Wire all boilers following the guidelines in this section.
DO NOT install a header sensor on any of the boilers.
Disconnect the wires to the boilers’ Remote Enable terminals (and any override
wiring to Heat Demand or DHW Demand terminals) to ensure there will be no
call for heat while proceeding.
Set the boilers’ control parameters using their display/keypads.
Follow the instructions in the Boiler manual to start up each boiler before proceed-
ing further.
Finish by reconnecting call for heat wiring, then operating the complete system to
verify operation in all modes.
