8.D  Restore Factory Default Settings

To restore advanced settings, to factory default settings 

(see Table 8 on page 33 for all program settings).

 

1.  Turn the Advanced Programing dial to access the 

Program Mode – indicated in the display as Pro.

2. Turn the HI LIMIT dial to select feature dEF.

3.  Push the Mode button to Y to reset all features to the 

default settings.

4.  When finished, turn the Advance Programing dial 

back to OFF. , 

5.  Reset Economy to 1 for default. 

6. Reset HI LIMIT setting to 190 for default. 

 

 

8.E  View Current Settings  

The Mode button has several functions when 

programing the boiler. When used by itself, it has the 

function of scrolling through and displaying the current 

settings.   
Push the Mode button consecutively and you can stop 

on any one of the 5 current settings listed in Figure 36

8.F  DHW Functionality

During a call from an indirect water heater, the control 

will de-energize the System Pump contacts to heat 

only the indirect tank, ensuring an adequate supply of 

domestic hot water. The control will target the high limit 

setting and override Economy and Reset Ratio settings 

and WWSD settings. The control will re-energize the 

System Pump when the indirect tank is satisfied or if the 

boiler temperature reaches 170°F. This feature will allow 

the boiler to heat both demands from 151°F up to the 

high limit, until the calls are satisfied. If the indirect call 

continues for 45 minutes, the control will then override 

the priority function, energizing the System Pump to 

provide space heating.

TEMP ACTIVE

Indicates that the Fuel Smart

HydroStat control is powered and that the temperature

function is active.

TEMP HI TEMP

Illuminates when the boiler water

temperature reaches the high limit setting. It will remain lit

until the water temperature falls 10°. The Fuel Smart

HydroStat prevents burner operation while this LED is on.

See Differential explanation 

LWCO ACTIVE

Indicates that the low water cut-off

(LWCO) function of the control is active. 

The JX comes standard with an Electro-Well which works 

as both a standard well and a Low Water Cut-off probe.

IMPORTANT: If the control is installed with a well other than

the Electro-Well, this LED will not illuminate indicating that

the control is not providing low water cut-off functionality.

LWCO LOW WATER   

Indicates that the boiler is in a

low water condition. The control will prevent burner

operation during this condition. If the LOW WATER light is

blinking, the control has been programmed to provide lock-

out protection in the event a low water condition is detected

See Manual Reset Low Water Cut-Off 

IMPORTANT: The system must be checked by a qualified

heating professional prior to resuming operation. 

WARNING: ALLOW THE BOILER TO FULLY COOL 

BEFORE ADDING WATER.

ECONOMY ACTIVE

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. (See “How

Thermal Targeting Works”  

ECONOMY 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

stay lit until the boiler temperature drops below the differential

set point at which point the boiler will be allowed to fire again.

See Differential explanation

NOTE: This LED illuminates regularly during normal boiler

operation.

To Test Low Water Cut-Off: Press and hold the Test/

Settings button for 5 seconds. The display will read LCO.

Factory Setting

Example:  If the thermostat is not satisfied thirty 

minutes after the boiler reaches the reset temperature, 

the control will boost the reset temperature by 10 

degrees. It will continue to boost, until the call for heat 

is satisfied. 

8.C.4.b  Thermal Targeting 

If in Economy mode, the Thermal Boost is increased to 

various intervals depending on your chosen setting. 

 

See Figure 34 

Example:  Thermal Targeting: Economy

Monitors thermostat activity to adjust the boiler 

temperature to the minimum output required to meet 

heating load. 

Thermal Boost: 

Boosts in 10 degree increments at timed intervals

Up to Hi- Limit setting. 

Auto-Reduce: 

Reduces 5 degrees with every new call

Reduces 5 degrees every 30 minutes of no demand
