Control overview Th e 200i SmartCycle control monitors boiler temperature and limit circuit inputs, modulating boiler fi r- ing rate to meet demand. Th e control uses microprocessor electronics, watching time-average response from the system to anticipate how much heat the system needs. Coupled with the fi ve-to-one turndown of the 200i boiler, this results in maximum possible condensing-mode operation.

Contents 1 Method 1: SmartCycle modulation – control. . .page 6 • Th e 200i SmartCycle control can control up to (16) 200i boilers using built-in soft ware and hardware. • Install a RS485 interface on each boiler and connect with RJ45 SmartCycle cables (or shielded wires).
Close the external gas valve on every boiler. Wire all boilers following the guidelines in this section. Att ach a header sensor to the master boiler ONLY. Th e 200i control automatically confi gures the boiler with a header sensor as the master.
• Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 5 show wiring of the Boiler circulator (or boiler/system circulator) to the terminal strip of the 200i electrical connection board. • DO NOT directly connect a circulator with a motor larger than 1/4 hp. For larger motors, install a circulator relay or motor contactor .

AUTO means the 200i control determines the setpoint (using local setpoint, outdoor reset or header temperature setpoint). The option is “4-20ma. ” If 4-20 ma is selected, the 200i control determines setpoint based on the signal it receives at the 4-20ma terminals on the connection board. The setpoint temperature (°F) equals the signal current (ma) divided by 0.09;...
