operating Information oPERaTInG InfoRMaTIon The TriMax Boiler Management System is designed to be flexible yet easy to use. TriMax monitors and controls the Prestige to operate as efficiently as possible. TriMax monitors the boiler supply, return and flue gas temperatures and operates the igniter, gas valve and blower. TriMax uses this information to modulate the boiler’s firing rate to maintain the required setpoint.

cH Settings Pump constant circulation default: disabled Pump Constant Pump Constant Circulation allows the central heating circulators to be Circulation constantly enabled even without a central heating call. A domestic hot Disabled Disabled water call will cause the circulators to be disabled during the domestic call Enabled as long as DHW Priority is enabled.

cH Settings WARNING freeze Protection should only be disabled when the system con- tains antifreeze to prevent the system from freezing. Serious dam- age could occur to the Prestige as well as the entire heating system if freeze Protection is disabled without antifreeze in the system. WARNING The Prestige should nEVER be installed in a location where freezing could occur.

• Sensor - This option requires the use of Indirect Water Heater Sensor PSRKIT22 which is included with every PRESTIGE Solo. The PRESTIGE Excellence utilizes an Indirect Water Heater Sensor. The Prestige will monitor the DHW storage temperature and generate a domestic hot water call when the temperature drops below the DHW Storage Setpoint - DHW On Differential.
Page 18
dHW Settings DANGER The dHW on differential setting greatly affects the production of domestic hot water. a low setting could result in a rapid response to a domestic hot water call resulting in a potential scald hazard. It is strongly recommended that the installer uti- lize a thermostatic mixing valve on the hot water outlet of the Indirect Water Heater.

cascade operating Information cascade operating Information The TriMax Boiler Management System includes a Cascade function which allows multiple Prestige boilers to operate together without the need for an external controller. One Prestige will be selected as the Master and will be wired to accept all the low voltage control signals. The other Prestige boilers will be designated as Slaves and will only have a communication cable connecting them to the other boilers in the Cascade System.

cascade Installation cascade Installation – System Piping Standard Cascade installations will utilize a balanced manifold system as the primary / secondary connection to the system piping as shown in Figure 6, page 26 or a reverse return piping arrangement as shown in Figure 8, page 28.

PRESTIGE Solo 60, 110, 175, or 250. The total combined amp draw of the cH (1), dHW, and auxiliary Boiler circulators must not exceed 3 amps at any time for the PRESTIGE Solo 399. Use an isolation relay to lower the total combined amp draw if exceeding these limits.
Page 27
cascade Installation • Power Supply – A dedicated 120 VAC / 15A minimum service must be used to power the boilers in the Cascade System. Multiple boil- ers in the Cascade System can be placed on the same electrical cir- cuit.

30% = 60% Once the first PRESTIGE Solo 399 firing rate reaches 60%, the second PRESTIGE Solo 399 can be enabled. Both will then fire at the minimum 30% firing rate so that the overall output from the Cascade System remains the same.

cascade Settings cH or dHW Boilers default: 0 CH or DHW Boilers The CH or DHW Boilers setting specifies how many boilers in a Split Cascade System will respond to a domestic hot water call. The CH or DHW Boilers always include the Master boiler. The remaining boilers will only respond to central heating calls.

cascade Settings NOTICE only make adjustments to this setting after consulting Triangle Tube Technical Support. Improper adjustment of cH Proportional Gain could lead to temperature fluctuations and erratic cascade operation. cH Integral Gain default: 245 CH Integral Gain CH Integral Gain allows the cascade response to be adjusted for a central heating call.
Page 39
cascade Settings To reach the setpoint faster, increase the DHW Proportional Gain value by 2. Perform Cascade Autodetection and initiate a domestic hot water call. Observe the cascade response and make further adjustments if necessary. • decrease dHW Proportional Gain The Cascade System will take longer to reach the setpoint, but setpoint overshooting is minimized.

Modbus address default:0=BcST Modbus Address Modbus Address assigns the boiler with a unique address in the Modbus control system.
Modbus Interface Modbus Interface The Modbus Interface allows a Building Management System (BMS) to directly connect to the Prestige. A BMS can read information from the boiler to determine its operating state, lockout status, sensor read- ings, etc. A BMS can also operate the boiler by providing a setpoint.
