Outdoor Temperature Sensor - Lochinvar 400 Installation & Operation Manual

Field wiring
Thermostat
1. Connect the room thermostats or end switches (isolated
contact only) to room thermostat 1, 2, or 3, as shown in
FIG. 8-3.
2. Install the thermostat on the inside wall away from
influences of drafts, hot or cold water pipes, lighting
fixtures, television, sunlight, or fireplaces.
3. Thermostat anticipator (if applicable):
a. If connected directly to boiler, set for 0.1 amps.
b. If connected to relays or other devices, set to match
total electrical power requirements of connected
devices. See device manufacturers' specifications
and thermostat instructions for details.

Outdoor temperature sensor

1. Mount the sensor on an exterior wall, shielded from
direct sunlight or flow of heat or cooling from other
sources.
2. Route sensor wires through a knockout at the rear of the
boiler (see FIG. 8-2).
3. Connect the outdoor temperature sensor (FIG. 8-3) to
the outdoor sensor terminals on the connection board to
enable outdoor reset operation of the Knight XL. Do not
install the outdoor sensor.
DHW (Domestic
thermostat
Connect storage indirect water heater (DHW) thermostat
(FIG. 8-3) to the DHW thermostat terminals on the
connection board. If a tank sensor is connected (see DHW
Tank Sensor below) the tank thermostat is ignored.
DHW tank sensor
By installing a tank sensor, the SMART SYSTEM control can
perform the tank thermostat function. The SMART SYSTEM
control automatically detects the presence of this sensor, and
generates a DHW call for heat when the tank temperature
drops 6°F (3°C) below the tank set point, and finishes the call
for heat when the tank temperature reaches the tank set point.
The tank sensor included with the Lochinvar Squire® indirect
DHW tanks ( TST20015) is the only sensor suitable for use
with the SMART SYSTEM control. Connect the sensor leads
to the Tank Sensor terminals on the low voltage connection
board (FIG. 8-3). Consult the tank manufacturer for
application and performance when used with any other
indirect tank.
Failure to use the correct sensor may result
WARNING
in the tank temperature being either above
or below the set point. Failure to consult
the manufacturer of the indirect tank,
when the Squire is not used, may result in
decreased performance or the risk of scald
injury.

Installation & Operation Manual
If TST20015 is not compatible with the indirect tank, a tank
thermostat can be used to control the boiler.
thermostat should be installed per the manufacturer's
instructions and wired to the DHW Thermostat terminals on
the low voltage connection board (FIG. 8-3).
Louver proving switch
1. When the operation of the louvers needs to be verified
before the boiler fires, remove the jumper wire from these
terminals and connect them to the normally open contacts
on its proving switch (FIG. 8-3).
High gas pressure switch
1. If a switch is provided to detect excessive gas pressure,
remove the jumper wire from the terminals on the
connection board, and then connect them to its normally
closed contacts (FIG. 8-3).
Low gas pressure switch
1. If a switch is provided to detect low gas pressure, remove
the jumper wire from the terminals on the connection
board and connect them to its normally open contacts
(FIG. 8-3).
2. If both a high and low gas pressure switch is used, connect
their respective contacts in series, and connect them to the
terminals on the connection board (FIG. 8-3).
Variable speed system pump
If a variable speed pump is used in the primary loop, and a
0-10V signal is available from the pump speed control, this
signal can be used by the SMART SYSTEM control to anticipate
changes in the building heat load. By connecting this 0 - 10V
signal to the 0 - 10V SYS PUMP IN terminals, the boiler (or
cascade) can modulate up and down as the primary flow
increases and decreases.
Boiler pump speed output
This 0 - 10V output is available to control the speed of a
variable speed boiler pump. The SMART SYSTEM control will
vary the speed of this pump in order to maintain a minimum
ΔT across the heat exchanger, as well as prevent high limit
lockouts when the flow in the primary loop is extremely low.
Connect this output to the 0 - 10V input on the boiler pump
speed control.
Rate output
This output provides a 0 - 10V signal that is proportional to the
firing rate of the boiler. This may be used by a BMS system to
monitor the actual rate of the boiler.
