3 Heating Modes

3.1 Central heating (CH) mode

There are 6 onboard CH Mode settings which may be selected with the SSB Boiler.

1. CH Mode = “0” [default mode] Setpoint control of the boiler using dry contacts (TT)

2. CH Mode = “1” Outdoor Reset using ON/OFF control of the boiler using dry

contacts (TT)

3. CH Mode = “2” Full Outdoor reset with no heat demand

4. CH Mode = “3” Permanent Setpoint Demand

5. CH Mode = “4” Analog control (0-10Vdc) of set point temperature

6. CH Mode = “5” Analog control (0-10Vdc) of Boiler Power (%)

Central Heating Mode 0 [default mode] (Setpoint control of the boiler using dry contacts #11 and #12)

CH Mode “0” - Boiler demand is generated thru a call for heat on low voltage contacts

#11 and #12 (dry contacts only). The Boiler will then target a temperature equal to “CH Setpoint” (par.#3) at the Supply Temperature Sensor. If Temperature exceeds the target Setpoint temperature by “CH Hysteresis” (par.#7) the burner will shut oﬀ until the Supply Temperature Sensor drops the value of “CH Hysteresis” below the target Setpoint Temperature.

Example:

If “CH Setpoint” is set for 140°F and CH Hysteresis is set for 10°F and there is a call for heat on #11 and #12 the burner will start when the Boiler Supply Temperature (System Supply Temperature sensor for cascade) reads a temperture of 130°F or less and will remain operating until the call for heat is satisiﬁ ed or until the sensor reads a temperature of 150°F or greater. As long as the call for heat remains the Boiler and CH Pump contacts will remain energized. The Burner will remain oﬀ until temperature falls to 130°F.

Central Heating Mode 1 (On/Off with Outdoor Reset using dry contacts #11 and #12)

CH Mode “1” - Boiler demand is generated thru a call for heat on low voltage

contacts #11 and #12 (dry contacts only). Boiler will target a system supply water temperature equal to the corresponding point on the installer programmed heating curve. (See page 7 for details on how-to program the heating curve). If the System Temperature sensor exceeds the calculated heating curve temperature by “CH Hysteresis” (par.#7) the burner will shut oﬀ until the System Temperature sensor reads “CH Hysteresis” below the target Setpoint Temperature.

Example:

Based on the heating curve programmed by the installer, the calculated supply water temperature on a 32°F degree day outside corresponds with a target boiler water temperature of 140°F. If CH Hysteresis is set for 10°F, and there is a call for heat on #11 and #12, then the burner will turn on when the Boiler Supply Temperature sensor (System Supply Temperature sensor for cascade) reads a temperture of 130°F or less and will remain operating until the call for heat is satisiﬁ ed or until the sensor reads a temperature of 150°F or greater. As long as the call for heat remains the Boiler and CH Pump contacts will remain energized. The Burner will remain oﬀ until temperature measured at the system supply sensor falls to 130°F

Central Heating Mode 2 (Full Outdoor reset with no heat demand)

CH Mode“2” - Boiler demand is generated when the outdoor temperature falls

below the value of “Weather Setpoint” (par.#29). When this occurs the Boiler and CH pump contacts are energized and the Boiler will target a system supply water temperature corresponding to a point on the installer programmed heating curve. (See “How to Program the Heating Curve” for details). If the System Temperature sensor exceeds the calculated heating curve temperature by “CH Hysteresis” (par.#7) the burner will shut oﬀ until the System Temperature sensor reads “CH Hysteresis” below the target Setpoint Temperature. This CH Mode is for constant circulation applications. The Boiler and CH pump contacts will remain energized as long as the outdoor temperature is less than the value of “Weather Setpoint” (par.#29). Using the low voltage contacts #11 and #12 it is possible to apply a set-back to the heating curve. “Night Setback Dif” (par.# 28) controls the parallel temperature shift that is applied to the curve when #11 and #12 contacts are “closed” using a clock or switch.

Example: “Weather Setpoint” is programmed for 60°F. The outdoor temperature falls below this value. The boiler energizes Boiler and CH pump contacts. Based on the heating curve programmed by the installer in this application, the calculated supply water temperature on this particular temperature day corresponds to a target boiler water temperature of 140°F. If CH Hysteresis is set for 10°F, and and the outdoor temperature remains below the value of “Weather Setpoint”, then the burner will turn on when the Boiler Supply Temperature sensor (System Supply Temperature sensor for cascade) reads a temperature of 130°F or less and will remain operating until the outdoor temperature exceeds the value of “Weather Setpoint” or if the sensor reads a temperature of 150°F or greater. As long as the outdoor temperature remains below the value of “Weather Setpoint” the Boiler and CH Pump contacts will remain energized. The burner will remain oﬀ until the system supply temperature falls to 130°F.

Central Heating Mode 3 (Permanent set point demand)

CH Mode“3” - Boiler demand is always “ON” in CH Mode 3 – “Permanent Demand

Mode”. In this mode the Boiler and CH Pump contacts will always be energized. When the Supply Temperature Sensor falls below the value of “CH Setpoint” (par.#3) minus the value of “CH Hysteresis” (par.#7), the burner will turn on. The burner will remain on as long as the supply temperature remains below the value of “CH Setpoint” plus “CH Hysteresis”. Using the low voltage contacts #11 and #12 it is possible to apply a set-back to the “CH Setpoint” target temperature. “Night Setback Dif” (par.# 28) controls the temperature shift that is applied to the “CH Setpoint” when #11 and #12 contacts are “closed” using a clock or switch.

Example: With both Boiler and CH Pump contacts energized, the boiler will monitor the Supply Temperature Sensor. The application calls for a setpoint of 140°F with and Hysteresis setting of 10°F. When the temperature of the Boiler Supply Temperature sensor (System Supply Temperature sensor for cascade) falls below 130°F ( the value of “CH Setpoint” minus “CH Hysteresis”) the burners will turn on. Burners will remain on as long as the sensor does not exceed 150°F ( the value of “CH Setpoint” plus “CH Hysteresis”). In the evening the application calls for a reduced supply water temperature of 120°F. A timer/clock is installed and wired to contacts #11 and #12 of the boiler and these contacts are “closed” between the hours of 10 pm and 5 am. During that time period the “CH Setpoint” is reduced by the value programmed into “Night Setback Dif”. In this example the value is set for 20°F.
