The operating temperature of the boiler must be maintained 

as follows:

• 

120°F (49°C) or higher inlet water temperature to the boiler.

• 

20°F (11°C) differential between the boiler’s inlet and 

outlet (e.g. 120°F [49°C] inlet, 140°F [60°C] outlet 

minimum design temperatures).

If the inlet water temperature into the boiler is less than 

120°F (49°C), adjustments on the water bypass are needed. 

Please contact your A.o. Smith qualified service agent.

CONTROL SYSTEM

The EMC modulation control system is a fully integrated, state 

of the art electronic control system. It consists of sensors, output 

devices, a power switch, a 24vAC transformer, wiring, and the 

following printed circuit boards:

•  Modulation Control Board (MCB)
•  Power Distribution Board (PDB)
•  User Interface Module (UIM)
The  MCB  contains  circuitry  for  both  master  control  and  flame 

control. Dip switches on the MCB are used to configure the 

system. The User Interface Module (UIM) communicates with the 

user through a set of touch pads and a 4-line, 20-character lCD 

display. The PDB provides connection points for input power, the 

water pump, and the transformer. It also distributes power to the 

system and contains the system fuses.
The MCB also contains an external communications system to allow 

for connection to a PC, a modem, an EMS system, or something 

similar. Through this connection, multiple boilers can also be 

linked together. 

CAUTION: The internal communications cables 

should never be connected to the external communications 

connectors, and vice-versa.

There are several microcontrollers used on the boards. These 

control the temperature and ignition control functions for 

the boiler. Inherent in the design are the normal operating 

WATER TEMPERATURE REGULATION

HoT WATER CAN SCAlD: Boilers are intended to produce hot 

water. Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy space 

heating, clothes washing, dish washing and other sanitizing needs 

can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Some people 

are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. 

These include the elderly, children, the infirm or physically/mentally 

disabled. If anyone using hot water in your home fits into one of theses 

groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring a specific 

temperature water at the hot water tap, then you must take special 

precautions. In addition to using the lowest possible temperature 

setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing 

valve should be used at the hot water taps used by these people or 

at the hot water supply tank. Mixing valves are available at plumbing 

supply or hardware stores. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions 

for installation of the valves. Before changing the thermostat setting 

on the hot water system controller, see Table 1.

Hot  water  temperatures  required  for  automatic  dishwasher 

and laundry use can cause scald burns resulting in serious 

personal injury and/or death. The temperature at which injury 

occurs varies with the person’s age and time of exposure. The 

slower response time of children, aged or disabled persons 

increases the hazards to them. Never allow small children to 

use a hot water tap, or to draw their own bath water. Never leave 

a child or disabled person unattended in a bathtub or shower.
