12
Top Boiler Model
[six (6) self-drilling hex washer head plated #8 x ½” long screws, P/N 80860743]. Locate and remove the brackets and the hardware. The stacking boiler attachment bracket has three 7/32” diameter holes punched in a triangular pattern. See Figure 5 “Boiler Stacking”.
c. Phantom X boiler left and right side panels have
a series of dimples at panel top and bottom. These dimples are positioning dimples for stacking boiler attachment bracket mounting screws. Side panel bottom positioning dimples are evenly spaced from boiler front and back, while side panel top positioning dimples follow
specic pattern to compensate for Phantom X
boiler model variable depth.
d. Position the upper boiler on top of the bottom
boiler and align boiler front doors and sides ush
with each other.
Place rst stacking boiler attachment bracket
onto the upper boiler left side panel, at the panel lower left corner and align bracket two upper holes with corresponding side panel lower dimples.
III. Pre-Installation and Boiler Mounting G. General (continued)
The remaining lower bracket hole must align with a matching bottom boiler left side panel top positioning dimple.
Once bracket holes and side panel dimple
alignment is veried, attach the bracket to
top and bottom boiler left side panels with the mounting screws.
e. Repeat above procedure to install second
stacking boiler attachment bracket and secure the stacked boiler right side panels together at the front right corner.
f. Install the third stacking boiler attachment
bracket to secure top and bottom boiler left side panels at the rear left corner. Align the bracket holes with corresponding positioning dimples in the top boiler and bottom boiler left side panels, then secure bracket with the screws.
g. Repeat above procedure to install the fourth
stacking boiler attachment bracket to secure stacked boiler right side panels at the rear right corner.
3. When installing stackable boiler combinations
observe the following guidelines:
a. Venting - Top and bottom boilers must have their
individual vent piping and vent terminals.
WARNING
Asphyxiation Hazard. No common manifold venting is permitted. Each boiler must have its own individual vent and combustion air pipes and terminals.
For sidewall venting individual model vent
terminals must terminate no closer than 12 in. (300 mm) horizontally and 3 ft. (900 mm)
vertically from each other in order to prevent combustion air contamination. For vertical through the roof venting, individual vertical vent terminals, if level with each other, must be spaced no closer than 12 in. (300 mm) horizontally. If vertical terminals cannot end in one plane, they must be spaced no closer than 3 ft. (900 mm) horizontally.
Follow instructions in Section IV “Venting”
of the manual for specics of individual boiler
vent termination. Follow instructions in Section V “Condensate Disposal” for each individual
boiler ue gas condensate line construction and
condensate disposal. Terminating individual boiler condensate lines into common pipe prior to drain disposal is permissible, providing
common pipe has sufcient ow capacity
to handle combined condensate volume of stackable combination.
b. Gas Piping - Follow instructions in Section
VII “Gas Piping” of the manual for sizing and installation of an individual boiler. When common gas piping is sized, insure it will have adequate capacity for combined input
(CFH gas ow) of the selected stackable boiler

F. Removing the Existing Boiler
When an existing boiler is removed from a common venting system, the common venting system is likely to be too large for proper venting of the remaining appliances. At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion, and other
deciencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range-hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maxi mum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close
replace dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the Lighting (or Operating) Instructions. Adjust thermo stat so appliance will operate continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after
5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the ame
of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance remain ing connected to the common venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return
doors, win dows, exhaust fans, replace dampers and
any other gas burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.

shown in Figure 23.
b. Each individual boiler must have own
combustion air pipe and terminal. Refer to Paragraphs A through F (as applicable) for individual boiler combustion air guidelines and options.
c. Do not exceed the individual boiler maximum
combustion air pipe length listed in Table 8.
d. If possible, locate vent and combustion air
terminals for an individual boiler on the same wall to prevent nuisance shutdowns. If not, an individual boiler may be installed with a roof vent terminal and sidewall combustion air terminal.

V. Condensate Disposal
A. Condensate Trap and Drain Line
1. All condensate which forms in the boiler or vent system collects in the sump under heat exchanger and leaves the boiler through factory installed condensate trap.
2. The trap allows condensate to drain from sump
while retaining ue gases in the boiler. The trap has factory installed overow switch, which shuts
down the boiler in the event the drain line becomes obstructed, preventing proper condensate removal. Refer to Section XI “Service and Maintenance” for
condensate trap and condensate overow switch
removal and replacement procedure, if required.
3. Note the following when disposing of the condensate:
a. Condensate is slightly acidic, typical pH around
3.5 - 4.5. Do not use metallic pipe or ttings in
the condensate drain line. Do not route the drain line through areas that could be damaged by leaking condensate.
b. Do not route or terminate the condensate drain
line in areas subject to freezing temperatures.
c. If the point of condensate disposal is above the
trap, a condensate pump is required to move the condensate to the drain. Select a condensate pump approved for use with condensing
furnaces. If overow from the pump would
result in property damage, select a pump with an
overow switch. Wire this switch in series with
installer provided external high limit, to shut off the boiler, and, if desired, in series with installer­supplied alarm, to trigger an alarm in the event
of overow.
d. Do not attempt to substitute another trap for one
provided with the boiler.
e. In order for boiler to work properly, the boiler
must be leveled during installation.
4. The condensate trap connection is located at boiler left side, below inlet and outlet water pipe connections. Refer to Figures 1, 2, 3 and 24.
5. Condensate trap must be lled up with water,
prior to boiler start-up and before connecting any condensate line to the boiler to insure combustion
products cannot escape from operating boiler. To ll
the trap, inject water in the amount of 1 cup (240ml)
through condensate trap connection. Do not overll
the trap.
6. Install tee for condensate overow and vent as
shown in Figure 24.
WARNING
Asphyxiation Hazard. Failure to ll the condensate trap with water prior to boiler start­up could cause ue gas to enter the building, resulting in personal injury or death.
7. If any additional condensate drain line is needed, construct the extension from PVC or CPVC Schedule 40 pipe. The factory supplied ¾ in. x 5-5/8 in. long PVC coupling, located in the miscellaneous parts carton, must be used to connect drain line to the condensate trap. Do not over tighten coupling compression nuts when connecting drain line and condensate trap.
8. Size condensate drain line, pump and neutralizer (if using other than manufacturer neutralizer kit) to
accommodate maximum condensate ow shown in
Table 22 “Maximum Condensate Flow”.

WARNING
Asphyxiation Hazard. Failure to install the condensate drain in accordance with the above instructions could cause ue gas to enter the building, resulting in personal injury or death.
NOTICE
Boiler condensate is corrosive. Route condensate drain line in a manner such that any condensate leakage will not cause property damage.
Some jurisdictions may require that condensate be neutralized prior to disposal.
Use materials approved by the authority having jurisdiction.

V. Condensate Disposal (continued)
Figure 24: Condensate Trap and Drain Line
B. Condensate Neutralizer Installation
1. Some jurisdictions may require that the condensate be neutralized before being disposed of. Follow local codes pertaining to condensate disposal.
2. Limestone chips will get coated by neutral salts (product of chemical reaction between limestone and acidic condensate) and lose neutralizing effectiveness over time. Therefore, periodic condensate neutralizer maintenance and limestone chip replacement must be performed. A pH test or acid test kits are available from HVAC/plumbing distributors and should be used to measure condensate acidity before/after neutralizer thus indicating a need for service and chip replacement.
40
VI. Water Piping and Trim
NOTICE
Failure to properly pipe boiler may result in improper operation and damage to boiler or structure.
Install boiler so that the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance operation and service (circulator replacement, etc.).
Oxygen contamination of boiler water will cause corrosion of iron and steel boiler components, and can lead to boiler failure. Crown Boiler Co.’ Standard Warranty does not cover problems caused by oxygen contamination of boiler water or scale (lime) build-up caused by frequent addition of water.
Do not ll boiler with softened water to prevent chloride contamination.
Installation is not complete unless a safety relief valve is installed into the tapping located on left side of appliance or the supply piping.
A. Installation of Factory Supplied Piping and
Trim Components
1. Install provided components per Figure
25 for PHNTM399C or Figure 26 for the PHNTM500C. Rear tapping is return/inlet. Front tapping (middle on PHNTM399C) is supply/outlet. Piping and trim components are located in miscellaneous parts carton shipped with the boiler.
a. Safety Relief Valve – Install on tee off 3/4 in.
NPT tapping on PHNTM399C or on tee off supply tapping on the PHNTM500C. Use
provided 10 in. long nipple to locate valve above heat exchanger top.
b. Drain Valve – Install on tee off 3/4” NPT
tapping on PHNTM399C or on tee off supply tapping on PHNTM500C.
c. Temperature and Pressure Gauge – Install on
supply piping.
d. Flow Switch – Install on supply piping. Use
provided tee with 1 in. NPT outlet. Use correct paddle per Table 23. Refer to Section VIII
“Electrical” for ow switch wiring.
e. Install drain valve into tee bottom outlet.

B. Piping System To Be Employed.
Phantom X boilers are designed to operate in a closed
loop pressurized system. Minimum pressure in the boiler must be 14.5 psi (100 kPa). Proper operation
of the Phantom X boiler requires that the water ow
through the boiler remain within the limits shown in
Table 24 any time the boiler is ring.
NOTICE
Failure to maintain the ow through boiler within specied limits could result in erratic operation or premature boiler failure.
1. Near boiler piping must isolate Phantom X
boiler from system piping via closely spaced
tees to insure specied ow range through boiler any time the boiler is ring.
a. The ow rate through the isolated near-boiler
loop is maintained by installer supplied boiler circulator. See Tables 25 and 26 for recommended circulators.
b. The ow rate through the isolated near-boiler
loop is completely independent of the ow rate
through the heating system loop(s).
c. The ow rate through the heating system loop(s)
is controlled by installer sized/provided system loop circulator(s).
d. This piping arrangement can be used either for
space heating-only applications or space heating with indirect water heater(s) applications.
Table 24: Flow Range Requirement Through Boiler
i. Space heating only - refer to Tables 25 and
26 and Figure 28 “Near Boiler Piping ­Heating Only” as applicable.
ii. Space heating plus indirect water heater(s)
– refer to Tables 25 and 26 and Figure 29 “Near Boiler Piping - Heating Plus Indirect Water Heater” as applicable.
iii. If piping indirect water heater off boiler (see
Figure 30), be sure that indirect water heater and domestic hot water circulator are sized
to maintain ow through boiler within limits
shown in Table 24.
NOTICE
Where it is not possible to install a separate boiler loop, the system circulator must be sized to ensure that the ow through boiler stays within the dened parameters to prevent overheating when the boiler is red at it’s full rated input. Install a ow meter to measure the ow, or re the boiler at full rate and ensure the boiler DT does not exceed 35°F (19°C).
2. Direct connection of Phantom X boiler to heating system, similar to a conventional boiler, is NOT RECOMMENDED because:
a. The ow rate through system must be the same
as through boiler and fall within limits specied
in Table 24.
b. Pressure drop through entire system must be
known, added to pressure drop through boiler,
and a circulator selected to provide required ow
at total calculated pressure drop.
c. It is often very difcult to accurately calculate
the pressure drop through the system.
d. In replacement installations, it may be nearly
impossible to get an accurate measurement of
piping amount and number of ttings in the system. If system is zoned, the system ow rate
may drop well below recommended minimum
ow when only a single zone is calling for heat.

Figure 26: Factory Supplied Piping and Trim Installation - PHNTM500C
C. Standard Installation Requirements.
Observe the following guidelines when making the
actual installation of the boiler piping:
1. Safety Relief Valve (Required) – The safety
relief valve is packaged loose with boiler and must be installed in the location shown in Figure 25 or 26 “Factory Supplied Piping and Trim Installation”. The safety relief valve must be installed with spindle in vertical position. Installation of the safety relief valve must comply with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV. The standard factory shipped safety relief valve is set at 50 psi (340 kPa) on PHNTM399C and PHNTM500C. If the safety relief valve is to be replaced, the replacement valve must have a relief capacity equal or exceeding the minimum relief valve capacity shown on the heat exchanger ASME plate. Also, when replacing the safety relief valve, verify the temperature and pressure gage meets ASME requirements for the replacement safety relief valve. Pipe the safety relief valve discharge to a location where hot water or steam will not create hazard or property damage if the valve opens.
The end of the discharge pipe must terminate in an
unthreaded pipe. If the safety relief valve is not
piped to a drain, it must terminate at least 6 in. (150
mm) above the oor. Do not run safety relief valve
discharge piping through an area prone to freezing. The termination of discharge piping must be in an area where it will not become plugged by debris.
CAUTION
Burn Hazard. Safety relief valve discharge piping must be piped such that the potential of severe burns is eliminated. DO NOT pipe in any area where freezing could occur. DO NOT install any shut-off valves, plugs or caps. Consult local codes for proper discharge piping arrangement.
2. Flow Switch (Required) – A ow switch is
required in lieu of manual reset low water cutoff (LWCO) for forced circulation coil-type water boilers to prevent overheating and heat exchanger failure in accordance with requirements of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV, and ANSI/ASME CSD-1 – latest edition, “Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers”.
44
VI. Water Piping and Trim (continued)
Figure 27: Boiler Head Loss
The ow switch is factory provided. Follow Section
VI, Paragraph A and Section VIII ‘Electrical’ of
these instructions to install and wire the ow switch.
3. Circulator (Required) – Usually at least two
circulators will be required to properly install an Phantom X boiler. See Paragraph B above for information on sizing the circulators.
4. Expansion Tank (Required) – If this boiler is
replacing an existing boiler with no other changes in the system, the old expansion tank can generally be reused. If the expansion tank must be replaced, consult the expansion tank manufacturer’s literature
for proper sizing.
5. Fill Valve (Required) – Either manual
(recommended) or automatic ll valve may be used. However, if automatic rell is employed, a water
meter must be added to evaluate the makeup water
volume taken after initial ll and eliminate any
water leakage as early as possible.
6. Automatic Air Vent (Required) –At least one
automatic air vent is required. Manual vents will usually be required in other parts of the system to
remove air during initial ll.
7. Manual Reset High Limit - Phantom X
boilers have factory provided UL353 listed boiler control and UL1434 listed manual reset high limit. An optional manual reset external high limit is available from Crown Boiler Co. to meet local code requirements.
8. Y-strainer (Recommended) – A Y-strainer
or equivalent strainer removes heating system debris from hydronic systems and protects boiler heat exchanger from fouling. Install the strainer downstream of full port isolation valve at the inlet side of the circulator for easy service.
9. Flow Control Valve (Strongly Recommended) – The ow control valve prevents
ow through the system unless the circulator is
operating. Flow control valves are used to prevent
gravity circulation or “ghost ows” in circulator
zone systems through zones that are not calling for heat.
10. Isolation Valves (Strongly Recommended) –
Isolation valves are useful when the boiler must be drained, as they will eliminate having to drain and
rell the entire system.
11. Drain Valve (Required) – Drain valve is
packaged loose with boiler and must be installed in the location shown in Figure 25, 26 or 27 “Factory Supplied Piping and Trim Installation”.
12. An optional LWCO with manual reset is
available from Crown Boiler Co. to meet local code requirements.

NOTICE
The Phantom X boiler heat exchanger is made from stainless steel tubular coil having relatively narrow waterways. Once lled with water, it will be subject to the effects of corrosion. Failure to take the following precautions to minimize corrosion and heat exchanger waterways overheating could result in severe boiler damage.
Before connecting the boiler, insure the system is free of impurities, grease, sediment, construction dust, sand, copper dust, ux and any residual boiler water additives. Flush the system thoroughly and repeatedly, if needed, with clear water mixed with concentrated rinse agent to remove these contaminants completely.
Iron oxide (red oxide sludge Fe2O3) is produced during oxygenation. To minimize any oxygen pres­ence in the system, the system must be air free and leak tight. Do not connect the boiler to radiant tubing without an oxygen barrier. Using automatic water rell is not recommended, however, if such rell is employed, a water meter must be added to evaluate the makeup water volume taken after ini­tial ll and eliminate any water leakage as early as possible.
Maintain the water pressure in the boiler at a minimum of 14.50 psi (100 kPa).
The boiler water pH must be within 7.5 < pH < 9.5. If the system contains any aluminum components, pH must be less than 8.5.
Black oxide sludge (magnetite Fe3O4) forms as the result of continuous electrolytic corrosion in any system not protected by an inhibitor.
Scale deposit is made up of lime scale contained in most distributed water and settles over the warm­est surfaces of boiler heat exchanger causing subsequent overheating and eventual failure. Water hardness must be maintained within 3 to 9 grain/gal range.
Refer to Section XI “Service and Maintenance” for recommended heating system water treatment products (corrosion/scale inhibitors, cleaners etc) and their suppliers.

D. Special Situation Piping Installation
Requirements
Observe the following guidelines when making the actual installation of the boiler piping for special situations:
1. Systems containing high level of dissolved oxygen – Many hydronic systems contain enough
dissolved oxygen to cause severe corrosion damage to Phantom X boiler heat exchanger. Some examples include but not limited to:
Radiant systems employing tubing without
oxygen barrier
• Systems with routine additions of fresh water
• Systems open to atmosphere
If the boiler is used in such a system, it must be
separated from oxygenated water being heated with a heat exchanger as shown in Figures 30 and
31. Consult the heat exchanger manufacturer for
proper heat exchanger sizing as well as ow and
temperature requirements. All components on the oxygenated side of the heat exchanger, such as the pump and expansion tank, must be designed for use in oxygenated water.
2. Piping with a Chiller - If the boiler is used in
conjunction with a chiller, pipe the boiler and chiller in parallel. Use isolation valves to prevent chilled water from entering the boiler.
3. Boiler Piping with Air Handlers - Where the
boiler is connected to air handlers through which
refrigerated air passes, use ow control valves in the
boiler piping or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation during the cooling cycle.

3. For installations where indirect domestic hot water heater is combined with space heating, the indirect water heater (IWH) must be piped
as a separate heating zone off the system header.
The circulator must be sized based on the IWH ow
requirement and the pressure drop through the IWH zone. Refer to Indirect Water Heater literature for
specic model coil ow and pressure drop. Refer to
Figure 34.

VII. Gas Piping
WARNING
Explosion Hazard. Failure to properly pipe gas supply to boiler may result in improper operation and damage to the boiler or structure. Always assure gas piping is absolutely leak free and of the proper size and type for the connected load.
An additional gas pressure regulator may be needed. Consult gas supplier.
NOTICE
Size corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) to ensure proper capacity and minimize ow restrictions.
A. Size gas piping. Design system to provide
adequate gas supply to boiler. Consider these factors:
1. Allowable pressure drop from point of delivery to boiler. Maximum allowable system
pressure is ½ psig (3.4 kPa). Actual point of delivery pressure may be less; contact gas supplier for additional information. Minimum gas valve inlet pressure is printed on the rating label located in the boiler’s vestibule compartment.
2. Maximum gas demand. Refer to the boiler’s
input as printed on its rating label. Also consider existing and expected future gas utilization equipment (i.e. water heater, cooking equipment).
3. Lengthofpipingandnumberofttings.
Refer to Tables 29 (natural gas) or 30 (LP gas) for maximum capacity of Schedule 40 pipe. Table 31
lists equivalent pipe length for standard ttings.
4. Specicgravityofgas. Gas piping systems for
gas with a specic gravity of 0.60 can be sized directly from Table 29 and gas with a specic
gravity of 1.5 can be sized from Table 30, unless
authority having jurisdiction species a gravity factor be applied. For other specic gravity, apply gravity factor from Table 32. If exact specic
gravity is not shown choose next higher value.

VII. Gas Piping (continued)
C. Pressure test. See Table 33 for Phantom X Min./
Max. Pressure Ratings. The boiler and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing boiler in operation.
1. Protect boiler gas control valve. For all testing
over ½ psig (3.4 kPa), boiler and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from gas supply piping. For testing at ½ psig (3.4 kPa) or less, isolate boiler from gas supply piping by closing boiler’s individual manual shutoff valve.
2. Locate leaks using approved combustible gas non-
corrosive leak detector solution.
DANGER
Explosion Hazard. Do not use matches, candles, open ames or other ignition source to check for leaks.
D. Phantom X Model PHNTM500C (if equipped
with optional low and high gas pressure switches)
1. Use a lock-up type gas pressure regulator.
Some examples of lock-up regulators are listed below:
• Sensus Model 143-80
• Pietro Fiorentini Governor, Standard Model
• Dungs FRS Series
NOTICE
Use a lock-up type gas pressure regulator when low and high gas pressure switches are installed. Older or non-lock-up type regulators may result in nuisance lockouts on gas pressure droops or spikes.
2. Verify low and high gas pressure switch settings are within the range shown in Table 33.
The switches are preset for natural gas. For LP gas, the low gas pressure switch setting must be adjusted.
3. The low gas pressure switch must be reset after
the boiler is piped to the gas supply and before it is
red.
4. For the low and high gas pressure switches
proper operation, the boiler inlet gas pressure must be within the range shown in Table 33.
5. The gas pressure can be measured at the gas
valve inlet pressure port. Refer to Figure 36 “Gas Inlet Pressure Tap and Pressure Switch Location “.
6. If either pressure switch is tripped, it must be
manually reset before the boiler can be restarted.

2. Individual module (boiler) recommended gas piping detail - see Figure 35.
3. An additional gas pressure regulator(s) may need
to be installed to properly regulate inlet gas pressure at the smallest individual module (boiler).
CAUTION
If gas pressure in the building is above ½ psig (3.4 kPa), an additional gas pressure regulator is required. Using one additional regulator for multiple boilers may result in unsafe boiler operation. The additional regulator must be able to properly regulate gas pressure at the input of the smallest boiler. If the regulator cannot do this, two or more additional regulators are required. Consult regulator manufacturer and/or local gas supplier for instructions and equipment ratings.

VIII. Electrical
DANGER
Electrical Shock Hazard. Positively assure all electrical connections are unpowered before attempting installation or service of electrical components or connections of the boiler or building. Lock out all electrical boxes with padlock once power is turned off.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard. Failure to properly wire electrical connections to the boiler may result in serious physical harm.
Electrical power may be from more than one source. Make sure all power is off before attempting any electrical work.
Each boiler must be protected with a properly sized over-current device.
Never jump out or make inoperative any safety or operating controls.
The wiring diagrams contained in this manual are for reference purposes only. Each boiler is shipped with a wiring diagram attached to the front door. Refer to this diagram and the wiring diagram of any controls used with the boiler. Read, understand and follow all wiring instructions supplied with the controls.
NOTICE
All wire, wire nuts, controls etc. are installer supplied unless otherwise noted.
A. General. Install wiring and electrically ground boiler
in accordance with authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, follow the National
Electrical Code, NFPA 70, and/or Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, CSA C22.1 Electrical Code. Provide over
current protection not greater than 15A.
B. A separate electrical circuit must be run
from the main electrical service with an over-current device/disconnect in the circuit. A service switch is recommended and may be required by some local jurisdictions. Install the service switch in the line voltage “Hot” leg of the power supply. Locate the service switch such that the boiler can be shut-off without exposing personnel to danger in the event of an emergency.
C. Power Requirements
Nominal boiler current draw is provided in Table
34. These values are for planning purposes only and represent only the boiler’s power consumption. To obtain total system power consumption add any selected circulator and component current draws.
D. Boiler wiring. Refer to Figures 40 and 41.

3. 24VAC low voltage connections are located on
left side of right PCB and are shown in Figure 39. One 24V fuse and spare are provided. PHNTM399C and PHNTM500C use 1.6A slow-blow fuse.
4. 5VDC low voltage connections are located on
right side of right PCB and are shown in Figure 38.
5. If the outdoor sensor is connected, the boiler
will adjust the target space heating set point supply water temperature downwards as the outdoor air temperature increases. If used, this sensor should be located on the outside of the structure in an area where it will sense the average air temperature around the house. Avoid placing this sensor in areas where it may be covered with ice or snow. Locations where the sensor will pick up direct radiation from the sun should also be avoided. Avoid placing the sensor near potential sources of electrical noise
such as transformers, power lines, and uorescent
lighting. Wire the sensor to the boiler using 22 gauge or larger wire. As with the sensor, the sensor wiring should be routed away from sources of electrical noise. Where it is impossible to avoid such noise sources, wire the sensor using a 2 conductor, UL Type CM, AWM Style 2092, 300 Volt 60°C shielded cable. Connect one end of the shielding on this cable to ground.
NOTICE
When making low voltage connections, make sure that no external power source is present in the thermostat or limit circuits. If such a power source is present, it could destroy the boiler’s microprocessor control. One example of an external power source that could be inadvertently connected to the low voltage connections is a transformer in old thermostat wiring.
E. Flow Switch Wiring
Phantom X boilers require a ow switch to prevent boiler
overheating. See Section VI, Water Piping and Trim, and
ow switch instruction sheet for piping details. The ow switch and ow switch wire harness are factory provided.

Tekmar 265 Based Control System (or equal)
Figure 45: Multiple Boiler Wiring Diagram w/Tekmar 265 Control
The Tekmar 265 Control (or equal) can control up to three (3) boilers and an Indirect Water Heater. When a call for heat is received by the Tekmar 265 Control, the control
will re either one or more boilers in either parallel or sequential ring mode to establish a required reset water temperature in the system supply main based on outdoor
temperature. The boilers will modulate based on an Analog communication signal established between the Tekmar 265 Control and each boiler’s control. The boiler(s) and
system supply water temperature will be reset together to maintain the input that is needed to the system. When a call for Indirect Hot Water is generated to the Tekmar 265,
the control will de-energize the zone pump control (ZC terminal), energize the Indirect pump and modulate the boiler ring to establish a setpoint temperature in the main for the
Indirect Heater using Priority. The Tekmar 265 also controls each boiler’s pump and a post purge of leftover temperature in the boilers will occur at the end of the call for Indirect
Hot Water.

VIII. Electrical (continued)
68
The Tekmar 264 Control (or equal) can control up to four (4) boilers and an Indirect Water Heater by utilizing stage ring. When a call for heat is received by the Tekmar 264
Control, the control will re either one or more boilers in sequential ring mode to establish a required reset water temperature in the system supply main based on outdoor
temperature. The boilers will modulate on their own based on each boiler’s control and will target a setpoint temperature to supply enough input to the system main to satisfy
the desired reset water temperature in the main established by the Tekmar 264 Control. When a call for Indirect Hot Water is generated to the Tekmar 264, the control will de-
energize the zone pump control (ZC terminal), energize the Indirect pump and sequentially re the boilers to establish a setpoint temperature in the main for the Indirect Heater
using Priority. The Tekmar 264 Control will disable the stage ring and post purge the Indirect Pump to reduce the temperature in the Supply Main near the end of the Indirect
Mode to a point where it will need to be when it changes back to Space Heating Mode. The Tekmar 264 Control also has the ability to rotate the lead-lag ring of the boilers to
establish equal operating time for each boiler stage.

F. Multiple Boiler Wiring
1. Install over-current protection in accordance
with authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, follow the National Electric Code, NFPA 70, and/or Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, CSA C22.1. Do not provide over-current protection greater than 15 amperes. If it becomes necessary to provide greater amperes (because of the number of boilers provided) use separate circuits and over-current protection for additional boilers.
2. Required Equipment and Setup
a. Header Sensor (P/N 101935-01 or 103104-01)
A header sensor must be installed and wired to
the Sequencer Master boiler. The header sensor is installed on the common system piping and provides blended temperature information to the Sequence Master. Refer to Figure 34 for installation location and Figure 32 or 33 for installation detail.
b. Ethernet Cables
Ethernet cables are used to connect the boiler
network together. These are standard “straight through” cables that can be purchased at electrical distributors.
Alternately, the network can be wired together by
simply wiring Modbus Boiler-to-Boiler terminals A, B, and C between each boiler. Refer to Figures 40, 41 and 44 for wiring location.
G. External Multiple Boiler Control System
As an alternate to the control internal sequencer, the control
also accepts an input from an external sequencer. Follow multiple boiler control system manufacturer (Honeywell, Tekmar, etc.) instructions to properly apply a multiple boiler control system. The Tekmar Model 264 and Model 265 based control wiring diagrams (Figures 45 and 46) are provided as examples of typical multiple boiler control systems.

Pressurize the system to at least 14.5 psi (100 kPa).
Purge air from the system. A manual air vent is located on the right side of the heat exchanger inside the cabinet.
WARNING
Burn Hazard. The maximum operating pressure of this boiler is 30 psig (210 kPa), 50 psig (340 kPa), 60 psig (410 kPa), 80 psig (550 kPa) or 100 psig (689 kPa) depending on the model and safety relief valve option selected. Never exceed the maximum allowable working pressure on the heat exchanger ASME plate.
DANGER
Explosion Hazard. Do not use matches, candles, open ames or other ignition source to check for leaks.
Make sure that the area around the boiler is clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids.
G.Conrmventsystemiscomplete and free of

L. Upon initial start-up, the gas train will
belledwithair. Even if the gas line has been
completely purged of air, it may take several tries for
ignition before a ame is established. If more than
2 tries for ignition are needed, it will be necessary to
press the reset button to restart the boiler. Once a ame has been established for the rst time, subsequent calls for burner operation should result in a ame on the rst
try.
M. Check Burner Flame
Inspect the ame visible through the window. On high
re the ame should be stable and mostly blue (Figure
48). No yellow tipping should be present; however,
intermittent ecks of yellow and orange in the ame are
normal.
N. Check Gas Inlet Pressure
Check the inlet pressure and adjust if necessary. Verify
that the inlet pressure is between the upper and lower limits shown on the rating plate with all gas appliances on and off.
WARNING
Asphyxiation Hazard. The outlet pressure for the gas valve has been factory set and requires no eld adjustment. This setting is satisfactory for both natural gas and propane. Attempting to adjust the outlet pressure may result in damage to the gas valve and cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
O. Perform Combustion Test
WARNING
Asphyxiation Hazard. Each Phantom X Series boiler is tested at the factory and adjustments to the air fuel mixture are normally not necessary. Improper gas valve or mixture adjustments could result in property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
WARNING
Any gas valve adjustments (throttle and/ or offset) specied herein and subsequent combustion data (%O2, %CO2, CO air free ppm) collection must be performed using a calibrated combustion analyzer.
Failure to use combustion analyzer could result in property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
1. Use a combustion analyzer to sample boiler
ue gas and measure O2 (or CO2) and CO air
free. Boilers are equipped with a screw cap in the vent connector. Be sure to replace this cap when
combustion testing complete.
2. Verify O2 (or CO2) and CO air free are within limits specied in Table 35 for natural gas
or Table 36 for LP gas (propane). Note: Tables 35 and 36 are for sea level only. For altitudes above 2000 ft, see Appendix A.

WARNING
P. Test Safety Limits Controls
1. Test the ignition system safety shut-off by
disconnecting the ame sensor connector (black plug with orange wire) from the ame ionization
electrode. See Figure 40. The boiler must shut
down and must not start with the ame sensor
disconnected.
73
IX. System Start-up (continued)
2. Testtheowswitch by disabling the primary
loop circulator. The boiler must not start if ow is
not present.
3. Test any other external limits or other controls
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Q. Check Thermostat Operation
Verify that the boiler starts and stops in response to
calls for heat from the heating thermostat and indirect water heater thermostat. Make sure that the appropriate circulators also start and stop in response to the thermostats.
R. Adjust Supply Water Temperature
As shipped, the heating set point supply temperature
is set to 180°F (82.2°C) and, indirect water heater set point supply temperature is set to 170°F (76.7°C). If necessary, adjust these to the appropriate settings for the type of system to which this boiler is connected. See Section X “Operation” (parameter table) of this manual for information on how to adjust supply setpoint.
S. Adjust Thermostats
Adjust the heating and indirect water heater thermostats
to their nal set points.
T. Field Conversion From Natural Gas to LP
Gas (Propane)
Phantom X models PHNTM399C and PHNTM500C
are factory shipped as natural gas builds and can be
eld converted to LP gas. Follow steps below for eld
conversion from natural gas to LP Gas.
1. Conversion of Phantom X models PHNTM399C
and PHNTM500C from one fuel to another is accomplished using the throttle screw on the gas valve. Figure 49 “Gas Valve Detail” shows the location of the throttle screw on the valve. Locate
the throttle screw on the boiler being converted.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard. Asphyxiation Hazard. This conversion should be performed by a qualied service agency in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, a re, an explosion or production of carbon monoxide may result causing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. The qualied service agency is responsible for proper conversion of these boilers. The conversion is not proper and complete until the operation of the converted appliance is checked as specied in this manual.
2. If conversion is being made on a new installation, install the boiler in accordance
with the installation instructions supplied with the boiler. If an installed boiler is being converted, connect the new gas supply to the boiler, check for gas leaks, and purge the gas line up to the boiler in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CAN/CSA B149.1 or the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.
3. Before attempting to start the boiler, make the
number of turns to the throttle screw called for in Table 37.
4. Start the boiler using operating instructions
in Figure 47. After the boiler is powered up with a call for heat, the boiler should go through the sequence of operation shown in Table 44. Even if the gas line has been completely purged of air, it
may take several tries for ignition before a ame
is established. If more than 2 tries for ignition are needed, it will be necessary to press the reset button to restart the boiler. If boiler does not light, turn the throttle screw counter-clockwise in 1/4 turn increments, allowing the boiler to make at least three tries for ignition at each setting, until the boiler lights.

IX. System Start-up (continued)
WARNING
Asphyxiation Hazard. The throttle adjustments shown in Table 37 are approximate. The nal throttle setting must be found using a combustion analyzer. Leaving the boiler in operation with a CO air free level in excess of 200 ppm could result in injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning.
5. After the burner lights, complete all steps outlined
in Paragraph O “Perform Combustion Test” before proceeding.
WARNING
Asphyxiation Hazard. These instructions include a procedure for adjusting the air-fuel mixture on this boiler. This procedure requires a combustion analyzer to measure the O2 (or CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO air free) levels in ue gas. Adjusting the air-fuel mixture without a proper combustion analyzer could result in unreliable boiler operation, personal injury, or death due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
6. Verify that the gas inlet pressure is between the
upper and lower limits shown in Table 33 with all gas appliances (including the converted boiler) both
on and off.
7. A label sheet is provided with the boiler for
conversions from natural gas to LP gas. Once conversion is completed, apply labels as follows:
a. Apply the “Rating Plate Label” adjacent to the
rating plate.
b. Apply the “Gas Valve Label” to a conspicuous area
on the gas valve.
c. Apply the “Boiler Conversion Label” to a
conspicuous surface on, or adjacent to, the outer boiler jacket. Fill in the date of the conversion and the name and address of the company making the conversion with a permanent marker.
U. Correcting Throttle Screw Mis-Adjustment
(if required)
Phantom X boilers are re tested at factory and gas
valve throttle screws are preset. However, if boiler
does not start when rst turned on, and, the problem
cannot be remedied following “Help” prompts on the boiler control display, it may be necessary to reset and readjust the throttle screw according to the following instructions.
1. Fully close throttle by turning throttle screw
clockwise until it fully stops.
2. Open throttle screw counter-clockwise the
number of full (360 degrees) and partial turns listed in Table 38 for natural gas or Table 39 for LP gas.
3. Follow instructions in Paragraph O “Perform
Combustion Test” to verify O2 (or CO2) is within the
range specied in Table 35 for natural gas or Table 36 for LP gas at both high re and low re.
WARNING
The throttle adjustment values shown in Table 38 and Table 39 are approximate. The nal throttle setting must be found using a combustion analyzer.

IX. System Start-up (continued)
WARNING
Asphyxiation Hazard. If the throttle is very far out of adjustment on the “rich” (counter-clockwise) side, the boiler burner may be running at 0% excess air or even with air deciency. Operating the boiler in this condition may cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
At 0% excess air the CO2 readings will be either 11.9% CO2 for natural gas or 13.8% CO2 for LP gas (O2 will be 0%) and CO air free level will be extremely high (well over 1000 PPM).
If the burner operates with air deciency, the following phenomena may be observed:
% CO2 will actually drop (% O2 will increase) as the throttle is turned counter-clockwise
% CO2 will actually increase (% O2 will drop) as the throttle is turned clockwise
If the boiler appears to operate with air deciency, shut down the boiler and follow instructions in Paragraph U “Correcting Throttle Screws Mis-Adjustment. Then, use a combustion analyzer to verify and adjust O2 (or CO2) and CO air free to values shown in Table 35 for natural gas or Table 36 for LP gas.
V. Controls Start-up Check List

X. Operation
A. Overview
1. R7910 Controller The R7910 Controller (Control) contains features
and capabilities which help improve heating system operation, and efficiency. By including unique
capabilities, the Control can do more, with less eld
wiring, and fewer aftermarket controls and components – improving the operation of both new and replacement
boiler installations.
2. Advanced Touch Screen Display
Home Screen
Boiler status and setup selections are available from
an easy to use, dual color, LCD Touch Screen Display. Over one hundred helpful information screens are provided to explain status information and setup functions. 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.
3. 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
ue gas temperatures to adjust fan speed.
4. HeatMatchTM Software
When the boiler is installed with a Crown PN 3501505 Zone Control Panel (Zone Control) into a multiple zone home the Control uses a patent pending HeatMatch Software to improve home comfort, increase component life and save energy. The R7910 Controller with the Zone Control detects active (turned “on”) zones, totals
btu/hrs expected and limits the boiler ring rate to “match” actual home demand. Instead of simply ring
to 100% in response to a cold supply water temperature the Control combines heat matching with supply water temperature control. The result is longer run times, dramatic reduction in boiler excessive cycling and
higher operating efciency. Avoiding extra cycling
78
saves customer fuel dollars (pre and post purge sends heat up stack) and saves wear and tear on the boiler.
Lowering the boiler’s ring rate saves fuel dollars by increasing the amount of ue gas condensation, always
the goal of condensing boiler installations.
5. Built-in Safety Control
The Control includes safety controls designed to ensure
safe and reliable operation. In addition to ame safety
controls the Control includes supply water temperature, differential water temperature, and stack temperature safety limits and stepped modulation responses. Boiler modulation is adjusted when required to help avoid loss of boiler operation due to exceeding limits.
Additionally, the Control accepts the eld installation
of optional auxiliary safety limits.
6. Outdoor Air Reset When selected the modulation rate 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.
7. Warm Weather Shutdown (WWSD) Some boilers are used primarily for heating buildings,
and the boilers can be automatically shutdown when the outdoor air temperature is warm. When outside air temperature is above the WWSD setpoint, this function will shut down the boiler and system pump.
8. 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 congured RS485 Modbus interface is
available for Energy Management System (EMS) monitoring when not used for Multiple Boiler Sequencer Peer-To-Peer Network. Consult factory if this interface must be used in addition to the boiler Peer-to-Peer Network.
9. Circulator Control The Control may be used to sequence the domestic
hot water, boiler and system circulators. Service rated relay outputs are wired to a line voltage terminal block
for easy eld connection. Simple parameter selections
allow all three pumps to respond properly to various hydronic piping arrangements including either a boiler or primary piped indirect water heater. Circulators are automatically run for a 20 second exercise period after not being used for longer than 7 days. Circulator exercise helps prevent pump rotor seizing.
10. Multiple Boiler Sequencer 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-to-peer communication.
X. Operation B. Supply Water Temperature Regulation (continued)
The peer-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 congured 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.
11. Modbus Communication Interface
A factory congured RS485 Modbus interface is
available for Energy Management System (EMS) monitoring when not used for Multiple Boiler Sequencer Peer-To-Peer Network. Consult factory if this interface must be used in addition to the boiler Peer-to-Peer Network.
B. Supply Water Temperature Regulation
1. Priority Demand
The Control accepts a call for heat (demand) from multiple places and responds according to it’s “Priority”. When more than 1 demand is present the higher priority demand is used to determine active boiler settings. For example, when Domestic Hot Water (DHW) has priority the setpoint, “Diff Above”, “Diff Below” and pump settings are taken from DHW selections. Active “Priority” is displayed on the “Boiler
Status” screen.

The boiler is connected to the peer-to-peer network. The boiler accepts demand from the Sequencer Master.
DHW call for heat is on and selected as the priority demand. DHW is always higher priority than Central Heat. It also has higher priority than the Sequencer Control when DHW priority is “enabled” and “Boiler Piped” IWH is selected.
Central Heat call for heat is on and there is no DHW demand or DHW priority time has expired.
Central Heat or DHW demand. (NOTE: May be user selected to be higher priority than Central Heat.)
Frost Protection is active and there is no other call for heat. Frost protection will be a higher priority than Sequencer Control if the Sequence Master has no active call for heat.
WWSD is active and the boiler will not respond to central heat demands. DHW demand is not blocked by WWSD.
2. Setpoint Purpose
The Control starts and stops the boiler and modulates the boiler input from minimum (MBH) to maximum (MBH) in order to heat water up to the active setpoint. The setpoint is determined by the priority (Central Heat or Domestic Hot Water) and as described in the following paragraphs.
3. Central Heat Setpoint
Upon a Central Heat call for heat the setpoint is either the user entered Central Heat Setpoint, or is automatically adjusted by a thermostat’s “Sleep” or “Away” modes and/or Outdoor Air Reset or, an Energy Management System (EMS) supplied 4-20mAdc setpoint.
4. Auxiliary Heat Setpoint
Auxiliary Heat is a second heating demand that may be used to serve either lower temperature radiation or warmer heat demands such as fan coils. Upon an Auxiliary Heat call for heat the setpoint is either the user entered Auxiliary Heat Setpoint or is automatically adjusted as a thermostat’s “sleep” or, Away Modes or, Outdoor Air Reset.
5. Outdoor Air Reset
If an outdoor temperature sensor is connected to the boiler and Outdoor Reset is enabled, the Central Heat and Auxiliary Heat setpoints will automatically adjusted downwards as the outdoor temperature increases. When the water temperature is properly matched to heating needs there is minimal chance of room air temperature overshoot. Excessive heat is not sent to the room heating elements by “overheated” (supply water temperature maintained too high a setting) water. Reset control saves energy by reducing room over heating, reducing boiler temperature & increasing combustion
efciency and, reducing standby losses as a boiler and
system piping cool down to ambient following room over heating.
6. Boost Time
When the Central Heat Setpoint is decreased by Outdoor Air Reset settings the Boost function can be enabled to increase the setpoint in the event that
central heat demand is not satised for longer than
the Boost Time minutes. The Boost feature increases the operating temperature setpoint by 10°F (5.6°C)
every 20 minutes (eld adjustable) the central heat demand is not satised. This process will continue until heat demand is satised (indoor air is at desired temperature). Once the heat demand is satised, the
operating setpoint reverts to the value determined by the Outdoor Air Reset settings. If Boost Time is zero, then the boost function is not used.
79
X. Operation C. Boiler Protection Features (continued)
7. Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Setpoint
This is the boiler supply water setpoint upon a DHW call for heat. Unless an Enviracom thermostat is connected
to the boiler, this set point will always be the xed
“DHW set point” value entered in the boiler control. If an Enviracom thermostat is connected, this may also be the thermostat’s “sleep” or “away” DHW set point. The optimal value of this setpoint is established based on the requirements of the indirect water heater.
8. 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.
9. “Setback” Setpoints
User adjustable Thermostat “Sleep” or “Away” Setback Setpoints are provided for both Central Heat and DHW demands. The Setback setpoint is used when the EnviraCOM thermostat is in “leave” or “sleep” modes. When setback is “on”, the thermostat setback setpoint shifts the reset curve to save energy while the home is in reduced room temperature mode. The Honeywell VisionPro IAQ (part number TH9421C1004) is a “setback” EnviraCOM enabled thermostat.
C. Boiler Protection Features
1. Supply Water Temperature High Limit
The boiler is equipped with a UL 353 listed boiler
control and UL 1434 listed high limit sensor. Response to supply temperature is as follows:
• Supply exceeds 190°F (87.7°C) – output (fan speed) reduced
• Supply exceeds 200°F (93.3°C) – recycle
• Supply exceeds 210°F (98.9°C) – manual reset hard lockout
Additionally, a soft lockout occurs if the supply
temperature rises to fast (i.e. faster than the degrees Fahrenheit per second limit).
2. High Limit Differential Temperature Limit
The control monitors temperature difference
between return and supply sensors. Response to temperature difference is as follows.
• Differential exceeds 43°F (23.9°C) – output (fan speed) reduced
• Differential exceeds 53°F (29.4°C) – recycle
80
• Differential exceeds 63°F (35°C) – shutdown; automatic restart after temperature difference has decreased and minimum off time has expired
3. Flue Temperature High Limit
The control monitors ue gas temperature sensor
located in vent outlet at rear of heat exchanger.
Response to ue temperature is as follows:
• Flue exceeds 184°F (84.4°C) – output (fan speed) is reduced
• Flue exceeds 194°F (90.0°C) – recycle
• Flue exceeds 204°F (95.6°C) – manual reset hard lockout
4. Flow Switch
The ow switch shuts down the boiler when there
is insufcient water ow in the boiler primary loop. When water ow is restored to a boiler-specic minimum value (see Table 24), the ow switch detects ow and automatically restarts the boiler. The ow switch is required and is factory provided.
5. Return Temperature Higher Than Supply Temperature (Inversion Limit)
If return water temperature exceeds supply water
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 ve
times, the boiler shuts down with a hard lockout. Condition is caused by incorrect supply and return piping connections.
6. Ignition Failure
The control monitors ignition using a burner mounted
ame sensor. Response on ignition failure is as
follows:
• Size 399: retries ve times, then soft lockout for
one hour
• Size 500: retries one time, then manual reset hard lockout
7. Automatic Reset Limit Devices
If any below listed limit opens, the boiler shuts
down and provides an open limit indication. The boiler will automatically restart once the limit closes. An external limit control with its own manual reset button requires pressing external limit reset button after limit closes even when connected to Auto Reset External Limit terminals.
• Sump pressure switch – opens if inadequate air
ow is detected during operation
• Condensate oat switch – opens if condensate
drain is blocked
• 24V LWCO (if used) – opens if low water
condition is detected
• Device(s) connected to Auto Reset External
Limit terminals
X. Operation D. Multiple Boiler Control Sequencer (continued)
8. Manual Reset Limit Devices
If any below listed limit opens, the boiler will restart
only after the limit closes and the boiler control manual reset button is depressed. During boiler start sequence, air proving switch must prove open before blower starts and closed after blower starts. If air proving switch is not in the required position, the control waits for a preset time period and then shuts down with a manual reset hard lockout.
• Thermal link – opens if rear of combustion chamber overheats; one time use device
• Burner door thermostat – opens if burner door overheats, manual reset button on thermostat
• High and low gas pressure switches (if used, size 500 only) – open if gas pressure is outside of preset limits, manual reset button on each switch
• Air proving switch – opens if inadequate air ow
is detected prior to ignition
• Device(s) connected to Man Reset External Limit terminals
9. Central Heating System Frost Protection
When enabled, Frost Protection starts the boiler and
system pump and res the boiler when low outside
air and low supply water temperatures are sensed. The Control provides the following control action when frost protection is enabled:
Table 43: Frost Protection

Stop
Temperatures
Outside Air > -18°F (-28°C)

FROST PROTECTION NOTE
The Control helps provide freeze protection for the boiler
water. Boiler ue gas condensate drain is not protected from
freezing. Since the Control only controls 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.
D. Multiple Boiler Control Sequencer
1. “Plug & Play” Multiple Boiler Control Sequencer
When multiple boilers are installed, the Control’s Sequencer may be used to coordinate and optimize the operation of up to eight (8) boilers. Boilers are connected into a “network” by simply “plugging in” standard ethernet cables into each boiler’s “Boiler-To­Boiler Communication” RJ45 connection.
2. Sequencer Master
A single Control is parameter selected to be the Sequencer Master. The call for heat, outdoor and header sensors, and common pumps are wired to the Sequencer Master “enabled” Control.
3. Lead/Slave Sequencing & Equalized Run Time
One boiler is a “Lead” boiler and the remaining networked boilers are “Slaves”. When demand is increasing, the
Lead boiler is the rst to start and the Slave boilers are
started in sequential order (1,2,3,…) until the demand
is satised. 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.
4. Improved Availability
The following features help improve the heat availability: a. 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 ring rate. This feature
allows continued coordinated sequencer control even after a header sensor failure.
b. “Stand Alone” Operation Upon Sequence Master
Failure: If the Sequence Master Control is powered down or disabled or if communication is lost between boilers, individual boilers may be setup to automatically resume control as a “stand alone” boiler.
c. Slave Boiler Rate Adjustment: Each slave boiler
continues to monitor supply, return and ue gas temperatures and modies the Sequence Master’s ring rate demand to help avoid individual boiler
faults, minimize boiler cycling and provide heat to
the building efciently.
d. Slave Boiler Status Monitoring: The Sequence Master
monitors slave boiler lockout status and automatically skip over disabled boilers when starting a new slave boiler.
5. 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 rst during winter months and then selected to
run last for the remainder of the year.
6. Multiple Demands
The Sequence Master responds to Central Heat, Auxiliary 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.
7. 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, res to satisfy the DHW setpoint.
81
X. Operation D. Multiple Boiler Control Sequencer (continued)
8. 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.
9. Optimized Boiler Modulation
Boiler ring rate is managed to increase smoothly
as boilers are started. For example, when a second
boiler is started the initial ring rate is 100%/2 or 50%, when the third boiler is started the ring rate starts at
200%/3 or 66%. After the initial start, the Sequence
Master develops a unison ring rate demand based on
it’s setpoint and sensed header temperature.
10. Modulating Condensing Boiler Control
During low loads, the Sequence Master limits ring
rates to a ‘Base Load Common Rate” to ensure peak
modulating condensing boiler operating efciency. Lower ring rates boost efciency by helping increase the amount of ue gas water vapor condensation. The
Control maintains a “Base Load Common Rate” until the last lag boiler is started. At this point, the “Base Load Common Rate” is released to allow boilers to modulated as required to meet heat load.
11. Advanced Boiler Sequencing
After there is a Call For Heat input, both header water
temperature and boiler ring 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 “Diff Above” and “Diff Below” settings. Also, in order to minimize temperature deviations, the control adjusts the number of boilers running based
on the ring 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.
12. 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) (eld adjustable).

Expected Heat Rate Adjustment Screens (Zone Panels with HeatMatch Software Only)
The Control is shipped with defaults that will provide improved operation. Adjustment is only required to optimize
setup.
The expected heat rate adjustment is used to better match boiler output to the home heating needs. After receiving a "call for heat" the Control rst uses the expected heat rate value to set a maximum heat rate. The maximum heat rate is the highest heat rate that the boiler can re to at that moment. The maximum heat rate is the summation of the expected heat rates for the active (turned on) zones. After establishing the maximum heat rate the Control then measures water temperature and res the boiler only as hard as required for the heat demand.
Example “call for heat” durations for a four zone house.
Maximum heat rate limits ring rate and prevents the Control from ring to 100% in response to a smaller zone demands.
Maximum Heat Rate:
Automatically adjusted
by the Control based on the size and number of zones calling for heat.
Actual Heat Rate:
Boiler is free to
modulate based on
temperature from

This parameter denes the highest modulation rate the Control will go to during a central heat call for heat. If the rated input of the installed home radiation is less than the maximum output of the boiler, change the Central Heat Maximum Expected Heat Rate (fan speed) setting to limit the boiler output accordingly.
Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Maximum Expected Heat Rate
This parameter denes the highest modulation rate the Control will go to during a Domestic Hot Water call for heat. If the rated input of the indirect water heater is less than the maximum output of the boiler, change the DHW Maximum Expected Heat Rate (fan speed) setting to limit the boiler output accordingly.
Auxiliary Maximum Expected Heat Rate
This parameter denes the highest modulation rate the Control will go to during the auxiliary heat call for heat. If the rated input of the Auxiliary Heat Zones is less than the maximum output of the boiler, change the Auxiliary Heat Maximum Expected Heat Rate (fan speed) setting to limit the boiler output accordingly.
Zone 1 Expected Heat Rate (typical for zone 1 through 16)
This parameter denes the highest modulation rate the Control will go to during the Zone 1 call for heat. If the rated input of the installed home radiation in zone 1 is less than the maximum output of the boiler, change the Zone 1 Expected Heat Rate (fan speed) setting to limit the boiler output accordingly.
Zone Release Time
After the Zone Release Time minutes and a zone has not been satised (thermostat opens) the measured heat loss will be released to increase to the Central Heat Maximum Heat Rate.
Minimum Heat Rate
This parameter is the lowest modulation rate the Control will go to during any call for heat.
Lightoff Heat Rate
This is the blower speed during ignition and ame stabilization periods.

Explanation:
Make sure indirect water heater and DHW pump are sized to maintain ow though boiler within limits shown in Table 12. This piping arrangement does not allow both the Slave 1’s boiler and domestic hot water pump to run at the same time. When call for Domestic Hot Water is received the DHW pump is turned on and the boiler pump is turned off. However, the system pumps may run to satisfy a central heat demand that is being satised by a different slave. The central heat demand is ignored by Slave 1 until the domestic hot water demand is ended. If domestic hot water priority is enabled and priority protection time is exceeded the domestic hot water pump turns off to allow the boiler pump to run.

Central Heat Setpoint
Target temperature for the central heat priority. Value also used by the outdoor air reset function.
Central Heat Thermostat “Sleep” or “Away” Setback Setpoint
Thermostat setback setpoint is used when the EnviraCOM thermostat is in “leave” or “sleep” modes and sensed at E-COM terminals D, R, and C. When setback is “on” the thermostat set­back setpoint shifts the reset curve to save energy while home is in a reduced room temperature mode. The reset curve is shifted by the difference between the High Boiler Water Temperature and the Thermostat Setback Setpoint. Honeywell VisionPro IAQ part number TH9421C1004 is a “setback” EnviraCOM enabled thermostat. When connected, it allows boiler water setback cost
savings.
Central Heat Diff Above
The boiler stops when the water temperature rises ‘Diff Above’ degrees above the setpoint.
Central Heat Diff Below
The boiler starts when the water temperature drops ‘Diff Below’ degrees below the setpoint.
Response Speed
This parameter adjusts the Central Heat temperature controller Proportion Integral Derivative (PID) values. Higher values cause a larger ring rate change for each degree of temperature change. If set too high ring rate “overshoots” required value, increases to high re causing the temperature to exceed the “Diff Above” setpoint and cycle the boiler unnecessarily. Lower values cause a smaller ring rate change for each degree of temperature change. If set too low, the ring rate response will be sluggish and temperature will wander away from setpoint.
Low Fire Hold Time
“Low Fire Hold Time” is the number of seconds the control will wait at low re modulation rate before being released to modulate. After ignition and ame stabilization periods the ring rate is held at low re for “Low Fire Hold Time”. This delay allows heat to travel out to the system and provide system feedback prior to the control modulating ring rate.
Modulation Sensor
Heat Demand may respond to the boiler’s Supply Temperature or Header Temperature sensors. When Header Sensor is selected the boiler is red in response to the sensor wired to Header
Sensor terminals.
NOTE: When Header Sensor is selected, also set Boiler Pump parameter to Header Sensor Demand/Combustion Air Damper.

Auxiliary Heat Diff Above
The boiler stops when the water temperature rises ‘Diff Above’ degrees above the setpoint.
Auxiliary Heat Diff Below
The boiler starts when the water temperature drops ‘Diff Below’ degrees below the setpoint.
Response Speed
This parameter adjusts the Auxiliary Heat temperature controller Proportion Integral Derivative (PID) values. Higher values cause a larger ring rate change for each degree of temperature change. If set too high ring rate “overshoots” required value, increases to high re causing the temperature to exceed the “Diff Above” setpoint and cycle the boiler unnecessarily. Lower values cause a smaller ring rate change for each degree of temperature change. If set too low, the ring rate response will be sluggish and temperature will wander away from setpoint.
Auxiliary Priority Over Central Heat
This parameter allows the Auxiliary Heat demand to be higher or lower priority than Central Heat demand. When both demands are active at the same time the Control uses the Setpoint, Diff Above and Diff Below for the demand that has priority. Disabled Auxiliary Heat is lower priority than Central Heat demand. Enable Auxiliary Heat is higher priority than Central Heat demand.
Auxiliary Heat Demand Source
The Control’s “DHW Temp Switch” input terminal may be used as a Domestic Hot Water (DHW) demand or Auxiliary Heat demand. When the Domestic Hot Water Demand Source is set to Zone Control and the Auxiliary Heat Demand Source is set to “DHW Terminal” an Auxiliary Heat Demand may be wired to the DHW Temp Switch terminals. This feature may be used even if a
Zone Control is not installed.
Zone Control Auxiliary Heat demand may only be wired to the Zone Control DHW Terminal Auxiliary Heat demand may be wired to the Zone Control or DHW Terminal.
Modulation Sensor
Heat Demand may respond to the boiler’s Supply Temperature or Header Temperature sensors. When Header Sensor is selected the boiler is red in response to the sensor wired to Header
Sensor terminals.
NOTE: When Header Sensor is selected, also set Boiler Pump parameter to Header Sensor Demand/Combustion Air Damper.
