NOTE:

Settings can be checked

using the TEST/SETTINGS Button.

SETTING THE HIGH LIMIT

The high limit is factory set at
88°C (190°F). To adjust, turn the
HI TEMP Dial 

 

until the desired

setting is displayed. (Setting
range: 38°C–104°C [100°–220°F])

SETTING THE LOW LIMIT

The low limit is designed to main-
tain temperature in boilers equipped with tankless
coils used for domestic hot water. The low limit is
factory set to OFF. Prior to adjusting, remove the
jumper (not equipped on all units)  

 

. Then turn the

LO TEMP Dial   

clockwise until the desired tem-

perature is displayed. For proper operation, the low
temperature limit setting should be at least 6°C (10°)
below the high limit setting. NOTE: For cold start
operation, the low limit must be turned OFF. IMPOR-
TANT: If low limit temperature cannot be set above
60°C (140°F), remove jumper  

 (Setting range:

OFF or 43°C–93°C [110°-200°F]).

SETTING THE ECONOMY FEATURE

The Economy Feature is factory set for a 1 zone heating system. To
adjust, turn the ECONOMY Dial  

  

until the number displayed

equals the number of heating zones. Do not include indirect water
heaters in the number of heating zones. The Economy Feature
conserves fuel by reducing boiler temperature (see “How Thermal
Targeting Works” below). If the heating system is unable to supply
needed heat to the house, the ECONOMY Dial should be turned to
a lower setting (example: In a three zone house, turn the dial to 2 or
1). Conversely, if the boiler provides adequate heat, added fuel sav-
ings can be achieved by selecting a higher setting (example: 4 or
5). If the heating and indirect water heater signals were not separat-
ed when wiring the control, the Economy Feature should be turned
OFF to insure the boiler supplies adequate temperature to heat the
indirect tank.

ACTIVATING THERMAL PRE-PURGE (OPTIONAL)
NOTE:

Activation of this feature is not recommended for boilers with

tankless coils.
Fuel Smart HydroStat has a Thermal Pre-Purge feature to maximize
efficiency. When activated, the control will purge higher boiler tem-
peratures down to 57°C (135°F) at the start of any thermostat call
and supply the latent energy in the boiler to the heating zone that is
calling. During the purge cycle, the display will indicate Pur. If the 

heat  is not sufficient to satisfy the thermostat, the control will ener-
gize the burner. This feature works with single- and multi-zone heat-
ing systems utilizing circulators or zone valves. No change in wiring
is needed.

To Activate Thermal Pre-Purge

Push and hold the TEST/SETTINGS button for 20 seconds. The dis-
play will read Pur On. To deactivate the feature, push and hold the but-
ton a second time for 20 seconds. The display will read Pur OFF.

SETTING THE CONTROL

At initial start up, with the Economy Feature active, the control
establishes a 63°C (145°F) target temperature. To test the high
limit shut-off function, the Economy Dial must be turned to OFF.
Once tested, restore the Economy setting. If the heating demand
is high, the target will increase over time to satisfy the heat load.
NOTE: To reduce the potential for condensing, the control will
allow the boiler to heat to 49°C (120°F) prior to  energizing the
 circulator.

Thermal Targeting technology analyzes thermostat activity 
and continually evaluate how much heat the house requires.
When it is very cold outside, the heat demand is high and 
the Fuel Smart HydroStat will raise the boiler's Target tempera-
ture to provide needed heat to the home. When the outside tem-
perature is milder, the heat demand is lower. During these
periods, the Fuel Smart HydroStat will lower the boiler's Target
temperature – saving fuel – while continuing to provide comfort
to the house.

Provides lowest level of fuel savings. Use this setting only
if the house does not stay warm at higher settings.
