Any of the SQ-Elite-8T heating or cooling units can be configured as a Standby with an adjustable Standby delay. Assigning a specific unit to work in standby mode will remove it from the rotation. In this mode, the unit will be used for backup in large demand periods where the primary units will not suffice.
Or, it can be set to Set Point and sequence stages to achieve a manually adjusted Set Point in either heating or cooling. 1.25:1 In Outdoor Reset, the SQ-Elite-8T controls a hot water heating system to provide a building 1.5:1 with comfortable and even heat levels. The SQ-Elite varies the Target temperature of the circulating heating water in response to changes in the outdoor temperature.
OSS is used in fast reacting application as in process applications, where maintaining a set point is critical. The OSS utilizes the Throttle setting, as a mean to calculate the number of stages the SQ-Elite-8T shall have on at any point. For every Throttle Range below the set point an additional stage shall be turned on/energized.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT CONTROL If you need the SQ-Elite to do additional tasks that either are not listed or do not know how to configure them, contact Heat-Timer Corp. Sales Department either by Phone (973)575-4004, Fax (973) 575-4052, or by E-mail support@heat-timer.com.
• When Setback is selected from the External Input Startup menu options, an external signal can be used to switch the operation of the SQ-Elite-8T in and out of setback mode. See page 18. • The Boost can be used to bring the building to comfortable temperature settings after a Night or Setback period. It does that by increasing the target temperature in heating or decreasing it in cooling application for an adjustable period that follows the setback.
The sensor must be located where it sees the output of all the stages. If a unit Heating System Sensor Probe Sensor is piped so that the sensor does not see its output, the SQ-Elite-8T will not Strap-On Heating System Sensor sequence the units correctly. Common Supply Pipe Pipe Insulation •...
Return, the SQ-Elite-8T will sequence stages based on the Return Sensor, Minimum Return, Calculated Target, and the actual System Temperature. • The Return on the SQ-Elite-8T is designed to be connected to a temperature sensor that can be purchased separately (HT #904250-00) for immersion in a 3/8ID well (HT #350147-00 or 904011-00). •...
This feature will only be available when Shutdown is selected as the External Input Mode option from the Startup menu on page 18. • This feature can be used whenever it is desirable to turn off the SQ-Elite-8T stage outputs from a remote location or another controller (i.e. EMS input). •...
Menu. See page 18. • The SQ-Elite-8T will energize the DHW Pump whenever there is a call for DHW using a dry contact or when the DHW temperature falls below the DHW Set Point and DHW Differential when using a DHW sensor.
Stage E Stage F • If the SQ-Elite-8T is configured to operate Stage Pumps or Valves. They, must be wired to the stage output after the highest stage for that unit. That is, the low stage for the first unit must be connected to A and the higher stage of the same unit must be connected to Stage B.

Outdoor Cutoff point. That is, to turn the stages, system, and Comb. Air relays off. • The EMS 4-20mA allows the SQ-Elite-8T to receive an external set point from an EMS/BMS system. This option requires the use of the 4-20mA EMS Interface (HT# 926741-00).
Outdoor Cutoff setting. • In Cooling, the SQ-Elite-8T will sequence stages and when the system temperature is above the set point. In addition, the system relay will energize when the outdoor temperature is at or above the Outdoor Cutoff setting.
• For setback operation, the SQ-Elite-8T can either utilize its built-in night schedule, available when Shutdown or Tstat is selected as the External Input, or an external dry contact signal to switch to setback by selecting Setback from this menu.
• When Stages-On is selected, the SQ-Elite-8T will turn all unit stages On when the System reads Short or Open and the Outdoor is below the Outdoor Cutoff. When the Outdoor reads Short or Open, the SQ-Elite-8T will change the Target to the Maximum Target.
SQ-Elite-8T when in • In Heating Mode, the SQ-Elite-8T will turn all boiler relays off when it is in Summer off-season. If you do so, the setting. The Message Display Line will read Summer to show status. However, a battery will run down and DHW call will bring the boilers back on if needed.
• When the outdoor temperature rises to the Outdoor Cutoff plus a 2°F differential, the SQ-Elite-8T will turn all boilers off. The System, Combustion Air Damper, and any other Pump or valve relays that were energized will remain energized for the Run-On delay and then de-energize.
BOILER MINIMUM RETURN When a return sensor is connected to the SQ-Elite-8T, it will monitor and control the boiler return when in Heating mode. It does that by monitoring the Target temperature (TGT), System temperature (SYS), Minimum Return, and actual return. (RTN). When the SQ- Elite-8T foresees that a low return will occur, it will increase the Target automatically as an effort to increase the return temperature.
It is the amount of time it takes a single stage to affect the system. <Lead Settings> • After the SQ-Elite-8T turns on a stage trying to meet a set point, it will not turn on BACK SELECT another stage until the Reaction Time has elapsed.
When the SQ-Elite-8T 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.
The new Set Point will appear on the main display indicating this condition "Setback to 160 F". • For example, if in heating the calculated temperature is 180°F and the Setback is 20°F, then when in Setback, the SQ-Elite-8T will hold a Set Point of 160°F (180°F - 20°F).
In addition to the normal drop experienced between the boiler’s temperature and that operation. read by the SQ-Elite-8T sensor, the Last Stage Hold setting must be accounted for. The boiler limit must be set above the Set Point PLUS the Last Stage Hold PLUS the normal drop experienced in the piping.
DHW Set Point and Differential control capability. • BACK SELECT On a DHW call, the SQ-Elite-8T will raise the Target to either 200ºF or the Maximum Target, which ever is lower. • The SQ-Elite-8T provides three levels of DHW pump operation. The first is when Primary/Secondary is selected as the DHW Piping from the Startup Menu on page 18.
• The SQ-Elite-8T controls multiple relays each controlling different types of equipment. In addition to the control of the boilers or cooling units, it can control, the primary system pump, unit pumps or valves, a DHW pump, and a combustion air damper.
10:00AM Hold Button: MENU/<Histories> The SQ-Elite-8T provides users with a graphical history of the System, Outdoor, DHW, and Return sensors for the previous 24 hours. The temperatures are sampled every 12 minutes. That is, readings of temperatures are recorded and stored every 12 minutes for the last 24 hours.

Unit Pumps are being controlled by the SQ-Elite-8T. • Unit Valves are being controlled by the SQ-Elite-8T. dIsplay Messages The SQ-Elite-8T normal display layout reserved the second line for message indications. The following is a list of the most common Message Display Line information: • Summer The control is set to Summer.
Then select the Next Stage option from the menu to bring up the Boiler CD Settings menu and make all the settings. Continue until all boilers have been set. • If a SQ-Elite-EXT is connected to the SQ-Elite-8T, scrolling through stages using the Next and Prev menu options will scroll through the SQ-Elite-EXT stages as well. ALERT To be able to change the SQ-Elite settings, the Program/Run Switch must be set to Program.

Display Line will not display any season information. • If the control was set to Cooling, the SQ-Elite-8T will turn on the cooling units when it is set to Summer. However, when it is set to Winter, The Message Display Line will read Winter to show status.
BACK SAVE • The SQ-Elite-8T will add, subtract, or hold the stages of the heating or cooling units to maintain the system temperature around the Set point. • The system temperature can be expected to fluctuate around the set point. The amount of fluctuation depends on the System Settings and Stage Settings.
Boost, SQ-Elite-8T will raise the calculated water temperature by the Boost amount. Using the previous example, at 5:30AM the SQ-Elite-8T will raise the calculated water to 170˚F (150˚F + 20˚F) until 6:00AM where it will drop back to the normal...
