The Variable Speed - Setpoint “00” Cartridge Circulator (00-VS) is a microprocessor-based pump designed to regulate the tempera-
ture to a system through variable speed injection mixing. The 00-VS regulates the temperature to provide a fixed setpoint or a fixed 
temperature difference (

T) for heating or cooling applications. For fixed setpoint operation, a boiler return sensor can be connected 

to protect the boiler against flue gas condensation.
In order to properly accomplish this mixing method, the following piping details should be considered.

Applications

The following are typical applications the 00-VS supports. The 00-VS includes a five DIP package with DIP siwtches 1, 3 and 5 used 
to configure the control for a given application. These DIP switch configurations are indicated to the right of the application drawing.
DIP switch 2 is used to select the appropriate temperature range for the desired setpoint target. DIP switch 4 is used to select the 
controls variable speed output response. It is recommended that a normal response (DIP 4 = Off) is used. This will aid in reducing 
potential thermal expansion issues in a system. If it is desired for the control to achieve the setpoint or 

T target quicker, a more 

aggressive variable speed output response can be selected by setting DIP switch 4 to On.

The 00-VS adjusts the variable speed output to the fancoil pump P1 to maintain a setpoint discharge air temperature at the duct 
sensor whenever a heat demand is present. While the control is operating to maintain the setpoint temperature, the variable speed 
output is adjusted to ensure the boiler inlet temperature is above the boiler inlet minimum setpoint.

The 00-VS adjusts the variable speed output to the P1 pump to maintain a setpoint temperature at the supply sensor whenever 
a heat demand is present. While the control is operating to maintain the setpoint temperature, the variable speed output is also 
adjusted to ensure the boiler inlet temperature is above the boiler inlet minimum setpoint.

The 00-VS adjusts the variable speed output to the P1 pump to maintain at least a setpoint temperature at the boiler sensor (S3) 
whenever a heat demand is present. The control adjusts the variable speed output towards zero speed as long as the temperature 
is above the setpoint. 

The 00-VS adjusts the variable speed output to the P1 pump to maintain at least a setpoint temperature at the boiler sensor 
(S3) whenever a heat demand is present. The control adjusts the variable speed output towards full speed as long as the 
temperature is above the setpoint. Note: This application illustrates variable flow conditions through the boiler. This con-
trol  configuration  should  only  be  used  with  a  heat  source  which  is  not  flow  sensitive,  such  as  a  high  mass  cast  iron  boiler.
