SHUTDOWN

•  This feature allows the user to shutdown all Stage Outputs on the SC from a remote location.

•  A typical use of this feature would be to turn off all boiler stages when the outdoor temperature rises above a certain point.  The 

outdoor thermostat would close a dry contact and the SC would then turn all the Stage Outputs off until the outdoor temperature 

fell and heat was once again required.

•  On systems where the DHW input is used, a call for domestic hot water will override a Shutdown. During the DHW call, the 

water temperature will be maintained at 200°F. When the call for DHW is removed, the SC will then resume Shutdown. 

•  To enable the Shutdown, the Setback/Shutdown (

Stb

) control setting must be set to zero. Zero is the default value. Any 

nonzero number will enable Setback 

Stb 

(see below).

•  When the Shutdown is activated, all active Stage Outputs are immediately turned off.  However, the System Output (and the 

individual Pump Outputs on the SC-6P) will remain activated for the period of time set by the System Delay 

Sd

 (see pg.  22).

•  For wiring a remote Shutdown, see pg. 6.

SETBACK

•  This feature allows a user to temporarily reduce the Set Point or Calculated water temperature.

•  A

are sleeping. An external time clock could be programmed to close a dry contact to reduce the water temperature during these 

times. When the time clock contacts open, then the SC will resume circulating the higher temperature water.

•  To enable the Setback, the Setback/Shutdown (

Stb

) control setting must be set to the desired number of Setback degrees. If the 

default Setback/Shutdown value of 0 is not changed, the SC will shutdown all stages when Input terminals 

7

 and 

77

8

 are shorted.

•  On systems where the DHW input is used, a call for DHW will override the Setback. 

Stb

 During the DHW call, the water 

temperature will be maintained at 200°F. When the call for DHW is removed, the SC will return to the Setback 

Stb

 Set Point 

temperature. 

•  For wiring a remote Setback, see pg. 6.

PROVE

•  This feature is provided to check if system components are running properly.

•  The 

PROVE

 input terminals must be continuous for any Stage Output to be active. If the 

PROVE

PROVE

PROVE

 inputs are opened when Stage 

PROVE

PROVE

Outputs are active, then they will immediately de-energize (and the individual Pump Outputs on the SC-6P will de-energize after 

the System Delay time). 

•  The Prove function is the default value for Input terminals 

9

 and 

10

. However, the same input terminals can be programmed to 

provide a DHW input. To check or change the function of these terminals, see pgs. 6 and 8. 

•  The Set Point or Calculated water temperature will display 

PrF

 to indicate when stages are not being energized because the 

Prove signal is not made.

•  The 

PROVE

 input does not affect the status of the System Output. 

PROVE

PROVE

•  A typical use of this feature is to check for fl ow before fi ring any boiler stages. When there is a call for heat, the System Output 

activates the system pump starter. When the pump establishes fl ow, a fl ow switch shorts together the 

PROVE

 input terminals. 

PROVE

PROVE

The SC then adds Stage Outputs as required to hold the temperature set point.

•  Another typical application is to check the combustion air damper. When there is a call for output, the System Output can be 

wired to open a combustion air damper. An end switch on the damper can then be wired back to the 

PROVE

 input terminals. The 

PROVE

PROVE

SC then activates Stage Outputs as required. 

•  The 

PROVE

 input must be shorted for Stage Outputs to be activated. When not using the Prove function, the 

PROVE

PROVE

PROVE

 input must 

PROVE

PROVE

be shorted. (The SC is shipped with a jumper to short out the 

PROVE

 terminals.)

PROVE

 input, see pg. 6.

WARNING

The SC

controls as required by local codes. Any combustion air damper signal or other interlock provided for safety 

MUST be wired back to the individual boilers and any other equipment required by code, in addition to being 

wired into the SC
