Two pump modes are available:

1. 

Pump Mode = 0 ‘CH or CH&DHW’

• In this mode either the CH or DHW pump terminal is 

energized depending on the type of demand (CH or DHW).

• CH and DHW pumps are never energized at the same time.

• In the case of a simultaneous call for both CH and DHW, 

the energized pump depends on whether the boiler is 

currently supplying the CH or DHW demand. Refer to DHW 

Priority settings below.

• This is typical of a hydronic system design with separate CH 

and DHW Pumps.

2. 

Pump Mode = 4 ‘System Pump’

• In this mode only one external system pump is installed in 

the hydronic system.  This pump will energize independent 

of the type of demand (CH or DHW).

• Connect this pump to the CH/System Pump electrical 

terminal block.  See page

 

56 for diagram.

• The DHW pump terminal does not function.

• This is typical of a hydronic system design which utilizes 

zone valves for all CH zones and an DHW indirect tank.

Note:

• Pump Mode selection depends on electrical and 

hydronic system design.  Please refer to sections 5

 

and 8 for recommended hydronic piping and electrical 

configurations.

• Internal heat exchanger pump is energized anytime 

demand exists regardless of Pump Mode setting or type 

of demand (CH or DHW).

'Service Reminder’ feature allows the installer to enable or 

disable a service reminder notification on the User Interface at a 

predefined interval .

Service reminder does not affect operation of boiler in any way.  

It is only a reminder to  End User that routine preventative 

maintenance is required by qualified service technician.

Allowed Range:   1 to 999 days
