The PC705-2 is a microprocessor-based PID control designed to regulate the supply water tempera-
ture to a heating system by controlling a boiler and the speed of an injection pump. The PC705-2 
controls the system supply water temperature based on the outdoor air temperature (outdoor reset). A 
boiler sensor can be connected in order to prevent corrosion in the boiler due to flue gas condensa-
tion. If the PC705-2 is controlling the boiler supply water temperature, the control continuously adjusts 
the boiler differential in order to optimize the firing cycles of the boiler, prevent large water temperature 
swings, and increase the efficiency of the system. A wiring harness is provided to be easily connected 
to the Taco Expandable (-EXP) Controls. 

The PC705-2 also includes features such as an automatic reset ratio calculation, Warm Weather Shut 
Down (WWSD), and a maximum supply water temperature setting.

OUTDOOR RESET

 

In order to properly control a hot water heating system, the heat supplied to 
the building must equal the heat lost by the building. 

•  The heat supplied to a building is proportional to the temperature of the

water and the surface area of the heating element. A small surface area
such as baseboard radiators requires a higher water temperature than a
larger surface area such as radiant floors.

•  The heat lost from a building is dependent on the outdoor temperature. As 

the outdoor temperature drops, the building heat loss increases.
