Heating Curve
To calculate the correct setting for the
design supply temperature –WWSD temperature
Heating Curve, use the following formula:
WWSD temperature – design outdoor temperature
For example: • design outdoor temperature = 5
°
F (-15
°
C)
• WWSD temperature = 70
°
F (21
°
C)
Heating Curve =
=
= 1.4
• design supply temperature = 160
°
F (71
°
C)
If the system design supply water temperature is unknown, a trial setting can be calculated using these typical supply temperatures:
• Fan coils or convectors …180 to 210
°
F (82 to 99
°
C) • Hydronic radiant floors …100 to 130
°
F (38
°
to 54
°
C).
Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD)
The WWSD can be adjusted from 35 to 105
°
F (2 to 41
°
C) and its function is covered under the Outdoor Reset Strategy section on page 2.
If the DIP switch is selected for one boiler operation, the pump output will cycle on for 20 seconds every three days during WWSD
.
Minimum Boiler Operating Temperature
This adjustment should be set according to the requirements specified by the boiler
manufacturer. Many boilers require a minimum operating temperature to prevent
corrosion from flue gas condensation. The control raises the supply temperature to the
Minimum when the outdoor temperature drops below the WWSD setting, and holds it
there until the outdoor temperature becomes cold enough to require operation on the
heating curve.
Typical Minimum Boiler Operating Temperatures: • Steel Tube Boilers …140
°
to 180
°
F (60
°
to 82
°
C) • Cast Iron Boilers …130 to 150
°
F (54 to 66
°
C) • Copper Tube Boilers …105 to 150
°
F
(41 to 66
°
C) • Condensing or Electric Boilers …off

Differential and Time Delay
The differential adjustment sets how far the actual supply water temperature may deviate
from the desired temperature before a boiler is turned on or off, and is determined by the
flow rate through the system pump relative to the amount of heat produced. When using
two boilers, boiler # 2 will be staged on when the actual supply temperature drops below
the control's calculated target supply minus the differential setting. Note: Boiler # 2 delay
time must have expired before boiler # 2 is fired. To prevent short boiler cycles, the
control has a minimum time delay of 30 seconds between firing cycles for the first boiler.
When two boiler operation is selected, the minimum delay between stages is adjustable
from 30 seconds to 4 minutes.
In the following example, boiler # 1 will turn on when the actual temperature falls 5
°
F
(3
°
C) below the desired temperature and will turn off when the actual temperature rises
5
°
F (3
°
C) above the desired temperature
