Install and wire the Header

Sensor

Wire the header sensor to low voltage terminal strip terminals “Header sensor”.

nOTE

This step can not be skipped. The Sequence Master can not be “enabled”

unless a Header Sensor is installed.

Install Ethernet Cables between

boilers

Standard Ethernet type cables with RJ45 connectors are “plugged in” to the Boiler-to-Boiler

Communication Network connection located on the side of the boiler. When more than two boilers are

connected an RJ45 splitter may be used to connect the boilers. Refer to Figure 50.

Apply Power to All Boilers

Set Unique Boiler Addresses

Assign all boilers a

unique

Boiler Address using any number from 1 through 8.

WaRning

When two boiler’s addresses are the same undesirable simultaneous operation occurs.

Enable 1 Boiler Master

Enable only one

Sage2 Control’s Sequencer Master.

WaRning

When more than one Sequencer Master is enable erratic behavior will result.

Power Down All Boilers

Power Up Master Sequencer

“Enabled” Boiler First

Power Up Other Boilers

Confirm Communication

From the Home Screen of the Sage2 Control with the Master Sequencer “enabled”, select the Status

button. The Sequencer display shows the boiler address of the communicating boilers. Additionally,

from the “Home” screen select the “Detail” button and then the “Networked Boilers” buttons to view boiler

communication status.
If a boiler is not shown, check Ethernet cable connections and confirm all boilers have unique addresses.
