As a stand-alone, the SQ-Elite-MV is designed to control six stages. However, it has the capability of expanding its control to two extension panels each with eight stages. Thus, the SQ-Elite-MV can control a total of up to 22 stages. It controls not just all the stages, but their pumps or valves, in addition to the secondary loop motorized valve and pump to maintain a precise system set point for each of the primary and secondary loops.
This means that for each degree the outdoor temperature dropped the water temperature 120° Water Temperature. will increase 2 degrees. The SQ-Elite-MV has a full range of Reset Ratios to match any buildings heat loss characteristics. A heating curve that relies not only on Outdoor temperature but also on type of radiation +20 Offset will improve heat comfort.

• Rotating the lead boiler to be activated on a call for output promotes even wear on all boilers. The SQ-Elite-MV has three modes of rotation: Manual, First-On-First-Off, or Timed Rotation. This option automatically rotates boilers every selected time period from one hour to every 41 days (999 hours) .

If the Return is below the Minimum Return, the SQ-Elite-MV will sequence stages based on the Return Sensor, Minimum Return, SEQ Target, and the actual SEQ System Temperature.
See External Input 1 on page 19. • This feature can be used whenever it is desirable to turn off the SQ-Elite-MV stage as well as close the motorized valve from a remote location or another controller (i.e. EMS input).
• This feature can be used whenever it is desirable to activate the motorized valve loop from a remote location or another controller (i.e. Thermostat). • When the Tstat feature is enabled by closing a dry-contact, the SQ-Elite-MV will modulate the motorized valve to achieve the desired MOV Set Point.
4-20Ma eMs Interface • The SQ-Elite-MV is equipped with a 6-pin phone socket to connect to SQ-Elite-EXT Extension panels or 4-20mA EMS Interface. • Only the 6-wire phone cable provided must be used for proper operation.

SEQ Outdoor Cutoff point. That is, to turn the stages, stage pumps or valves, and SEQ System relays off. • The EMS 4-20mA allows the SQ-Elite-MV to receive an external SEQ Set Point from an EMS/BMS system. This option requires the use of the 4-20mA EMS Interface (HT# 926741-00).
• The Valve option functions similar to the pump option except that when all SQ-Elite-MV stages are off and after Run-On delay has elapsed, the Lead boiler's valve relay will remain energized to allow for flow across the system. The lead boiler's valve will remain energized until the Outdoor temperature rises above the SEQ Outdoor Cutoff or the Shutdown or Summer is activated.
Mode • When Stages-On is selected, the SQ-Elite-MV will turn all boiler stages On when the SEQ System reads Short or Open and the outdoor temperature is below SEQ Outdoor Cutoff. However, if the outdoor temperature is above the Outdoor Cutoff, the Outdoor Cutoff will take over turn off the stages.
Mode • If Valve Close is selected, the SQ-Elite-MV will energize the MOV Close relay when the SEQ System sensor reads Short or Open. • If Valve Open is selected, the SQ-Elite-MV will energize the MOV Open relay when the MOV System sensor reads Short or Open.
Hold Button: MENU/Season SQ-Elite-MV when in Summer. • The SQ-Elite-MV will turn all boiler relays off when it is in Summer setting. In addition, If you do so, the battery will the motorized valve MOV Close relay will energize for 6 minutes to guarantee valve run down and will have to be closure.
• When the outdoor temperature rises to the Outdoor Cutoff plus a 2°F differential, the SQ-Elite-MV will turn all boilers off and close the motorized valve. The System relay and any other stage pump or valve relays that were energized will remain energized for the Run-On delay.
• The SQ-Elite-MV will use that value as a guide. It will start to add additional stages if it foresees that the RTN temperature will drop below the Min. Return. During that period, it will display "Hold Return at 120 F" in the Display Message Line to indicate that the SQ-Elite-MV is sequencing boilers to protect the return from dropping below the Minimum Return.
Hold Button: MENU/<SEQ Settings>/<System Settings>/<Stage Settings>/Reaction time 2min • It is the amount of time it takes a single stage to affect the system. • After the SQ-Elite-MV turns on a stage trying to meet a set point, it will not turn on another BACK SAVE stage until the reaction time has elapsed.
• When the SQ-Elite-MV brings on the Lead Stage, the Set Point is quickly exceeded, and the Lead Stage is turned off. To prolong the run time during this type of condition, use the Last Stage Hold setting.

Hold Button: MENU/<SEQ Settings>/<SEQ System Settings>/Setback • The Setback feature can be used to provide the SQ-Elite-MV with a lower temperature Set Point when less load is required. • The new Set Point will appear on the main display indicating this condition "Setback to 160 F". For example, if the calculated temperature is 180°F and the Setback is 20°F, then when in Setback, the SQ-Elite-MV will hold a Set Point of 160°F.
If hours are to be set to PM, scroll through the AM hours to reach the PM hours. • Remember that the battery is the backup for the Time. If no power is supplied to the SQ-Elite-MV, the battery will die in three months and time clock values will be lost and will need to be reset.
Buttons The SQ-Elite-MV display layout provides a variety of information that gives an immediate picture of the operation status. The display shows a maximum of four heating boilers at a time. Each boiler is displayed as multiple letters indicating the stages on the boiler.

Auto - The SQ-Elite-MV will control the boiler operation to maintain the desired Set Point. Only boilers set to Auto can be Lead. Standby Standby boilers can only be activated when all boilers in Auto have been at HI for an adjustable Standby delay period. A boiler can be set to Standby if needed to be available in extreme load conditions.
• S ensor Fault - If SEQ Sensor Fault is set to Stages On and the Outdoor or SEQ System sensor reads Short or Open, the SQ-Elite-MV will change the SEQ Target to the Maximum Water temperature or turn all boiler stages on. Check the Outdoor and SEQ System Sensors.

21 and 22 and across terminals 23 and 24. The meter should register continuity across terminals 21 and 22 and should register no continuity across terminals 23 and 24. Otherwise, the SQ-Elite-MV may be damaged. Then, set the Valve mode to Open and check for continuity across terminals 23 and 24 and across terminals 23 and 24..

Set Point Temperature. No season information will be displayed. • When the Winter is over, it is a good practice to switch the SQ-Elite-MV Season setting to Summer. This will allow DHW calls to operate the boilers when needed as well as preserve the battery life.
Outdoor Cutoff menu option will automatically appear. • When the outdoor temperature falls to the adjustable Outdoor Cutoff temperature, the SQ-Elite-MV will control the outputs, whether those outputs are multiple boiler stages or a motorized valve, to hold the calculated temperature.
SQ-Elite-MV & SQ-Elite-EXT Installation Manual • When the outdoor temperature rises to the Outdoor Cutoff plus a 2°F differential, the SQ-Elite-MV will turn all boilers off and close the motorized valve. The System relay and any other stage pump or valve relays that were energized will remain energized for the Run-On delay (adjustable in Installer Menu only).
