SECTION XII: OPERATING (CONTINUED)
g. Start Temperature (t_)
  The amount of “Heat available” is calculated by 
taking the difference between measured boiler 
water temperature and the Start Temperature 
setting. Useful “Heat Available” is dependent 
on the type of heating emitter installed in the 
home. Heat emitters require a certain minimum 
temperature to operate effectively. Our default 
settings reect cast iron radiators. Fan Coils 
may require a start temperature setting of 180°F 
or 160°F before providing heat to the home. The 
Start Temperature has a factory setting of 140°F 
and is eld adjustable between 140°F and 180°F.
h. Priority Time (Pt_)
  When the Priority Time parameter is set to “on” 
and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) call for heat is 
“on” the DHW demand will take “Priority” over 
home heating demand and the system circulator 
will be forced “off”. Priority Time ends and 
the system circulator is released to service home 
heating demand when Domestic Hot Water call 
for heat is over. When Priority Time parameter 
is set to “Off” the DHW call for heat does not 
force “off” the system circulator. The Priority 
Time has a factory setting of “On” and is eld 
adjustable between “On” and “Off” Refer to 
Table 7A.
i.  "ZC" and "ZR" Terminal Function (ZC_)
  The boiler control allows conguration of the 
"ZC" output functionality to help the V8H 
integrate into each installation more effectively. 
The "ZC" output can be connected to a domestic 
hot water circulator or a second heating zone 
circulator or be used to enable pumps in a warm 
start application. These applications are selected 
as follows:
i.  When ZC_ is set equal to Domestic Hot 
Water Demand (dh)
  When there is an Indirect Water Heater 
(IWH) the boiler control provides a “ZR” 
input terminal for the IWH Aquastat 
and “ZC” output terminal for the DHW 
Circulator. When there is a DHW call 
for heat, the System Circulator is “forced 
off”, the DHW Circulator terminal is 
energized and the circulator pre-purge time 
delay control logic is bypassed to allow 
the boiler to re without delay. When 
DHW demand ends the System Circulator 
“force off” is removed, the circulator can 
respond normally, and the DHW Circulator 
is de-energized. The DHW call for heat 
is detected by a voltage on to the "ZR" 
terminal. When a Priority Time parameter 
is set to “off” the System Circulator is not 
forced off for a DHW call for heat. Refer to 
Table 7A.
  When an Outdoor Air Reset Option Card is 
installed and there is a DHW call for heat 
there is an adjustable DHW Temperature 
Setpoint and Priority Timer included. Refer 
to Table 7B.
