IM-HC 561174 1120 Basic Heating Control

Boiler Contact

The Boiler terminals (5 and 6) are an isolated (dry) output in the Basic 

Heating Control. There is no power available on these terminals from 

the control. These terminals are to be used as a switch to either make 

or break the boiler circuit. When the Basic Heating Control requires the 

boiler to fire, it closes the contact between terminals 5 and 6.

4.2.3 Sensor and Unpowered Input Connections

Do not apply power to these terminals as this will damage the control.

Connect the two wires from the Outdoor Sensor to the Com and Out 

terminals (11 and 12). The Outdoor Sensor is used by the Basic Heating 

Control to measure the outdoor air temperature.

4.2.3.1 Outdoor Sensor

Connect the two wires from the Supply Sensor to the Com and Mix 

terminals (10 and 11). The Supply Sensor is used by the Basic Heating 

Control to measure the supply water temperature downstream of the 

diverting or mixing valve.

4.2.3.2 Supply Sensor

If an optional indoor sensor (Part Number 16016) is used, connect the 

two wires from the sensor to the Com and Indr terminals (11 and 13) (Part 

Number 16016).
