standby delay

Adjustable from 1min to 60min 

Default: 10min

Button: 

MENU/<System Settings>/<More Settings>/Standby Time

•   The Standby Delay only applies to boilers in Standby Mode.  See "Mode" on page 29.

•   A boiler can be set to be a Standby boiler using the Stage Menu.

•   A Standby boiler can only be activated after all the boilers in Auto Mode have run at 100% 

modulation for the full Standby Time.  A Standby boiler can never be a Lead Stage

•   The full Standby Delay must always elapse regardless of what happens to the system 

temperature.  Therefore, shorter Standby Times will result in smoother set point operation in 

extreme conditions.  On the other hand, longer Standby Times may prevent a Standby boiler 

from firing if the other boilers can eventually meet the load, or if the load decreases.

Default: 0min

Button: 

MENU/<System Settings>/<More Settings>/Run-On

•   The SYS relay will energize whenever the outdoor temperature is below the Outdoor Cutoff 

and the Shutdown is Open or the Tstat is closed.  When the Outdoor temperature rises 2°F 

above the Outdoor Cutoff or the control is switched to Summer and after the last burner 

relay has de-energized, the SYS relay will remain energized for the Run-On period.

•   A common use for the Run-On is to control a system pump in a heating system.  The extra 

time helps transfer the boiler residual heat to the heating system.

•   The Run-On time should be set based on the size and type of the boilers and pumps used.  

In general, when setting the Run-On consult boiler and pump manufacturer.

Button: 

MENU/<System Settings>/<More Settings>/Setback

•   The Setback feature can be used to provide the Mini-MOD with a lower temperature Set 

Point when less load is required.

•   The lower Set Point will appear on the main display indicating this condition.

•   For example, if the calculated temperature is 180°F and the Setback is 20°F, then when in 

Setback, the Mini-MOD will hold a Set Point of 160°F = 180°F- 20°F.

•   A typical use for Setback is to provide less system temperature to a building during the 

night or on the weekends when building is not occupied, but heat is still required.

•   The amount of Setback selected is subtracted from the Set Point when a Setback Input 

Signal is received or the Night Time schedule setting started.

•   If Setback is selected as the Shutdown/Tstat/Setback Mode (See "Shutdown/Tstat/Setback 

Mode" on page 18.), the Setback will not be activated unless a Short dry-contact signal is 

received on terminals (

31 and 32

).

•   If Shutdown or Tstat is selected as the Shutdown/Tstat/Setback Mode, the Setback will be 

activated only when the Night Schedule time has started.

When using Soft-Off and Last 

Stage Hold, the last boiler 

stage will not turn off until both 

parameters have elapsed.  In 

this case, Soft-Off will start after 

the Last Stage Hold.

MENU/<System Settings>/<More Settings>/Last Stg Hold

•   The Last Stage Hold prevents short cycling of the Lead Stage during low demand periods.

•   In these conditions, the system might require less output than the lowest fire of one Stage. 

When the Mini-MOD brings on the Lead Stage, the Set Point is quickly exceeded, and the 

Mini-MOD turns the Lead Stage off.

•   To prolong the run time during this type of condition, use the Last Stage Hold setting to let 

the system temperature exceed the Set Point by the number of degrees selected.

•   For example, with a Set Point of 160°F and a Last Stage Hold setting of 10°F, the Lead 

Stage boiler will remain on, at low modulation, until the Set Point reaches 170°F.

•   In many cases, it is better to overshoot slightly than to short cycle a boiler.

•   When Soft-Off is set to other than 0 seconds, the Lead Boiler will need to remain at or 

exceed the Last Stage Hold for the Soft-Off period before turning off.
