Thank you for selecting the Raypak Y–Series Electronic Boiler Control. It is our sincere hope that you will enjoy its outstanding design, ease of use and energy saving features. INTRODUCTION The Y-Series Electronic Boiler Control (controller) is a microprocessor-based energy management system designed to control either single or multiple stage-fired boilers.
0.12:1 to 8:1; determines how much the micro-controller calculated Target Temperature will change for a given outdoor temperature change. Control Band: 1°F to 10°F; the temperature above or below the Target Temperature at which the boiler turns off and on. Pump Off Delay: 0 to 10 min.;...
INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING If the Y–Series Electronic Boiler Control was not mounted on the boiler by the factory, care should be taken to select a suitable mounting location. The control should be mounted on a solid and permanent base. The control enclosure is NEMA 3R rated, rainproof and sleet resistant, and can be mounted outdoors if required.
CHECK YOUR POWER SOURCE Using a volt-ohm meter, check the following voltages at the circuit breaker panel: BLACK CIRCUIT BREAKER WHITE GREEN A B C AC = 108 Volts AC Minimum, 132 Volts MAX AB = 108 Volts AC Minimum, 132 Volts MAX BC = Must be less than 1.0 Volts AC WIRING: POWER SOURCE TO CONTROLLER •...
AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR Red (spare) OUTDOOR AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor Installation Notes: • Locate the sensor on the coldest side of building, usually the North or West side. • Install the sensor in a shaded area, out of direct sunlight. •...
• The water sensor should be installed in the system supply. • Locate the water temperature sensor in the system piping just prior to the first boiler connections, on the upstream side of the System Supply Loop. • Cable length must not exceed 300 feet.
WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSTALLATION DOMESTIC HOT WATER INSTALLATIONS Air temperature sensor must be installed across air temperature sensor contacts. The sensor is not activated and can be left stored in controller enclosure. DOMESTIC HOT WATER APPLICATION SETUP PROCEDURE Install a 10,000 Ohm, 1/8 Watt resistor between pins 1 and 2 on P2 connector (see pg. 13), in place of the Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor.
WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSTALLATION POOL HEATING INSTALLATIONS Install the air temperature sensor across the air temperature sensor contacts (P2, pins 1 and 2; see the field wiring diagram on pg. 13). On the mode selector switch (S3), set switch #2 (Outdoor Reset) to ON to disable the outdoor reset function. (See pg.s 15 and 23).
Multiple-Stage Boilers - First stage connections on the control board are connected at the {TH} (Thermostat) location on the boiler wiring diagram. - Second (or third, etc.) stage connections on the control board are connected at the locations shown on the boiler wiring diagram.
INSTALLATION VERIFICATION PROCEDURE REGISTER Before proceeding any further, please verify that the user registration form has been completed and mailed. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Verify that the mechanical installation has been completed in accordance with the instructions. OUTDOOR AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR Verify that all Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor installation parameters have been met. WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR Verify that the Water Temperature Sensor installation parameters have been met.
The System is configured using the circuit board jumpers and switches, and the front panel control potentiometers. Open the front cover of the Boiler Control Box for access to the front panel. Remove the front panel to gain access to the jumpers and switches on the Y-Series Electronic Boiler Control circuit board.
MANUAL OVERRIDE Internal Switch (S5) Output Override can be used to manually override the Micro-controller control as long as the Electronic Boiler Control circuit board has 24 VAC power. See Output Over-Ride Switch (S5) above.

INDICATOR LIGHTS STAGES STAGE INDICATORS The pump driver and each of the output stages' drivers has its own LED indicator. Each of these LEDs is lit whenever the corresponding output relay is energized. PUMP INDICATOR PUMP The Pump Indicator is illuminated whenever the pump circuit and pump relay are ener- gized.
CONTROL FUNCTIONS RESET RATIO The Reset Ratio setting determines how much the Target Temperature will increase as the outdoor temperature drops. The Reset Ratio is expressed in the following manner: The first number in the ratio refers to the change in outdoor temperature in degrees Fahren- heit below outdoor cutoff while the second refers to the change in the computed Target Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
RESET RATIO CHART PUMP TURN-OFF DELAY The Pump Turnoff Delay works in conjunction with the Outdoor Cutoff Temperature. The Pump Turnoff Delay sets the delay between the time when the Outdoor Cutoff Temperature is reached and the time when the pump is turned off. The Pump Turnoff Delay is adjustable from 0 to 10 min.

BOILER TURN-ON DELAY In a multiple boiler system: The Boiler Turn-On Delay sets the time delay before each additional boiler is turned on in response to a call for heat. This delay starts when the preceding boiler is turned on.

The Set Point range is from 40°F to 220°F. Recommended Initial Setting Set for Point is 120°F. CAUTION: Setting the Set Point below 105°F may cause the boiler to condense which will damage the boiler.
The Last Stage Selector Jumper (J2) is comprised of an eight (8) position jumper block. A shunt bar jumper is placed in the position corresponding to the last active stage or boiler number. See table below for examples of Jumper (J2) settings.
0 and 9 are not used. In manual lead-lag selection, the Lead-lag Selector is used to select the lead boiler (stage). This is normally shipped from the factory set at position 1. If auto lead-lag is used, do not adjust this switch.
OPTIONAL CONTROLS Operational Override Switch Clock Alternate Setpoint Adjustment Digital Display OPTIONAL ALTERNATE SETPOINT OPERATION The Optional Alternate Setpoint can be used to establish an independent second set point for setback or temperature boost requirements. TRIPPERS The electro-mechanical timer consists of 84 small switches called "Trippers" and a 7-day mechanical clock.
