POWER UP SEQUENCES

•  Whenever the SC is powered up, it displays the software version number and then the 

operating parameters.  Each display will remain on the screen approximately 5 seconds.  If 

the parameters are correct, there is no need to make any adjustments.

•  Once the parameters have been set for a particular application, they will be retained in memory and will not need to be reset.

•  Note that if you do change any parameter, or make any changes to the dip switch positions, all 

settings will revert to their default values and must be reset. 

•  A parameter can only be changed in the start-up Sequence.  To restart, it is necessary to remove and 

reapply power.

•  Set the parameters to fi nd the appropriate Sequence for your application, Set Point Control - 

Temperature and External Set Point (pgs. 10 and 11) or Outdoor Reset (pgs. 12 and 13) 

Set Point Control - Temperature and External Set Point

Temperature Display Mode 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Default: Fahrenheit

•  The SC can be fi eld adjusted to read temperature sensors and display the Set Point either in °F or °C.

•  The sensor input range is from -35 to 250°F or from -30° to 120°C.  

•  If the display shows 

°F

 the SC will operate in Fahrenheit. If the display shows 

°F

°F

°C

 then the SC will operate in Celsius.

•  To change the temperature display mode, hold down the center button while pushing either the 

UP

 button to increase the value,

or the 

DOWN

 button to decrease the value.

•  When the correct display mode is shown, release the button and wait approximately 5 seconds.  If any changes were made, the 

display will fl ash. 

Set Input Terminals 9 and 10 to PROVE or DHW   

 

 

 

Default: Prove 

Pr

•  If the system is designed to provide heat and DHW, the SC can be programmed to hold a 200°F Setpoint when a call for DHW is 

connected to Input terminals 

9

 and 

10

 (see pg. 25).

•  All other applications should use the default Prove setting (see pg. 24).

•  If the display shows 

Pr

 the Input terminals 

9

 and 

10

 will function in the Prove mode.  If the display shows 

dh

 then the same 

terminals will function in the DHW mode.

•  To change the Input terminal functions, hold down the center button while pushing either the 

UP

 button to increase the value, or

the 

DOWN

 button to decrease the value.

•  When the correct value is shown, release the button and wait approximately 5 seconds.  If any changes were made, the display 

will fl ash.

Set the Sequencing Mode  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Default: Normal

•  For most applications, the 

Normal

 or PID type Sequencing mode provides the most stable operation. Stages are turned on or off 

Normal

Normal

based on the rate of change of the system temperature and the impact a stage has on that rate.

•  For applications where the stages are oversized for most load conditions, the SC has an Oversize System (

OSS

) Sequencing 

mode that brings on stages proportionally, based on how high above or far below the Set Point the current system temperature is. 

For more details, see pg. 21.

•  If the display shows 

nor

 (Normal) then the SC will Sequence in the PID type mode.  If the display shows 

OSS

 then SC will 

Sequence stages based on a Throttling Range

 around the Set Point

•  To change the Sequence function, hold down the center button while pushing either the 

UP

 button to increase the value, or the

DOWN

 button to decrease the value.

•  When the correct value is shown, release the button and wait approximately 5 seconds. If any changes were made, the display
