NOTE:  Settings can be checked using the 

TEST/SETTINGS Button. See page 7 for details.

Setting the High Limit 

The high limit is factory set at 190°F. To adjust, turn the HI

TEMP Dial 

until the desired setting is displayed. (Setting

range: 100°-220°F)

Setting the Low Limit 

The low limit is designed to maintain temperature in boilers

equipped with tankless coils used for domestic hot water. The

low limit is factory set to OFF. Prior to adjusting, remove the

jumper (not equipped on all units) 

. Then turn the LO TEMP

Dial 

clockwise until the desired temperature is displayed.

For proper operation, the low temperature limit setting should

be at least 10° below the high limit setting. 

NOTE:  For cold

start operation, the low limit must be turned OFF. 

IMPOR-

TANT: If low limit temperature cannot be set above 140°F, re-

move jumper 

. (Setting range: OFF or 110°-220°F).

Setting the Economy Feature

The Economy Feature is factory set for a 1 zone heating sys-

tem. To adjust, turn the ECONOMY Dial 

until the number

displayed equals the number of heating zones. 

Do not include

indirect water heaters in the number of heating zones. 

The

Economy Feature conserves fuel by reducing boiler tempera-

ture (see “How Thermal Targeting Works” on page 6). If the

heating system is unable to supply needed heat to the house,

the ECONOMY Dial should be turned to a lower setting (ex-

ample: In a three zone house, turn the dial to 2 or 1). Con-

versely, if the boiler provides adequate heat, added fuel

savings can be achieved by selecting a higher setting (exam-

ple: 4 or 5).  If the heating and indirect water heater signals

were not separated when wiring the control, the Economy

Feature should be turned OFF to ensure the boiler supplies

adequate temperature to heat the indirect tank.

WARNING

Allow the boiler to fully cool before adding water.  

8.A.4.e  ACTIVE  (ECONOMY)

Indicates that the Thermal Targeting function is active 

and the control will reduce boiler temperature to 

conserve fuel. The Economy feature is activated using 

the ECONOMY dial. 

8.A.4.f  TARGET  

When the Economy feature is active, the control 

continually sets target temperatures below the high 

limit setting to maximize fuel efficiency. When the 

boiler water reaches the target temperature, the LED 

illuminates and the burner will shut down. The boiler 

water will continue to circulate and heat the house as 

long as the thermostat call continues. The LED will 

8.A.5  Digital LEDs

The Digital Display will present the numeric value 

of all temperatures and setpoints and advanced 

programming settings. 

8.A.6  Ignition LEDs

8.A.6.a  LIMITS 

Illuminates on a call for heat to indicate the external 

limits are satisfied. External limits may include 

flame rollout, spill switch, field interlock terminals 

(secondary low water cutoff etc). If the external limits 

are open the LED will blink. 

8.A.6.b  V-PWR

Indicates power has been sent to the vent damper. 

The damper will open causing it’s end switch to close. 

8.A.6.c   V-SW 

Illuminates when the vent damper end switch and 

PV1 and PV4 terminals (such as power venter and/

or air makeup air pressure switch) have closed 

indicating the flue is clear. If the damper end switch or 

the air pressure switch fail to close in 30 seconds the 

LED will blink. 

SYSTEM START-UP

Carbon monoxide hazard.  The vent damper must be fully open and the flue must be clear

before the main burner fires.  If the burner fires when the vent damper is not fully open or the

flue is blocked, dangerous flue products such as carbon monoxide will escape into the house

causing severe personal injury or death.  The vent damper and flue must be checked for

proper operation before allowing the system to operate.

Electrical shock hazard.  The ignition circuit of the control can produce over 10,000 volts 

which can cause severe injury or death.

Decimal lights on a call for heat.

LEDs light in sequence.

The Ignition LED’s 

light in sequence

stay lit until the boiler temperature drops below the 

differential set point at which point the boiler will be 

allowed to fire again. See 8.C.5 on page 34 for how 

to set the differential.  

NOTE:  This LED illuminates regularly during 

normal boiler operation.
