Boiler Outdoor Reset

There is a water temperature and therefore a characterized 
heating curve for each communication bus. When using 
boiler temperature water to heat zones, the installer will 
be required to set a boiler characterized heating curve. 
This requires the tN4 DIP switch to be set to Boiler and 
the Boiler Sensor DIP switch set to Supply.

Boiler Terminal Unit Defaults

When a terminal unit is selected for boiler zones, the 
control loads default values for the boiler design, boiler 
maximum supply, and boiler minimum supply temperatures. 
The factory defaults can be changed to better match the 
installed system. Locate the Boiler Terminal Unit setting 
in the Adjust menu.

Mix 1 and Mix 2 Outdoor Reset

Each tN4 communication bus operates on a separate water 
temperature. Therefore a separate characterized heating 
curve is required for Mix 1 and, if the tN4 DIP switch is 
selected to Mix 2, for mix 2 as well.

Mix 1 and 2 Terminal Unit Defaults

When a terminal unit is selected for Mix 1 (or Mix 2), 
the control loads default values for the mix design, mix 
maximum supply, and mix minimum supply temperatures. 
The factory defaults can be changed to better match the 
installed system.

Boiler Indoor Design

The boiler indoor design temperature is the indoor temperature 
the heating designer chose while calculating the heat loss for 
the boiler water heated zones. This temperature is typically 
70°F (21.0°C). This setting establishes the beginning of 
the boiler characterized heating curve.

Boiler Design Temperature

The boiler design supply temperature is the boiler water 
temperature required to heat the zones on the typical 
coldest day of the year.

Mix 1 and Mix 2 Indoor Design

The Mix 1 (or Mix 2) indoor design temperature is the indoor 
temperature the heating designer picked while calculating 
the heat loss for the building for the Mix 1 (or Mix 2) water 
heated zones. This temperature is typically 70°F (21.0°C). 
This setting establishes the beginning of the Mix 1 (or Mix 2) 
characterized heating curve.
