U-Control operation and setup

Control is set for the proper water temperatures for the
system. Excessive water temperature can cause significant
property damage in some applications.
includes circuits that require lower temperature water
(radiant slab circuits, for example) as well as higher
temperature circuits (DHW, finned tube baseboard, etc.),
it is recommended to protect low-temperature circuits
with limit controls that are wired to a U-Control external
limit circuit. Failure to provide regulation can result in
substantial property damage.
U-Control overview
The U-Control is fully programmable to meet system requirements, allow-
ing supply water regulation for up to three different systems.
U-Control features include:
Blower speed modulation to control the Ultra boiler's firing rate.
Advanced PID response to anticipate system needs based on response
to heat input.
Graphic and robust text display for ease of operation monitoring and
troubleshooting.
Preset operating parameters for typical heating systems (finned tube
baseboard, radiant floor, DHW, and others), including target tempera-
tures, reset curves and circulator assignments.
Control of up to four circulators (boiler circulator plus three others),
assignable for each of the three possible inputs.
Programmable priority assignments for the three heat inputs.
Integral outdoor reset option, with reset curves matched to the system
type selected.
Multiple boiler/heat source sequencing or modulation.
Built-in 0–10 VDC signal generator to allow parallel modulation of
multiple boilers; also capable of accepting 0–10 VDC input.
Factory-installed temperature sensors for boiler in, heat exchanger,
boiler out and flue.
The boiler is equipped with a low water cutoff, factory wired to the
U-Control, manually reset through the U-Control.
The boiler is shipped with an outdoor sensor and strap-on system
supply and return sensors for field installation.

Sequence of operation

1. Figure 60 is a summary of the operating sequence for the U-Control.
2. The symbols shown appear in the display as the U-Control cycles the
boiler.
3. The wrench symbol appears when a scheduled maintenance date arrives.
This informs the homeowner to call the contractor for service.
4. The exclamation mark symbol appears when a problem has been
detected.

U-Control sequence of operation
Check the boiler model listed on the power-up
screen. See Figure 65, page 63 to change setting
before firing boiler if boiler model is incorrect.
When power is turned on, the screen lists sen-
sors that are detected. If any sensor is not listed,
make sure it is connected correctly. Turn off
power and restart.
Standby — no calls for heat
Toggles through no dots, 1 dot, 2 dots, then
3 dots while in standby (wrench symbol will
show instead if maintenance is needed)
Call for heat detected
Display on with BLUE light (space heating) or
PURPLE light (DHW)
Start min/max on timers if more than one system
is calling — highest priority starts first
Start circulators for this priority setup
Calculate target temp — If sensor temp is below
target temp, begin firing sequence
Blower to ignition speed for prepurge
Multiple boilers/heat sources only — Start
additional-heat timer — type 1 boiler starts
immediately; type 2 activates other heat source
immediately, but doesn't start unless the timer
times out; type 3 (LEAD boiler) starts immedi-
ately and sends 0–10 VDC signal to others after
timer times out; type 4 receives signal from
LEAD boiler and starts immediately (and starts
timer for the next boiler, if programmed)
After prepurge times out, begin ignition cycle
Activate gas valve and ignition spark
Continue ignition spark for ignition period
Turn off spark and use electrode to check for
flame signal
Flame detected
Hold boiler at low fire for 1 minute
Release boiler to modulation
NOTE: If flame is not detected, the gas valve
is turned off, blower turns on (postpurge), and
control starts cycle again. Control tries one more
time, then goes to manual reset lockout.
If priority timer times out, switch to next priority
and start priority timer
If demand satisfied, go to postpurge
Flame detected
Release boiler to modulation immediately
NOTE: If flame is not detected, the gas valve
is turned off, blower turns on (postpurge), and
control starts cycle again. Control tries one more
time, then goes to manual reset lockout.
If priority timer times out, switch to next priority
and start priority timer
If demand satisfied, go to postpurge
Demand satisfied (temperature reaches target
temperature or limit setting)
Gas valve off
Blower to ignition speed for postpurge
Return to standby after purge
Display turns RED, toggling between graphic
screen and maintenance screen (occurs when
maintenance schedule timer times out)
Will show during standby only
Boiler operates as normal
Display turns RED due to error or limit event
Flashing display means lockout condition —
display toggles between three screens as in
Figure 79, page 85.
Warm weather shutdown — the boiler will not
be allowed to fire on space heating if the outside
temperature is greater than the WWSD setting.
