Foreword Foreword The AERCO Benchmark 1.5LN Boiler is a modulating unit. It represents a true industry advance that meets the needs of today's energy and environmental concerns. Designed for application in any closed loop hydronic system, the Benchmark's modulating capability relates energy input directly to fluctuating system loads.

Electrical Power Requirements 2.8.1 The AERCO Benchmark 1.5 Boiler accepts 120 VAC, single-phase, 60 Hz @ 20 A. The Power Box contains a terminal block as shown in Figure 2-8. In addition, a wiring diagram showing the required AC power connections is provided on the front cover of the Power Box.
This mode of operation increases supply water temperature as outdoor temperatures decrease. An outside air temperature sensor (AERCO Part No. 122790) is required. The sensor MUST BE wired to the I/O Box wiring terminals (see Figure 2-10). Refer to paragraph 2.10.1 for additional information on outside air temperature sensor installation.
BMS to the RS485 COMM terminals on the I/O Box terminal strip. Polarity must be maintained and the shield must be connected only at the AERCO BMS. The boiler end of the shield must be left floating. For additional instructions, refer to Chapter 5, paragraph 5.6 in this manual.
OUTDOOR SENSOR IN (1) 2.10.1 An outdoor air temperature sensor (AERCO Part No. 122790) will be required primarily for the Indoor/Outdoor reset mode of operation. It can also be used with another mode if it is desired to use the outdoor sensor enable/disable feature. This feature allows the boiler to be enabled or disabled based on the outdoor air temperature.
Operating Menu. The sensor must be wired to the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the AIR TEMP. SENSOR and must be similar to AERCO BALCO wire sensor Part No. 12449. A resistance chart for this sensor is provided in Appendix C.
2.10.10 These terminals permit an external exhaust switch to be connected to the exhaust manifold of the boiler. The exhaust switch should be a normally open type switch (such as AERCO Part No. 123463) that closes (trips) at 500°F. INTERLOCKS (10, 12) 2.10.11...
U/L listed, positive pressure, watertight vent materials as specified in AERCO’s GF-2050, must be used for safety and code compliance. Since the unit is capable of discharging low temperature exhaust gases, horizontal sections of the flue vent system must be pitched back to the unit a minimum of 1/4 inch per foot to avoid condensate pooling and allow for proper drainage.
The AERCO Benchmark 1.5 Boiler is UL listed for 100% sealed combustion. It can also be installed using room air, provided there is an adequate supply. (See paragraph 2.13.3 for more information concerning sealed combustion air).

While it is possible to change the settings of temperature related functions, the unit is factory preset with settings that work well in most applications. It is suggested that an AERCO representative be contacted, prior to changing any temperature related function settings. For descriptions of temperature-related functions and their factory defaults, refer to Appendices A and E.

The BMS mode of operation is used in conjunction with an AERCO Boiler Management System. (BMS or BMS II) and the AERCO Control System (ACS). The BMS mode is used when it is desired to operate multiple units in the most efficient manner possible. For this mode of operation, a BMS Header Sensor must be installed between 2 and 10 feet downstream of the LAST boiler in the boiler plant's supply water header.
BMS Setup and Startup 5.6.2 This mode of operation is factory preset and the AERCO BMS/BMS II/ACS controls the firing rate (air/fuel valve % open position). There are no setup instructions for each individual unit. To operate the unit in manual mode, press the AUTO/MAN switch. The REMOTE LED will go off and the MANUAL LED will light To change back to the BMS mode, simply press the AUTO/MAN switch.
These default settings work well in most applications. It is suggested that AERCO be contacted prior to changing settings other than the unit’s setpoint. For a complete listing of temperature related function defaults, see Appendix E.
