CONNECTING THE CONTROL

Make sure all power to the devices and terminal blocks is off, and remove any remaining 
jumpers from the terminals.

Reconnect the terminal blocks to the control by carefully aligning them with their respective 
headers on the control, and then pushing the terminal blocks into the headers. The terminal 
blocks should snap firmly into place.

Install the supplied safety dividers between the unpowered sensor inputs and the powered 
or 115 V (ac) wiring chambers.

Apply power to the control. The operation of the control on power up is described in the 
Sequence of Operation section of the brochure.

TEST THE MODULATING OUTPUT

If a modulating device is used, connect an ammeter to the modulating 
output 

Mod V (dc)

 terminals (11 and 12) and observe the current reading 

during operation. For example, when using a 0 to 10 V (dc) output, the 
initial percentage output is zero and the meter should read 0 V (dc). As 
the Boiler Modulation in the VIEW menu increases, the meter reading 
should increase until the Boiler Modulation reaches 100% at which point 
the meter should read 10 V (dc). When the 0 to 10 V (dc) modulation 
decreases, the meter should start at 10 V (dc) and eventually reach 
0 V (dc) when the display shows 0% Boiler Modulation.

Cleaning the Control

The control’s exterior can be cleaned using a damp cloth. Moisten the cloth with water and wring out prior to wiping control. Do not 
use solvents or cleaning solutions.

DIP Switch Settings

GENERAL

The DIP switch settings on the control are very important and should be set 
to the appropriate settings prior to making any adjustments to the control 
through the User Interface. The DIP switch settings change the items that 
are available to be viewed and / or adjusted in the User Interface.

If a DIP switch is changed while the control is powered up, the control responds 
to the change in setting by returning the display to the VIEW menu.

Advanced / Installer

The 

Advanced / Installer

 DIP switch selects the access level of the control. In the 

Installer

 access level, a limited number of items may be viewed and / or adjusted. In the 

Advanced

 access level, all items may be viewed and / or adjusted.

Off / Exercise

The 

Off / Exercise

 DIP switch selects whether or not the control is to exercise the primary 

pump and boiler pumps. If the DIP switch is set to 

Exercise

, the pumps are operated for 

10 seconds after every three days of inactivity.
