EXTERNAL CONTROLS
The Lochinvar EcoKnight™ is compatible with the following control and safety systems:
Building Management System (BMS) 0-10VDC analogue input
Room thermostat (on/off type)
Storage vessel thermostat (on/off type)
Storage vessel sensor (modulating type)
Internal sequencing control
Gas pressure switch (e.g. gas booster under pressure/over pressure safety switch)
Water flow proving device (e.g. differential pressure switch or flow switch)
Auxiliary safety system proving switch (e.g. fan dilution system proving switch)
In addition to this, the Lochinvar EcoKnight™ can give the following signals:
Volt-free “burner on” (runtime) signal
Volt-free “lock-out” (alarm) signal
24VAC auxiliary device enable signal (e.g. to start fan dilution system)
11.1.1
REMOTE ENABLING
If the appliance is to be enabled remotely, either by a building management control panel or time clock, a volt free
contact should be used to interrupt the wiring between the room thermostat (if used) and the boiler.
11.1.2
BMS CONTROL
When controlling the EcoKnight™ boiler using the 0-10V analogue interface, the boiler should be enabled using the
room thermostat connections (see
Section 11.3: LOW VOLTAGE CONNECTION STRIP
) and then controlled via the
external control connections. The voltage input can be used to control the setpoint of the boiler of the firing rate. If
firing rate control is required, the software interface must be used to modify the control parameters. Refer to the
separate EcoKnight PC interface Guide for further information.
