• OperatingDifferentialSetpoints:
Each of the two stages has an independent Operating
Differential setpoint.
• Temperature Units:
Temperature can be displayed in either °F or °C units.
• Post Circulate Delay Time:
The time circulation pump will stay on after the burner
is turned off. The time in seconds is adjustable with the
following values: 45, 90, 180 or continuous. If the continuous
value is selected the pump will remain on at all times and
the post circulate state time will be set at 45 seconds.
• Network Address:
This is a unique number assigned to this boiler to differentiate
it from other boilers or water heater on the same A. O.
Smith proprietary network. A valid Network Address can be
any number from 1 to 31. It is set by default to zero, which
is an invalid address. The boiler will not communicate until
it is changed to a valid and unique number. This prevents
two units from trying to respond to the same request from
the PC or supervisory network device.
