Outdoor Design

The Outdoor Design temperature must be set to OFF.

Mixing Target

The Mixing Target temperature is set to the desired operating temperature of the system.

Delta T Max

The Delta T Max temperature is set to the maximum temperature difference that is desired between the mixing return temperature 
and the mixing supply temperature. In order to adjust this setting, a mixing return sensor must be connected to the control.

Boiler Operation

The RMC operates the boiler in two basic modes of operation. The RMC can either “Control” the boiler or “Enable” the boiler. The mode 
of operation is determined by the Boiler Sensor location. The boiler sensor location is determined using the DIP switch on the back of 
the circuit board. If the DIP switch is set to ON, the boiler sensor is to be located on the boiler supply. If the DIP switch is set to OFF, the 
boiler sensor is to be located on the boiler return.

 

• If the DIP switch is set to On, the RMC will “Control“ the boiler.

 

• If the DIP switch is set to Off, the RMC will “Enable” the boiler.

 

• If the Boiler Sensor has not been installed, the RMC will “Enable” the boiler.

BOILER CONTROL

When the RMC controls the boiler, the RMC opens and closes the boiler contact in order to control the temperature of the boiler supply 
water temperature. When the RMC is controlling the boiler temperature, the RMC will determine the boiler supply water temperature 
that is required to satisfy the demands of the system. The RMC will also determine a differential that is suffi cient to minimize short 
cycling of the boiler. The RMC will then cycle the boiler using these parameters.

Differential

An on / off boiler must be operated with a differential in order to prevent short cycling. When the supply water temperature drops     
1/2 of the differential below the required boiler supply temperature, the boiler is turned on. The boiler is then kept on until the supply

Unpowered Demand

The RMC recognizes an Unpowered Demand signal when a switch is closed between 
the Com and Heat Dem terminals.

SYSTEM PUMP OPERATION

The RMC has an internal system pump contact. This contact turns on when the RMC has 
a mixing demand. The system pump as well as an external boiler pump may be controlled 
by this relay. By providing proper fl ow in the boiler loop, the boiler temperature can be ac-
curately controlled based on the mixing load.
