Handling ceramic fiber materials
REMOVAL OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER LINING
WARNING
NOTICE
WARNING
The combustion chamber insulation in this appliance contains ceramic fiber material. Ceramic fibers can be converted to cristobalite in very high temperature applications. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded, “Crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).” Normal operating temperatures in this appliance are below the level to convert ceramic fibers to cristobalite. Abnormal operating conditions would have to be created to convert the ceramic fibers in this appliance to cristobalite.
The ceramic fiber material used in this appliance is an irritant; when handling or replacing the ceramic materials it is advisable that the installer follow these safety guidelines.
Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin and eyes.
• Use NIOSH certified dust respirator (N95). This type of respirator is based on the OSHA requirements for cristobalite at the time this document was written. Other types of respirators may be needed depending on the job site conditions. Current NIOSH recommendations can be found on the NIOSH website at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html. NIOSH approved respirators, manufacturers, and phone numbers are also listed on this website.
• Wear long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing, gloves, and eye protection.
Apply enough water to the combustion chamber lining to prevent airborne dust.
Remove the combustion chamber lining from the appliance and place it in a plastic bag for disposal.
Wash potentially contaminated clothes separately from other clothing. Rinse clothes washer
thoroughly.
NIOSH stated First Aid.
Eye: Irrigate immediately.Breathing: Fresh air.

Service Manual
Please read before proceeding
When servicing boiler –
• To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply before performing maintenance.
• To avoid severe burns, allow boiler to cool before performing maintenance.
Boiler operation –
• Do not block flow of combustion or ventilation air to the boiler.
• Should overheating occur or gas supply fail to shut off, do not turn off or disconnect electrical supply to circulator. Instead, shut off the gas supply at a location external to the appliance.
• Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. The possible damage to a flooded appliance can be extensive and present numerous safety hazards. Any appliance that has been under water must be replaced.
Boiler water –
• Thoroughly flush the system (without boiler connected) to remove sediment. The high-efficiency heat exchanger can be damaged by build-up or corrosion due to sediment.
• Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in the boiler system. Gaskets and seals in the system may be damaged. This can result in substantial property damage.
• Do not use “homemade cures” or “boiler patent medicines”. Serious damage to the boiler, personnel, and/or property may result.
• Continual fresh make-up water will reduce boiler life. Mineral buildup in the heat exchanger reduces heat transfer, overheats the stainless steel heat exchanger, and causes failure. Addition of oxygen carried in by makeup water can cause internal corrosion. Leaks in boiler piping must be repaired at once to prevent the introduction of makeup water.
Freeze protection fluids –
• NEVER use automotive antifreeze. Use only inhibited propylene glycol solutions which are specifically formulated for hydronic systems. Ethylene glycol is toxic and can attack gaskets and seals used in hydronic systems.

General Operation
How the boiler operates
The Knight wall mount boiler uses an advanced stainless steel heat exchanger and an electronic control module that allows fully condensing operation. The blower pulls in gas and air and pushes flue products out of the boiler through the heat exchanger and flue piping. The control module regulates blower speed to control boiler firing rate. The gas valve senses the amount of air flowing into the boiler and allows only the right amount of gas to flow.
How the control module operates
The Knight wall mount control module receives input from boiler sensors. The control module activates and controls the blower and gas valve to regulate heat input and switches boiler, DHW and system pumps on and off as needed. The user/installer programs the module to meet system needs by adjusting control parameters. These parameters set operating temperatures and boiler operating modes. Boiler operation can be based on boiler outlet water temperature, boiler return water temperature or system supply temperature, depending on the parameter setting.
Sequence of operation
Table 1-1 shows control module normal sequences of operation for space heating and DHW operation. The combined operation sequence is for a typical application, programmed to provide DHW priority.
Access modes
User
The user can adjust space heating and tank target temperatures by pressing the NAVIGATION dial when “SETPOINTS” is flashing at the bottom of the display. The date and time, and the temperature units can also be changed.
Installer
Most parameters are available only to the installer, accessible only by entering the installer password, see the Knight Wall Mount Service Manual.

Sequence of operation
OPERATION DISPLAY
1. Upon a call for heat, the gas pressure switch(es) must be closed.
2. Once the gas pressure switch(es) are closed, the control turns on the appropriate pumps (system and boiler pumps for space heating, DHW pump for DHW).
The flow switch and/or LWCO must close.
3. The control turns on power to the louver relay.
The louver proving switch, air pressure switch, and blocked
drain switch must close.
4. The control starts a 15 second prepurge cycle by initiating the
blower.
5. The control starts a 4 second trial for ignition by firing the spark
electrode and opening the gas valve.
6. If flame is not detected within 1 second after the sparking ends,
the control will perform a 10 second post-purge, then start another prepurge cycle and try to light the burner again. The control will perform a total of 4 attempts before locking out.
7. If flame is detected, it holds the firing rate steady for 5 seconds to let the flame stabilize, then it begins to modulate the firing rate based on a set point or some other command (such as a 0-10V BMS signal).

Sequence of operation (continued)
OPERATION DISPLAY
8. If the space heating call for heat is active, and the tank thermostat or sensor starts a DHW call for heat, the boiler will switch to the DHW mode. If programmed for normal DHW operation (not as a zone), the DHW pump will turn on first, then the boiler pump will turn off 2 seconds later.
This will divert the boiler’s outlet water from the heating system
and send it to the tank coil instead.
The control will then modulate to maintain the outlet
9. If the boiler is not part of a Cascade, and both the space heating and DHW calls for heat remain active long enough, the boiler will switch back and forth between the two heating modes until one of them is satisfied.
10. Once both calls for heat are satisfied, the control will turn off the burner. The blower will continue to run during a 10 second postpurge.
11. Any pumps that are running will continue to run for their respective pump delay times before turning off, unless programmed to remain on continuously.
A 60 second anti-cycle period will start, which will delay any
new call for heat until it times out.
12. In Standby, ready to start a new cycle.

Viewable and changeable control parameters
A: General
Date and Time
The control uses an internal clock for the night setback feature and for logging of events. For these features to work correctly, the clock must be set when the boiler is first installed or anytime the boiler has been powered off for more than four (4) hours. To set the clock, parameter A1 must be accessed.
Software Version
The software version allows the user to view the software version in use by the control. This software controls the operation of the boiler. When a new software version becomes available, the existing control can be replaced with a new control to update the software.
Software version is read only.
Temperature units (°C / °F)
The control can be configured to display temperature in either °C or °F. This parameter can be changed by the user or the installer by accessing parameter A3. The default is °F.
Space Heating (SH) and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Night Setback Offset
The unit’s internal clock can be set up to run at a lower set point temperature during unoccupied times. Both the space heating and DHW can be programmed for night setback. When in night setback, the control reduces the set point by a fixed amount. For space heating, it subtracts the space heating night setback offset from each of the SH user set points (parameters B1, B6, and B9), or the calculated outdoor reset set point (if lower). For DHW, it subtracts the DHW night setback offset from the tank set point (parameter E2). NOTE: The DHW night setback will not work without a tank sensor installed.
The installer may adjust the space heating night setback offset by accessing A4 and the DHW night setback offset by accessing parameter A7. The minimum setting is 0°F (0°C) and the maximum setting is 90°F (50°C).
Space Heating (SH) and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Night Setback On Times
This is the time in which the SH Night Setback Offset becomes active. There are 7 start times and 7 stop times each for the space heating and DHW night setback features. Both may be set to any time within a 7-day week. These settings are referred to as triggers. Multiple start or stop triggers may be set within a single day, if desired. When a start trigger and a stop trigger are set to the same time, the stop trigger has priority. The installer may adjust the space heating night setback start triggers by accessing parameter A5. The DHW start triggers in parameter A8. This screen shows the start trigger number, the day of the week, and the time of day.
1. When the screen is first accessed, start trigger number 1 is shown. If a different trigger number is desired, the installer can rotate the NAVIGATION dial until the desired trigger number is displayed. Once the desired trigger number is selected, the installer can press the SCROLL knob and the day of the week will start to flash.
2. The installer can adjust the day of the week to the one he wishes to set. Once the day is set, the installer can press the NAVIGATION dial and the hour will begin to flash.
3. After setting the hour, the installer can press the SCROLL knob and the minutes will flash. Once all settings have been made, the installer can press the RIGHT SELECT [SAVE] key. The installer can now select a different trigger and adjust the settings for that trigger.
4. Once all adjustments are made, the installer can press the RIGHT SELECT [SAVE] key to save all of the new settings and return to the A menu, or press the LEFT SELECT [EXIT] key to return to the A menu without saving the changes.
Space Heating (SH) and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Night Setback Off Times
The corresponding space heating night setback stop triggers are set by accessing parameter A6. The stop triggers for the DHW night setback feature can be adjusted by accessing parameter A9. The adjustment procedure for these parameters is identical to the space heating start triggers described above.
CAUTION
Before changing parameters, note the settings so that the unit can be returned to its original operating parameters.
NOTICE
The internal clock does not adjust for Daylight Savings Time and therefore, will require a manual adjustment.
Please note that the brackets ([]) denote screen status.

Service Mode Delay
By pressing the pin button on the front of the display for five (5) seconds, the control will be placed in Service Mode. This will override all other heat demands. The Service Mode allows the installer to set the unit to either maximum firing rate or minimum firing rate for the purpose of combustion analysis. The delay sets the length of time the boiler will stay in the Service Mode if no keys have been pressed before going back to its original state. This parameter can only be changed by the installer by accessing parameter D1. The time range of this parameter is 0 to 30 minutes. The default value is 20 minutes.
Freeze Protection Pump On
The SMART SYSTEM control will turn on the boiler and system pump outputs whenever the inlet temperature drops below this setting. This is done to prevent the water in the heat exchanger from freezing. Certain low-temperature applications (such as snow melt) can operate at temperatures around freezing, so this setting needs to be lowered in these cases. The installer can adjust the temperature at which the pump outputs are turned on by accessing parameter D2. The minimum setting is -4°F (-20°C), and the maximum setting is 45°F (7.2°C). The default setting is 45°F (7.2°C).
Freeze Protection Burner On
If running the pumps does not prevent the inlet temperature from falling closer to freezing, the SMART SYSTEM control will fire the burner at low fire. The installer can adjust the temperature at which the burner fires by adjusting parameter D3. The minimum setting is -4°F (-20°C), and the maximum setting is 45°F (7.2°C). The default setting is 37°F (2.8°C).
Freeze Protection Burner Differential
Once the burner has started firing due to a low inlet temperature, the inlet temperature must increase by this amount before the burner turns back off. The installer can adjust this differential by accessing parameter D4. The minimum setting is 0°F, and the maximum is 20°F. The default setting is 5°F (2.8°C).
Display Timeout
This is the time in which the display remains illuminated. The range is 10 seconds to 10 minutes. The default is 3 minutes.
B: Temperature Settings
Space Heating (SH1, SH2, SH3) Set Point
There are three (3) individual user set points for better zone control. These are listed as SH1 Set Point through SH3 Set Point. If multiple set points are calling for heat the highest set point has priority. The range is 32°F (0°C) to 190°F (88°C). The default is 125°F (52°C).
Space Heating (SH) Minimum Set Point
The SH minimum set point sets the minimum water temperature set point that can be used for space heating operation. The user or installer will not be able to program the control with a lower SH set point. This parameter can only be changed by the installer by accessing parameter B2. The temperature range of this parameter is 32°F (0°C) to 190°F (88°C). The default value is 70°F (21°C).
Space Heating (SH) Maximum Set Point
The SH maximum set point sets the maximum water temperature set point that can be used for space heating. The user or installer will not be able to program the control with a higher SH set point. This parameter can only be changed by the installer by accessing parameter B3. The temperature range of this parameter is 32°F (0°C) to 190°F (88°C). The default value is 185°F (85°C).
SH1 - SH3 Offset Set Point
The SH offset sets how many degrees above set point the temperature has to go before the boiler will shut off. This parameter can only be changed by the installer by accessing parameters B4, B7 and B10. The temperature range of these parameters is 0°F to 20°F. The default value is 10°F.
SH1 - SH3 Differential Set Point
The SH differential sets how many degrees below the offset the temperature has to drop before the boiler turns back on. This parameter can only be changed by the installer by accessing parameters B5, B8 and B11. The range is 0°F to 60°F. The default is 20°F.
CAUTION
Mixing valves are required for the protection of any low temperature loops.

E: DHW Settings
DHW Boiler Set Point
When a DHW call for heat becomes active, the control will use the DHW boiler set point to determine the firing rate of the boiler based on the boiler outlet water temperature.
This parameter can be changed by the installer by accessing parameter E1. The temperature range of this parameter is 60°F (16°C) to 190°F (88°C). The default value is 180°F (82°C).
DHW Tank Set Point
By installing a tank sensor, the SMART SYSTEM control can perform the tank thermostat function. The SMART SYSTEM control automatically detects the presence of this sensor, and generates a DHW call for heat when the tank temperature drops below the tank set point differential (parameter E3), and finishes the call for heat when the tank temperature reaches tank set point. This parameter can be changed by the installer by accessing parameter E2. The temperature range of this parameter is 68°F (20°C) to 190°F (88°C). The default value is 125°F (52°C).
Tank Set Point Differential
When a tank sensor is installed, the tank temperature must drop this amount below the tank set point (parameter E2) before the heater will turn on. The installer can adjust this setting by accessing parameter E3. The minimum setting is 0° (0°C), and the maximum is 40°F (22°C). The default setting is 6°F (3°C).
Boiler Set Point Offset
This parameter reflects the degrees above DHW boiler set point the temperature has to go before the boiler will shut off. The range is 0°F (0°C) to 20°F (13°C). The default setting is 10°F (6°C).
Boiler Set Point Differential
This parameter reflects the degrees below DHW boiler offset the temperature has to go before the boiler shuts off. The range is 0°F (0°C) to 60°F (33°C). The default setting is 20°F (13°C).
SH/DHW Switching Time
When a boiler has a space heating demand and it receives a DHW demand, it will immediately switch to the DHW demand and start a timer. Once the timer has expired, the boiler will switch back to the space heating demand and start another timer. Once this timer expires, it will switch back to the DHW demand. The installer can adjust the length of time the boiler will service the space heating demand by accessing parameter E6. The minimum setting is 0 minutes and the maximum setting is 200 minutes. The default time is 30 minutes.
DHW/SH Switching Time
When a boiler has a DHW demand and it receives a space heating demand, the SMART SYSTEM control will start a timer. Once the timer expires, it will stop the DHW demand and service the space heating demand. The installer can adjust the length of time the boiler will service the DHW demand by accessing parameter E7. The minimum setting is 0 minutes and the maximum setting is 200 minutes. The default setting is 30 minutes.
Tank Minimum Set Point
This setting controls the minimum user set point for the tank temperature. The installer can adjust this by accessing parameter E8. The minimum setting is 60°F (16°C) and the maximum setting is the maximum tank set point (parameter E9).
Tank Maximum Set Point
This setting controls the maximum user set point for the tank temperature. The installer can adjust this by accessing parameter E9. The minimum setting is the minimum tank set point (parameter E8) and the maximum setting is 185°F (85°C).
DHW Type
This parameter determines whether the Knight wall mount boiler treats the indirect DHW tank as a separate load, or as a zone on the primary loop. When programmed as a separate load, the boiler will turn on the DHW pump and then turn off the boiler pump when an indirect DHW demand begins. When programmed as a zone, the boiler will turn on the DHW pump, leave the boiler pump on and raise the system set point to the DHW boiler set point (parameter E1), if it is higher than the current SH set point.
This setting may be changed by the installer by accessing parameter E10. The choices are NORMAL and ZONE. The default setting is NORMAL.
Fan Speed Limiting for Indirect DHW Tank
This parameter determines the maximum fan speed (and therefore the maximum rate) to be used when heating an indirect DHW tank. This setting may be used when the tank is unable to accept all of the BTU’s available from the boiler. This parameter may be adjusted by the installer by accessing parameter E11. The default value is the maximum fan speed for that model.

Figure 1-1 Outdoor Air Reset Curve
F: Outdoor Reset
The option of controlling up to three (3) different outdoor resets for low outdoor temperatures is available.
Low Outdoor Temperature
When the outdoor air temperature drops below this point, the water temperature will be at parameters F3, F8 and F13 (FIG. 1-1). However, if the user set point is set lower, the water temperature will be limited by the user set point instead. This parameter can be changed by the installer by accessing parameter F1. The temperature range of this parameter is -40°F (-40°C) to 104°F (40°C). The default value is 25°F (-4°C).
High Outdoor Temperature
When the outdoor air temperature rises to or above this point, the water temperature will be at parameters F4, F9 and F14 (FIG. 1-1). This parameter can be changed by the installer by accessing parameter F2. The temperature range of this parameter is -40°F (-40°C) to 104°F (40°C). The default value is 70°F (21°C).
SH1 - SH3 Set Point at Low Outdoor Temperature
When the outdoor air temperature drops below this point, the water temperature will be at this setting (FIG. 1-1). However, if the user set point is set lower, the water temperature will be limited by the user set point instead. These parameters can be changed by the installer by accessing parameters F3, F8 and F13. The temperature range of this parameter is -40°F (-40°C) to 104°F (40°C). The default value is 25°C (-4°C).
SH1 - SH3 Set Point at High Outdoor Temperature
When the outdoor air temperature rises to or above this point, the water temperature will be at this setting (FIG. 1-1). These parameters can be changed by the installer by accessing F4, F9 and F14. The temperature range of this parameter is -40°F (­40°C) to 104°F (40°C). The default value is 70°F (21°C).
Outdoor Air Shutdown (SH1 - SH3)
When the outdoor temperature rises above this point, the control will block all SH demands (DHW demands will still be active). These parameters can be changed by the installer by accessing parameters F5, F10 and F15. The temperature range of this parameter is 32°F (0°C) to 104°F (40°C). The default value is 70°F (21°C).

G: Anti-Cycling
Anti-Cycling Time
Once a SH demand has been satisfied, a set amount of time must elapse before the control will respond to a new SH demand. The control will block the new heat demand and anti-cycling will be shown in the display until the time has elapsed or the water temperature drops below parameter G2. This parameter can be changed by the installer by accessing parameter G1. The time range for this parameter is 0 minutes to 10 minutes. The default value is 1 minute.
Anti-Cycling Override Differential
The control will bypass the anti-cycling time if the water temperature drops too quickly. The control will use the water temperature the boiler was at when it shut off as the starting point. If the temperature drops below the temperature parameter the control will abort anti-cycling and allow the boiler to fire. This parameter can be changed by the installer by accessing parameter G2. The temperature range of this parameter is 0°F (0°C) to 54°F (30°C). The default value is 10°F (6°C).
Ramp Delay (Enable / Disable)
This parameter allows the installer to enable or disable the SH ramp delay by accessing parameter G4.
Outdoor Air Shutdown Differential (SH1 - SH3)
The outdoor air shutdown differential parameter is the number of degrees below parameters F5, F10 and F15 the outdoor air temperature must go before the boiler will respond to a SH demand. These parameters can be changed by the installer by accessing parameters F6, F11 and F16. The temperature range of this parameter is 0°F (0°C) to 90°F (50°C). The default value is 10°F (6°C).
Shift Reset Curve (SH1 - SH3)
There is a shift reset curve for each outdoor reset. The shift reset curve parameter shifts the actual set point above the calculated set point the number of degrees in this parameter. These parameters can be changed by the installer by accessing parameter F7, F12 and F17. The temperature range of this parameter is -17°F (-27°C) to 18°F (-8°C). The default value is 0°F (0°C). This feature will be active if this parameter is set to anything other than 0°F (0°C).
Boost Temperature
If a SH demand lasts longer than the programmed time delay setting (F19) and there have been no DHW demands, the control will increase the water temperature set point by the amount in this parameter. If the SH demand continues through another time period, the set point will be increased again. This will continue until either the SH demand ends, a maximum of 20 increases has occurred, or the maximum set point has been reached. Once the SH demand has been satisfied the set point will revert back to its calculated setting. The boost temperature can be changed by the installer by accessing parameter F18. The temperature range of this parameter is 0°F (0°C) to 25°F (-4°C). The default value is 0°F (0°C). This feature will be active if this parameter is set to anything other than 0°F (0°C).
Boost Time
The boost time parameter sets the amount of time that must elapse with a SH demand before the water temperature set point will be increased. This parameter can be changed by the installer by accessing parameter F19. The time range for this parameter is 0 minute to 50 minutes. The default value is 0 minutes.

H: Control modes
Controlling Sensor
The SH controlling sensor parameter selects the sensor the control will use to regulate the boiler firing rate. This parameter is adjustable by the installer by accessing parameter H1. The sensor selections are as follows: The outlet sensor regulates the firing rate based on the outlet water temperature of the boiler and the inlet sensor regulates the firing rate based on the inlet water temperature of the boiler. If the outlet sensor is selected, and the optional system supply sensor is connected, the control will regulate the firing rate based on the system supply sensor temperature. The default sensor is the Outlet Sensor.
BMS Thermostat Input (Active / Inactive)
When controlling the boiler through the 0 - 10V BMS input or through ModBus, the boiler can be enabled one of two ways. With parameter H2 set to ACTIVE, the boiler will enabled by closing the Room Thermostat 1 input. With parameter H2 set to INACTIVE, the boiler will be enabled by the voltage level on the 0 - 10V input (in the case of 0 - 10V BMS control), or the 0 - 10V input value received through ModBus. The default value is INACTIVE.
BMS (Active / Inactive)
The set point or modulation of the boiler may be controlled through the 0 - 10V BMS input or through ModBus. When parameter H3 is set to INACTIVE, the 0 - 10V input will be ignored. When set to ACTIVE, the set point or modulation will be controlled by the voltage on the 0 - 10V input (in the case of 0 - 10V BMS control), or the 0 - 10V input value received through ModBus. The default value is INACTIVE.
Figure 1-2 Ramp Delay Interval
When finished, the installer can press the RIGHT SELECT [SAVE] key to store the new settings, or the LEFT SELECT [EXIT] key to return to the G parameter list without saving the changes. The delay value can be set between 0 minutes and 120 minutes. The limit value can be set between 0% and 100%.
SH Ramp Delay
The SMART SYSTEM control can be programmed to limit the firing rate for a fixed period of time at the start of a space heating demand. There are six (6) possible limits, each with their own time delay. The first limit applies as soon as the burner starts. Once its time delay expires, the second limit is applied and its timer begins. The control steps through these limits until the 6th (sixth) limit expires. Note, however, that the rate can be held to less than 100% if so desired. The installer can adjust the firing limits and time delays by accessing parameter G4. Once this parameter is selected, the screen will show the step number, the time delay for that step and the limit value corresponding with that step. If the installer wishes to adjust one of the values in that step, he can press the NAVIGATION dial until the value he wishes to change is flashing. The installer can then rotate the NAVIGATION dial to adjust that value. If the installer presses the RIGHT SELECT [SAVE] key while the limit value is flashing, the step value will flash again. The installer can then select the next step and adjust the delay and limit values corresponding with that step.

ModBus (Active / Inactive)
When BMS is set to ACTIVE (see BMS Active / Inactive) and the boiler is being controlled through ModBus, set parameter H4 to ACTIVE. Otherwise, set the ModBus parameter to INACTIVE. Note that the boiler can still be monitored by ModBus with this parameter set to INACTIVE. The default value is INACTIVE.
Modbus T/O (Timeout)
The amount of time the unit controls will wait to receive a communication string from the BMS controller before reverting back to its own internal parameters. This parameter is adjustable by the installer by accessing parameter H5. The default value is 10 seconds.
Cascade Address
The boiler designated as the Leader needs to be programmed with address 0. All the Member boilers require addresses from 1 to 7, and the addresses must be different for each Member. The addresses can be in any order, regardless of the order in which the units are wired together. This parameter is adjustable by the installer by accessing parameter H6. The outdoor air (if used) and system supply sensor must be connected to the Leader boiler. The default address is 1.
If installing the boilers in an existing system, the new boilers should be programmed as the Leader and/or the higher number addresses.
Cascade Type (L/L / EFF)
There are two (2) options for the way a Cascade divides the load between its heaters. The first is Lead/Lag, designated at L/L in the menu. This method is used when it is desired to have the least amount of total flow through the boilers. This method works much like the current Cascade, except it will modulate the last two (2) boilers, instead of just the last boiler. This change provides for smoother transitions when a boiler turns on or off. When the last boiler reaches 100% and the calculated load is still increasing, it will start the next boiler at 20% and reduce the previous boiler to 80%, thus eliminating the sudden jump in total output of the Cascade. Therefore, the dead-zone we had in the original Cascade is no longer necessary. When the calculated load is decreasing and the last boiler gets down to 20% fire, it will hold it there and start lowering the firing rate on the next-to-last boiler. When the next-to-last boiler reaches 35%, it will turn the last boiler off and raise the rate of the next-to-last boiler to 55%, thus eliminating the sudden drop in total output of the Cascade.
The other Cascade divider method is Efficiency Optimization, designated as EFF in the menu. This method is used, as the name implies, when it is desired to have the most efficient system. When the first boiler reaches a certain rate (default = 90%), it lowers its rate to 45% and turns on the next boiler at 45%. The two (2) boilers then modulate at the same rate.
As the calculated load increases further and both boilers ramp up to 90%, it lowers the rate of the first two (2) boilers to 60% and brings the next boiler on at 60%. The three (3) boilers then modulate together. As the calculated load decreases, the boilers will reach a lower threshold (default = 35%), at which time the last boiler (the third in our example) will turn off and the Cascade will increase the rates of the remaining boilers to provide the equivalent total output as before ((3 x 35%) / 2 =
52.5% in our example).
Maximum Cascade Outlet Set Point
This parameter determines the set point used by the individual boilers in a Cascade. When a boiler is commanded to fire by the Leader boiler, it will attempt to achieve this temperature at its outlet. The Leader boiler will limit the modulation of the last boiler to fire in order to hold the temperature at the system supply sensor to the user set point. If any of the boiler outlet temperatures reach the maximum cascade set point, the boiler will then modulate down on its own in order to keep its outlet temperature within the maximum cascade set point. Therefore, this parameter can be used to limit the outlet temperatures of all the boilers in a Cascade. Note that this parameter does not apply when the boiler is heating an indirect DHW tank. This parameter is adjustable by the installer by accessing parameter H8. The default maximum cascade set point is 185°F (85°C).
Cascade Offset
This parameter determines how much the temperature must go above set point before the lead boiler will turn off. This parameter can be adjusted by the installer by accessing parameter H9. The default value is 10°F (6°C).
Cascade Off-On Differential
This parameter determines how much the temperature must go below the turn off temperature (Set point + Offset) before the lead boiler turns on. This parameter can be adjusted by the installer by accessing parameter H10. The default value is 20°F (11°C).
Minimum On/Off Time
In order to prevent units in a Cascade from short cycling, this parameter defines the minimum ON and OFF time for each unit. The installer can adjust this time by accessing parameter H11. The minimum setting is 0 seconds and the maximum setting is 10 minutes. The default is 30 seconds.
Minimum Next On Time
In order to reduce the risk of temperature overshoot with a Cascade, this parameter defines the minimum time delay from starting one unit until the next unit may be started. The installer can adjust this time delay by accessing parameter H12. The minimum setting is 0 minutes and the maximum setting is 10 minutes. The default is 60 seconds.

DHW Pump Anti-Seize Delay
If the boiler pump does not run for 24 hours, it will be turned on briefly to prevent it from seizing. The length of time it runs is determined by parameter I4. The range of this setting is 0 seconds to 40 minutes. The default setting is 20 seconds.
System Pump Anti-Seize Delay
If the boiler pump does not run for 24 hours, it will be turned on briefly to prevent it from seizing. The length of time it runs is determined by parameter I4. The range of this setting is 0 seconds to 40 minutes. The default setting is 20 seconds.
J: BMS
BMS Type (Power / Set Point)
When programmed for BMS control through the 0 - 10V BMS input or through ModBus, the 0 - 10V signal can be interpreted as either a modulation command or a set point. When parameter J1 is set to POWER, the 0 - 10V signal will control the modulation. When set to SETPOINT, the 0 - 10V signal will control the SH set point. The default setting is POWER.
Volts at Minimum
When programmed for BMS control through the 0 - 10V BMS input or through ModBus, parameter J2 should be set to the minimum voltage signal sent to the SMART SYSTEM control. The range of this parameter is 0.0V to the Volts at Minimum value (parameter J3). The default setting is 2.0V.
Volts at Maximum
When programmed for BMS control through the 0 - 10V BMS input or through ModBus, parameter J3 should be set to the maximum voltage signal sent to the SMART SYSTEM control. The range of this parameter is the Minimum value (parameter J2) to 10.0V. The default value is 10.0V.
Rate at Minimum Volts
When programmed for BMS control through the 0 - 10V BMS input or through ModBus and the BMS Type is programmed as POWER, the modulation percentage represented by the Volts at Minimum parameter (J2) is set by parameter J4. The minimum value is 0% and the maximum is the Power at Maximum Volts setting J5. The default value is 20%.
Rate at Maximum Volts
When programmed for BMS control through the 0 - 10V BMS input or through ModBus and the BMS Type is programmed as POWER, the modulation percentage represented by the Volts at Maximum parameter (J3) is set by parameter J5. The minimum value is the Power at Minimum Volts setting J4 and the maximum is 100%. The default value is 100%.
I: Circulation pumps
System Pump Delay
The system pump delay parameter sets the length of time the system pump (if connected) will run after a SH demand has been satisfied. Setting the delay time to 0 will disable the pump. This parameter is adjustable by the installer by accessing parameter I1. The time range for this parameter is 0 minutes to 40 minutes. The default time is 30 seconds.
Boiler Pump Delay
The SH pump delay parameter sets the length of time the boiler pump will run after a SH demand has been satisfied. Setting the delay time to 0 will disable the pump. This parameter is adjustable by the installer by accessing parameter I2. The time range for this parameter is 0 minutes to 40 minutes. The default time is 30 seconds.
DHW Pump Delay
The DHW pump delay parameter sets the length of time the DHW pump (if connected) will run after a DHW demand has been satisfied. Setting the delay time to 0 will disable the pump. This parameter is adjustable by the installer by accessing parameter I3. The time range for this parameter is 0 minutes to 40 minutes. The default time is 30 seconds.
Boiler Pump Anti-Seize Delay
If the boiler pump does not run for 24 hours, it will be turned on briefly to prevent it from seizing. The length of time it runs is determined by parameter I4. The range of this setting is 0 seconds to 40 minutes. The default setting is 20 seconds.
Boiler Pump Minimum Voltage
The speed of the boiler pump can be controlled by the SMART SYSTEM control in order to maintain a minimum ΔT through the heat exchanger. Thus, as the firing rate decreases, the speed of the boiler pump can decrease as well. The SMART SYSTEM control outputs a 0 - 10V signal to the boiler pump to control its speed. Parameter I5 determines the minimum voltage given to the boiler pump, thereby setting its minimum speed. The range of this setting is 2.5V to 10V. The default setting is 3.5V.
System Pump Type (CFH / WWSD) CFH = Call for Heat, WWSD = Warm Weather Shutdown
The system pump can be programmed to operate in response to any of the Room Thermostat inputs, or to run continuously until the boiler goes into Outdoor Shutdown. To program the system pump to operate only with a space heating call for heat, set parameter I6 to CFH. To program the system pump to run continuously until outdoor shutdown starts, set parameter I6 to WWSD. The default setting is CFH.

The minimum value is 32°F (0°C) and the maximum is the Set Point at Maximum Volts setting J7. The default value is 70°F (21°C).
Set Point at Maximum Volts
When programmed for BMS control through the 0 - 10V BMS input or through ModBus and the BMS Type is programmed as SETPOINT, the set point represented by the Volts at Maximum parameter (J4) is set by parameter J7. The minimum value is the Set Point at Minimum Volts setting J6 and the maximum is 190°F (88°C). The default value is 180°F (82°C).
On Volts
When programmed for BMS control through the 0 - 10V BMS input or through ModBus and the BMS Thermostat Input is set to INACTIVE, parameter J8 determines the 0 - 10V BMS input voltage at which the boiler is enabled. The minimum value is
0.5V and the maximum is 10.0V. The default value is 2.0V.
Off Differential Volts
When programmed for BMS control through the 0 - 10V BMS input or through ModBus and the BMS Thermostat Input is set to INACTIVE, parameter J9 determines how far below the On Volts setting J8 the 0 - 10V BMS input voltage must be in order to disable the boiler. The minimum value is 0.2V and the maximum is the On Volts setting J8. The default value is 1.0V.

Service Manual
Follow the Service and maintenance procedures given throughout this manual and in component literature shipped with the boiler. Failure to perform the service and maintenance could result in damage to the boiler or system. Failure to follow the directions in this manual and component literature could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.
The boiler should be inspected annually only by a qualified service technician. In addition, the maintenance and care of the boiler designated in Table 2-1 and explained on the following pages must be performed to assure maximum boiler efficiency and reliability. Failure to service and maintain the boiler and system could result in equipment failure.
Electrical shock hazard – Turn off power to the boiler before any service operation on the boiler except as noted otherwise in this instruction manual. Failure to turn off electrical power could result in electrical shock, causing severe personal injury or death.
Address reported problems
1. Inspect any problems reported by the owner and correct before proceeding.
Inspect boiler area
1. Verify that boiler area is free of any combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
2. Verify that air intake area is free of any of the contaminants listed in Section 1 of the Knight Wall Mount Installation and Operation Manual. If any of these are present in the boiler intake air vicinity, they must be removed. If they cannot be removed, reinstall the air and vent lines per this manual and the Knight Wall Mount Installation and Operation Manual.
Inspect boiler interior
1. Remove the front access cover and inspect the interior of the boiler.
2. Vacuum any sediment from inside the boiler and components. Remove any obstructions.
Clean condensate trap
1. Remove the clean out cap on the bottom of the trap. Let the condensate and any debris drain out.
2. Fill with fresh water until the water begins to pour out of the drain.
3. Replace the clean out cap and resume operation.
Eliminate all system or boiler leaks. Continual fresh makeup water will reduce boiler life. Minerals can build up in sections, reducing heat transfer, overheating heat exchanger, and causing heat exchanger failure. Leaking water may also cause severe property damage.
1. Inspect all water and gas piping and verify to be leak free.
2. Look for signs of leaking lines and correct any problems found.
3. Check gas line using the procedure found in Section 7 - Gas Connections of the Knight Wall Mount Installation and Operation Manual.
Check all piping for leaks
The condensate trap must be filled with water during all times of boiler operation to avoid flue gas emission from the condensate drain line. Failure to fill the trap could result in severe personal injury or death.

Flue vent system and air piping
1. Visually inspect the entire flue gas venting system and air piping for blockage, deterioration or leakage. Repair any joints that show signs of leakage. Verify that air inlet pipe is connected and properly sealed.
2. Verify that boiler vent discharge and air intake are clean and free of obstructions.
Failure to inspect for the above conditions and have them repaired can result in severe personal injury or death.
Check water system
1. Verify all system components are correctly installed and
operational.
2. Check the cold fill pressure for the system. Verify it is
correct (must be a minimum of 12 psi).
3. Watch the system pressure as the boiler heats up (during
testing) to ensure pressure does not rise too high. Excessive pressure rise indicates expansion tank sizing or performance problem.
4. Inspect automatic air vents and air separators. Remove
air vent caps and briefly press push valve to flush vent. Replace caps. Make sure vents do not leak. Replace any leaking vents.
Check expansion tank
1. Expansion tanks provide space for water to move in and
out as the heating system water expands due to temperature increase or contracts as the water cools. Tanks may be open, closed or diaphragm or bladder type. See Section 6 - Hydronic Piping of the Knight Wall Mount Installation and Operation Manual for suggested best location of expansion tanks and air eliminators.
Check boiler relief valve
1. Inspect the relief valve and lift the lever to verify flow.
Before operating any relief valve, ensure that it is piped with its discharge in a safe area to avoid severe scald potential. Read Section 6 - Hydronic Piping of the Knight Wall Mount Installation and Operation Manual before proceeding further.
Safety relief valves should be re-inspected AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS, by a licensed plumbing contractor or authorized inspection agency, to ensure that the product has not been affected by corrosive water conditions and to ensure that the valve and discharge line have not been altered or tampered with illegally. Certain naturally occurring conditions may corrode the valve or its components over time, rendering the valve inoperative. Such conditions are not detectable unless the valve and its components are physically removed and inspected. This inspection must only be conducted by a plumbing contractor or authorized inspection agency – not by the owner. Failure to re-inspect the boiler relief valve as directed could result in unsafe pressure buildup, which can result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.
Following installation, the valve lever must be operated AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR to ensure that waterways are clear. Certain naturally occurring mineral deposits may adhere to the valve, rendering it inoperative. When manually operating the lever, water will discharge and precautions must be taken to avoid contact with hot water and to avoid water damage. Before operating lever, check to see that a discharge line is connected to this valve directing the flow of hot water from the valve to a proper place of disposal. Otherwise severe personal injury may result. If no water flows, valve is inoperative. Shut down the boiler until a new relief valve has been installed.
2. After following the above warning directions, if the relief valve weeps or will not seat properly, replace the relief valve. Ensure that the reason for relief valve weeping is the valve and not over-pressurization of the system due to expansion tank waterlogging or undersizing.

Combustion Analysis Procedure
1. Turn the main power off to the boiler.
2. Remove the flue temperature sensor from the flue pipe connection. Note: Combustion measurements will be made at this point.
3. Turn the main power on to the boiler.
4. Place the boiler into the active position by pressing the RIGHT SELECT [ON] key (see page 7).
5. Locate the pinhole button below the RESET button on the display board (see page 7). Insert a thin wire (such as a paper clip) into the hole and press the button once and hold for 5 seconds to place the boiler into Service Mode. In Service Mode the boiler will fire at ignition speed and will then modulate up to full fire.
6. Insert the probe from a combustion analyzer into the hole left by the removal of the flue temperature sensor.
7. Once the boiler has modulated up to full fire, measure the combustion. The values should be in the range listed in Table 3-6 above. The CO levels should be less than 150 ppm for a properly installed unit.
If the combustion is not within the specified range, reference the chart below for possible causes and corrective actions.
Table 3-5 Troubleshooting Chart - Combustion Levels
POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
Vent/Air Intake Length
or Obstruction
• Refer to Section 3 - General Venting of the Knight Wall Mount Installation and Operation Manual for the proper venting and air intake methods for the Knight wall mount boiler.
• Check for obstructions at the vent/air intake terminals.
Gas Supply Pressure
• Refer to Section 7 - Gas Connections of the Knight Wall Mount Installation and Operation Manual for the proper gas supply for the Knight wall mount boiler.
Dirty/Damaged Burner
• Refer to page 31of this manual for burner removal and cleaning procedures.
• Replace burner if necessary.
Gas Valve Adjustment
• Refer to page 45 of this manual for the gas valve adjustment procedure.

8. Once the combustion analysis is complete, test the safety shutoff device by turning the manual shutoff switch to the OFF position and ensuring that the boiler shuts down and registers an alarm. Turn the manual shutoff switch to the ON position, reset the control, and return to Service Mode.
9. Turn the main power off to the boiler and replace the flue temperature sensor into the flue pipe connection.
10. Place the boiler back into normal operation.
You must replace the flue gas temperature sensor to prevent flue gas spillage into the room. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

Gas valve adjustment procedure
If adjustment of the gas valve is deemed necessary, use the following procedures:
Locate the throttle adjustment screw on the side of the venturi valve (FIG. 3-2). Using a screwdriver, turn the screw a 1/4 turn clockwise to increase CO
2
levels or a 1/4 turn counterclockwise to decrease CO2levels. After performing one adjustment on the valve, follow the Combustion Analysis Procedure on page 44 of
this manual to measure the combustion.
If combustion is still not within the specified range, repeat the procedure. This procedure SHOULD NOT be performed more than four (4) times. If after four (4) adjustments and the combustion is still not within the specified range, revisit the possible causes in Table 3-5 on page 44 or replace the gas valve.
