U-Control operation and setup

Temperature settings
Control is set for the proper water temperatures for the
system. Excessive water temperature can cause significant
property damage in some applications.
Multi-temperature systems
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 three circulators (boiler circulator plus two others),
assignable for each of the three possible inputs.
❏ Programmable priority assignments for the 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.
Dual sensors for boiler outlet temperature and flue temperature, pro-
❏
viding redundant protection.
Integral low water protection (by monitoring boiler heat exchanger
❏
temperature).
Boiler is shipped with an outdoor sensor and strap-on system supply
❏
and return sensors.
Sequence of operation
1. Figure 33 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.

Display Control action
• Check the boiler model listed on the power-up
screen. If it is not correct, turn off the boiler. See
Figure 102, page 86 to change setting.
POWER
• When power is turned on, the screen lists sen-
UP
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)
Standby
• 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
Blower on
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
Ignition on
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. After 5 failures, the
Space
control waits 60 minutes, then tries again.
heating
• 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. After 5 failures, the
DHW
control waits 60 minutes, then tries again.
heating
• 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
Blower on
• 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
Maintenance
• 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
Error/fault
Figure 111, page 101.
• Warm weather shutdown — the boiler will not
be allowed to fire if the outside temperature is
greater than the WWSD setting.
