E.  Alliance SL™ Water Heater (if used). May be used 
with Intermittent Circulation only.
  Refer to Alliance SL™ Installation, Operating 
and Service Instructions for wiring, piping and 
additional information.
F.  Vent Damper Sequence of Operation. See Figure 28 
for schematic wiring diagram.
1.  The Vent Damper is continuously powered at 
Terminal 1.
2.  When there is a call for heat, the damper relay coil 
is energized through Terminal 5 if all limits ahead of 
the damper are satised.
3.  The relay coil closes contacts which energize the 
damper motor, causing the damper to open.
4.  When the damper blade reaches the fully open 
position, power is sent back to the ignition circuit 
through Terminal 2 and the damper motor is de-
energized.
5.  When the call for heat is satised, the damper 
relay coil is de-energized - closing contacts which 
energize the damper motor. This causes the damper 
to close. When the damper blade reaches the fully 
closed position, the damper motor is de-energized.
POWER FAILURE - The damper blade will stop in the 
position it was in when power failed. (Combustion 
can never take place unless the damper blade is in 
the fully open position).
G.  Sequence of Operation and Wiring. Refer to Table 
10 for the appropriate control system.
H.  Optional Low-Water Cut-Off Wiring. See Figures 45 
through 48.

* If room is heated above thermostat temperature setting, reduce heat anticipator setting by 0.1 or 
0.2 amps. If boiler short cycles without room reaching desired temperature, increase heat anticipator 
by 0.1 or 0.2 amps.
