Introduction
The Universal Reset Module 422 provides outdoor reset to a hydronic heating system in order to maximize comfort and efficiency. The 422 can operate a single on / off boiler or a single modulating boiler. The 422 can override the outdoor reset water temperature to provide Domestic Hot Water or Setpoint operations. The 422 can operate two outdoor reset water temperatures, either one boiler water temperature and a single mix water temperature, or two mix water temperatures. To operate two mixing devices, a Mixing Expansion Module must be connected to the 422. The single mix output can operate a floating action mixing valve or a variable speed injection pump.

tN4 Boiler / Mix 2
Off / Flushing
Use the tN4 Boiler / Mix 2 DIP switch to select whether the second tN4 bus (terminals 59-60) is to operate as a boiler water temperature or as a second mixing water temperature.
If set to Boiler, this creates a system with one boiler and one mix water temperature.
If set to Mix 2, this creates a system with two mix water temperatures. If Mix 2 is selected, a mixing expansion module must be connected to the Boiler / Mix 2 bus.
Boiler Sup / Ret
Use the Boiler Sensor Supply / Return DIP switch to select the location of the boiler sensor.
If the boiler sensor is located on the supply, this DIP switch should be set to Sup. The 422 is the control that determines the boiler water temperature. Set the boiler’s aquastat at least 20°F (11.0°C) higher than the Boiler Maximum setting.
If the 422 provides a heat demand to an external boiler control, this DIP switch must be set to Ret. Install the boiler sensor on the return side of the boiler loop. The boiler’s operating temperature is controlled by its aquastat, or an external boiler reset control.
The Off / Flushing DIP switch selects whether the control operates a Flushing feature. Heating systems that use potable water require periodic flushing to prevent the water from stagnating.
The flushing operation occurs if any zone has not operated for 7 days. All zones, mixing device(s), and applicable system pumps are turned on for 4 minutes.
To activate the Flushing feature, set to Flushing.
To deactivate the Flushing feature, set to Off.
tekmar Stager / Off
Use the tekmar Stager / Off DIP switch when a tekmar staging control is be connected to the 422 in order to operate multiple boilers. A tekmar stager may include Boiler Controls 264, 265, and 268.
If a tekmar Stager is installed, set to tekmar Stager. The 422 will then provide the stager with a target temperature via a 0-10 V (dc) signal. When the tekmar Stager / Off DIP switch is set to tekmar Stager, the Boiler Sensor DIP switch must be set to Sup.
If a tekmar Stager is not installed, set to Off.
Boil On-Off / Mod
The Boil On-Off / Mod DIP switch selects whether the control operates an On-Off boiler or the firing rate of a Modulating boiler.
If set to Boil On-Off, the control operates an On-Off boiler.
If set to Mod, the control operates a Modulating boiler.
Access Level
The Access Level restricts the number of Menus, Items, and Adjustments that can be accessed by the user. The Access Level setting is found in the Miscellaneous (MISC) menu. Select the appropriate access level for the people who work with the control on a regular basis.
There are two Access Level settings:
Installer (InS): This is the factory default setting. This access level is sufficient for the normal set up of the control.
Advanced (Ad): All of the control settings are available to the user.
In the following menu tables, the access level the item is visible in is shown in the access column.

Sequence of Operation
tekmarNet®4 Communication Section A
tekmarNet®4 (tN4) communicates between tN4 devices (thermostats, Reset Module and Expansion Modules). Each tN4 device is connected to a tN4 communication bus using two wires. Each tN4 bus adjusts a single water temperature in the system using indoor temperature feedback. The Universal Reset Module 422 allows for two tN4 buses. This allows you to control a system with two separate water temperatures.
A system that has more than one tN4 bus is referred to as a tN4 network.

Outdoor Reset Module
The Universal Reset Module 422 is the system control for a hydronic heating system. The 422 operates a single heat source such as a boiler, one or two mixing devices, a domestic hot water tank, and responds to other heating requirements such as pool heating and snow melting. The 422 also coordinates and optimizes the operation of all the tN4 thermostats.
tN4 Thermostat
The tN4 thermostat operates heating, cooling, and or ventilation equipment for a zone. Several tN4 thermostats may work in a group when operating a cooling system. Up to 24 tN4 thermostats can connect to a single tN4 bus.
Outdoor Reset Section B
In a heating system, the rate of heat supplied to the building must equal the rate of which heat is lost. If the two rates are not equal, the building will either cool off or over heat.
The rate of building heat loss depends mostly on the outdoor temperature. Outdoor Reset allows a hot water heating system to increase the water temperature, adding heat to the building, as the outdoor temperature drops. The rate at which the water temperature is changed is defined by the characterized heating curve.
Characterized Heating Curves
A characterized heating curve determines the amount the supply water temperature is raised for every 1° drop in outdoor air temperature. There is a characterized heating curve for each tN4 communication bus.
The characterized heating curve takes into account the type of terminal unit that the system is using. Since different types of heating terminal units transfer heat to a space using different proportions of radiation, convection and conduction, the supply water temperature must be controlled differently. Each tN4 bus is assigned a terminal unit setting that the control uses to vary the supply water temperature to suit to the terminal unit used. This improves the control of the air temperature in the building.
Indoor Temperature Feedback
Most buildings have internal heat gains due to people, passive solar heating and mechanical or electrical equipment. Likewise, wind loads cause a building to lose heat faster than during design conditions. If only the outdoor temperature is measured, the control cannot compensate for these internal heat gains or loses and the building may over or under heat. In order to maintain the most comfortable temperature, the control uses indoor temperature feedback from tN4 thermostats in order to adjust the water temperature on each tN4 bus on a continual basis.

Terminal Unit
There is a terminal unit setting for each tN4 bus. The Terminal Unit setting is found in the Adjust menu.
Hydronic Radiant Floor (1)
Terminal type 1 is a heavy, or high mass, hydronic radiant floor 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.
Hydronic Radiant Floor (2)
Terminal type 2 is a light, or low mass, hydronic radiant floor system. Most commonly, 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 subfloor and the surface. This type of radiant system has a relatively low thermal mass and responds faster than a high mass system.
Radiator (5)
Terminal type 5 is 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)
Terminal type 6 is 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.
Fancoil (3)
Terminal type 3 is a fancoil terminal unit or air handling unit (AHU) consisting 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)
Terminal type 4 is 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 is dependant on the supply water temperature to the heating element and the room air temperature.
Outdoor Design Temperature
The outdoor design temperature is typically the coldest outdoor air temperature of the year. This temperature is used when doing the heat loss calculations for the building and is used to size the heating system equipment. If a cold outdoor design temperature is selected, the supply water temperature rises gradually as the outdoor temperature drops. If a warm outdoor design temperature is selected, the supply water temperature rises rapidly as the outdoor temperature drops.
The outdoor design setting is found in the Adjust menu.
Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD)
The Warm Weather Shut Down is the outdoor temperature at which hydronic heating is no longer required. The control closes mixing valves and variable speed pumps are not operated. The boiler operates only when a Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Demand or a Setpoint Demand is present.
The WWSD setting is found in the Adjust menu.

Boiler Outdoor Reset
Mix 1 and Mix 2 Outdoor Reset
There is a water temperature and therefore a characterized heating curve for each communication bus. When using boiler temperature water to heat zones, the installer will be required to set a boiler characterized heating curve. This requires the tN4 DIP switch to be set to Boiler and the Boiler Sensor DIP switch set to Supply.
Boiler Terminal Unit Defaults
When a terminal unit is selected for boiler zones, the control loads default values for the boiler design, boiler maximum supply, and boiler minimum supply temperatures. The factory defaults can be changed to better match the installed system. Locate the Boiler Terminal Unit setting in the Adjust menu.

Boiler Temperature Control Section C
The 422 is able to operate a single, hot water, on-off or modulating boiler as a heat source. For proper operation of the boiler, the 422 must be the only control that determines when the boiler is to fire. In this case, the boiler sensor should be located on the boiler supply pipe and the Boiler Sensor DIP switch is set to Supply.
*Important note: The boiler operator, also known as an aquastat, remains in the burner circuit and acts as a secondary upper limit on the boiler temperature. The boiler operator temperature setting must be adjusted above the 422’s Boiler Maximum setting in order to prevent short cycling of the boiler burner.
Boiler Target Temperature
The boiler target temperature is determined by connected tN4 devices or by a DHW or Setpoint demand received by the control. The tN4 devices determine the highest water temperature required and then, requests this temperature on the tN4 boiler bus. The temperature request creates a Boiler Demand and this is indicated on the display. A DHW demand and a Setpoint demand have temperature settings to which the boilers are operated to meet and are able to override the tN4 bus temperature if required.
The control displays the temperature that it is currently trying to maintain as the boiler supply temperature in the View menu. 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.
Operation of the tN4 Boiler / Mix 2 Bus
The 422 has two available tN4 communication buses. One bus is dedicated for a mix water temperature and is known as Mix 1. The second bus can operate at either boiler water temperatures or at mixing water temperatures. The tN4 Boiler / Mix 2 DIP switch affects the operation of the boiler target temperature. The mix 1 bus is connected to a Zone manager via the plug on the underside of the board. The boiler / Mix 2 bus is connected to a Zone manager via terminals 59 and 60.
Boiler Temperature Zones
When the control is to operate boiler temperature zones, the Boiler / Mix 2 tN4 DIP switch must be set to Boiler. The Boiler Bus then operates the boiler directly in order to heat the zones operated by tN4 thermostats connected to this bus. The boiler water temperature target will be determined based upon boiler outdoor reset and indoor feedback from the tN4 thermostats.
Mix Temperature Zones
When the control is to operate mix temperature zones, the Boiler / Mix 2 tN4 DIP switch must be set to Mix 2. The Mix 2 Bus uses a second mixing device to maintain a mix 2 water temperature target. The boiler target temperature is determined using Boiler Load Reset, in which the boiler water temperature is maintained at the lowest possible temperature that satisfies the heating load of the two mixing devices. See Mixing Operation for more information.
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 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.
Locate the Boiler Minimum setting in the Adjust menu.

On-Off Boiler Operation
Modulating Boiler Operation
If the heat source is an On-Off Boiler, the Boil On-Off / Mod DIP switch must be set to On-Off.
Differential
An on / off heat source must be operated with a differential in order to prevent short cycling. With the control, either a fixed or an auto differential may be selected. The boiler differential is divided around the boiler target temperature. The boiler contact closes when the supply water temperature is 1/2 of the differential setting below the boiler target temperature. As the supply temperature reaches 1/2 of the differential above the boiler target temperature, the boiler is shut off.
Locate the Boiler Differential setting in the Adjust menu.

Heating Load
The 422 can operate a single hot-water modulating boiler. This requires the use of the Mod (dc) output on the 422.
To operate a modulating boiler, the Boil On-Off / Mod DIP switch must be set to Mod. The control operates the boiler by first switching the boiler contact to allow the modulating boiler to go through the ignition sequence (the boiler contact may not be required on all modulating boilers). A 0-10 V (dc) analog signal is used to modulate the boiler firing rate from the Minimum Modulation setting using Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) logic in order to satisfy the
boiler target temperature. A modulating boiler requires all the same settings as an
on-off boiler in addition to the settings below.
Modulating Boiler 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 burner ignites at low fire when the supply water temperature is 1/2 of the Boiler Differential setting below the boiler target temperature. The boiler is shut off in low fire as the supply temperature reaches at least 1/2 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.
Boiler Motor Speed
The Boiler Motor Speed is the amount of time the boiler requires to go from 0% modulation to 100% modulation.
Gas valve actuating motors have a design time from fully closed to fully open which can be found in the manufacturer’s manual. The Boiler Motor Speed should be set to this time.
The Boiler 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.
Locate the Boiler Motor Speed setting in the Adjust menu.

Page 21
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 default setting is 0%. For boilers with electronic operators, the boiler’s input signal
range may not match the output signal range of the 422 control. The Minimum Modulation setting limits the control output range in order to match the boiler’s input range.
Locate the Minimum Modulation setting in the Adjust menu.
To calculate the Minimum Modulation, use the following formula:
For 0-10 V (dc):
Minimum Modulation = 0 V (dc) - Boiler’s Minimum Input Signal x 100%
0-10 V (dc)
Example:
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 422 control has an output signal range of 0-10 V (dc).
To make the two signal ranges the same, the Minimum Modulation required is:
Minimum Modulation = 0 V-1.8 V x 100% = 18% 0 V-10 V
10 V (dc)
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 default setting is 100%. For boilers with electronic operators, the boiler’s input signal
range may not match the output signal range of the 422 control. The Maximum Modulation setting limits the control output range in order to match the boiler’s input range.
Locate the Maximum Modulation setting in the Adjust menu.
To calculate the Maximum Modulation, use the following formula:
For 0-10 V (dc):
Maximum Modulation = 0 V (dc) – Boiler’s Maximum Input Signal x 100%
0-10 V (dc)
Example:
A boiler’s input signal range is 2-9 V (dc). The 422 control has an output signal range of 0-10 V (dc).
To make the two signal ranges the same, the Maximum Modulation required is:
Maximum Modulation = 0 V-9 V x 100% = 90% 0 V-10 V

tekmar Stager Operation Section D
In some cases, multiple boilers may be required. In these cases, the 422 allows for a connection to a tekmar Boiler Control 264, 265, or 268. The 422 uses the modulating output to provide a 0-10 V (dc) signal to the external input terminals on the Boiler Control. The 422 controls the Boiler Control target temperature by changing the voltage signal. The Boiler Control responds to the boiler target by staging the multiple boilers.
The following table can be used to convert a 0-10 V (dc) signal to a boiler target temperature:
To use the tekmar Staging operation, the following DIP switch settings are required:
1. Set the 422 Off / tekmar Stager DIP switch to tekmar Stager.
2. Set the 422 Boil Sup / Ret DIP switch to Sup.
3. Set the 422 Boil On-Off / Mod DIP switch to Mod.
The 422 boiler sensor must be located on the supply pipe leading from the boilers. On the Boiler Control 264, 265, or 268, the External Input / Stand Alone DIP switch must be set to External Input. Any domestic hot water (DHW) demands or setpoint demands in the system must connect to the 422 in order to allow for DHW or setpoint priority.

Boiler Enable Section E
If the 422 is one of many controls that can call for heat to a single boiler or there is a boiler sequencer other than a tekmar Stager (Boiler Control 264, 265, 268), operating multiple boilers or multiple stages, then the boiler sensor must be located on the return pipe of the boiler(s).
When the sensor is located on the return, the 422 provides a boiler enable. The 422 no longer tries to control the boiler supply water temperature directly, but allows another operating control such as an aquastat to regulate the boiler supply temperature.
When there is a requirement for heat from the 422 mixing device(s), or a DHW Demand, or a Setpoint Demand is present, the 422 boiler contact closes to enable the boiler. The boiler contact remains closed until heat is no longer required.
When the boiler sensor is located on the boiler return, the control is able to provide boiler return protection through the use of a mixing device. This protects the boiler sustained flue gas condensation and thermal shock.
*Important note: The tN4 DIP switch cannot be set to Boiler while the Boiler Sensor DIP switch is set to Return.
To operate the control without a boiler sensor and prevent the control from displaying an error message, set the boiler sensor DIP switch to Return and power up the control without the boiler sensor connected.
The control operation will be similar to that as having the boiler sensor on the return except that boiler return protection is no longer provided.
Zone Load Shedding Section F
If the boiler temperature approaches the boiler minimum setting, the control can turn off certain high temperature zones in order to reduce the load on the boiler. This is known as Zone Load Shedding. Zones are shed in the following order:
1. The second stage of any 2-stage thermostats which have “BOIL” selected as their heat source in order of decreasing priority. Priority is determined by the address number of the thermostat (b:01 is the highest priority, 3:24 is the lowest priority).
2. The first stage of any thermostats on the boiler bus, again, in order of decreasing priority. The first stage of the highest priority thermostat (lowest address number) will not be shed unless there is also a setpoint or DHW call.
When the boiler supply temperature goes above the minimum setting, the control begins restoring the load by turning first stages back on in the reverse order that they were shed, followed by second stages in the reverse order that they were shed.
Mixing Operation Section G
The 422 has two tN4 communication buses. The first bus is dedicated for a mix water temperature and is known as Mix 1. The second bus can be selected to be either boiler or mixing depending on the tN4 DIP switch position. When the tN4 DIP switch is set to Mixing, the second bus is known as Mix 2. Mix 2 requires that a Mixing Expansion Module be connected to the Mix 2 tN4 bus.
A Mixing Expansion Module is required in order to use the second mixing temperature. The Mixing Expansion Module operates at the percent output that the 422 determines is required.
Each of the following settings must be set for the Mix 1 bus and for the Mix 2 bus when the tN4 DIP switch is set to Mix 2.
© 2007 D 422 - 08/07 22 of 32
Mix 1 Mode
A mixing device allows the control to reduce the boiler water temperature down to a lower water temperature. A mixing device when used with a boiler sensor also allows the control to protect the boiler from sustained flue gas condensation and thermal shock.
The Mix 1 outputs are built-in to the 422. The type of mixing device for Mix 1 is selected using the Mix 1 Mode setting. The mixing devices that can be selected are variable speed injection (VAr) and floating action (FLt).
Locate the Mix 1 Mode setting in the Adjust menu.
Page 23
Variable Speed Injection
A standard wet rotor circulator can be connected to the Variable Speed output on the control for Mix 1 and on a Mixing Module for Mix 2. The control increases or decreases the power output to the circulator when there is a requirement for mixing. The circulator speed varies to maintain the correct mixed supply water temperature at the mix supply sensor. For correct sizing and piping of the variable speed injection circulator, refer to essay E 021. A visual indication of the current variable speed output is displayed in the LCD in the form of a bar graph along with the Mix 1 or the Mix 2 segment to indicate which mixing device is being currently viewed.
Floating Action
A floating action actuator motor can be connected to the control (Mix 1) or a Mixing Module (Mix 2) on the Opn and Cls terminals. The control pulses the actuator motor open or close to maintain the correct supply water temperature at the mix supply sensor when there is a requirement for mixing. The mixing valve that the actuator is connected to can be either a 2-way, 3-way or 4-way valve. A visual indication as to whether the control is currently opening or closing the mixing valve is displayed in the LCD with the words OPN and CLS while viewing the Mix Supply or Mix Target temperatures. Also, a visual indication of the current position of the valve is displayed in the form of a bar graph along with the Mix 1 or the Mix 2 segment to indicate which mixing device is being currently viewed.
Mix 1 and Mix 2 Minimum
The Mix 1 and Mix 2 Minimum settings are the lowest temperature that the control is allowed to use as a mix target temperature. During mild conditions, if the control calculates a mix target temperature that is below the mix minimum setting, the mix target temperature is adjusted to match the mix minimum setting. During this condition, if the mixing supply temperature is near the mix minimum setting, the Min segment turns on in the LCD when either the mix target temperature or the mix supply temperature is being viewed.
Locate the Mix 1 and the Mix 2 Minimum settings in the Adjust menu.
Mix 1 and Mix 2 Maximum
The Mix 1 Maximum and Mix 2 Maximum set the highest water temperature that the control is allowed to use as a mix target temperature. If the control does target the mix maximum setting, and the mix supply temperature is near the mix maximum temperature, the Max segment turns on in the LCD when either the mix target temperature or the mix supply temperature is viewed.
Locate the Mix 1 and the Mix 2 Maximum settings in the Adjust menu.
Boiler Minimum Protection
The control is capable of providing boiler protection from cold mixing system return water temperatures. If the boiler water temperature is cooler than the Boiler Minimum setting while the boiler is firing, the control reduces the output from the mixing devices. Both mixing outputs are reduced at the same rate. Reducing the mixing output limits the amount of cool return water to the boiler and allows the boiler water temperature to recover. This feature can only be used if the boiler sensor is on the supply or on the return but is not available when the boiler sensor is not present.
Domestic Hot Water Temperature Operation Section H
DHW Demand
A powered 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. The control registers a DHW Demand when a voltage between 24 and 230 V (ac) is applied across the DHW Demand terminals (53 and 54).
Once the control detects a DHW demand, the DHW Demand segment turns on in the LCD.

Boiler Target Temperature
The boiler target temperature is at least as hot as the DHW Exchange setting. The DHW demand overrides the boiler reset target temperature, except when the boiler reset target is higher than the DHW exchange setting.
Locate the DHW Exchange setting in the Adjust menu.
DHW During UnOccupied
The control has a DHW Exchange UnOccupied setting that allows the installer to select On or Off. When set to On, and the control receives a DHW Demand during an UnOccupied or Sleep period, the control continues operation of the DHW system as it would during the Occupied and Wake periods. When set to Off, the control can ignore a DHW Demand for the duration of the UnOccupied and Sleep periods.
Page 24
DHW Mode and Priority Operation
The control has four different settings available for DHW Mode that affect pump operation. The required DHW Mode setting will depend on the piping arrangement of the DHW tank and whether or not priority for DHW is necessary. DHW Priority stops or limits the delivery of heat to the building heating system while the DHW tank calls for heat. This allows for quick recovery of the DHW tank.
Locate the DHW Mode setting in the Adjust menu.
DHW MODE 3 - DHW in Primary / Secondary no Priority

DHW MODE 1 - DHW in Parallel no Priority
When a DHW Demand is present, the DHW Pump contact closes. The primary pump (P1) does not turn on, but may operate based on either Boiler or Mixing requirements or a Setpoint Demand.

DHW MODE 2 - DHW in Parallel with Priority
When a DHW Demand is present, the DHW Pump contact closes. The primary pump (P1) can operate when a boiler demand is present. If the boiler is unable to maintain the boiler target temperature, space heating zones are shut off sequentially using tN4 communication in order to provide priority to the DHW tank. This is known as zone load shedding.
It is assumed that the DHW pump will provide adequate flow through the heat exchanger and the boiler.

DHW MODE 4 - DHW in Primary / Secondary with Priority
When a DHW Demand is present, the DHW Pump contact is closed and the primary pump (P1) is operated. Priority over space heating zones is achieved by shutting off the zone pumps or zone valves through tN4 communication.
This is known as zone load shedding.

DHW Priority Override
DHW Priority Override applies to DHW MODE 2 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. As the outdoor air temperature becomes colder, the length of time that the control provides DHW priority is reduced. Once the allowed time for priority has elapsed, the control overrides
the DHW priority and resumes space heating.

Conditional DHW Priority
DHW Mixing Purge
If the boiler supply temperature is maintained at or above the required temperature during DHW generation, this indicates that the boiler has enough capacity for DHW and possibly heating as well. As long as the boiler supply temperature is maintained near the target, DHW and heating occurs simultaneously.
After DHW operation, the boiler is extremely hot. At the same time, the heating zones may have cooled off considerably after being off for a period of time. When restarting the heating system after a DHW demand with priority, the control shuts off the boiler and continues to operate the DHW pump while the primary pump is turned on. This allows some of the DHW return water to mix with the cool return water from
DHW Post Purge
the zones and temper the boiler return water.
After the DHW Demand is removed, the control performs a purge on the boiler. The control shuts off the boiler and continues to operate the DHW pump and the primary pump (P1) if applicable. This purges the residual heat from the boiler into the DHW tank. The control continues this purge for a maximum of four minutes or until the boiler supply water temperature drops 20°F (-6.5°C) below the boiler target temperature during the DHW operation. The control also stops the purge if the boiler supply temperature drops

below the current boiler target temperature.
DHW with Low Temperature Boilers Section I
If DHW heating is to be incorporated into a low temperature system such as a radiant floor 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 heating in such a system while minimizing the chance that the temperature in the heating system exceeds the design supply water temperature. In order to do this, the control must be set to DHW MODE 2 or DHW MODE 4 and Boil MIN must be set to OFF.
On a call for DHW, the control provides DHW priority by sending a message on the boiler temperature bus to the tN4 thermostats to shut off the heating zones for a period of time. The length of time is based on the outdoor air temperature as described in the DHW Priority Override section. However, if the DHW Demand is not satisfied within the allotted time, the boiler shuts off and the heat of the boiler is purged into the DHW tank. A DHW mixing purge occurs in order to reduce the boiler water temperature and once the boiler supply temperature is sufficiently reduced, the DHW Pump contact shuts off. The heating system zones are allowed to turn 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.
Setpoint Temperature Operation Section J
Setpoint
The control can operate to satisfy the requirements of a setpoint load in addition to a space heating load and a DHW 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 a setpoint load.
The control registers a setpoint demand when a voltage between 24 and 230 V (ac) is applied across the Setpoint Demand terminals (55 and 56). Once voltage is applied,
the Setpoint Demand segment turns on in the LCD.

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.
Setpoint Mode 3 – Setpoint in Primary / Secondary
Whenever a setpoint demand is present, the primary pump (P1) is turned on and the boiler is operated to maintain the setpoint target.
Setpoint During UnOccupied
The control has a Setpoint UnOccupied setting that allows the installer to select On or Off. When set to On, and the control receives a Setpoint Demand during an UnOccupied or Sleep period, the control continues operation of the Setpoint system as it would during Occupied and Wake periods. When set to Off, the control can ignore a Setpoint Demand for the duration of the UnOccupied and Sleep periods.
Setpoint Modes
The Setpoint Mode determines the operation of the primary pump. The Setpoint Mode setting is found in the Adjust menu.
Setpoint Mode 1 - Setpoint in Parallel
Whenever a setpoint demand is present, the boiler is operated to maintain the setpoint target. The primary pump (P1) does not turn on, but may operate based on either a Boiler, Mixing or a DHW Demand.

Error Messages
Local Errors and Device Errors
Error messages are used to indicate a problem somewhere in the system. There are two types of error messages: Local Errors and Device Errors.
A Local Error indicates an error specific to a device. For example, a thermostat with a sensor short circuit will show a Sensor Short Error on its display. No other devices will show this specific error (unless they also have a sensor short circuit).
A Device Error is used to indicate that there is a local error somewhere else on the system. For example, if a thermostat has a sensor short circuit, that thermostat will show a Local Error indicating specifically what the problem is. All other devices on the network will show Device Errors, indicating the address of the device with the Local Error. In other words, Device Errors are nothing more than pointers, showing you that there is a local error somewhere on the system and where to find it.
Error Priority
Only one error can be shown on a particular device at a time. If there is more than one error on the system, the highest priority error will be the one that is shown. The table on pages 22 and 23 lists error messages in order of high priority to low priority.
How to Locate an Error Message
If the warning symbol (flashing circle with exclamation mark) is visible on screen, this indicates that there is an error somewhere on the system. To view the error message, you must first put the control into the Advanced or Installer access level (available in MISC menu). When an error message is present, it is available as an item in the VIEW menu.
While in the View Menu, press the item button until the error message is displayed. You may have to advance through several View Menu items before the message is displayed.
If the error message is a Device Error (if “DEV” or “DEV ERR” is shown on screen), read the address shown and go to the device with that address. That device will have a Local Error indicating specifically what the problem is. When the problem is corrected, the error message will automatically clear.
Access Levels
In some cases, it is not desirable to let day-to-day users view error messages. In these cases, by lowering the access level of the thermostat or setpoint device to ‘User’ or lower, error messages cannot be seen in the View menu and the warning symbol only appears if there is a local error or a device error caused by a critical error on another device. If there is an error message on the system that you cannot find on a particular thermostat, make sure that the access level on that thermostat is set to Installer or Advanced.
Sensor Temperature Errors
If a control is unable to display a temperature due to a sensor malfunction or communication problem, the word “Err” is displayed in place of the temperature. This usually indicates that there is an error somewhere on the system but is not the actual error message. Keep looking through the View menu to find the actual error message.
Device is attempting to show supply temperature but cannot because of
sensor problem.
Keep pressing the Item button to find the actual
error message
Once error is corrected, the temperature can be
displayed
