X. OPERATING
A.  BOILER SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
1.  The boiler's sequence of operation is shown in Table 
10.
2. When there is a call for heat the boiler control starts the 
system circulator and the thermal purge (circulator pre-
purge time) begins. If the time is completed or boiler 
temperature is less than the Start Temperature (140 F 
default) the start sequence continues by energizing the 
oil primary to operate the following sequence: blower is 
started and operates for pre-purge time; spark is energized 
and fuel valve is opened for ignition trail time; burner 
res until the thermostat is satised.
3. If the thermostat is not satised and the Operating Setpoint 
(SP) is reached the system circulator will continue to 
operate and the burner will stop. When the boiler water 
temperature drops below the setpoint less the differential 
setting the burner will restart.
4. After the thermostat is satised the burner and circulator 
are stopped.
5.  When an indirect water heater aquastat call for heat is 
wired to the DHW input the control starts the Domestic 
Hot Water circulator and when boiler temperature is less 
than the operating setpoint energizes the oil primary to 
turn on the burner without circulator pre-purge delay.
6.  On water boilers equipped with a High Limit Option 
Card, if boiler water temperature exceeds the high limit 
setting, the system pump will continue to operate, and 
the burner will stop. When the boiler water temperature 
drops below the High Limit Card differential setting, 
(15°F), the burner will restart.
7. On water boilers equipped with a LWCO Option Card, 
if level probe senses a low water condition, the system 
pump will continue to operate and the burner will stop.  
When water level is replenished, the burner will restart.
Status Code Displayed in STA Mode
STA Status Description
1
Standby
(burner off,
circulator off)
No call for Heat Detected. 
1
Standby
(burner off,
circulator on)
Either condition is true:
a. Call for heat detected and boiler 
 temperature higher than operating 
 setpoint.
b. Call for heat is detected and boiler 
 temperature higher than start tempera
 ture (140°F default) and circulator pre-
 purge time has not expired.
4** Pre-purge The blower is turned on for a valve-on delay.
6*
Trial For Ignition 
(TFI)
The igniter is turned on and the fuel valve is 
opened. A ame must be established within 
the trial for ignition time.
7* Carryover
Once ame is established, the ignition remains 
on for 10 seconds to ensure ame stability and 
then turns off.
8 Running
The burner runs until the call for heat is satised. 
The burner is then sent to burner motor-off 
delay, as applicable, or it is shut down and 
sent to standby.
9* Post-purge
The fuel valve is closed and the burner motor is 
kept on for an off delay time before the control 
returns the burner to standby.
10*
Retry / Recycle 
Delay
If the ame is lost  while  the  burner  is ring, 
the control shuts down the burner, enters a 
recycle delay, and then repeats the ignition 
steps outlined above. If the ame is lost three 
times in a row, the control locks out to prevent 
cycling with repetitious ame loss caused by 
poor combustion.
14* Hard Lockout
If ame is not sensed by the end of the TFI, the 
control shuts down on safety lockout and must 
be manually reset. Press and hold reset button 
for 30 seconds to reset the restricted lockout.
15*
Waiting for Limit to 
Close
Heat  request  present  and  start  sequence  is 
halted due to an open limit. Open limits include 
high water temperature or low water detected 
by IQ Option Cards.
16*
Flame Present Out 
of Sequence
Flame signal is still present when expected to 
be 0 (no ame).
17 Self Test Control internal checking.
