2.9 MODES OF OPERATION AND
FIELD CONTROL WIRING
The Benchmark 2.0LN Boiler is available in
several different modes of operation.
each unit is factory configured and wired for its
intended mode, some additional field wiring may
be required to complete the installation. This
wiring is typically connected to the Input/Output
(I/O) Box located on the lower portion of the unit
front panel (Figure 2-9) behind the removable
front door.
To access the I/O Box terminal strips shown in
Figure 2-9, loosen the four cover screws and
remove the cover. All field wiring is installed
from the rear of the panel by routing the wires
through one of the four bushings provided.
Refer to the wiring diagram provided on the
cover of the I/O Box (Figure 2-10) when making
all wiring connections.
Brief descriptions of each mode of operation,
and their wiring requirements, are provided in
the following paragraphs. Additional information
concerning field wiring is provided in paragraphs
2.10.1 through 2.10.10. Refer to Chapter 5 for
detailed information on the available modes of

electrical power connections, are required for
this mode. However, if desired, fault monitoring
or enable/disable interlock wiring can be utilized
(see paragraphs 2.10.9.1 and 2.10.10).
