G. Multiple Boiler Operating Information  

(continued)

Step

Description

Comments

1

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.

2

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 

31.  

3

Apply Power to All Boilers

4

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.

5

Enable 1 Boiler Master

Enable 

only one

 R7910 Control’s Sequencer Master.

WARNING

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

 

6

Power Down All Boilers

7

Power Up Master 

Sequencer

“Enabled” Boiler First

8

Power Up Other Boilers

9

Confirm Communication

From the Home Screen of the R7910 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.
