10.6  EZ SETUP 

 

Navigation:  Home Screen  >  Main Menu  >  EZ Setup 

The EZ Setup menus provide a simple way to quickly customize the controller  for each 
installation.  EZ Setup prompts the user to make selections which allows the Esteem 399 boiler 
to be setup very quickly without searching through long lists of settings and manually making 
adjustments. 

10.7  HEATING EZ SETUP 

 

Navigation:  Home Screen  >  Main Menu  >  EZ Setup  >  Heating EZ Setup 

Heating EZ Setup allows the installer to quickly customize the central heating settings for the 
application. 

10.7.1  Select CH Demand (Default: Switch & Outdoor Reset) 

Select CH Demand prompts the installer to select how a CH Demand is generated.  Press the 
UP  or DOWN  buttons to select the CH Demand type then  press the OK  button to store the 
setting.  The Select CH Demand options are: 

•

 

Switch & Outdoor Reset: 

This option is only displayed when the  outdoor temperature 

sensor is connected.  A central heating call from a thermostat or zone panel will enable 
the  Esteem  and the setpoint will  vary with the outdoor temperature for central heating 
calls. 

•

 

Switch & Setpoint: 

This option is only displayed when the outdoor temperature sensor is 

not connected.  A central heating call from a thermostat or zone panel will enable the 
Esteem and the setpoint will be fixed for central heating calls 

•

 

Constant & Outdoor Reset: 

This option is only displayed when the outdoor temperature 

sensor is connected.  The Esteem will maintain set-point without an external call from a 
thermostat or zone panel.  The set-point will vary with the outdoor temperature for central 
heating calls. 

•

 

Constant & Setpoint: 

The Esteem will maintain setpoint without an external call from a 

thermostat or zone panel. The setpoint will be fixed for central heating calls. 

•

 

0-10V Modulation Signal: 

This option allows the Esteem firing rate to be controlled by 

an external control system.
