Setting The Boiler Temperature
Without the Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor
Installed
To set the maximum boiler water temperature, simply
turn the Max. Temp. water temperature dial to the
desired setting. The control and the boiler will then
perform to achieve and maintain the set temperature.
The Min. Temp. Knob is the boiler water temperature
minimum, or the lowest temperature the water will go
before the unit re-starts. Turning the knob fully counter-
clockwise is the “OFF” position, while turning the knob
clockwise, past the 140 degree marking, is the “ON”
position..
With The Outdoor Air Temp - Sensor Installed
Maximum boiler temp setting is as described above.
The MIN. TEMP. knob in addition to being the mode
setting (on or off) now also has the function of setting
the minimum boiler water temperature. This would be
the lowest boiler water temperature that you want to
have based on the following factors.
1.) Outdoor Air Temperature (OAT)
2.) Domestic Hot Water Use
a.) Hot Water Coil Option
b.) Indirect Hot Water Storage
3.) Overall Volume of the Heating System
The boiler is designed to withstand lower return water
temperatures however, extended return temperatures below
140 degrees F can cause condensation in the secondary ash
chamber area and also in the venting system, which could
cause damage in these areas.
NOTE:
If the system is run at the lower temperature settings,
conditions of the firebox, boiler tubes, secondary ash chamber
and venting should be monitored closely. If conditions show
excess condensation, the boiler water minimum temperature
will need to be increased until condensation does not occur.
You should also consider some form of tempering of the return
water system. Discuss this with your plumber.
Operation
Control Board Operation
Aquastat Sensor
- This sensor is located in the aquastat
well on the top of the water jacket. This sensor along
with the outdoor air sensor is what the control board uses
to regulate the feed rate based on these two observed
conditions. (Boiler Temp. & Outdoor Air Temperature)
Outdoor Air Temp. Sensor (OAT)
- This sensor is
located outside the building (on the north side of the
house and out of direct sunlight). The Outdoor Air
Sensor is used to perform hot water reset based on
outdoor air temperatures.
When the OAT sensor is installed, at 20° F. or below
(outside temperature), the boiler will operate at the
temperature set on the MAX. TEMP. knob. The boiler
water temperature will decrease by 1 degree F. for
every 1 degree F. in temperature rise (above 20°) of the
outdoor air.
