Introduction
Overview
Boiler Control The Concert Boiler Control (Control) contains features and capabilities which help improve heating system operation, and efficiency. By including unique capabilities, the Control can do more, with less field wiring, and fewer aftermarket controls and components – improving the operation of both new and replacement boiler installations.
Advanced Touch Screen Display Boiler status and setup selections are available from an easy to use, full color, Touch Screen Display. In the event of a fault condition the user is guided by blinking touch buttons to help screens that explain the problem, cause, and corrective action. Operation evaluation and problem-solving is enhanced by historical capability including graphic trends, lockout history records, as well as boiler and circulator cycle counts and run time hours.
Archives Evaluation, optimization, and troubleshooting are enhanced by the collection of an operational record. Operation history is provided by major variable historical trending, time and day stamped alarms, lockout history, cycles, run hours, and boiler loading profiles. These tools may be used on site our downloaded to a thumb drive for review off site.
Advanced Modulating Control The Control modulates the boiler input by varying the fan speed. As the fan speed increases, so does the amount of fuel gas drawn into the blower. As a result, a fairly constant air-fuel ratio is maintained across all inputs. The Control determines the input needed by looking at both current and recent differences between the measured temperature and the setpoint temperature. As the measured temperature approaches the setpoint temperature, the fan will slow down and the input will drop. The Control also utilizes boiler return water and flue gas temperatures to adjust fan speed.
Built-in Safety Control The Control includes safety controls designed to ensure safe and reliable operation. In addition to
flame safety controls the Control includes supply water temperature, differential water temperature, and stack temperature safety limits, as well as stepped modulation responses. Boiler modulation is adjusted when required to help avoid loss of boiler operation due to exceeding limits. Additionally, the Control monitors the safety limits and displays cause of boiler alarm trip and start delay.
Outdoor Air Reset When selected the active setpoint is automatically adjusted based on outside air temperature, time of day, and length of demand (boost) settings. Outdoor air “reset setpoint saves fuel by adjusting the water temperature of a heating boiler lower as the outside air temperature increases.
Auxiliary Equipment Control The Control may be used to sequence the domestic hot water, boiler and system circulators, or fresh air damper. Circulators are automatically run for a 20 second exercise period after not being used for longer than 7 days. Circulator exercise helps prevent pump motor shaft seizing.
Energy Management System (EMS) Interface The control accepts a 4-20mAdc input from the EMS system for either direct modulation rate or setpoint. A factory configured RS485 Modbus interface is available for Energy Management System (EMS) monitoring or control. Additionally the boiler Multiple Boiler Sequencer Peer-To- Peer Network may be used at the same time the EMS is monitoring and providing setpoint over the Modbus network.
Multiple Boiler Peer-To-Peer Network The Control includes state-of-the-art modulating lead- lag sequencer for up to eight (8) boilers, capable of auto rotation, outdoor reset, and peer-to­peer communication. The peer-to-peer network is truly plug and play. Communication is activated by simply connecting a RJ45 Ethernet cable between boilers. The Control provides precise boiler coordination by sequencing boilers based on both header water temperature and boiler modulation rate. For example, the lead boiler can be configured to start a lag boiler after operating at 50% modulation rate for longer than an adjustable time. The boilers are modulated in unison (parallel) modulation rate to ensure even heat distribution.

Supply Water Temperature High Limit The Control is equipped with internal operating control and high limit features. The Control monitors a dual element temperature sensor that is mounted in the supply water manifold and provides UL353 and UL1998 internal safety algorithms. If supply water temperature increases above the active setpoint plus diff above, default 180°F (82°C) (maximum setting 190°F (88°C)) the boiler is cycled off. If the temperature exceeds 210°F (99°C), a manual reset hard lockout results. Additionally, the supply temperature is monitored by a L4008A High Limit Aquastat set to recycle the boiler at 195°F with a 5°F differential.
Stepped Modulation
temperature for longer than a limit time delay, the Control shuts down the boiler and delays restart. If the inverted temperature is detected more than five times the boiler manual reset Hard Lockout is set. This condition is the result of incorrectly attaching the supply and return piping.
Stack High Limit The Control monitors a dual element temperature sensor that is mounted in the boiler vent connector and provides UL353 and UL1998 internal safety algorithms. If the flue temperature exceeds 210°F (99°C), the control begins to reduce the maximum blower modulation. If the flue temperature exceeds 220°F (104°C), a forced boiler recycle results. If the flue temperature exceeds 230°F (110°C), the boiler manual reset Hard Lockout is set.
While the boiler is a slave responding to the internal Multiple Boiler Control Peer-Peer Network, an Energy Management System (EMS) demand, or has Header sensor selected as Central Heat Modulation Sensor the Control still monitors supply water temperature to prevent boiler over firing. The boilers maximum modulation is reduced from 100 to 0% if the supply water temperature increases from 190°F (88°C) to 200°F (93°C). If supply water temperature exceeds 200°F (93°C) a forced recycle results.
Sequence Master Stop All Boilers All boilers are stopped without delay if the Call for Heat input is removed or if the header temperature is higher than 195°F (90.6°C) (field adjustable).
High Differential Temperature Limit The Control monitors the temperature difference between the return and supply sensors. If this difference exceeds 80°F (45°C) the control begins to reduce the maximum blower modulation. If temperature difference exceeds 90°F (50°C) a forced boiler recycle results. If the temperature difference exceeds 100°F (56°C) the control will shut the unit down. The unit will restart automatically once the temperature difference has decreased and the minimum off time has expired. If the differential temperature exceeds the 100°F limit ten times the boiler manual reset Hard Lockout is set. Additionally, if the supply temperature rises faster than the 4°F (2°C) per second limit, a soft lockout is activated.
Return Higher Than Supply Temperature The Control monitors the supply and return temperature sensors. If the return water temperature exceeds the supply water
Ignition Failure The Control uses an external igniter. The Control monitors ignition using a burner mounted flame sensor. In the event of an ignition failure, the control will recycle. If ignition fails after a single retry, a manual reset Hard Lockout is set.
Central Heating System Frost Protection When enabled, Frost Protection starts the boiler and system pump and fires the boiler when low outside air and low supply water temperatures are sensed. Outdoor Air setpoint is field adjustable. The Control provides the following control action when frost protection is enabled:
Table 4: Frost Protection
FROST PROTECTION NOTE
The Control helps provide freeze protection for the boiler water. Boiler flue gas condensate drain is not protected from freezing. Since the Control may only cycle the system and boiler circulators individual zones are not protected. It is recommended that the boiler be installed in a location that is not exposed to freezing temperatures.

Modulation Setpoint The Control starts and stops the boiler and modulates the boiler input from minimum (MBH) to maximum (MBH) in order to heat water to the active setpoint. The setpoint is determined by the priority (Domestic Hot Water, Central Heat, Frost Protection and Warm Weather Shutdown) and as described in the following paragraphs
Central Heat User may select the Supply sensor or Header Sensor as the Modulation Sensor. Upon a Central Heat call for heat the setpoint is either the user entered Central Heat Setpoint, or automatically adjusted by Outdoor Air Reset, Energy Management System (EMS), supplied 4-20mAdc, or Modbus setpoint input.
Outdoor Air Reset When selected the modulation rate setpoint is automatically adjusted based on outside air temperature, time of day input and demand duration (boost) settings. Outdoor air “reset setpoint saves fuel by adjusting the active setpoint of a heating boiler lower as the outside air temperature increases.
entered DHW setpoint or the time of day input DHW setpoint. The optimal value of this setpoint is established based on the requirements of the indirect water heater.
Domestic Hot Water Priority (DHWP) Some boilers are used primarily for building space heating, but also provide heat for the domestic hot water users. When the outdoor temperature is warm, the outdoor reset setpoint may drop lower than a desirable domestic hot water temperature. Also, often it is required to quickly recover the indirect water heater. When DHWP is enabled, heating circulators are stopped, the domestic circulator is started and the domestic hot water setpoint is established in response to a domestic hot water demand. Priority protection is provided to allow the heating loop to be serviced again in the event of an excessively long domestic hot water call for heat.
Device Control The Control may be used to sequence the domestic hot water, boiler and system circulators or fresh air damper.

Sequencer Master
A single Control is parameter selected to be the Sequencer Master. The Sequence Master does not rotate. The call for heat, outdoor and header sensors, and common pumps are wired to the Sequencer Master enabled Control.
Lead/Slave Sequencing The Sequence Master is independent of the Lead boiler. One boiler is a Lead boiler and the remaining networked boilers are Slaves. When demand is increasing, the Lead boiler is the first to start and the Slave boilers are started in sequential order (1, 2, 3,…) until the demand is satisfied. When demand is decreasing, the boilers are stopped in reverse order with the Lead boiler stopped last (, 3, 2, 1). To equalize the run time the sequencer automatically rotates the Lead boiler after 24 hours of run time.
Customized Sequences Normally, boilers are started and stopped in numerical order. However, custom sequences may be established to optimize the heat delivery. For example, in order to minimize boiler cycling, a large boiler may be selected to run first during winter months and then selected to run last for the remainder of the year.
DHW Two boiler Start When the Indirect Water Heater (IWH) parameter is set to Primary Piped” and the DHW Two Boiler Start parameter is set to Enabled two boilers are started without delay in response to a DHW call for heat. This feature allows rapid recovery of large IWHs and multiple IWHs.
Shared or Isolated DHW Demand When the Indirect Water Heater (IWH) parameter is set to Primary Piped” the Sequence Master sequences all required boilers to satisfy the DHW setpoint (default 180°F (82.2°C). When Boiler Piped” is selected only the individual slave boiler, with the wired DHW demand and pump, fires to satisfy the DHW setpoint.
Multiple Demands The Sequence Master responds to Central Heat, DHW and frost protection demands similar to the stand alone boiler. For example, when selected and DHW priority is active, the sequence master uses DHW setpoint, Diff Above, Diff Below and pump settings. However, the Sequence Master always uses the Header sensor and does not use the DHW Sensor.
Optimized Boiler Modulation Boiler firing rate is managed to increase smoothly as boilers are started. For example, when a second boiler is started the initial firing rate is 100%/2 or 50%, when the third boiler is started the firing rate starts at 200%/3 or 66%. After the initial start, the Sequence Master develops a unison firing rate demand based on its setpoint and header temperature.
Selecting This Control Mode Under Adjust Menu, select Sequence Masterr and then select Sequence Master Enable.

During low loads, the Sequence Master limits firing rates to a Base Load Rate to ensure modulating condensing boiler peak operating efficiency. Lower firing rates boost efficiency by helping increase the amount of flue gas water vapor condensation. The Control maintains a Base Load Rate” until the last lag boiler is started. At this point, the Base Load Common Rate is released to allow boilers to modulate as required to meet heat load.

Advanced Boiler Sequencing After there is a Call for Heat input, both header water temperature and boiler firing rate percent are used to start and stop the networked boilers. The control starts and stops boilers when the water temperature is outside the user selected “Difference Above” and “Difference Below settings. Also, in order to minimize temperature deviations, the control adjusts the number of boilers running based on the firing rate. This combination allows the boilers to anticipate slow load changes before they disrupt water temperature, yet still respond quickly to sudden load changes. These special sequencer features help reduce energy wasting system temperature swings and the resulting unnecessary boiler cycling.

Product Features Multiple Boiler Control Sequencer (continued)
Improved Availability - The following features help improve the heat availability: Backup Header Sensor
In the event of a header sensor failure the lead boiler’s supply sensor is used by the Sequence Master to control firing rate. This feature allows continued coordinated sequencer control even after a header sensor failure.
Slave Boiler Rate Adjustment Each slave boiler continues to monitor supply, return and flue gas temperatures and modifies the Sequence Masters firing rate demand to help avoid individual boiler faults, minimize boiler cycling and provide heat to the building efficiently.
Slave Boiler Status Monitoring The Sequence Master monitors slave boiler lockout status and automatically skips over disabled boilers
when starting a new slave boiler. Stand Alone” Operation Upon Master Failure
Individual boilers are configured to continue to operate in the event the Sequence Master Control is powered down, disabled or Boiler-to-boiler communication is lost. The following are design considerations for backup Stand Alone” operation;
Enable/Disable
Upon loss of the Sequence Master each boiler will automatically begin local control. This means it will operate only if it has a call for heat. For this reason slave boilers should have their External Enable/Disable” J8 terminal 1 to 3 jumpered. In the event of loss of Sequence Master the slave boiler will have demand to run.
Modulation
Once running the Slave boiler will use the selected central heat modulation sensor and setpoint to produce heat for the building. Optionally, slave boilers may have a separate header sensor wired and select the “Central Heat Modulation Sensor parameter as Header Sensor. This will allow continued header water temperature control.
Pumping
Consideration must be given to how the system pump is powered. If the Sequence Master enabled boiler is powered down, how will the system pump be operated? It may be required to wire the system pump to multiple boilers.
Once the Sequence Master is restored to operation the individual boilers automatically resume their position as sequencer slaves.

Boiler Status This screen gives an overview of the current status of the boiler. The active setpoint and sensor which the boiler is currently modulating based on are displayed using a bar graph & numeric values. Also displayed are all current sensors installed in the boiler. These sensors will display red if there is an issue with any of them. Additional information shown on this page includes current firing rate, boiler priority, current status, and setpoint source.
Demand Status This page gives the demand status of the Central Heat, Domestic Hot Water, and Sequencer (Lead Lag). Along with this status, the boiler run hours, on/off status, and cycles are also shown.
Pump information is also included on this page including on/off status and cycles. Frost Protection status and Exercise will also appear when used.
Additionally, the Load Profiles are on this page, which give historic data on the modulation of the boiler. This graph shows the percent of the total run hours the boiler spends modulating at each rate (%).
Boiler Monitoring This is an overview of all sensors installed on the boiler represented as bar graphs. Numeric values are also provided for accurate readings.

Trouble Shooting Using Archives
The archives are a fundamental resource for the users interested in commissioning, optimizing and trouble shooting an issue with the boiler. Using the archives a user may review up to 4 months of sensor values, up to 3000 alarms, lockout history or cycle and run history. Data may be simply viewed on screen or exported to a thumb drive for detailed analysis.
Supply/Return Temperature History / Flame Intensity History / Fan Rate History
Supply, Return, flame and fan data provides an opportunity to investigate issues, learn about system operation or fine tune the boiler. Values are stored on the display for up to 4 months. Data may be easily backed up to a thumb drive. Historical data values are viewed by scrolling left and right, the further left, the older the data. By touching the trend at any location, the exact data points will display as well as the Date and Time at which they were recorded.
Lockout History Lockout History is stored in a first-in, first-out basis. Each lockout file is stored with boiler run hour of when the lockout occurred, status at the time of the lockout, and the Annunciator in the limit string that caused the lockout (Only if applicable to that lockout). Up to 15 lockouts may be stored in the Lockout History, 1 being the newest. Touching the lockout shows more information about the lockout that occurred.
Cycle & Run Time History Cycle and Run time data is provided for control, boiler and pumps. Additionally, a load profile is collected. Graphs are provided that show amount of time the boiler operated at each load point. Data may be reset.

Alarm History
The alarm history is a powerful tool that will record up to 3000 alarms. These alarms include Lockouts, Holds,
Sensor Faults, EMS Communication Error or Loss, Boiler-to-Boiler Network Communication Loss, 4-20mA Errors, and Limit String Cycling.
The alarms are recorded in a list with the most recent appearing at the bottom. The alarm list can be scrolled through to investigate past alarms and most current alarms. The alarms are given a date and time stamp which allows for better troubleshooting capability. The alarm list may be downloaded to a USB in the form of a spreadsheet by using the Save to Historical Data function in the Archives Menu.
