The next step of the Setup Wizard is to define how the boiler is enabled. This will prompt the user to “Check 
All That Apply”. Most installations may include a dry contact “Remote Enable” signal to the boiler. Other 
installations may also use an “Outdoor Air Sensor”. Select the methods by which the boiler will be enabled or 
disabled for operation. Press the “Next” button to continue. 

Once the control strategy has been defined, the Setup Wizard steps through the temperature setpoints, 
differentials, outdoor air reset curve (if applicable), etc. You can change these values in one of three ways: 

1.  Use the slider bar for quick, large temperature adjustments. 
2.  Use the UP or DOWN arrows for fine-tuning the temperature. 
3.  Touch the numeric value directly which will load a 10-digit keypad for precise control settings. 

3.11.5.1 

Comfort Heat Operation 

Once the desired temperature adjustments are complete, touch the 

“Home”

 button to return to the Home 

Screen. The Home Screen will now show the temperature setpoint, and will announce the operating condition 

“Standby”

“Prepurge”

“Ignition”

 at the top of the screen. Ensure that all external control equipment 

(Remote Enable, Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor, etc.) selected during the Setup Wizard is installed and 
properly wired to the boiler. The boiler is now programmed for Comfort Heat operation. For applications 
including Domestic Hot Water (DHW), Cascade, etc., please refer to the NURO Boiler Controller: Advanced 
User’s Guide, Part Number is 1004905979.

 

3.12 Fuel/Air Adjustments 

The P-K MACH® 

C750-C900-C1050

 boilers are equipped 

with a gas/air ratio control valve and a gas safety shut off 
control valve, combined into one valve assembly. The 
valve functions in series with the variable speed 
combustion blower to supply the correct gas/air mixture 
for optimum firing performance and efficiency. The 
combustion blower speed is controlled automatically by 
the boiler controller. The blower speed determines the 
amount of air flow and the amount of suction/negative 
pressure at the gas valves. The gas valve adjusts gas 
flow to maintain the proper delivery pressure at the outlet 
of the valve.

 

3.12.1 Gas Pressure Adjustment 

See rating plate for the minimum and maximum gas 
pressure of the boiler. The supply pressure during main 
burner operation must be greater than the

 

minimum 

indicated on the rating plate. Nominal gas supply 
pressure is 7” w.c. for natural gas. The gas pressure must 
not exceed 14” w.c. which is the maximum allowable 
pressure on the gas train components. Each boiler is 
furnished with a manual shut-off valve which has an 
integrated test port. This port is located on the upstream 
side of the valve body for measuring supply pressure.

 

 

The air flow is pre-set at the factory prior to shipment. Gas flow is dependent primarily on fan speed not 
upstream gas pressure. The automatic gas valve may have to be adjusted to obtain proper combustion 
readings for specific local conditions. A combustion analyzer must be used. Combustion must be set in 
accordance with Recommended Combustion Settings for P-K MACH® Boilers Table below.
