This manual must only be used by a qualified heating installer / service technician. Read instructions, including this manual and the Knight Wall Mount Installation and Operation Manual, before installing. Perform steps in the order given. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

• Wear long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing, gloves, and eye protection. Apply enough water to the combustion chamber lining to prevent airborne dust. Remove the combustion chamber lining from the boiler and place it in a plastic bag for disposal. Wash potentially contaminated clothes separately from other clothing.

Instead, shut off the gas supply at a location external to the appliance. • Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. The possible damage to a flooded appliance can be extensive and present numerous safety hazards. Any appliance that has been under water must be replaced.

The control module regulates blower speed to control boiler firing rate. The gas valve senses the amount of air flowing into the boiler and allows only the right amount of gas to flow. The Knight wall mount control module receives input from boiler sensors.

6. If the control detects a flame before the trial for ignition ends, it begins to modulate the burner in order to maintain the set point. If the boiler lights due to a space heating call for heat, and the ramp delay function is active (default is off), the modulation will be held to a series of increasing limits after the burner has lit.
Page 12
8. If the DHW thermostat remains on for more than 30 minutes, and the space heating call for heat is also on, then the control will turn on the boiler pump, turn off the DHW pump after 2 seconds, and resume modulating based on the space heating set point.

For these features to work correctly, the clock must be set when the boiler is first installed or anytime the boiler has been powered off for more than 30 days. To set the clock, parameter A3 must be accessed. The date and time are displayed as “YY:MM:DD W hh:mm”.

C1. The hours running DHW parameter shows the total number of hours the boiler has been in the DHW firing position. This parameter can be viewed by the user and the installer by accessing parameter C2.

The outdoor air shutdown differential parameter is the number of degrees below parameter F5 the outdoor air temperature must go before the boiler will respond to a SH demand. This parameter can be changed by the user or the installer by accessing parameter F6. The temperature range of this parameter is 0°F to 90°F.

The control will bypass the anti-cycling time if the water temperature drops too quickly. The control will use the water temperature the boiler was at when it shut off as the starting point. If the temperature drops below the temperature parameter the control will abort anti-cycling and allow the boiler to fire.

This parameter determines how much the temperature must go above set point before the lead boiler will turn off. This parameter can be adjusted by the installer by accessing parameter H5. The default value is 9.9°F. This parameter determines how much the temperature must go below the turn off temperature (Set point + Offset) before the lead boiler turns on.

Failure to service and maintain the boiler and system could result in equipment failure. Electrical shock hazard – Turn off power to the boiler before any service operation on the boiler except as noted otherwise in this instruction manual. Failure to turn off electrical power could result in electrical shock, causing severe personal injury or death.

2. Check the cold fill pressure for the system. Verify it is correct (must be a minimum of 12 psi). 3. Watch the system pressure as the boiler heats up (during testing) to ensure pressure does not rise too high.

4. Replace ground wires if ground continuity is not satisfactory. 1. Inspect all boiler wiring, making sure wires are in good condition and securely attached. 1. Set the SMART SYSTEM control module display to Parameter Mode and check all settings. See Section 1 of this manual.

The boiler temperature sensors (inlet water, outlet water, system water, flue, and outdoor air) are all resistance type devices. The following tables show the correct values for the sensors at various temperatures. Use an ohmmeter to read the resistance of the sensor at a known temperature.
