Viewable and changeable control parameters

General

Time and Date 

The control uses an internal clock for the night setback 
feature and for logging of events.  For these features to 
work correctly, the clock must be set when the boiler is first 
installed or anytime the boiler has been powered off for more 
than four (4) hours.  This parameter must be accessed to set 
the clock.  

Software Version

The software version allows the user to view the software 
version in use by the control.  This software controls the 
operation of the boiler.  When a new software version 
becomes available, the existing control can be replaced with a 
new control to update the software.

Software version is read only.

Temperature units (°C / °F)

The control can be configured to display temperature in 
either °C or °F.  This parameter can be changed by the user 
or the installer by accessing the 

Temperature Units parameter

.  

The default is °F.

Space Heating (SH)  and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) 
Night Setback Offset

Once the unit’s internal clock has been set correctly, the 
Night Setback feature can be used to program a lower set 
point during unoccupied times.  Both the space heating and 
DHW can be programmed for night setback.  When in night 
setback, the control reduces the set point by a fixed amount.  
For space heating, it subtracts the space heating night setback 
offset from each of the SH user set points 

(SH1, 2, and 3 Set 

point parameters)

, or the calculated outdoor reset set point (if 

lower).  For DHW, it subtracts the DHW night setback offset 
from the tank set point 

(Tank Set point parameter)

.  

NOTE:  

The DHW night setback will not work without a tank 

sensor installed.  

The installer may adjust the space heating night setback 
offset by accessing the 

SH Night Setback Offset parameter

 and 

the DHW night setback offset by accessing the 

DHW Night 

Setback Offset parameter

.  The minimum setting is 0°F (0°C) 

and the maximum setting is 90°F (50°C).

Space Heating (SH) and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) 
Night Setback On Times

This is the time in which the SH Night Setback Offset becomes 
active.  There are 7 start times and 7 stop times each for the 
space heating and DHW night setback features.  Both may be 
set to any time within a 7-day week.  These settings are referred 
to as triggers.  Multiple start or stop triggers may be set within a 
single day, if desired.  When a start trigger and a stop trigger are 
set to the same time, the stop trigger has priority.  The installer 
may adjust the space heating night setback start triggers by 
accessing the 

SH Night Setback On Times parameter

.  The DHW 

start triggers in the 

DHW Night Setback On Times parameter

.  

This screen shows the start trigger number, the day of the week, 
and the time of day.  

1.  When the screen is first accessed, start trigger number 1 
 

is shown.  If a different trigger number is desired, the 

 

installer can rotate the NAVIGATION dial until the 

 

desired trigger number is displayed.  Once the desired trigger 

 

number is selected, the installer can press the NAVIGATION 

 

dial and the day of the week will start to flash.  

2.  The installer can adjust the day of the week to the one he 
 

wishes to set.  Once the day is set, the installer can press the 

 

NAVIGATION dial and the hour will begin to flash.  

3.  After setting the hour, the installer can press the 
 

NAVIGATION dial and the minutes will flash. Once all 

 

settings have been made, the installer can press the RIGHT 

 

SELECT [SAVE] key.  The installer can now select a 

 

different trigger and adjust the settings for that trigger.

4.  Once all adjustments are made, the installer can press the 
 

RIGHT SELECT [SAVE] key to save all of the new settings 

 

and return to the 

General

 menu, or press the LEFT SELECT 

 

[EXIT] key to return to the 

General

 menu without saving the 

 changes. 

Space Heating (SH) and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) 
Night Setback Off Times

The corresponding space heating night setback stop triggers are 
set by accessing the 

SH Night Setback Off Times parameter

.   The 

stop triggers for the DHW night setback feature can be adjusted 
by accessing the 

DHW Night Setback Off Times parameter

.  The 

adjustment procedure for these parameters is identical to the 
space heating start triggers described above.

Night Setback Override

Any Night Setback On trigger currently active or scheduled 
within the next seven (7) days can be skipped.  To skip a trigger, 
press the MENU key for 5 seconds, enter the user password, 
and press the SAVE key.  Rotate the NAVIGATION dial to NSB 
OVERRIDE, and press the NAVIGATION dial.  A list of the 
current (if active) and upcoming NSB On triggers will appear.  

 

CAUTION

Before changing parameters, note the 
settings so that the unit can be returned to 
its original operating parameters.

 NOTICE

The internal clock does not adjust for 
Daylight Savings Time and therefore, 
will require a manual adjustment.

Please note that the brackets ([]) denote 
screen status.
