect the staged ignition assembly from the igniter-injector.
5. Next, loosen and remove the igniter-injector from the burner plate using a 1" open-end
wrench.
6. Check the igniter-injector for evidence of erosion or carbon build-up. If there is evidence of
substantial erosion or carbon build-up, the igniterbuild-up is present, clean the component using fine emery cloth. Repeated carbon build-up
is an indication that the combustion settings of the unit should be checked. To review
combustion calibration procedures, refer to Section 4.4 of the Benchmark 750 – 3000 Installation and Startup Guide, OMM-0121 (GF-205).
7. Prior to reinstalling the igniter-injector, apply a high temperature, conductive, anti-seize
compound to the threads.
8. Reinstall the igniter-injector in the burner plate using 1 to 3 indexing washers, as needed,
so that when the igniter-injector is tightened, its injector tube will be positioned within the
approximately 120° arc shown in Figure 4-3a throug h 4-3c, below. Note, the recommended
injection tube positioning differs for the positioning recommended in the past.
9. Torque the igniter-injector to 170 - 180 in-lbs (19.2 – 20.3 Nm). DO NOT over tighten.
NOTE:
If replacement igniter-injector (Kit P/N 58023) is being installed, a compression nut
containing a built-in ferrule and 3 indexing washers are included with the kit.
10. Connect the staged ignition assembly to the gas injector tube of the ignitersecuring the compression nut to the elbow of the staged ignition assembly.
11. Reconnect the igniter-injector cable.
12. Reinstall the shroud on the unit.

Derivative Time
If the actual error is less than the proportional band setting
(1°F to 120°F, 0.55°C to 66°C), the fire rate will be less than
100%. If the error is equal to or greater than the
proportional band setting, the fire rate will be 100%.
This sets the fraction of the output, due to setpoint error, to
add or subtract from the output each minute to move
towards the setpoint. Gain is adjustable from 0.00 to 1.00
(Default is 1.0).
This value (0.0 to 2.0 min.) responds to the rate of change
of the setpoint error. This is the time that this action
advances the output.
