 DPM-2 SETUP

Common Terminology

Reset Ratio:

 The ratio between supply water temperature 

and outdoor temperature� For example, a ratio of 1�0 or 

1:1 means, for every one degree the outdoor temperature 

decreases, there will be a one degree increase in supply 

water temperature�

Max. Temp:

 The maximum supply water temperature when 

the outdoor temperature is 0°F�

Differential:

 

Measurement used to determine when the 

boiler will turn on and off. A ten degree differential will turn 

the boiler on at five degrees below the control point and 

off at five degrees above while a twenty degree differential 

will turn the boiler on at ten degrees above and off at ten 

below. The effect of differential is to prevent quick cycling of 

the boiler� 

General Wiring Notice

terminal screws 6 to 7 inch pounds.

U.S.A. - 

National Electric Code and any other nation-

al, state, or local code requirements. Wiring must be 

N.E.C. Class 1.

DPM-2 Control Set-up

1. 

Determine the reset ratio and adjust “Reset Ratio Trim 

Pot.” If  heat curve is unknown, try ratio of 1.0.

2. 

Turn “Max. Temp. Trim Pot” to design temperature of 

supply water (water temperature needed when outdoor 

temperature is 0°F)�

IMPORTANT:

 Boiler high limit must be set higher than 

“Max. Temp.” setting 

plus

 “Differential” or unit may operate 

erratically� 

3. 

Set “Differential Trim Pot” to scale (10°F). Boiler will 

turn off when water is 5°F above control point and 

back on again when water is 5°F below control point� 

If boiler does “Quick Cycle,” increase trim pot. Optimal 

performance is obtained when this setting is as low as 

possible, but still allows for a reasonable cycle time�
