This Heat-Timer control is strictly an operating control; it should
never be used as a primary limit or safety control. All equipment
must have its own certified limit and safety controls required by local
codes. The installer must verify proper operation and correct any
safety problems prior to the installation of this Heat-Timer control.

    • T he DHW Energy Saver RS485 terminals are wired to the Platinum main board’s RS485 (under the PCB board). • F ollow the wiring as per the graph on the right. ALERT DO NOT connect the DHW Energy Saver to the RS485 on the PCB board Platinum RI board. Instead, connect the DHW Energy Saver RS485 to the Platinum main board. • M aximum wiring length should not exceed 100 Feet. Use 18 gauge 2-conductor shielded wire (#18). Connect the shield to the...

    • T he sensors must be inserted in ⅜”ID NPT well (HT# 904011-00 or TEMP 2 equivalent). Supply Temperature Sensor • T he Supply Temperature Sensor is required to be connected to the Platinum Aux Temp 0 input terminals for the DHW Energy Saver to control the boiler/water heater relay. • T he Supply sensor must be installed in any of the boiler or water heater aquastat fittings or no more than 10 Ft past the outlet of the boiler/water heater, before any takeoffs. Return Temperature Sensor • T he return Temperature Sensor is included but optional. It should be connected to the Platinum Aux Temp 1 input terminals for the DHW Energy Saver to control the Pump relay. • T he Return sensor should be installed less than 3 feet from the return circulator on the return line.

    40 F • A ny of the differentials is subtracted from the set point to determine the temperature at which the boiler/water heater or pump relay will energize. • T he DHW Energy Saver has two independent differentials for each of the supply and return. The Peak Differential is used to keep a tight control over the DHW temperature during DHW RETURN PEAK DIFF heavy usage. This differential is used when the DHW Schedule is in the Peak period. Its 20 F value must be less than or equal to the Light Differential for the same sensor. • T he Light Differential is used during the night, low DHW usage, or when a tight control of the temperature is not required. It allows the boiler or pump relay to turn on for a slightly DHW RETURN LIGHT DIFF longer period. However, due to the reduced usage, the relay will remain off for a much 40 F longer period. This type of differential is used when the DHW Schedule is in the Light period. Its value must be greater than or equal to the Peak Differential for the same sensor.

    The boiler/water heater must have its operating and limit controls installed and wired in a way so that the Supply sensor fault or DHW Energy Saver communication Error will not cause a hazardous situation. It is the responsibility of the installer to make sure of the system operation and users safety during sensor fault or communication error.
