DHW MODE 4 OPERATION
In DHW MODE 4, the space heating zones must be prevented from coming on during DHW demands using external wiring. This
can be done using an external relay to remove power from zone pumps or zone valves while a DHW Demand is present. This
external relay is interlocked with the DHW Pmp / Vlv contact.
During a DHW Demand, the control closes the primary pump (Prim P1) contact and the DHW Pmp / Vlv contact. Once the DHW
Demand is removed, or during a DHW priority override, the DHW Pmp / Vlv contact is opened, and the external wiring should allow
the space heating zones to operate.
There is no mixing purge available in DHW MODE 4. After DHW priority, the boiler supply water temperature may exceed the design
water temperature of the space heating system and can result in damage to the heating system.

Type 270 includes: One Boiler Control 270, One Outdoor Sensor 070, One Universal Sensor 082, Data Brochures D 270, D 070,
D 001, Application Brochure A 270.
Note: Carefully read the details of the Sequence of Operation to ensure that you have chosen the proper control for your application.
STEP TWO
Remove the control from its base by pressing down on the release clip in the wiring chamber and sliding the control away from it.
The base is then mounted in accordance with the instructions in the Data Brochure D 001.
STEP THREE
All electrical wiring terminates in the control base wiring chamber. The base has standard
common wiring hardware and conduit fittings. Before removing the knockouts, check the wiring diagram and select those sections
of the chamber with common voltages. Do not allow the wiring to cross between sections, as the wires will interfere with safety
dividers which should be installed at a later time.
Power must not be applied to any of the wires during the rough-in wiring stage.

•
Install the Outdoor Sensor 070 according to the installation instructions in the Data Brochure D 070 and run the wiring back to
the control.
•
Install the Boiler Supply Sensor 082 according to the installation instructions in the Data Brochure D 070 and run the wiring
back to the control.
•
If an Indoor Sensor 076 or 077 is used, install the indoor sensor according to the instructions in the Data Brochure D 074 and
run the wiring back to the control.
•
Run wire from other system components (pumps, boiler, etc.) to the control.
•
Run wires from the 115 V (ac) power to the control. Use a clean power source with a 15 A circuit to ensure proper operation.
Multi-strand 16 AWG wire is recommended for all 115 V (ac) wiring due to its superior flexibility and ease of installation into
the terminals.
