Here are instructions for setting up the Outdoor Reset
function. Notice that these instructions will be dierent,
depending on whether you have a single boiler or more
than one boiler (using Lead Lag operation).
Wiring Connections -
Connect the outdoor temperature sensor:
If your system has just one boiler –
Connect the sensor across terminals 1 and 2 on TB-7.
See Figure 30 on page 39.
If your system has more than one boiler, and is
controlled using the Lead/ Lag function –
Connect the sensor across terminals 1 and 2 on TB-7 on
the boiler which will be used as the Lead Lag Master.
Setting Up the Control Functions -
1. Enable the Outdoor Reset function:
Note: This function can be Enabled/Disabled only by
a factory trained technician.
2. Set the maximum outdoor temperature:
If the outdoor temperature reaches this value or above, the
system will use the Low Water Temp value as the setpoint.
In the example shown earlier, the Max. Outdoor Temp. is
set to 70°F. If the outdoor temperature rises above 70°F,
the system will use 100°F (the Low Water Temp.) as the
setpoint.
If your system has just one boiler –
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press
“I” to go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,”
then go to “CH Conguration.” Select “Outdoor Reset
Conguration.” Set the value on the line for “Max.
Outdoor Temp.”
If your system has more than one boiler, and is
controlled using the Lead/ Lag function –
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I” to
go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,” then go
to “Lead/ Lag Conguration.” Select “Lead/ Lag Outdoor
Reset.” Set the value on the line for “Max. Outdoor
Temp.”
3. Set the minimum outdoor temperature:
If the outdoor temperature drops to this value or below, the
system will not compensate for the outdoor temperature. In
the example shown earlier, the Min. Outdoor Temp. is set to
32°F. If the outdoor temperature is below 32°F, the system
will use the normal system setpoint (130°F in this example).
If your system has just one boiler –
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press
“I” to go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,”
then go to “CH Conguration.” Select “Outdoor Reset
Conguration.” Set the value on the line for “Min.
Outdoor Temp.”
If your system has more than one boiler, and is
controlled using the Lead/ Lag function –
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I” to
go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,” then go
to “Lead/ Lag Conguration.” Select “Lead/ Lag Outdoor
Reset.” Set the value on the line for “Min. Outdoor
Temp.”
4. Set the low water temperature:
If the outdoor temperature reaches the Max. Outdoor Temp.
or higher, the system will use the Low Water Temp value as
the new setpoint. In the example shown earlier, the Max.
Outdoor Temp. is set to 70°F. If the outdoor temperature
reaches 70°F or above, the system will use the Low Water
Temp. value (example - 100°F) as the setpoint.
If your system has just one boiler –
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press
“I” to go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,”
then go to “CH Conguration.” Select “Outdoor Reset
Conguration.” Set the value on the line for “Low Water
Temp.”
If your system has more than one boiler, and is
controlled using the Lead/ Lag function –
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I” to
go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,” then go
to “Lead/ Lag Conguration.” Select “Lead/ Lag Outdoor
Reset.” Set the value on the line for “Low Water Temp.”
5. Set the minimum boiler water temperature:
If a value is entered here, the temperature in the boiler
will never be allowed to drop below this temperature. This
will protect the boiler against possible damage due to
expansion of ice inside the unit. (Notice that this is dierent
from the “low water temperature” described above.)
If your system has just one boiler –
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press
“I” to go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,”
then go to “CH Conguration.” Select “Outdoor Reset
Conguration.” Set the value on the line for “Min. Boiler
Water Temp.”
If your system has more than one boiler, and is
controlled using the Lead/ Lag function –
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I” to
go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,” then go
to “Lead/ Lag Conguration.” Select “Lead/ Lag Outdoor
Reset.” Set the value on the line for “Min. Water Temp.”
8.L Warm Weather Shutdown
About Warm Weather Shutdown -
The Warm Weather Shutdown feature tells the unit to stop
ring if the outdoor temperature rises above a temperature
you set. Notice that this aects the central heat or
hydronic function only. If a call for domestic hot water
arrives, the unit will still re and respond to that. Warm
Weather Shutdown requires the connection of an outdoor
temperature sensor. See Section 8.10. (If Outdoor Reset
is active, the same sensor can be used for both functions.)
Here are instructions for setting up the Warm Weather
Shutdown function. Notice that these instructions will be
