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.
System Pump: Runs when boiler room has heat demand enabled. Is shut off when boiler is in Warm Weather Shutdown (WWSD).
DHW Pump: Runs when there is a domestic demand.
Isolation Valve: Opens boiler is a lead boiler and when the boiler has burner demand. Closes when the boiler is locked out or in WWWSD.
Boiler Pump: Runs when boiler has burner demand. Stops when the boiler is locked out or in WWSD.

LCI Hold will never cause a manual reset lockout.
Boiler may be disabled remotely by wiring an enable contact to the LCI
“External Limit” terminal s.
When the Low Air Pressure Switch (APS) is proven OFF the LCI input
turns ON and initiates blower start. When Low APS fails to turn ON, the
control enters a manual reset Lockout state.
ILK
Interlock
The boiler will not start if the ILK is OFF. When it is turned OFF during run the
boiler enters a manual reset Lockout state.
The ILK must be ON within 1 minute after the LCI is ON. This time allows
the blower to start and the air flow proving switch to turn ON. Failure to
close will cause a manual reset lockout
ILK OFF Lockout cause the Lockout Alarm contact to turn ON.
Limit Devices
The control monitors individual limit devices as shown in Figure 6 below. If any of these limits open the
boiler will shut down and an open limit indication is provided. Additionally, the control monitors an air
proving switch.

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
IWH’s and multiple IWH’s.
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.

TEMPERATURE
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 Master’s 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.

network including active setpoint and sensor, the
network priority, and the setpoint source.
This status screen also displays all boilers in the
boiler to boiler network. For each boiler, the status
screen will tell it’s assigned boiler number, current
state, firing rate, and whether it is the current Lead
boiler.
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
(%).

Outdoor sensor calibration allows a single point adjustment of the outdoor sensor
reading. This adjustment is a correction offset added to or subtracted from the outdoor
temperature sensor reading. It is recommended to make any calibration when outdoor
air temperature is at or near the most common operating point. For example, when
necessary, calibrate the sensor when outdoor air is halfway between Minimum and a
Maximum Outdoor Temperature parameter value is recommended.

Central Heat Low Fire Hold Time“Low Fire Hold Time” is the number of seconds the control will wait at low fire
modulation rate before being released to modulate. After ignition and flame
stabilization periods the firing rate is held at low fire for “Low Fire Hold Time”.
This delay allows heat to travel out to the system and provide system feedback
prior to the control modulating firing rate.

This parameter adjusts the Domestic Hot Water temperature controller Proportion
Integral Derivative (PID) values. Higher values cause a larger firing rate change for
each degree of temperature change. If set too high firing rate “overshoots” required
value, increases to high fire causing the temperature to exceed the “Diff Above”
setpoint and cycle the boiler unnecessarily. Lower values cause a smaller firing rate
change for each degree of temperature change. If set too low, the firing rate response
will be sluggish and temperature will wander away from setpoint.

Proportional Rate
Proportional Gain value for Domestic Hot Water control modes. A larger gain value
results in tighter, more active, PID control. Gain is the primary PID modulation rate
tuning adjustment and provides the immediate modulation rate response. Pick a
gain based on the desired initial response. The burner modulation rate can oscillate
if the Proportional Gain is too large.

Integral Rate
Integral gain value For Domestic Hot Water control Modes. A larger value makes the

tuning adjustment that ramps the output over time (typically minutes). Based on the
selected Local PID P, select the corresponding (from above table) Integral value.
Repeats per minute between 0.5 and 2.0 are typical. The burner modulation rate can

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.
