Section A: General Operation
POWERING UP THE CONTROL
When the control is powered up, all segments in the LCD are turned on for 2 seconds. Next, the control displays the control type
number in the LCD for 2 seconds. Next, the software version is displayed for 2 seconds. Finally, the control enters into the normal
operating mode.
BOILER TARGET TEMPERATURE
The control operates up to three modulating boilers to control the supply water temperature to a hydronic space heating system
or setpoint. When using the control to provide Domestic Hot Water (DHW) requirements, only two modulating boilers can be
operated. The supply water temperature is based on boiler reset, an external 0 – 10 V (dc) signal, DHW requirements, or a
setpoint temperature.
Design SupplyDesign Supply
Boiler Reset (Stand Alone)
When a boiler demand signal from the heating system is present,
the control operates the boiler(s) to maintain the supply temperature
based on the outdoor air temperature and the Characterized Heating
Curve settings. Refer to section C.
When a DHW demand is present, the control operates the boiler(s)
to maintain the supply water temperature at least as hot as the DHW
exchange setting. Refer to section D.
Decreasing Outdoor Temperature
Increasing Water Temperature
Setpoint
When a setpoint demand signal is present, the control operates the boiler(s) to maintain the supply water temperature at least as
hot as the Setpoint setting. Refer to section E.
External Input 0 – 10 V (Dc) or 2 – 10 V (Dc)
When an external input signal is present, the control converts the signal to a target supply temperature. The control operates the
boiler(s) to maintain the required supply water temperature. Refer to section F.
To provide greater energy savings, the control has a setback feature. With setback, the
supply water temperature in the system is reduced when the building is unoccupied. By

reducing the supply water temperature, the air temperature in the space may be reduced
even when thermostat(s) are not turned down. Any time the UnO Sw (5) and the Com (1)
terminals are shorted together, the control operates in the unoccupied mode. When in the
unoccupied mode, the UNOCC segment is displayed in the LCD. The control adjusts the
supply water temperature based on the UNOCC settings in the control.
Timer Switch
COMBUSTION AIR OR ALERT CONTACT
The control has an isolated contact that can be used as either a combustion air damper contact or an alert contact. This selection
is made using the C.A. / Alert DIP switch.
Combustion Air (C.A.)
When the DIP switch is set to C.A., terminals 15 and 16 can be used as a switch to operate a combustion air damper. This contact
closes prior to the first boiler operating on the control. The amount of time that the contact closes prior to the first boiler firing is
set using the combustion delay setting.
The combustion air contact remains closed for a minimum of 15 seconds after the last boiler is turned off.
Alert
When the DIP switch is set to Alert, terminals 15 and 16 can be used as a switch to operate an alert circuit. This contact closes
whenever an error message is present on the control display. When the alert contact is activated, refer to the Error Messages
section of this brochure to determine the cause of the alert. Once the fault has been fixed, pressing either the Menu, Item, ▲ or ▼
button will clear the alert.
Boiler Alert
The control can monitor the boiler supply temperature and provide an alert if the temperature does not increase within a certain
amount of time. The amount of time can be set using the Boiler Alert setting. This alert can be used to determine if the boilers
have failed to fire. To reset the alert, press and hold the ▲ and ▼ buttons for 5 seconds while in the VIEW menu.
ROTATION
The control includes an Equal Run Time feature which changes the firing
order of the boilers whenever one boiler accumulates 48 hours more
running time than any other boiler. After each rotation, the boiler with the
12
least running hours is the first to fire and the boiler with the most running
hours is the last to fire. This function ensures that all of the boilers that
are being rotated receive equal amounts of use. When the Rotate / Off
720 hours672 hours
DIP switch is set to the Off position, the firing sequence always begins
with lowest boiler to the highest boiler.
Fixed Lead Rotation
21
In some applications, it may be desirable to have the first boiler fire first
at all times while the firing sequence of the remaining boilers is changed
using Equal Run Time Rotation. This rotation option is selected by
672 hours720 hours
setting the Fixed Lead/Off DIP switch to the Fixed Lead position.
First On / Last Off or First On / First Off
When using the Fixed Lead rotation option, a selection must be made between First On/LastOff and First On/FirstOff
using the DIP switch. When First On / Last Off is selected, the lead boiler is always modulated first and shut off last. When
FirstOn/FirstOff is selected, the lead boiler is always modulated first and shut off first. This DIP switch is only read by the control
when the FixedLead/Off DIP switch is set to Fixed Lead.
Resetting the Rotation Sequence
To reset the rotation sequence, set the Rotate / Off DIP switch to the Off setting for 5 seconds and then return the DIP switch to
the Rotate setting.
RUNNING TIMES
The control displays the accumulated running time of each boiler in the VIEW menu.
Resetting the Running Times
To reset the running time for each boiler, select the appropriate running time in the VIEW menu. Next press the ▲ and ▼ buttons
simultaneously until CLr is displayed.
The control has a built-in exercising feature that is selected through the Exercise / Off DIP switch. To enable the exercising feature set
the Exercise/Off DIP switch to Exercise. If exercising is enabled, the control ensures that each pump is operated at least once every
3 days. If a pump has not been operated at least once every 3 days, the control turns on the output for 10 seconds. This minimizes
the possibility of the pump seizing during a long period of inactivity. While the control is exercising, the Te st LED flashes quickly.
Note: The exercising function does not work if power to the control or pumps is disconnected.
FACTORY DEFAULTS
The control comes preset with several factory defaults. These defaults are based on the terminal unit selection (see section C).
To fine-tune building requirements, these defaults may be changed.
To reload the factory defaults listed in the ADJUST Menu, power down the control and wait for 10 seconds. Power up the control
while simultaneously holding the Menu and ▼ buttons. An E01 error occurs forcing the installer to go through the ADJUST menu
to ensure the settings are correct.
Section B: Boiler Operation

Boiler
Modulation
Section B1: Boiler Modulation
MODULATION
The control provides three modulating output signals, three boiler enable contacts, and three boiler pumps contacts to operate up
to three modulating boilers. The boiler enable contact may not be required, depending on the make and model of the boiler(s).
The control operates a boiler by first closing the boiler pump contact. The boiler enable contact is closed next and then the control
provides a modulating output signal to the boiler.
The modulation output signal is then modulated from the minimum modulation using Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID)
logic in order to satisfy the boiler target temperature.
SEQUENTIAL MODULATION
The control offers a sequential modulation option. This is selected by setting the
Sequential/Parallel DIP switch to Sequential. Sequential modulation should be used on
boilers that are more efficient when operating at high fire.
SEQUENTIAL MODULATION
100%MODOFF
In sequential modulation, the first boiler is turned on and is modulated to satisfy light loads.
Once the first boiler does not have enough capacity to satisfy the load, the first boiler
reduces its modulation to provide a smooth transition when the second boiler fires at low
fire. The first boiler then modulates up to maximum modulation as the load increases. Only
then is the second boiler able to increase its output as the load continues to increase.
When the third boiler is required, the second boiler reduces its modulation to allow the
third boiler to operate at low fire. As the load continues to increase, the second boiler is
modulated to its maximum and then the third boiler is modulated. The operation is reversed
Boiler 1Boiler 2Boiler 3
when shutting off the boilers.
PARALLEL MODU L ATION
The control offers a parallel modulation option. This is selected by setting the
Sequential/Parallel DIP switch to Parallel. Parallel modulation should be used on boilers
that are more efficient when operating at low fire.
In parallel modulation, the first boiler turns on at low fire and begins to increase its
modulation. Once the first boiler’s output is greater than the combined output of the first
and second boiler’s low fire, the first boiler is modulated down to low fire and the second
boiler is fired at low fire. The two boilers now modulate together. Once the two boiler’s
combined output is greater than the combined output of all three boilers operating at low
fire, the first and second boilers are modulated down to low fire, and all three boilers are
operated at low fire. The boilers are then modulated as the load increases. The operation
is reversed when shutting off the boilers.
The modulation output (Mod 1, Mod 2, and Mod 3) for each boiler can be adjusted from a 4 to 20 mA output range to a 0 to 20 mA
output range using the Boil Modulation 1, Boil Modulation 2, or Boil Modulation 3 setting. The resulting modulation output signal
can be converted to a 0 to 5 V (dc), 1 to 5 V (dc), 0 to 10 V (dc), and 2 to 10 V (dc) output using external resistors. The modulation
output signal can be converted to a 0 to 135 Ω (W R B) output using a 0 - 135 Ω Converter 005. Refer to the Modulation Output
section in Step 4 of the Installation section.
MINIMUM MODULATION
The minimum modulation defines the minimum output signal from the control to the boiler burner. It is based on a percentage of
the control’s output signal range.
The minimum modulation setting for boilers with power burners is typically set to 0%.
For boilers with electronic operators, the boiler’s input signal range may not match the output signal range of the 265 control. The
Minimum Modulation setting limits the control output range in order to match the boiler’s input range.
To calculate the Minimum Modulation, use the following formulae:
MINIMUM MODULATION
For 4 to 20 mA:
Minimum Modulation =
4 - 20 mA
4 mA – Boiler’s Minimum Input Signal
For 0 to 10 V (dc):
Minimum Modulation =
0 – 10 V (dc)
0 V (dc) – Boiler’s Minimum Input Signal
For 2 to 10 V (dc):
Minimum Modulation =
2 – 10 V (dc)

Example 1:
A boiler requires a 1.8 V (dc) signal to fire the boiler at low fire. The boiler can be modulated to 10 V (dc) where it reaches high fire.
This means the boiler’s input signal range is 1.8 to 10 V (dc). The 265 control has an output signal range of 0 to 20 mA which can be
externally converted to 0 to 10 V (dc) using a 500 Ω resistor (Refer to Modulation Output section in Step 4 of the Installation section).
To make the two signal ranges the same, the Minimum Modulation required is:
0 V – 1.8 V
Minimum Modulation
0 V – 10 V

x 100% = 18%
Example 2:
If the boiler’s input signal range is 6 to 20 mA the required Minimum Modulation is:
Minimum Modulation =
4 mA – 20 mA
4 mA – 6 mA
x 100% = 13%
MAXIMUM MODULATION
The maximum modulation defines the maximum output signal from the control to the boiler burner. It is based on a percentage of
the control’s output signal range.
The maximum modulation setting for boilers with power burners is typically set to 100%.
For boilers with electronic operators, the boiler’s input signal range may not match the output signal range of the 265 control. The
Maximum Modulation setting limits the control output range in order to match the boiler’s input range.
To calculate the Maximum Modulation, use the following formulae:
A boiler’s input signal range is 2 to 9 V (dc). The 265 control has an output signal range of 2 to 10 V (dc). To make the two signal
ranges the same, the Maximum Modulation required is:
Maximum Modulation =
2 V – 10 V
2 V – 9 V
x 100% = 88%
Example 2:
If the boiler’s input signal range is 6 to 19 mA the required Maximum Modulation is:
Maximum Modulation =
4 mA – 20 mA
4 mA – 19 mA
x 100% = 94%
MINIMUM BOILER OUTPUT
In order to accommodate different boiler capacities in the same system, a minimum boiler output for each boiler can be set. This
allows the control to properly operate the boilers using either sequential or parallel modulation. The minimum boiler output range
is from 10,000 BTU / hour to 19,990,000 BTU / hour.
Each boiler typically has a rating plate that specifies the minimum output. This information is also available in the boiler manual. The
Minimum Boiler Output setting has units of 10,000 BTU / hour. Divide the minimum output rating by 10,000 and enter the number
as the Minimum Boiler Output setting.
For example, if a boiler has a minimum output of 20 MBH:
Minimum Boiler Output =
10,000
20,000 BTU/hr
= 2 x 10,000 BTU/hr
MAXIMUM BOILER OUTPUT
In order to accommodate different boiler capacities in the same system, there is a maximum boiler output for each boiler. This
allows the control to properly operate the boilers using either sequential or parallel modulation. The maximum boiler output range
is from 10,000 BTU / hour to 19,990,000 BTU / hour.
Each boiler typically has a rating plate that specifies the maximum output. This information is also available in the boiler manual.
The Maximum Boiler Output setting has units of 10,000 BTU / hour. Divide the maximum output rating by 10,000 and enter the
number into the Maximum Boiler Output setting.
For example, if a boiler has a maximum output of 100 MBH:
Maximum Boiler Output =
10,000
100,000 BTU/hr
= 10 x 10,000 BTU/hr
MOTOR SPEED
The Motor Speed is the amount of time the boiler requires to go from 0%
modulation to 100% modulation. The control includes a Motor Speed
setting for each individual boiler.
Gas valve actuating motors have a design time from fully closed to fully
opened which can be found in the manufacturer’s manual. The Motor
Speed should be set to this time.
The Motor Speed setting for a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is the
amount of time required to go from a stopped position to 100% fan
speed. Since a VFD has a very quick response rate, it may be necessary
to increase the Motor Speed setting in order to increase the stability of
the boiler modulation.
BOILER MASS
The boiler mass setting allows the installer to adjust the control to the thermal mass of the type of heat sources used in the
application. There is a boiler mass setting for each boiler. The modulation of the boiler can become unstable if the incorrect Boiler
Mass setting is chosen. A key sign of the boiler modulation being unstable is the flame will continue to increase and then decrease
in short periods of time. By choosing a lower boiler mass setting, the boiler response will become more stable.
Lo (1)
The Lo setting is selected if the boiler that is used has a low thermal mass. This means that the boiler has a very small water
content and has very little metal in the heat exchanger. A boiler that has a low thermal mass comes up to temperature quite
rapidly when fired. This is typical of many copper fin-tube boilers.
The Lo mass setting provides a fast response to the heating system.
The Med setting is selected if the boiler that is used has a medium thermal mass. This means that the boiler either has a large
water content and a low metal content or a low water content and a high metal content. This is typical of many modern residential
cast iron boilers or steel tube boilers.
The Med mass setting provides a moderate response to the heating system.
Hi (3)
The Hi setting is selected if the boiler that is used has a high thermal mass. This means that the boiler has both a large water
content and a large metal content. A boiler that has a high thermal mass is relatively slow in coming up to temperature. This is
typical of many commercial cast iron and steel tube boilers.
The Hi mass setting provides a slow response to the heating system.
DIFFERENTIAL
A modulating boiler must be operated with a differential while operating in low fire. The boiler differential is divided around the boiler
target temperature. The boiler starts at low fire when the supply water temperature is ½ of the differential setting below the boiler
target temperature. The boiler is shut off in low fire as the supply temperature reaches at least ½ of the differential above the boiler
target temperature. With the control, either a fixed or an auto differential may be selected.
When the boiler is modulating above low fire, the differential does not apply. Instead, the modulation output signal is determined
using Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) logic in order to satisfy the boiler target temperature.

Fixed Differential
If the user desires to have a fixed differential, this is set using the

Auto Differential
If the Auto Differential is selected, the control automatically determines
the best differential as the load changes. This reduces potential short
cycling during light load conditions.
BOILER MINIMUM
The boiler minimum is the lowest temperature that the control is allowed
to use as a boiler target temperature. During mild conditions, if the control
calculates a boiler target temperature that is below the boiler minimum
setting, the boiler target temperature is adjusted to at least the boiler
minimum setting. During this condition, if the boiler(s) is operating, the
minimum segment is turned on in the display when viewing either the
boiler supply temperature or the boiler target temperature. Set the boiler
minimum setting to the boiler manufacturer’s recommended temperature.
BOILER MAXIMUM
The boiler maximum is the highest temperature that the control is
allowed to use as a boiler target temperature. If the control does target
the boiler maximum setting, and the boiler temperature is near the boiler
maximum temperature, the maximum segment will be turned on in the
display while either the boiler target temperature or the boiler supply
temperature is being viewed. At no time does the control operate the
boiler(s) above 248°F (120°C).
The Fire Delay is the time delay that occurs between the time that the
control closes a boiler enable contact to fire a boiler and when the boiler
fires at low fire.
STAGE DELAY
The stage delay is the minimum time delay between the firing of stages.
After this delay has expired the control can fire the next stage if it is
required. This setting can be adjusted manually or set to an automatic
setting. When the automatic setting is used, the control determines the
best stage delay based on the operation of the system.

SOFT STOP
It is possible to thermally shock a boiler when it is shut off at high fire. The Soft Stop feature forces the boiler to modulate down to
minimum before turning off. This is designed to prevent large volumes of cold air being introduced into the combustion chamber of
the boiler when it is shut off. This can occur in applications where the burner includes a fan.
Once all demands are removed, the control allows for the firing rate to be modulated down to the MIN Modulation setting prior to
turning off the burner. This feature is enabled by setting the Soft Stop/Off DIP switch to the Soft Stop position. If the Soft Stop/Off
DIP switch is in the Off position, the control turns off the boiler at the current firing rate once all demands are removed.
COPY BOILER 1 SETTINGS
Many boiler installations will have multiple identical boilers. To reduce the number of settings required, the settings of boiler 1
(Fire Delay, Boiler Mass, Motor Speed, Minimum Boiler Output, Maximum Boiler Output, Boiler Modulation, Minimum Modulation,
Maximum Modulation, and Purge Boiler Pump) are copied to boiler 2 by setting the Boiler 2 setting to CP1. Likewise, setting Boiler 3
to CP1 copies the settings of boiler 1 to boiler 3. Boiler 2 and Boiler 3 settings are set to CP1 by default.
The setting of CP1 allows the control to enable the boiler similar to the setting of Au (automatic). If a boiler is set to OFF, the control
disables that boiler.
If required, each of the three modulating boilers can have individual boiler settings. This allows for three different type, size,
and make of modulating boilers. To select individual boiler settings for boiler 2, set Boiler 2 to Au (automatic). Likewise, to select
individual boiler settings for boiler 3, set Boiler 3 to Au (automatic).

Section C1: Boiler Reset (Stand Alone)
Boiler Reset operation only applies when the Stand Alone / External Input DIP switch is set to
Stand Alone.
BOILER DEMAND
A boiler demand is required in order for the control to provide heat to the heating system. A boiler
demand is generated by applying a voltage between 24 and 230 V (ac) across the Boil Dem
and ComDem terminals (29 and 30). Once voltage is applied, the Boiler Demand pointer is
displayed in the LCD. If the control is not in Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD), the control
closes the primary pump contact. The control calculates a boiler target supply temperature
based on the outdoor air temperature and the characterized heating curve settings. The control
then fires the boiler(s), if required, to maintain the target supply temperature.
The control varies the supply water temperature based on the outdoor air
temperature. The control takes into account the type of terminal unit that
the system is using. Since different types of terminal units transfer heat
to a space using different proportions of radiation, natural convection
and forced convection, the supply water temperature must be controlled
differently. Once a terminal unit is selected, the control varies the supply
water temperature according to the type of terminal unit. This improves
the control of the air temperature in the building.
OUTDOOR DESIGN TEMPERATURE
The outdoor design temperature is the outdoor air temperature that is
the typical coldest temperature of the year where the building is located.
This temperature is used when doing the heat loss calculations for the
building. If a cold outdoor design temperature is selected, the boiler
supply temperature rises gradually as the outdoor temperature drops.
If a warm outdoor design temperature is selected, the boiler supply
temperature rises rapidly as the outdoor temperature drops.

The boiler design supply temperature is the supply water temperature
required to heat the building when the outdoor air temperature is as cold
as the outdoor design temperature.
BOILER INDOOR DESIGN TEMPERATURE
The indoor design temperature is the room temperature that was used in the original heat loss calculations for the building. This
setting establishes the beginning of the characterized heating curve.
Supply Water Temperature
ROOM
The ROOM setting is the desired room temperature for the building and provides a parallel shift of the heating curve. The room
temperature desired by the occupants is often different from the design indoor temperature. If the room temperature is not correct,
adjusting the room setting increases or decreases the amount of heat available to the building. A room setting is available for both
the occupied (day) and unoccupied (night) periods.
BOILER TARGET TEMPERATURE
The boiler target temperature is determined from the characterized heating curve settings and the outdoor air temperature. The
control displays the temperature that it is currently trying to maintain as the boiler supply temperature. If the control does not
presently have a requirement for heat, it does not show a boiler target temperature. Instead, “– – –” is displayed in the LCD.
TERMINAL UNITS
The control provides for a selection between six different terminal unit types: two types of radiant floor heat, fancoil, fin-tube
convector, radiator and baseboard. When a terminal unit is selected, the control automatically loads the design supply temperature,
maximum supply temperature, and minimum supply temperature. The factory defaults are listed below. These factory defaults can
be changed to better match the installed system.
This type of a hydronic radiant floor is embedded in either a thick concrete or gypsum
pour. This heating system has a large thermal mass and is slow acting.
Low Mass Radiant (2)
This type of radiant heating system is either attached to the bottom of a wood sub-floor,
suspended in the joist space, or sandwiched between the sub-floor and the surface.
This type of radiant system has a relatively low thermal mass and responds faster than
a high mass system.
A fancoil terminal unit or Air Handling Unit (AHU) consists of a hydronic heating coil and
either a fan or blower. Air is forced across the coil at a constant velocity by the fan or
blower, and is then delivered into the building space.
Fin-Tube Convector (4)
A convector terminal unit is made up of a heating element with fins on it. This type of
terminal unit relies on the natural convection of air across the heating element to deliver
heated air into the space. The amount of natural convection to the space is dependant
on the supply water temperature to the heating element and the room air temperature.
Radiator (5)
A radiator terminal unit has a large heated surface that is exposed to the room. A radiator
provides heat to the room through radiant heat transfer and natural convection.
Baseboard (6)
A baseboard terminal unit is similar to a radiator, but has a low profile and is installed at
the base of the wall. The proportion of heat transferred by radiation from a baseboard is
greater than that from a fin-tube convector.
WARM WEATHER SHUT DOWN (OCC and UNOCC)
The Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD) disables the space heating system during warm outdoor weather. There is a separate WWSD
for both the occupied and the unoccupied periods. When the outdoor air temperature rises above the WWSD setting, the control turns
on the WWSD pointer in the display. When the control is in WWSD, the Boiler Demand pointer is displayed if there is a boiler demand.
However, the control does not operate the heating system to satisfy this demand. The control does respond to a DHW demand or a
setpoint demand and operates as described in sections D and E. WWSD is not active when using an external input signal.
BOOST
When the control changes from the unoccupied mode to the occupied mode,
it enters into a boosting mode. In this mode, the supply water temperature to
the system is raised above its normal values for a period of time to provide a
faster recovery from the setback temperature of the building. The maximum
length of the boost is selected using the BST setting.
Typical settings for the boost function vary between 30 minutes and
two hours for buildings that have a fast responding heating system. For
buildings that have a slow responding heating system, a setting between
four hours and eight hours is typical. After a boost time is selected, the
setback timer must be adjusted to come out of setback some time in
advance of the desired occupied time. This time in advance is normally
the same as the BST setting.
If the building is not up to temperature at the correct time, the BST setting should be lengthened and the setback timer should be
adjusted accordingly. If the building is up to temperature before the required time, the BST setting should be shortened and the setback
timer sho uld b e ad justed according ly. I f th e system is operating n ear its d esi gn co ndit ions or if the su pply water temp eratures are being
limited by settings made in the control, the time required to bring the building up to temperature may be longer than expected.
DHW operation is available during Boiler Reset (Stand Alone) and External Input operation.
The DHW operation requires the use of the Boiler 3/DHW contact; therefore, only 2 boilers can be connected to the control. The
BOIL 3 setting must be set to OFF before the DHW MODE item will be available.
DHW DEMAND
A DHW Demand is required in order for the control to provide heat to the DHW system. A
DHW aquastat or setpoint control is used as a switch in the DHW demand circuit. Once
the control detects a DHW demand, the DHW Demand pointer turns on in the LCD and the
control operates the boiler to provide a sufficient boiler supply water temperature to the
24 to 230 V (ac)
DHW tank. The control operates the pumps as described below.
The control registers a DHW Demand when a voltage between 24 and 230 V (ac) is applied
across the Setp/DHW and ComDem terminals (31 and 30).
BOILER TARGET DURING DHW GENERATION
The boiler target temperature is at least as hot as the DHW exchange setting (DHW XCHG). The DHW demand overrides the boiler
reset target temperature, except when the boiler reset target is higher than the DHW Exchange setting.

DHW MODE AND PRIORITY OPERATION
The control has five different settings available for DHW MODE. The required DHW MODE setting will depend on the piping
arrangement of the DHW tank.
It is often desirable to have a priority for the DHW allowing for quick recovery of the DHW tank temperature. This is achieved by
limiting or even stopping the flow of heat to the heating system when the DHW tank calls for heat.
DHW Mode Off – No DHW
The DHW feature is not selected.

When a DHW Demand is present, the Boiler 3/ DHW contact
(terminals 21 and 22) closes with the DHW demand. The primary
pump contact does not turn on, but may operate based on a Boiler
Demand, or an External Input Signal.
It is assumed that the DHW pump will provide adequate flow

the heating system has recovered before returning to DHW operation.
This mode can be used if a DHW tank is piped in direct return and a DHW valve is installed.

DHW PRIORITY OVERRIDE
The DHW Priority Override applies to DHW MODE2 and 4. To prevent the building from cooling off too much or the possibility of
a potential freeze up during DHW priority, the control limits the amount of time for DHW priority. The length of DHW priority time
is determined using the Priority Override setting. Once the allowed time for priority has elapsed, the control overrides the DHW
priority and resumes space heating.
To provide external DHW priority, the space heating zones must be interlocked with the Boiler 3 / DHW contact. During DHW
demands, the Boiler 3 / DHW contact must remove any power to all space heating zone valves or zone pumps.
CONDITIONAL DHW PRIORITY
The Conditional DHW Priority Override applies to DHW MODE 2 and 4. If the boiler supply temperature is maintained at or above
the required temperature during DHW generation, this indicates that the boiler(s) has enough capacity for DHW and possibly
heating as well. As long as the boiler supply temperature is maintained near its target and the heating and DHW targets are similar,
DHW and heating occurs simultaneously.
DHW POST PURGE
After the DHW Demand is removed, the control performs a purge (PURG) on the boiler(s). The control shuts off the boiler(s) and
continues to operate either the DHW pump or the DHW valve and the system and boiler pump if applicable. This purges the residual
heat from the boiler(s) into the DHW tank. The control continues this purge for a maximum of two minutes or until the boiler supply
water temperature drops 20°F (11°C) below the boiler target temperature during the DHW operation. The control also stops the
purge if the boiler supply temperature is close to the current boiler target temperature.
DHW MIXING PURGE
After DHW operation, the boiler(s) is extremely hot. At the same time,
the heating zones may have cooled off considerably after being off for
a period of time. To avoid thermally shocking the boiler(s) after DHW in
DHW
Pump
parallel with priority (DHW MODE 2), the control shuts off the boiler(s), but
continues to operate the DHW while restarting the heating system. This
allows some of the DHW return water to mix with the cool return water
Primary
Pump
Boiler
Pump
from the zones and temper the boiler return water.
DHW DURING UNOCCUPIED
If the control receives a DHW Demand during an unoccupied period, the control can either continue operation of the DHW system
as it would during the occupied period or the control can ignore a DHW Demand for the duration of the unoccupied period.
NUMBER OF BOILERS USED FOR DHW GENERATION
The number of boilers used for DHW generation can be selected to either one or two using the BOIL DHW setting. This applies when
only a DHW Demand is present. If there are other demands present, the control does not limit the number of boilers operated.
If DHW is to be incorporated into a low temperature system such as a
radiant heating system, a mixing device is often installed to isolate the high
DHW supply temperature from the lower system temperature. If a mixing
device is not installed, high temperature water could be supplied to the
low temperature system while trying to satisfy the DHW demand. This may
result in damage to the low temperature heating system. The control is
capable of providing DHW in such a system while maximizing the chance
that the temperature in the heating system does not exceed its allowed
maximum setting.
Primary
Pump
To prevent high temperature water from being introduced into the heating
system, the primary pump (Prim P1) must be turned off during a call for
DHW. To do this, the control must be set to DHW MODE 2 or DHW MODE 4
and Boil MIN must be set to OFF.
DHW MODE 2 OPERATION
On a call for DHW, the control provides DHW priority by shutting off the primary pump (Prim P1) for a period of time. This time is
based on the DHW Priority Override setting. However, if the DHW Demand is not satisfied within the allotted time, the boiler(s) shuts
off and the heat of the boiler is purged into the DHW tank.
Once the boiler supply temperature is sufficiently reduced, the Boiler 3 / DHW contact shuts off. The heating system is turned on
for a period of time to prevent the building from cooling off. After a period of heating, and if the DHW Demand is still present, the
control shuts off the heating system and provides heat to the DHW tank once again.
For correct operation, close attention must be paid to the mechanical layout of the system. When the control turns off the primary
pump (Prim P1), flow to the heating system must stop. If flow is not stopped, the temperature in the heating system can exceed the
maximum desired temperature and can result in damage to the heating system.
DHW
Pump

Pump
DHW MODE 4 OPERATION
In DHW MODE 4, the space heating zones must be prevented from coming on during DHW demands using external wiring. This
can be done using an external relay to remove power from zone pumps or zone valves while a DHW Demand is present. This
external relay is interlocked with the Boiler 3 / DHW contact.
During a DHW Demand, the control closes the primary pump (Prim P1) contact and the Boiler 3 / DHW contact. Once the DHW
Demand is removed, or during a DHW priority override, the Boiler 3 / DHW contact is opened, and the external wiring should allow
the space heating zones to operate.
There is no mixing purge available in DHW MODE 4. After DHW priority, the boiler supply water temperature may exceed the design
water temperature of the space heating system and can result in damage to the heating system.
Note: Setpoint operation is only available when DHW MODE is set to OFF.
SETPOINT
The control can operate to satisfy the requirements of a setpoint load in addition to a space heating load. A setpoint load overrides
the current outdoor reset temperature and WWSD setting in order to provide heat to the setpoint load.
SETPOINT DEMAND
A Setpoint Demand is required in order for the control to provide heat to the setpoint load.
The control registers a setpoint demand when a voltage between 24 and 230 V (ac) is
applied across the Setp / DHW Dem and Com Dem terminals (31 and 30). Once voltage
is applied, the Setpoint Demand pointer turns on in the LCD. The control operates the
boiler(s) to maintain at least the setpoint setting.
BOILER TARGET DURING SETPOINT
The boiler target temperature during a setpoint demand is increased to at least the Setpoint
setting. This temperature is maintained as long as the control has a setpoint demand.

SETP MODE 1 - Setpoint in Parallel
Whenever a setpoint demand is present, the boiler(s) is operated to maintain the setpoint target. The primary pump contact does not

It is assumed that the Setpoint pump will provide adequate flow through the heat exchanger and the boiler.

SETP MODE 3 – Primary Pump during Setpoint
Whenever a setpoint demand is present, the primary pump (Prim P1) is turned on and the boiler(s) is operated to maintain the
setpoint target.
SETPOINT PRIORITY OVERRIDE
The setpoint has a Priority Override while in SETP MODE 2. In order to prevent the building from cooling off too much or the
possibility of a potential freeze up during setpoint priority, the control limits the amount of time for setpoint priority. The length of
Setpoint priority is determined by the Priority Override setting. Once the allowed time for priority has elapsed, the control overrides
the setpoint priority and operates setpoint and heating simultaneously by turning on the primary pump (Prim P1).
CONDITIONAL SETPOINT PRIORITY
If the boiler(s) supply temperature is maintained at or above the required temperature during setpoint generation, this indicates that
the boiler(s) has enough capacity for setpoint and possibly heating as well. As long as the boiler target temperature is maintained
and the heating and setpoint targets are similar, setpoint and heating occur at the same time.
DHW or Setpoint operation is available during External Input operation. Boiler Demands are not active when the Stand Alone / External
Input DIP switch is set to External Input.
EXTERNAL INPUT
The control can accept an external DC signal in place of the outdoor sensor. The control converts the DC signal into the appropriate
boiler target temperature between 50°F (10°C) and 210°F (99°C) based on the External Input Signal and Offset settings. To use
the external input signal, the External Input / Stand Alone DIP switch must be set to External Input.
When operating in the external input mode, an external signal is required in order for the control to provide heat to the heating
system. An external signal is generated by applying a voltage between 0 V (dc) and 10 V (dc) across the Out + and Com – terminals
(4 and 1). Voltages that exceed 10 V (dc) will still be considered a 10 V (dc) signal. Once voltage is applied, the control closes the
primary pump contact and the control calculates a boiler target supply temperature based on the external input signal and the
settings made in the control. The control then fires the boiler(s), if required, to maintain the target supply temperature. If the external
signal goes below the minimum voltage, the boiler target temperature is displayed as “– – –” to indicate that there is no longer a call
for heating. The primary pump and boiler pumps operate as described in section G.
INPUT SIGNAL
The control can accept either a 0 - 10 V (dc) signal or a 2 - 10 V (dc) signal. The External Input Signal setting must be set to the
proper setting based on the signal that is being sent to the control.
0 - 10 V (dc) or 0 - 20 mA
When the 0 - 10 V (dc) signal is selected, an input voltage of 1 V (dc) corresponds to a boiler target temperature of 50°F (10°C).
An input voltage of 10 V (dc) corresponds to a boiler target temperature of 210°F (99°C). As the voltage varies between 1 V (dc)
and 10 V (dc) the boiler target temperature varies linearly between 50°F (10°C) and 210°F (99°C). If a voltage below 0.5 V (dc) is
received the boiler target temperature is displayed as “– – –” indicating that there is no longer a call for heating.
A 0 - 20 mA signal can be converted to a 0 - 10 V (dc) signal by installing a 500 Ω ¼ W resistor between the Out + and Com –
terminals (4 and 1).
2 - 10 V (dc) or 4 - 20 mA
When the 2 - 10 V (dc) signal is selected, an input voltage of 2 V (dc) corresponds to a boiler target temperature of 50°F (10°C).
An input voltage of 10 V (dc) corresponds to a boiler target temperature of 210°F (99°C). As the voltage varies between 2 V (dc)
and 10 V (dc) the boiler target temperature varies linearly between 50°F (10°C) and 210°F (99°C). If a voltage below 1.5 V (dc) is
received the boiler target temperature is displayed as “– – –” indicating that there is no longer a call for heating.
A 4 - 20 mA signal can be converted to a 2 - 10 V (dc) signal by installing a 500 Ω resistor between the Out + and Com –
terminals (4 and 1).
The Offset setting allows the boiler target temperature to be fine tuned to the external input signal. The control reads the external
input signal and converts this to a boiler target temperature. The Offset setting is then added to the boiler target temperature
The primary pump operates under the following conditions:
• A boiler demand is present and the control is not in Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD).
• An external input signal is present.
• A DHW demand is present and DHW MODE is set to 3 or 4.
• A setpoint demand is present and Setpoint MODE is set to 3.
Primary Pump Purge
After all demands are removed, the control continues to operate the primary pump for a period of time. The maximum length of time
that the primary pump continues to run is adjustable using the Purge setting. The primary pump continues to run until either the
purging time has elapsed or the boiler supply temperature drops more than ½ of the differential below the boiler minimum setting.
The control can operate a boiler pump on each boiler in addition to the primary pump. The boiler pump turns on prior to the boiler
firing and continues to run after the boiler is turned off. The amount of time that the boiler pump turns on prior to the boiler firing is
de ter mine d by the boil er mass settin g. A s the boi ler mass setti ng is inc reas ed, the b oile r pump pr e-pur ge t ime of t he al so i ncreases.
However, if the control is operating only on a setpoint demand, the boiler pump turns on immediately before the boiler fires.

Primary Pump Contact (Prim P1)
The PrimP1 output terminal (12) is a powered output. When the relay in the control
closes, 115 V (ac) is provided to the Prim P1 terminal (12) from the Power L terminal (13).
To operate the primary pump, connect one side of the primary pump circuit to terminal
(12) and the second side of the pump circuit to the neutral (Power N) side of the
115 V (ac) power supply.
The Combustion Air / Alert Contact (C.A. / Alert) terminals (15 and 16) are an isolated
output in the control. There is no power available on these terminals from the control.
These terminals are to be used as a switch to either make or break power to the combustion air damper or alert. Since this is an isolated contact, it may switch a voltage
between 24 V (ac) and 230 V (ac).
Boiler 1 and Boiler 2 Contacts
The Boiler1 and Boiler2 terminals (17 and 18, 19 and 20) are isolated outputs in
the control. There is no power available on these terminals from the control. These
terminals are to be used as a switch to enable the modulating boiler. Since this is an
isolated contact, it may switch a voltage between 24 V (ac) and 230 V (ac).
Boiler 3 / DHW Contact
Boiler Operation
The Boiler3/DHW terminals (21 and 22) are isolated outputs in the control. There
is no power available on these terminals from the control. These terminals are to be

UnOccupied Switch
If an external timer (tekmar Timer 032) or switch is used, connect the two wires from the
external switch to the Com and UnO Sw terminals (1 and 5). When these two terminals
are shorted together, the control registers an unoccupied (UNOCC) signal.
Each terminal block must be unplugged from its header on the control before power is applied for testing. To remove the terminal
block, pull straight down from the control.
The following tests are to be performed using standard testing practices and procedures and should only be carried out by
properly trained and experienced persons.
A good quality electrical test meter, capable of reading from at least 0 – 300 V (ac) and at least 0 – 2,000,000 Ohms, is essential
to properly test the wiring and sensors.
Test the Sensors
In order to test the sensors, the actual temperature at each sensor
location must be measured. A good quality digital thermometer with
a surface temperature probe is recommended for ease of use and
accuracy. Where a digital thermometer is not available, a spare sensor
can be strapped alongside the one to be tested and the readings
compared. Test the sensors according to the instructions in the Data
Brochure D 070.

Boiler Demand
If a boiler demand is used, measure the voltage between the
BoilDem and ComDem terminals (29 and 30). When the boiler
demand device calls for heat, a voltage between 20 and 260 V (ac)
should be measured at the terminals. When the boiler demand
device is off, less than 5 V (ac) should be measured.

Make sure all power to the devices and terminal blocks is off, and remove any remaining
jumpers from the terminals.
Reconnect the terminal blocks to the control by carefully aligning them with their
respective headers on the control, and then pushing the terminal blocks into the headers.
The terminal blocks should snap firmly into place.
Install the supplied safety dividers between the unpowered sensor inputs and the
powered or 115 V (ac) wiring chambers.
Apply power to the control. The operation of the control on power up is described in the
Sequence of Operation section of the brochure.
Test the Modulating Outputs
Connect a n ammeter to the modulatin g output Mod 1 terminals (6 and 7)
and observe the current reading during operation or during the Test
Sequence in the Test the Control section. For example, when using
a 4 - 20 mA output, the initial percentage output is zero and the
meter should read 4 mA. As the Boiler 1 Modulation increases in the
VIEW menu, the meter reading should increase until 100% Boiler 1
Modulation is reached at which point the meter should read 20 mA.
When the 4 - 20 mA modulation decreases, the meter should start at
20 mA and eventually reach 4 mA when the display shows 0% Boiler 1
Modulation.
Repeat the same procedure for modulating output Mod 2
terminals (8 and 9) and Mod 3 terminals (10 and 11).

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 pages for a list of the control’s error messages and possible causes.
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 C.A. / Alert contact is closed.
Step 2 – The C.A. / Alert contact is opened if the Alert / C.A. DIP switch is set to Alert.
Step 3 – The primary pump is turned on.
Step 4 – For each Boiler that is set to automatic or CP1, the following sequence is used:
• The Boiler Pump is turned on.
• The Modulation Output is modulated up to the Minimum Modulation setting.
• The Boiler Enable Contact is closed and waits for at least 10 seconds or the Fire Delay time.
• If there is a demand, the Boiler is modulated up to Maximum Modulation according to the Motor Speed setting.
• If there is a demand, the Boiler is modulates down to Minimum Modulation.
• The Boiler Enable Contact is opened.
• The Modulation Output is modulated down to 0%.
• Boiler Pump is shut off.
• Step 4 is repeated for each additional boiler set to automatic, or CP1.
Step 5 – If Boiler 3 is set to OFF and DHW MODE is set to 3 or 4, the DHW contact is closed and the primary pump stays on.
– If Boiler 3 is set to OFF and DHW MODE is set to 1 or 2, the DHW contact is closed, and the primary pump is shut off.
Step 6 – The control exits the Test sequence.
MAX HEAT
The control has a function called Max Heat. In this mode, the control turns on and operates the system up to the maximum set
temperatures as long as there is a demand for heat. The control continues to operate in this mode for up to 24 hours or until the
Item, Menu or Tes t button is pressed. This mode may be used for running all circulators during system start-up in order to purge
air from the piping. To enable the Max Heat feature, use the following procedure.
1) Press and hold the Test button for more than 3 seconds. At
this point, the control flashes the MAX segment and displays
the word OFF.
2) Using the ▲ or ▼ buttons, select the word On. After 3 seconds,
the control turns on all outputs. However, the max heat mode
is still limited by the BOIL MAX setting.
3) To cancel the Max Heat mode, press the Item, Menu, or
Tes t button.
4) Once the Max Heat mode has either ended or is cancelled,
the control resumes normal operation.
The control was unable to read a piece of information stored in its memory. Because of this, the control
was required to reload the factory settings into all of the items in the ADJUST menu. 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.
Note: The Installer / Advanced DIP Switch must be set to Advanced in order to clear the error.
The control is no longer able to read the outdoor sensor due to a short circuit. In this case the control
assumes an outdoor temperature of 32°F (0°C) and continues operation. Locate and repair the problem
as described in the Data Brochure D 070. To clear the error message from the control after the sensor
has been repaired, press either the Menu or Item button.
This error message can only occur if the External Input / Stand Alone DIP switch is set to Stand Alone.
The control is no longer able to read the outdoor sensor due to an open circuit. In this case the control
assumes an outdoor temperature of 32°F (0°C) and continues operation. Locate and repair the problem

has been repaired, press either the Menu or Item button.
This error message can only occur if the External Input / Stand Alone DIP switch is set to Stand Alone.
The control is no longer able to read the boiler supply sensor due to a short circuit. The control will not

Brochure D 070. To clear the error message from the control after the sensor has been repaired, press
either the Menu or Item button.
The control is no longer able to read the boiler supply sensor due to an open circuit. The control will
not operate the boiler(s) until the sensor is repaired. Locate and repair the problem as described in the
Data Brochure D 070. To clear the error message from the control after the sensor has been repaired,
press either the Menu or Item button.
The control is no longer able to read the boiler return sensor due to a short circuit. The control will
continue to operate normally. Locate and repair the problem as described in the Data Brochure D 070.
To clear the error message from the control after the sensor has been repaired, press either the Menu
or Item button.
The control is no longer able to read the boiler return sensor due to an open circuit. The control will
continue to operate normally. Locate and repair the problem as described in the Data Brochure D 070.
To clear the error message from the control after the sensor has been repaired, press either the Menu
or Item button.
If the boiler return sensor was deliberately removed from the control, remove power from the control
and repower the control to clear the error message.
The control has detected no increase in the supply water temperature within the BOIL Alert time setting.
Check to see if the boilers are operating properly using the Test button. To reset the alert, press and
hold the ▲ and ▼ buttons for 5 seconds while in the VIEW menu.
