STEP FOUR 

TESTING THE WIRING 

No wires should be connected to the control during testing.

A good quality electrical test meter, capable of reading from at least 0 — 200 V (ac) and at least 0 — 2,000,000 Ohms, is essential to
properly test the wiring and sensors.

Test the Sensors 

Test the sensors according to the testing procedure in Data Brochure D 070. Ensure the
sensor wires are not connected to the control terminals.

Test the Power Supply 

Make sure exposed wires and bare terminals are not in contact with other wires or
grounded surfaces. Turn on the power and measure the voltage across the 24 V (ac)
power supply. The voltmeter should read between 22 and 26 Volts.

Test the Powered Inputs 



Measure the voltage between the heat demand wire and the power wire that goes to C- of the control. The voltmeter should read
between 22 and 26 volts when there is a call for heat.

Test the Outputs 

Short the boiler wires and power up the boiler circuit; the boiler should fire. Remove power from the boiler circuit.

STEP FIVE 

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE CONTROL 

The installer should confirm that no voltage is present at any of the wires.

Output Connections 

Boiler Relay

Connect the 120 V (ac) or 24 V (ac) boiler circuit directly to the 

Boiler relay (4 and 5)

terminals. These terminals go to dry relay contacts.

Powered Input Connections 

24 V (ac) Power

Connect the 24 V (ac) power supply to terminals 

Power R+— C- (7 and 8) on the control.

Heat demand

Connect the C- side of the transformer to terminal 

T (6) through a switching device. This

provides a heat demand to the control.

Caution The C- of the same transformer used to power up the control must be used

to provide the heat demand.

Sensor and Unpowered Input Connections

 

Do not apply power to these terminals as this will damage the control.

Outdoor Sensor

Connect the two wires from the Outdoor Sensor 070 to the terminals 

Com Sen — Out

Sen (1 and 3). The Outdoor Sensor measures the outdoor air temperature.

Boiler Sensor

Connect the two wires from the Boiler Sensor 071 to the terminals 

Com Sen — Boil Sen

(1 and 2). The Boiler Sensor measures the supply water temperature going from the
boiler to the system.

Settings

Before adjusting the settings, read through the sequence of operation to ensure that you understand how the control operates. The
following page describes how to program these settings into the control once it has been powered up.

STEP SIX 

ESSENTIAL CONTROL SETTINGS 

Starting Temp. 



The 

Starting Temp. setting is the starting supply water temperature of the heating curve, and can be adjusted from 35 to 150

°

F (2

to 66

°

C). In applications where fan coils are used, the 

Starting Temp. may need to be set higher to prevent cold drafts.

Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD

) 

The WWSD can be adjusted from 35 to 85

°

F (2 to 29

°

C). The boiler will be shut down when the outdoor temperature is warmer than

this setting. Factory setting is 68

°

F (20

°

C).
