Explanation

IA RESET

INDOOR AIR

Activate indoor air reset by setting this to “ON.” Zone wiring must be made to the IAR input 
terminals for IAR to operate. See the Boiler manual for details on wiring to the IAR terminals.

AVG TIME

INDOOR AIR

The averaging time (AVG TIME) is the time span over which the control averages the results of 
zone demands. Leave this setting at the factory default unless directly otherwise by HydroTherm 
Technical Support.

SET IAR SETPTS

INDOOR AIR

Leave the delta temp settings at factory default settings unless directed otherwise by 
HydroTherm Technical Support. The determine how much the control adjusts maximum 
allowable fi ring rate based on its monitoring of zone demand.

OA SHUTDOWN

OUTDOOR AIR

When outdoor air shutdown is enabled (ON), the boiler and its circulating pump shut down 
when the outside temperature is above the outdoor air setpoint (OA SETPT). This requires an 
outdoor sensor when enabled.

OA SETPT

OUTDOOR AIR

The boiler and its circulator shut down when the outside air temperature is above this setting if 
outdoor air shutdown is enabled (ON). This requires an outdoor sensor when enabled.

OA RESET

OUTDOOR AIR

Set to “ON” to enable resetting the boiler outlet temperature (or header temperature) based on 
outside air temperature. Set to “OFF” to disable outdoor reset. This requires an outdoor sensor 
when enabled.

LOW WATER
@ HI OA

HI WATER
@ LOW OA

OUTDOOR AIR

SET OA SETPTS

These temperatures determine the reset curve for 
supply water temperature. High water at low 
outside air means the design water temperature 
for maximum load (at ODT, or outside design 
temperature for the installation). The other end of 
the reset curve is the low water temperature at high 
outside air temperature. The low water temperature 
is generally equal to room temperature, meaning 
no heat input to the space would occur below this 
outside air temperature.

DELTA ENABLE

PUMP OPTIONS

The boiler pump can be set to run after boiler shutdown to distribute residual heat to the 
heating system. Delta enable causes the boiler pump to run until the temperature diff erence 
between boiler inlet and outlet is less than DELTA TEMP (see below). The pump will continue to 
run an additional period after this for the amount of time specifi ed in PURGE TIME (below).

DELTA TEMP

PUMP OPTIONS

When DELTA ENABLE (above) is set to “ON,” the boiler pump will run until the temperature diff erence 
across the boiler is less than DELTA TEMP. (The pump will run an additional time equal to the 
PURGE TIME.) An inlet temperature sensor is required.

PURGE TIME

PUMP OPTIONS

The boiler pump can run after boiler shutdown to distribute heat remaining in the boiler water. 
PURGE TIME sets how long the boiler pump will run. (Also see DELTA TEMP, above.) NOTICE: For 
systems that shut off  fl ow valves (such as zone valve systems) when the call for heat is satisfi ed, 
this option must be set to “0” to prevent dead-heading the pump.

ALWAYS ON

PUMP OPTIONS

If ALWAYS ON is set to “YES,” the boiler circulator never turns off .

MASTER PUMP

PUMP OPTIONS

If set to “ON,” the master control in the network will keep its pump contacts closed (running 
its pump and/or control valve) if no other boilers are operating. This is used to prevent dead-
heading system fl ow.

SETBACK#

NIGHT SETBACK

Setback number is the designator for the setback operation. Up to four (4) setback operations 
can be programmed.
