13 14 WarnIng the Mini-Mod is strictly an operating control. It cannot be used as a limit control. all boilers must have all safety and limit controls required by code. It is the responsibility of the installer to verify that all the safety and limits are working properly.
Rotating the first stage to be activated on a call for output promotes even wear on each stage. The Mini-MOD has three modes of rotation: Manual, Last On, or Time. The Time rotates the lead stage every selected time period from every hour to every 60 days.
When the Mini-MOD PID requires reduced output, it will reduce the modulation of the lag boiler until it reaches its Ignition %. That shall be followed by the reduction of modulation of the lead boiler until it reaches 40% percent of the Modulation Start %. This shall trigger the control to turn off the lag boiler.
1:1.25 its stages to achieve an adjustable fixed Set Point. In Outdoor Reset, the Mini-MOD controls a hot water heating system to provide a building with comfortable and even heat levels. The Mini-MOD varies the temperature of the circulating 1.25:1 heating water in response to changes in the outdoor temperature.
Each is wired in series Sensors, no Polarity is observed. with each boiler's limit circuit. Prove terminals must be connected for Mini-Mod to operate boilers.

• This feature lets the Mini-MOD run the SYS relay for a longer period after the boilers have been turned off. When this relay is used to control a pump, it helps in dissipating the excess heat from the boilers combustion chamber.
Mini-Mod is installed. Immersion Sensor alert determining the proper location of the outdoor sensor is very important. the Mini-Mod will base the heat on Well Locknut System Sensor the outdoor temperature information it receives from this location. If the sensor is in the sun, or covered with In Well ice, its reading will be different from the actual outdoor temperature (od).
"Shutdown/Tstat/Setback Mode" on page 18.. This will provide the user with a customizable Day/Night Schedule. See "Day/Night Schedules" on page 25.. • The Shutdown feature can be used whenever it is desirable to turn off the Mini-MOD stage outputs from a remote location or another controller (i.e. EMS input).
USE COPPER WIRE, CLASS 1 WIRE ONLY. • If the PROVE input is open on a call, the Mini-MOD will enable only the System Output. All boiler outputs will be off when the PROVE input is open. • A factory-installed jumper provides the System Prove signal. Do not remove the jumper unless it will be replaced by a System Prove signal or use the terminals for DHW call.

The Mini-MOD Extension is equipped with two 6-pin phone sockets to connect to Mini-MOD and an additional Mini-MOD Extension. • Set each Extension to a different letter (EXT-A or EXT-B). The Mini-MOD will assign the stage letters based on the extension letter selected.

However, a call for DHW will bring the boilers on. • When Setback is selected, the External Signal option will switch the Mini-MOD to Setback mode when terminals 31 and 32 are shorted.

Mode • When All-On is selected, the Mini-MOD will turn all boilers On to 100% when the System reads Short or Open and the outdoor temperature is below Outdoor Cutoff. However, when the Outdoor reads Short or Open, the Mini-MOD will try to maintain the Maximum Water Temperature.
Message Display Line will not display any season information when in Winter. Summer. • When the heating season is over, it is a good practice to switch the Mini-MOD to Summer setting. This will allow DHW calls to operate the boilers when needed.
(Note: The lowest water temperature the Mini-MOD will circulate is 70°F. If the Outdoor Cutoff is turned ON and the Season is set to Winter, the Mini-MOD will circulate at least 70°F water even in the hottest of weather.) In the OFF position, the system pump will always be off and all burner stages will be off.

▼ BACK SAVE • When the Mini-MOD activates a boiler, it does not start to calculate its output until the Purge Delay is over. This allows the boiler to fully come online and begin producing output. alert • The Purge Delay helps prevent short cycling of any newly activated burner. Once the burner is activated, it MUST run through the entire Purge Delay period.

• The display will show a percent that is equal to the Ignition % for the stage in Soft-Off delay. That number will blink for the Soft-Off delay period. • If during the Soft-Off delay period the Mini-Mod needed that stage to turn back on, the stage will be released from the Soft-Off delay and resume normal operation.
STAGE MENU dIsplay Messages The Mini-MOD normal display layout reserved the second line for message indications. The following is a list of the most common Message Display Line information: • DHW Call (171˚F) There is a DHW (Domestic Hot Water) call. The Mini-MOD will Raise the system Set Point to the indicated temperature.
• The following list describes the MODE options: Auto - The Mini-MOD will control the boiler’s operation to maintain the desired Set Point. Only boilers set to Auto can be Lead boilers. Standby Standby boilers can only be activated when all boilers in Auto have been at 100% modulation for a selectable period of time.
However, the Modulation Start % should still be set correctly, because it will be valid when modulation is decreasing. • Heat-Timer suggests that when Parallel is selected as the Modulation Mode (See "Modulating Mode" on page 18.) to set the Modulation percent equal to or slightly higher than double the Ignition %.
Incorrect temperature Remove the wires from the sensor terminals. The display should change to read OPEN. If it does not, the Mini-MOD may be damaged. Take an ohm reading across the detached sensor wires. The ohm reading should correspond to the Temperature sensor Table.
Building Heating Loop system: The Mini-MOD controls 4 modulating boilers. The boilers are piped in Reverse Return on the primary loop. The System output is controlling the System Pump.
