WARNINGS FOR THE HOMEOWNER
FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS and warnings
printed in this manual and posted on the boiler.
INSPECT THE BOILER ANNUALLY. To keep your
boiler safe and efcient, have a service technician
follow the Service checklist near the end of this
manual.
IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED to install or service
boilers, do not install or service this one.
THE BOILER MAY LEAK WATER at the end of
its useful life. Be sure to protect walls, carpets,
and valuables from water that could leak from the
boiler.
PROTECT YOUR HOME IN FREEZING
WEATHER. A power outage, safety lockout, or
component failure will prevent your boiler from
lighting. In winter, your pipes may freeze and cause
extensive property damage. If you must leave
your home unattended for an extended time when
outdoor temperatures are below 32°F, rst turn off
your home’s main water supply and drain the water
from all pipes.
DO NOT BLOCK OR OBSTRUCT ow of
combustion and ventilation air into or around the
boiler. Insufcient air may cause the boiler to
produce carbon monoxide or start a re.
KEEP BOILER AREA CLEAR AND FREE
from combustible materials, gasoline and other
ammable vapors and liquids.
KEEP CHILDREN AND PETS away from hot
surfaces of the boiler, boiler piping, and vent pipe.
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) is an odorless, deadly
gas that may be introduced into your home by
any malfunctioning fuel-burning product or vent
system failure. Consider installing CO alarms near
bedrooms in all levels of the building to warn you
and your family of potential CO exposure.

WARNINGS FOR THE INSTALLER
READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL before attempting
installation, start-up, or service. Improper
installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or
maintenance may cause serious property damage,
personal injury, or death.
DO NOT DISCONNECT PIPE FITTINGS on the
boiler or in the heating system without rst verifying
that the system is cool and free of pressure and
that your clothing will protect you from a release
of hot water or steam. Do not rely solely on the
boiler’s temperature and pressure gage when
making this judgment.
USE PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTION
EQUIPMENT when servicing or working near the
boiler. Materials of construction, ue products, and
fuel contain alumina, silica, heavy metals, carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and/or other toxic or
harmful substances that can are hazardous to
health and life and that are known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other
reproductive harm.
INSTALL ALL GUARDS, cover plates, and
enclosures before operating the boiler.
THIS INSTALLATION IS NOT COMPLETE until
the front air dam is installed (See Figure 2-a).
Product performance will be negatively affected if
the front air dam is not installed which can cause
serious property damage, personal injury or death.
SIZE THE BOILER PROPERLY relative to the
design heat load or, if using domestic hot water
priority, the peak hot water load, whichever
is larger. A grossly oversized boiler will cycle
excessively and this will lead to premature failure
of the boiler and its components. Our warranty
does not apply to damage from excessive cycling.
ADHERE TO ALL LOCAL CODE REQUIREMENTS.
1. Installation must conform to requirements
of authority having jurisdiction or in the
absence of such requirements, with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54, and/or the Natural Gas and Propane

More Information about Adjustable Parameters
1. High Limit (HL_)
The control is factory programmed with a
High Limit Setpoint of 180°F. The burner
turns "off" when the boiler temperature (bt)
is above this value. The High Limit setpoint
is adjustable between 140° and 220°F. The
Operating Setpoint (SP) will equal the High
Limit Setpoint unless an Outdoor Reset
IQ Option Card is installed. The Outdoor
Reset IQ Option Card reduces the Operating
Setpoint to regulate heat delivery, increase
home comfort and save energy. Refer to the
Appendix I for additional information.
2. Differential (df_)
The control is factory programmed with a
Differential of 15°F. The Differential is the
number of degrees the boiler temperature
must decrease below the Operating Setpoint
before the boiler can restart. The differential
is adjustable between 10° through 30°F.
3. Circulator Overrun Time (OR_)
The control is factory programmed with
a Circulator Overrun Time of 0 minutes.
Circulator Overrun Time (also called
“circulator off delay” or “circulator post
purge”) continues circulator operation after
a call for heat has ended, sending excess
heat from the boiler into the system. Ensure
system piping and zone panel settings allow
water ow to the priority zone after the call
for heat ends. The Circulator Overrun Time
is adjustable between 0 through 10 minutes.
3. Press the Up ñ and Down ò keys to adjust
the displayed item to the desired value.
4. To return to the normal operating mode from
the Adjustment Mode, when the "bAc” option
is displayed, press either the Up ñ or Down
ò key. If no keys are pressed, after ve (5)
minutes the control will automatically return
to the Operating Mode.
4. Circulator Pre-purge Time (PP_)
When the boiler is warm (boiler water
temperature higher than 140°F (adjustable
using Start Temperature parameter)) and
there is a thermostat call for heat, the
system circulator is started and boiler ring
is delayed Circulator Pre-purge minutes. If
the temperature drops below 140°F or there
is a DHW call for heat the boiler is started
without delay. Additionally, the boiler is
started without delay if the thermostat call
for heat is initiated when the boiler water
temperature is less than 140°F. This
feature helps save energy by satisfying
home heating needs with residual boiler
heat rather than cycling the boiler. The

Circulator Pre-purge time has a factory
setting of 2 minutes and is eld adjustable
between 2 and 20 minutes. When reset card
is installed, pre-purge time may be adjusted
down to zero (0) minutes. Refer to Table 8a.

Boiler
Temperature
Burner Status
Amount of “Heat available” is calculated
by taking the difference between measured
boiler water temperature and the Start
Temperature setting. Useful “Heat
Available” is dependent on the type of
heating emitter installed in the home.
Heat emitters require a certain minimum
temperature to operate effectively. Our
default settings reect cast iron radiators.
Fan Coils may require a start temperature
setting of 180°F or 160°F before providing
heat to the home. The Start Temperature
has a factory setting of 140°F and is eld
adjustable between 140°F and 180°F.
6. Priority Time (Pt_)
When the Priority Time parameter is set
to “on” and Domestic Hot Water (DHW)
call for heat is “on” the DHW demand will
take “Priority” over home heating demand.
During Priority Time the system circulator
will be forced “off”. Priority Time ends and
the system circulator is released to service
home heating demand when Domestic Hot
Water call for heat is over. When Priority
Time parameter is set to “Off” the DHW
call for heat does not force “off” the system
circulator. The Priority Time has a factory
setting of “On” and is eld adjustable
between “On” and “Off” Refer to Table 8b.
7. Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Terminal
Function (dh_)
The control allows conguration of the
DHW Circulator output functionality to help
the boiler integrate into each installation
more effectively. The DHW Circulator
output can be connected to a domestic hot
water circulator or a second heating zone
circulator. These applications are selected
as follows:
a. When dh_ is set equal to Domestic Hot
Water Demand (h)
When there is an Indirect Water Heater
(IWH) the control provides “DHW” input
terminals for the IWH Aquastat and “DHW
Circulator” output terminals for the DHW
Circulator. When there is a DHW call for
heat, the System Circulator is “forced off”,
the DHW Circulator terminal is energized
and the circulator pre-purge time delay
control logic is bypassed to allow the
boiler to re without delay. When DHW
demand ends the System Circulator
“force off” is removed, the circulator
can respond normally, and the DHW
Circulator is de-energized. The DHW
call for heat is detected by a voltage on
to the DHW terminal. When the Priority
Time parameter is set to “off” the System
Circulator is not forced off for a DHW call
for heat. Refer to Table 8b.

8. PROGRAM THE CONTROLS (continued)
b. When dh_ is set equal to Second Heating
Zone (tt2)
When there is no IWH the “DHW
Circulator” output may be congured to
control a second heating zone. This is
particularly helpful when the home uses
only two heating zones. The control
replaces the need for a two circulator
zone panel. When DHW Terminal
Function (dh_) is set to “tt2" the control’s
two circulator outputs are used to control
two independent heating zones. Refer
to Table 8c. A “TT” input causes a call
for heat and energizes the “System
Circulator” output to service heating zone
1 and a second zone's thermostat wired
to the “DHW” input causes a call for heat
and energizes heating zone 2 circulator
wired to the "DHW Circulator" output.
When there is a Second Heating Zone
(call for heat) the boiler is started and the
DHW Circulator terminal is energized.
When Second Heating Zone is deenergized the call for heat is ended and
the Second Heating Zone Circulator is
de-energized. A Second Heating Zone
is detected by sensing a voltage on the
DHW terminal.

Using the IQ Option Panel
IQ Option Cards are available from U.S. Boiler
Company distributors and are the simplest way
to add functionality, safety and efciency to your
heating system. The IQ Option Panel provides
an easy and convenient means to "plug-in" an
Auxiliary High Limit, Low Water Cut-off and/or
Outdoor Reset function.
For installation, programming, and troubleshooting
instructions, refer to the instructions supplied with
those cards.
Using the Optional LCD Display Kit
The LCD Display is an easy to use touch screen
type display that allows a technician to monitor and
adjust the control and connected IQ Option Cards.
All boiler settings, status and error codes are
displayed in full text. All Outdoor Reset IQ Option
Card parameters are adjustable with graphic and
help information screens. The LCD Display Kit
includes a mounting bracket and wiring harness
to allow mounting in the ES2 plastic hood above
the front door. For installation, programming,
and troubleshooting instructions, refer to the
instructions supplied with the display.
