60 Installation & Operation Manual 10 Start-up Set domestic hot water (DHW) operation Verify DHW mode There are two (2) modes of operation for DHW. In Normal Mode, when a DHW demand begins, the control will start the DHW pump, turn off the boiler pump (if running), and modulate to bring the outlet temperature to the DHW boiler set point.
61 Installation & Operation Manual 11 Operating information General How the boiler operates The Knight boiler uses an advanced stainless steel heat exchanger and electronic control module that allows fully condensing operation. The blower pulls in air and pushes flue products out of the boiler through the heat exchanger and flue piping.
62 Installation & Operation Manual 11 Operating information Ramp delay For systems with lower flow, the SMART SYSTEM can limit the firing rate (when enabled) when a space heating call for heat starts, or when switching from a DHW call for heat to a space heating call for heat.
High limit operations The Knight boiler is equipped with adjustable automatic reset and manual reset high limits. The automatic reset high limit has a maximum set point of 200°F and the manual reset high limit has a maximum set point of 210°F. When the outlet temperature exceeds 200°F, the automatic high limit action occurs.
64 Installation & Operation Manual 11 Operating information Cascade When multiple boilers are installed, they can be wired together in a cascade sequence.
65 OPERATION DISPLAY 1. Upon a call for heat, the gas pressure switch(es) must be closed. 2. Once the gas pressure switch(es) are closed, the control turns on the appropriate pumps (system and boiler pumps for space heating, DHW pump for DHW). The flow switch and/or LWCO must close.
66 11 Operating information Sequence of operation (continued) OPERATION DISPLAY 8. If the space heating call for heat is active, and the tank thermostat or sensor starts a DHW call for heat, the boiler will switch to the DHW mode.
