parameters, anti-shortcycle feature adjustment, and °F or °C display.
16. The control shall have a Test menu that allows the user to force the boiler into minimum or maximum firing
rate for 10 minutes, for set-up purposes. The test menu shall also allow the burner to be turned on or off,
and the pumps to be set to on or auto, for testing purposes. The control shall show a count-down timer,
enabling the user to see how much time is left for the test segment.
17. A Diagnostics menu shall allow the user to see analog inputs, digital inputs, and the history of alerts and
lockouts. Analog inputs shall include – outlet temperature, inlet temperature, temperature rise (delta T),
domestic water temperature, stack temperature, outdoor temperature, fan speed, flame signal, firing rate,
