The SC-9 is a microprocessor control which will sequence up to
nine heating stages based on outdoor air temperature and supply
water temperature. Designed to handle a Caravan gas-fired,
oil-fired or dual fuel-fired hot water heating plant for space heating
or “Setpoint” operation, or either in combination with domestic
water heating. A large easy to read display provides current
system temperatures and operating status. The control has outputs
for a primary pump and either a combustion air damper or alarm.
ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS INCLUDE:
Primary pump output. Pump exercising. Pump purging. Boiler
demand for space heating loads. Set point demands for set point
loads. Test sequence to ensure proper component operation. CSA
C US certified. Setback input for energy savings.
SPACE HEATING OPERATION: When the outdoor air temperature drops below a preset value, the heating system is energized.
The SC-9 Controller determines the number of stages required to
meet the space heating needs and fires them. During operation,
the Controller scans system temperatures, adding or deleting
stages as necessary to satisfy heating load.
SETPOINT OPERATION:
The SC-9 adds and deletes stages to minimize the difference
between the desired Setpoint temperature and the actual measured Supply Water Temperature.
DOMESTIC WATER HEATING:
When configured for “DHW” (Service Water Heating), the control
holds stage #9 out of the Lead/Lag firing sequencing until all other
active stages are energized. Only when the heating load reaches
a maximum will the Stage #9 relay energize. At the same time, a
motorized valve opens allowing the DHW modules to contribute to
space heating. If water temperature in the DHW modules falls
below a pre-set value, the motorized valve will close, retaining
module capacity for domestic water heating.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Improper installation and operation of this control could result in damage to the equipment and possibly even personal injury. It is your
responsibility to ensure that this control is safely installed according to all applicable codes and standards. This electronic control is not
intended for uses as a primary limit control. Other controls that are intended and certified as safety limit must be placed into the control
circuit. Do not open the control. Refer to qualified personnel for servicing. Opening voids warranty and could result in damage to the
equipment and possibly even personal injury.
CONTROL PANEL MOUNTING
The control panel is to be mounted in an indoor area where the ambient temperature range will be 30 to 120˚F (0 to 50˚C) and less that
95% RH. Power Supply is to be 115 V (ac) +/- 10% 50/60 Hz 600 VA.
The installer must ensure that this control and its wiring are isolated and/or shielded from strong sources of electromagnetic
noise. Conversely, this Class B digital apparatus complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and meets all requirements of the Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. However, if this control does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
is determined by turning the control on and off, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by re-orienting or relocating the
receiving antenna, relocating the receiver with respect to the control, and/or connecting the control to a different circuit from that to which
the receiver is connected.
WARNING: The nonmetallic enclosure does not provide grounding between conduit connections. Use grounding type bushings and jumper
wires as needed.
Press down at the fingertip
grips on top of the front cover
and pull out and down.
Remove the safety dividers
from the wiring chamber by
pulling them straight out of their
grooves.
The control can be mounted on
a standard DIN rail. First
remove the control from its
base and then, using the hooks
and spring clip on the back of
the control, mount it onto the
DIN rail. This will be a popular
option for those who prefer to
mount the control inside a larger electrical panel.
Lift the front cover up and away
from the control.
Press the control release clip
on the base inside the wiring
chamber and slide the control
upwards.
Loosen the screws at the front
of the wiring cover.
The control lifts up and away from
the base.
The wiring can enter the bottom or
the back of the enclosure. Knockouts provided in the base allow the
wiring to be run in conduit up to the
enclosure. The base also has holes
that line up with the mounting holes
of most common electrical boxes.
The wiring cover pulls straight
out from the wiring chamber.
The base is ready for mounting.

INSTALLING THE SENSORS
OUTDOOR SENSOR SLANT/FIN P/N 339070
MOUNTING THE SENSOR
Note: The temperature sensor (thermistor) is built into the enclosure.
• Remove the screw and pull the front cover
ff the sensor enclosure.
o
• The enclosure can either be mounted directly
onto a wall or a 2” x 4” electrical box.
When it is wall mounted, the wiring
should enter through the back or bottom
of the enclosure. Do not mount the enclosure
with the conduit knockout facing upwards
as rain could enter the enclosure and
damage the sensor.
• In order to prevent heat transmitted through the wall from affecting the sensor reading, it may be necessary to install and insulating
barrier behind the enclosure.
• The sensor should be mounted on a northern wall of the building. It should not be exposed to heat sources such as ventilation or
window openings. Caution
temperatures that are not high enough to meet the demand.
: If sunlight strikes the sensor enclosure or the surface area surrounding it, the system will provide water
• It should be installed at an elevation above the ground that will prevent accidental damage or tampering.
WIRING AND TESTING THE SENSOR
• Connect 18 AWG or similar wire to the two terminals provided in the enclosure and
run the wires from the sensor to the control. Do not run the wires close to and parallel to telephone or power cables. If the sensor wires are located in an area with strong
sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI), shielded cable or twisted pair should be
used or the wires can be run in a grounded metal conduit. If using shielded cable, the
shield wire should be connected to the Com Sen terminal on the control and not to earth
ground.
• Follow the sensor testing instruction that follows and connect the wires to the control.
• Replace the front cover of the sensor enclosure.
UNIVERSAL SENSORS
MOUNTING THE SENSOR SF P/N 339071
Note: These sensors are designed to mount in an immersion well or on a pipe.
For example - If a sensor is mounted onto a 1” type L copper pipe, there is approximately an 8 second delay between a sudden change in
water temperature and the time the sensor measures the change. This delay increases considerably when steel pipe is used.
It is strongly recommended that an immersion well be used, especially when steel pipe of greater than 1-1/4” is used and also
when large diameter pipes are used and fluid stratification is probable.
Sensor Mounted In Immersion Well
SLANT/FIN P/N 410569

The Universal Sensor can be
strapped directly to the pipe using
the cable tie provided. Insulation
should be placed around the sensor
to reduce the effect of air currents on
the sensor measurement. The flat
ortion of the sensor should be mounted
p
against the pipe.
The Universal Sensor should be placed
downstream of a pump or after an elbow
or similar fitting. This is especially important if large diameter pipes are used as
the thermal stratification within the pipe
can result in erroneous sensor readings.
Proper sensor location requires that the
luid is thoroughly mixed within the pipe
f
before it reaches the sensor.
WIRING AND TESTING THE SENSOR
WARNING: Do not run sensor wires close to and parallel to telephone or power cables. If the sensor wires are located in an area with
strong sources of electromagnetic interference, shielded cable or twisted pair should be used or the wires can be run in a grounded metal
conduit. If using shielded cable, the shield wire should be connected to the Com Sen terminal on the control and not to earth ground.
• It is necessary to connect 18 AWG wire to the two sensor wires. Wire nuts can be used to hold the wires together.
• Follow the sensor testing instructions that follow and then connect the wires to the control.
SENSOR TESTING INSTRUCTIONS
A good quality test meter capable of measuring up to 5,000 kΩ (1 kΩ = 1000 Ω) is required to measure the sensor resistance. In addition
to this, the actual temperature must be measured with either a good quality digital thermometer, or if a thermometer is not available,
a second sensor can be placed alongside the one to be tested and the readings compared.
First measure the temperature using the thermometer and then measure the resistance of the sensor at the control. The wires from the
sensor must not be connected to the control while the test is performed. Using the chart below, estimate the temperature measured by
the sensor. The sensor and thermometer readings should be close. If the test meter reads a very high resistance, there may be a broken
wire, a poor wiring connection or a defective sensor. If the resistance is very low, the wiring may be shorted, there may be moisture in
the sensor or the sensor may be defective. To test for a defective sensor, measure the resistance directly at the sensor location.
Do not apply voltage to a sensor at any time as damage to the sensor may result.

The Adv / Installer DIP switch selects the access level of the control. In the
Installer access level, a limited number of items may be viewed and / or
adjusted. In the Advanced access level, all items may be viewed and / or
adjusted.
Set to Adv
Rotate / Off
The Rotate / Off DIP switch selects whether or not the control is to provide
Equal Run Time Rotation of the boiler stages. If the switch is set to Rotate,
the stages will be rotated accordingly. If the switch is set to Off, the firing
sequence is fixed starting with the lowest stage to the highest stage.
Set to Rotate
Fixed Last / Off
The Fixed Last / Off DIP switch selects whether or not the last boiler is to be
included in the rotation sequence. If the DIP switch is set to Fixed Last, the
last boiler is always the last to fire. This DIP switch is only active when the
Rotate/Off DIP switch is set to Rotate.
Must be set to fix last.

USEFUL HINTS
Hint #1
Reloading Factory Defaults
o reload the factory defaults, power down the control for 10 seconds. Power up the control while simultaneously holding the Menu and
T
t buttons. The control will now display the E01 error message. To clear this error message, follow the procedure in the Error Message
section below.
The control was reloaded to factory default settings. However, the control will stop operation until all of the items in
the ADJUST menu of the control have been checked by the user or installer. After checking all items press MENU.
NOTE: The Installer / Adv DIP Switch must be set to Adv in order to clear the error.
Hint #2
Room Occupied Setting
Changing the Room Occupied setting will change the heating curve. If you want more heat you should increase this setting above 70˚F
(21˚C). If you want less heat you can decrease the setting below 70˚F (21˚C).
SC-9 Controller29
TESTING THE CONTROL
The control has a built-in test routine that is used to test the main
control functions. The control continually monitors the sensors and
displays an error message whenever a fault is found. See the following
ages for a list of the control’s error messages and possible causes.
p
When the Test button is pressed, the test light is turned on. The
individual outputs and relays are tested in the following test sequence.
Test Sequence
Each step in the test sequence lasts 10 seconds.
During the test routine, if a demand from the system is present, the test sequence may be paused by pressing the Test button. If the Test
button is not pressed again for 5 minutes while the test sequence is paused, the control exits the entire test routine. If the test sequence is
paused, the Test button can be pressed again to advance to the next step. This can also be used to rapidly advance through the test
sequence. To reach the desired step, repeatedly press and release the Test button until the appropriate device and segment in the display
turn on.
STEP 1:The primary pump is turned on and remains on for the entire test routine.
STEP 2:If the Alarm / C.A. DIP switch is set to Alarm, the Alarm contact is turned on for 10
seconds and then shuts off. If the Alarm / C.A. DIP switch is set to C.A., the Combustion
Air Damper contact is turned on and remains on for the entire test routine.
STEP 3:For each boiler that is set to Auto, the following test sequence is used. If the mode
indicates that a boiler pump is used, the boiler pump is turned on and remains on. Next,
the first stage of the boiler is turned on and remains on. If a second stage is present, the
second stage is turned on and remains on. If a third stage is present, the third stage is
turned on and remains on. If a fourth stage is present, the fourth stage is turned on. After
ten seconds, all stages and the boiler pump are turned off.
This step is repeated for each additional boiler that is set to Auto.
STEP 4:All contacts are turned off.
