Note: It is recommended that the levelling bolts included
with the boiler are used when installing the boiler
on uneven surfaces.
1. Once removed from the wooden shipping pallet from
the boiler base. Remove the 4 leveling bolts A from
boiler’s accessory package and install into the four
corners of the boiler base.
2. It is recommended to place a flat piece of steel plate
under each leveling bolt for better weight distribution
and adjustment.
3. Level the boiler, by adjusting the floor levelling bolts.
Water Side Connection
Note: Make all connections free of load and torque stresses.
The heating system must be properly flushed, especially
if the Vitocrossal 300, CA3 boiler is connected to an
existing heating system in a retrofit application.
See page 11 for details.
Connect the system to the boiler according the diagram
on page 42.
Note: All connections which are not being utilized for
water connections or for controls must be properly
closed.
The supplied air vent and pressure relief valve must be
installed on the supply header of the boiler - the alternate
pressure relief valve location may be in the boiler supply
line. The piping to the precharged expansion tank, as well
as any automatic feed water required, must be connected
to the boiler return. Boiler pump shall be installed on
return pipe, pumping water into the boiler.
The supplied low water cut-off should be installed directly
on the safety header of the boiler or may be installed in
the boiler piping above the pressure vessel.
Note: Piping diagrams for specific system layouts are
available. Please enquire with your local Viessmann
sales representative.
The Vitocrossal 300, CA3 boiler is only suited for hot
water heating. Do not install a 4-way mixing valve,
bypass valve or similar.

Hydrostatic test procedure
All Vitocrossal 300, CA3 boilers are factory tested
(hydrostatic testing) to ASME requirements. The
following testing procedure is to ensure that the boiler
remained intact during shipping and handling.
1. Isolate boiler from hydronic heating system using
isolating valves (i.e. expansion tank, feed water valve,
pressure relief valve etc.).
2. Remove 75 psig pressure relief valve from the boiler
and cap pipe outlet.
3. Fill boiler with city water and pressurize it to one and
a half (1½) times the maximum working pressure of
boiler. The pressure must be controlled such that it
will never be 10 psig higher than the testing pressure.
Max. allowable working pressure: 160 psig
Testing pressure: 240 psig (do not exceed 250 psig)
WARNING
Never expose the boiler to any pressures higher than
250 psig during testing.

4. Monitor pressure over a period of approximately one
hour to ensure that the pressure remains constant and
steady at 240 psig.
5. Should there be a drop in pressure, ensure that
all fittings are secure and tight. Check all flanged
connections with a flashlight.
6. Open the boiler combustion chamber and inspect with
a flashlight the front portion of the Inox-Lamellar heat
exchanger sections for system water or fluid.
7. If test is successful, reinstall all hydronic system
components and refill the boiler with water or system
fluid.

Establishing a LON-Connection
The Viessmann LON is designed for the BUStopology “line” with double-sided terminating resistors
(Accessories). For further information please see
“Viessmann LON-Handbuch“ at www.viessmann.de/lon.
The transfer distances for LON are dependent upon the
electrical characteristics of the cable. For this reason only
the specified cable types may be used. Only one type of
cable may be used within a LON.
Types of cable (on-site):
2-core cable, CAT5, screened
JY(St)Y 2 x 2 x 0.8 mm (Telephone cable)

5776 774 - 05
The requirements for cables and operation of the
LON interface FTT 10-A must be observed
(see www.echelon.com).
All Viessmann equipment is connected via RJ45 plugs.
Cores “1” and “2” and screening are required for the
Viessmann LON. The cores are interchangeable.

Initial System Fill
Treatment of boiler feed water should be considered in
areas of known problems, such as high mineral content
and hardness. In areas where freezing might occur, an
antifreeze may be added to the system water to protect
the system (maximum mix ratio - 50% / 50%). Please
adhere to the specifications given by the antifreeze
manufacturer for hydronic heating systems.
IMPORTANT
Only use antifreeze specific for hydronic heating
systems. Do not use automotive glycol!
Please observe that an antifreeze/water mixture may
require a backflow preventer within the automatic water
feed and influence components such as diaphragm
expansion tanks, radiation etc. A 40% antifreeze content
will provide freeze-up protection to -31°F (-25°C).
The heating system may also contain components which
may be negatively affected by antifreeze. Check entire
system frequently when filled with antifreeze. Read boiler
service instructions for further information on water
quality.
CAUTION
Before the heating boiler is installed and piped into an
existing system, the heating system itself must be
properly flushed to remove dirt and system sludge.
Accumulations in old heating systems will tend to settle
in the boiler and can lead to deposits which can cause
hot spots, noise and water-side corrosion. For damages
resulting from those kinds of impurities, the warranty
will be null and void.
The Vitocrossal 300, CA3 boiler is only suitable for closed
hot water heating systems with pumps.
It is strongly recommended to install boiler isolation
valves and above these isolation valves, drain valves in
the system supply and return. With this installed, any
maintenance work on the boiler or heating system,
will not require draining the entire system.
The pressure relief valve must be attached to the top of
the boiler or the safety supply of the boiler (see page 15).
No valve, shut-off device or obstruction of any kind and
no construction must be used between boiler and relief
valve or on the discharge side of the pressure relief valve.
The discharge side of the pressure relief valve must
continue in the same size as the outlet horizontally over
the side of the boiler, and then vertically downwards to
end approximately 1 ft. (300 mm) above the floor, and
piped as close to a floor drain as possible. Do not install
this discharge pipe to the outdoors or any area where
freezing might occur or the discharge pipe could endanger
life and equipment.
IMPORTANT
Secure the discharge piping from the pressure relief valve
with the appropriate hangers or brackets.
IMPORTANT
Cold water fill pressure must equal expansion tank pressure.
The boiler should be filled and properly bled of air and
the cold water fill pressure should not exceed 18-20 psig.
All openings, as well as pipe connections on the boiler,
should be observed for possible leaks. Once all
connections are tight, the insulation can be mounted.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that there is no leak on any of the connections
which are covered by the insulation.
WARNING
Fill only suitable water in boiler (refer to Service
Instruction). Unsuitable water quality may damage boiler.
When the boiler is utilized to supply heat to an indirectly
heated domestic hot water tank, it is necessary that the
heating loops (without a mixing valve) are equipped with
flow check valves on the discharge side of the pumps to
avoid reverse flow.
IMPORTANT

General
The schematics on the following pages are to be seen
as guidelines only. They further do not display all system
varieties, safety devices, or concepts possible. Specific
system layouts may be further discussed with the local
Viessmann sales representative office.
Clearances
A minimum of 2 in. (51 mm) circumferential clearance from
non-insulated hot water pipes to combustible construction
must be maintained. In cases where the pipes are insulated
with pipe insulation of appropriate and sufficient thickness
and insulation values, the above clearance may be reduced
to 0 in. (refer to local gas codes).
CAUTION
For underfloor heating applications, an additional
immersion or strap-on aquastat must be installed in the
low temperature underfloor loop (downstream of the
mixing valve) to de-energize the pump and/or boiler
to prevent overheating. High water temperatures can
damage concrete slabs.
IMPORTANT
The examples on the following pages depict possible
piping layouts of the Vitocrossal 300, CA3 boiler equipped
with Viessmann System Technology.
For boiler and tank combinations, please install only
feasible combinations listed in the Viessmann Price List.
WARNING
If a DHW storage tank other than a Viessmann Vitocell
100 or 300 tank is used, the installer must verify proper
operation of the Viessmann DHW tank temperature
sensor with the original manufacturer of the tank.
Viessmann strongly recommends the installation of a
temperature tempering valve in the DHW supply line.
IMPORTANT
DHW supply and return piping between boiler DHW
connections and the Viessmann DHW tank connections,
shall be a minimum of 1¼ in. pipe size. This will ensure
the residual head of the field supplied pump is fully
utilized to overcome the resistance of the DHW heat
exchanger coil and to provide sufficient water flow to
the boiler heat exchanger.
In non-Viessmann DHW tank applications, perform, in
addition to the above, accurate calculations for DHW
tank coil pressure drop versus boiler pump (field supplied)
residual head to ensure sufficient water flow to the boiler
heat exchanger. Failure to heed the above instructions
may cause boiler short-cycling and inadequate DHW
supply.
Note: In the following piping layout examples all pumps
are field supplied.

The Vitocrossal 300, CA3 boiler, when used in connection
with a refrigeration system, must be installed so that the
chilled medium is piped in parallel to the boiler and with
appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium from
entering the boiler.
The boiler piping system of a hot water heating boiler is
connected to the heating coils located in the air handling
units. The boiler piping system may be exposed to
refrigerated air circulation and must be equipped with
flow control valves or other automatic means to prevent
gravity circulation of the boiler water during the cooling
cycle.
Check the installation instructions of the chiller
manufacturer carefully for additional requirements.

General Venting Information
Installation steps (outline)
WARNING
Ensure that the entire venting system is protected from
physical damages. A damaged venting system may
cause unsafe conditions.
WARNING
The venting system is approved for indoor installations
only. Do not install the venting system outdoors.
IMPORTANT



Boiler operation in marine environments (damp, salty
coastal areas):
The service life of the Vitocrossal 300, CA3 boiler’s
exposed metallic surfaces, such as the casing and fan
housing, is directly influenced by proximity to damp
and salty marine environments. In such areas, higher
concentration levels of chlorides from sea spray, coupled
with relative humidity, can lead to degradation of the
exposed metallic surfaces mentioned above. Therefore,
it is imperative that boilers installed in such environments
not be installed using direct vent systems which draw
outdoor air for combustion. Such boilers must be installed
using room air dependent vent systems; i.e. using room
air for combustion. The indoor air will have a much lower
relative humidity and hence, the corrosion will be
minimized.
Route vent pipe as directly as possible and with as few
bends as possible to the boiler.
Check proper location of gaskets in rigid PP(s) pipe
collars. (Only use supplied parts with the polypropylene
venting system.) Apply water to lubricate the joint ends
of the vent pipe collar and if used, the air intake pipe
collar.
Slide pipes into each other with a gentle twisting
motion.
Condensate must drain from the flue pipe to the boiler.
Ensure a suitable gradient of at least 3º [approx. 2 in.
per 3.3 ft. (50 mm per 1 m)].
Use a hacksaw or sheet metal snips (for stainless
steel) to cut pipes to length (if necessary). Use a file to
smooth rough edges. Pipe must be round and not bent
into an oval shape.
IMPORTANT
When cutting pipes to length, deburr and clean pipes.

For stainless steel and PP(s) venting systems:
In conjunction with these instructions, follow the
installation instructions supplied by the special venting
manufacturer.
If using room air-independent venting system, connect
the air intake pipe (from outdoors) to the combustion air
intake kit. If room air-dependent venting system is used,
the air is drawn into the burner inlet through the screens
on the right side of the boiler.
Recommended venting practice
When installing a venting system the following
recommended venting practices apply:
 Keep length and number of 90º elbows to a minimum.
 Try not to use back-to-back 90º elbows.
 Use 45º elbows where possible to minimize the number
of 90º elbows in case redirection of flue gas is required.
 The special vent system shall not be routed into,
through, or within any other vent such as an existing
masonry or factory-built chimney.
Exception:
A masonry chimney flue may be used to route the venting
system only if no other appliance is vented in the same flue.

Venting
Vitocrossal 300 CA3 - 3.5, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 Installation/Service
Requirement for UL/ULC Listed Rigid SS/PP(s) Vent Pipe Material
Requirements for PP(s) and stainless steel
The venting system must be installed by a licensed
professional heating contractor familiar with the operation
and maintenance of heating appliances and venting.
Before installing, ensure that the complete installation
literature has been read. Failure to follow proper
installation procedures as stated in these instructions,
including vent pitch and proper appliance connections,
may violate local, provincial/state, or national codes
and cause unsafe conditions which may lead to severe
property damage or personal injury.
The venting system must be installed in accordance with
local building code requirements as well as national codes.
For installations in Canada use CAN/CSA-B149.1 Natural
Gas Installation Code or CAN/CSA-B149.2
Propane Installation Code as applicable; in the U.S. use the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or NFPA Standard 54.
To ensure safe operation of the appliance, Viessmann
recommends that the system be inspected once a year
by a qualified service technician.
Every venting system must be planned and installed for
optimum performance and safety. These Installation
Instructions are designed to help you determine venting
requirements and limitations with respect to installation.
Please read and follow these instructions carefully.
It is the responsibility of the installer to contact local
building and fire officials concerning any installation
restrictions and/or inspection requirements that may
apply. Permits may be required before commencement
of the installation.
The vent termination for side wall vent installations
should be located on a wall that is least affected by
prevailing winds. High winds may affect boiler operation
and/or degrade the exterior finish of the wall. They may
also cause recirculation of the appliance’s own flue
products. Recirculation of flue products can result in
poor combustion and inlet condensation problems.
If wind is a problem, steps must be taken to shield the
vent termination from high winds, such as building a
fence or planting shrubs. Ensure that the total equivalent
vent length is not exceeded.
Because of its sealed combustion chamber, the
Vitocrossal 300, CA3 gas-fired condensing boiler
is suitable for operation with direct vent room air
independent operation (when using air intake system).
IMPORTANT
Potential gaps between the vent/air intake pipes and
the surrounding construction which may cause air, rain
or flue gases to leak into the wall or the building, must
be sealed with approved sealant /caulking to prevent
leakage of any kind.
This PP(s) vent system is constructed from flame-retardant
plastic [polypropylene rated for a maximum temperature
of 230ºF (110ºC)].
The PP(s) venting system components must be listed
to ULC S636 / UL-1738 (contact one of the venting
suppliers below).
DO NOT mix pipe, fittings, or joining methods from
different vent system manufacturers.
The vent length requirements stated in this manual (on
page 59 for two pipe vent installations and page 61 for
single pipe installations) must be observed.
If using flexible vent or air intake pipe, reduce the max.
equivalent length allowed by 25%.
The PP(s) venting material can be extended (without
exceeding the maximum equivalent length) beyond the
outside wall of the structure, provided that the PP(s)
venting material is installed in an enclosed, insulated
and waterproof chase that is acceptable for outdoor
installation. The vent termination location must comply
with the instructions and codes stated in this manual.
IMPORTANT
Side wall vent installations must include a protective
screen.
Vent System Suppliers
Use special venting system (UL/ULC listed for Category
IV) for exhaust vent material of the Vitocrossal boilers.
Contact one of the following suppliers to order parts.
Both suppliers deliver PP(s) rigid and flexible vents
in a variety of sizes.

Use only material listed in table on page 46, entitled
“Approved venting materials”.
The remaining space surrounding a chimney liner, gas
vent, or special gas vent or plastic piping installed within
a masonry, metal or factory-built flue shall not be used
to supply combustion air to the boiler. A separate
combustion air intake pipe routed back to the boiler can
be used in the remaining space if required, the boiler
venting system is approved for zero clearance, and can
be run directly beside the combustion air intake pipe.

Venting
Vitocrossal 300 CA3 - 3.5, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 Installation/Service
Vent Requirements
Provisions for combustion and ventilation air must be
made in accordance with CAN/CSA-B149.1 or .2 Natural
Gas Installation Codes (latest edition) (for installations in
Canada) or in accordance with sections for Combustion
and Ventilation Air, of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 (latest edition) or applicable provisions of local
codes (for installations in the U.S.A.)
Follow local codes to properly isolate the vent pipe when
passing through floors, ceilings and roof.
Whenever possible, install boiler near an outside wall so
that it is easy to duct fresh air directly to the boiler area.
Refer to national codes for duct sizing. Round ducts may
be used.
The boiler must be vented and supplied with combustion
air and exhaust vents as described in this section. Ensure
the vent and combustion air supply comply with these
instructions. (See also page 47).
WARNING
Failure to provide an adequate supply of fresh
combustion air can cause poisonous flue gases to
enter living space, which can cause severe personal
injury or loss of life.
The Vitocrossal 300, CA3 boiler location should never
be under negative pressure. Exhaust fans, attic fans, or
dryer fans may cause air to be exhausted at a rate higher
than the air can enter the structure for safe combustion.
Corrective action must be taken to ensure enough air is
available. Never cover the boiler or store debris or other
materials near the boiler, or in any way block the flow of
adequate fresh combustion air to the boiler.
50
If boiler is installed in a confined space (a space with a
volume of less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu/h of gas
input for all fuel burning equipment) or building layout
is unusually tight, adequate air for combustion must be
provided by two openings: one located about 6 in. below
the ceiling, the other about 6 in. above the floor. When
communicating directly with the outside, each opening
must have a minimum free area of one square inch per
2000 Btu/h of gas input. When all combustion air is
provided by openings in doors, etc. to adjoining spaces
having adequate infiltration, each opening must have a
minimum free area of one square inch per 1000 Btu/h
of gas input, but not less than 100 in2.
You must know the free area of louvers used to cover
up the combustion and ventilation openings in closet
installations. If you do not know the free area, assume
20% for wood louvers and 60-75% free area for metal
louvers. When using louvers, the openings have to be
made larger.
For example, a free 14 in. x 6 in. (356 mm x 152 mm)
opening becomes a 14 in. x 10 in. (356 mm x 254 mm)
opening for a grill containing metal louvers.
CAUTION
Do not store chemicals containing chlorine or other
corrosive materials near the boiler, such as bleach,
cleaning solvents, detergents, acids, hair spray,
spray cans, paint thinners, paint, water softener
salt, perchloroethylene, or carbon tetra chloride.
5776 774 - 05
Combustion air supply, room air dependent application only
The Vitocrossal 300, CA3 boiler requires fresh air for safe

CSD-1 Field Testing of High Limit Switches for Vitocrossal
300, CA3 boilers – where required by law.
As per ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, section IV,
subsection HG-613 TEMPERATURE CONTROL
requirements, Vitocrossal 300, CA3 hot water boilers are
protected from over-temperature by two temperatureoperated controls. These temperature control devices
conform to Standards for Limit Controls, and are accepted
by CSA, a nationally recognized testing agency.
Each boiler is equipped with a manual reset high
temperature limit control and a temperature control that
will cut off fuel supply when the system water
temperature reaches a preset operating temperature.
VIESSMANN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES
THAT THE FOLLOWING TEST PROCEDURE MAY RESULT
IN BY OVERHEATING THE SYSTEM.
The Vitocrossal 300, CA3 boilers are equipped with 2 RTD
temperature sensors that when activated on temperature
rise (high fixed limit of 210°F (99°C) disable the burners
to operate.
The fixed high limit, when tripped, produces a fault that
will require manual reset of the boiler control.
Repair work
Note: Repairing components that fulfil a safety function
can compromise the safe operation of your system.
Replace faulty components only with original
Viessmann spare parts.

Working on the system
■ Where gas is used as the fuel, close the main gas
shut-off valve and safeguard it against unintentional
reopening.
■ Isolate the system from the power supply (e.g. at the
separate fuse or a main switch) and check that it is
de-energized.
■ Safeguard the system against reconnection.
Note: Electronic assemblies can be damaged by
electrostatic discharges. Before beginning work,
touch grounded objects, such as heating or water
pipes, to discharge static loads.

dismantling in accordance with the items beginning
from pages 79 and 80.
2. Record measurement readings in record on page 219.
Checking the Water Conditions
Water Quality
Hard water conditions (i.e. calcium carbonate) must be
avoided as it will cause deposits to accumulate on the
heat exchanger surfaces.
If in any doubt about the water quality, please have a
proper water analysis done. Check with regional chemical
suppliers for boiler water treatment or with Viessmann
Manufacturing Company Inc. directly.
Total output (MBH) Total Hardness (ppm as CaCO3)
> 1 Total 680
200
> 680 to 2050
150
> 2050
2
The pH value of the heating water should be between 8.2
and 9.5
102
The standard values assume the following:
The total volume of fill and top-up water during its
service life will not exceed three times the water content
of the heating system.
The specific system volume is less than 1.5 USG/MBH
(20 L/kW) heating output. In multiboiler systems, apply
the output of the smallest boiler.
Soften the fill and top-up water in heating systems
operating under the following conditions:
The total of alkaline earths in the fill and top-up water
exceeds the standard value.
Higher fill and top-up water volumes are expected.
The specific system volume is higher than 1.5 USG/
MBH (20 L/kW) heating output. In multiboiler systems,
apply the output of the smallest boiler.
5776 774 - 05
The lifetime of the entire heating system is influenced by
the water quality. A water treatment system will protect
against damages caused by corrosion and lime formation.

Checking Expansion Tank and System Pressure
Check proper expansion tank and system pressures
See expansion tank manufacturer’s instructions.
IMPORTANT
The diaphragm expansion tank must be able to hold the
heating water expansion volume inside the boiler, and must
be properly sized for the system.
CAUTION
Damage on boiler or other system components may
result if these recommendations are not followed.
CAUTION
Carry out all check in accordance with the expansion
tank manufacturer’s instructions. Limit pressure
fluctuations to the lowest possible differential. Cyclical
pressure fluctuations and greater pressure differentials
indicate a system fault. Immediately remedy such
faults, otherwise other heating system components
may become faulty.
This diaphragm expansion vessel reduces the frequency
and severity of pressure fluctuations; the service life
of the circulating pump is improved and therefore
the operational reliability and service life of system
components increased.
IMPORTANT
Carry out this test on a cold system.
1. Drain system or close cap valve on the diaphragm
expansion tank and reduce the pressure until the
pressure gauge indicates “0”.
2. 60°F (15.5°C) water fill pressure must equal
diaphragm expansion tank pressure.
Mixing Valve Movement and Leak Check
1. Remove motor lever from mixing valve handle.
2. Check mixing valve for ease of movement.
3. Check leak tightness of mixing valve. Replace O-ring
if there is a leakage.
5776 774 - 05
4. Engage motor lever.

Checking Air Intake in the Installation Room (visual check)
Check filter and air intake during room-air-dependent
operation.
Check the air intake outside the installation room as well
during room-air-dependent operation.
Instructing the Operator of the System
The system manufacturer must hand over the operating
instructions to the system operator and instruct him in
its operation.
This includes all accessories that have been installed
as components, such as remote controls. The system
manufacturer must also provide instruction regarding
maintenance work.
Operating and Service Documents
1. Complete customer information file and separate:
Hand over segment for system operator to system
operator.
Retain segment for heating contractor in files.
104
5776 774 - 05
2. Assemble all parts lists, operating and service
instructions in a file and deliver to the system
operator.
After installation, the installation instructions will no
longer be required and do not need to be retained.

Faults
Fault display
The fault display is activated automatically if the burner
control unit switches to a fault state. The most recent
fault will then be displayed. The fault LED is also
illuminated in case of a non-lockout shutdown or flashes
together with the fault code in case of a lockout shutdown.
Fault codes are also displayed on the boiler section service
display.
Fault memory
The ten most recent faults are saved and may be called up.
The order of scans ranges from the most recent to the
earlier fault codes. The fault memory display is terminated
automatically if no key is pressed within 20 seconds.
Note: If the burner does not start up due to a non-lockout
fault without displaying a fault code, the fault
memory may be able to indicate the cause.

Function Description
Boiler Water Temperature Control
Brief description
H The boiler water temperature is regulated by modulating
the burner.
H The set boiler water temperature is determined from
the following coding:
– Set supply temperature of the heating circuits
connected to the control unit and the heating circuits
connected via the LON BUS
– External demand
– DHW temperature target
H When the DHW tank is heated, the default set boiler
water temperature is 36°F (20 K) above the set DHW
temperature (adjustable via coding “60” in the
“DHW” group).
Emissions test function
In multi boiler systems, enable the emissions test function
on all control units.
The following functions are activated:
H Burner start
H Starting all pumps
Note: Only the heating circuit pump is switched ON
in the case of boiler section 2/boiler section 3
control.
H Mixing valve remains set to control function
Function duration < 30 min:
The burner operates at 100% output until the
temperature limiter in the burner control unit switches
off. The burner then cycles, with 100% output, around
the value at the temperature limiter.
Function duration > 30 min (continuous):
Boiler water temperature at max. set value,
e.g. 194°F (90°C).
The burner is operated in modulating mode.
This prevents excessive cycling if emissions testing
is carried out over an extended period.
Cascade Control Unit
Brief description
The supply temperature is regulated by starting or
stopping the burners or by starting/stopping individual
burner stages.
H Standalone control (see page 182)
H Sequential control (see page 182)
5776 774 - 05
H Subject to system version, a difference is made
between the condensing strategy (see page 183)
and 2 conventional boiler strategies (see pages 184
and 185).

Function Description
Vitocrossal 300 CA3 - 3.5, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 Installation/Service
Cascade Control Unit (continued)
Set supply temperature
The set supply temperature is determined from the
following coding:
H Set supply temperature of heating circuit without
mixing valve A1 (heating circuit 1) and heating circuits
with mixing valve M2 (heating circuit 2) and M3
(heating circuit 3).
H Set supply temperature of further consumers.
H DHW temperature target.
H External demands.
Upper control range limits:
Maximum system supply temperature limit
(coding “37” in the “Cascade” group).
Lower control range limits:
Minimum system supply temperature limit
(coding “36” in the “Cascade” group).

H Without and with supply temperature sensor
(see the following table).
H Without and with supply temperature sensor
H The cascade control specifies the set boiler water
temperature for all currently active boilers. Every boiler
control unit regulates to the specified set value.
H The control strategy is set automatically to
conventional boiler strategy 2, coding “3c:2” in the
“Cascade” group (see page 127).
(see the following table).
H The cascade control specifies the set boiler water
temperature for all currently active boilers. Every boiler
H Condensing strategy (see page 183)
control unit regulates to the specified set value. If the
H Conventional boiler strategy 1 (see pages 184 and 185)
boiler section 1 (condensing boiler) does not achieve
the specified set value, it will only act to control
H Conventional boiler strategy 2 (see pages 184 and 185)
the return temperature of the conventional boiler
downstream. The conventional boiler is started late
and is also shut down late.
The following control strategies are available:
With supply temperature sensor
Without supply temperature sensor
Set coding “3b:1” or “3b:3” in the “Cascade” group.
The control deviation is calculated from the set supply
temperature and the actual supply temperature to
determine the start and shutdown criteria.
Set coding “3b:0” or “3b:2” in the “Cascade” group.
To determine the start and stop criteria, the control
deviation is calculated from the set boiler water
temperature and the estimated average actual boiler
water temperature of the currently active boilers.
Only boilers with open motorized isolation valves are
taken into consideration.
Sequential control
H With supply temperature sensor.
H Set coding “3b:4” in the “Cascade” group.
H The cascade control unit regulates to the specified set
supply temperature by stipulating the output for each
individual boiler. The boiler section 1 can be operated in
modulating mode. All other boilers are operated in two
stages via a specified output (incl. modulating burners).

Control strategies
Condensing strategy
Benefit:
Optimal utilization of the condensing effect and long
burner run-times.
Set coding “3C:0“ in the “Cascade” group. It is the aim
of the condensing strategy to operate as many boilers as
possible at the lowest output level.
Starting
Shutdown
Starting criterion:
An output statement causes the boilers to start
(Coding “3d:1” in the “Cascade” group).
An additional boiler will start if the current heat demand
can be covered by the currently active boilers plus the
next boiler in the boiler sequence.
Shutdown criterion:
The boilers are shut down via a shutdown integral.
When the shutdown integral exceeds a limit set at
coding “46” in the “Cascade” group, the shutdown
criterion is met and the boiler started last will be shut
down.
5776 774 - 05
Example (coding “3C:0” in the “Cascade” group)
Two-boiler system with modulating burners:
Boiler 1: 100% rated heating output
(base load set to 33%)
Boiler 2: 100% rated heating output
(base load set to 33%)

Conventional boiler strategy 2
Benefit
The number of boilers in operation is the
lowest possible.
Set coding “3C:1“ in the “Cascade” group.
It is preferable to operate conventional
boilers at their upper output range, to reliably
prevent formation of condensate when return
temperatures are low.
An additional boiler will only be started if
the maximum output of all currently active
burners is insufficient to achieve the supply
temperature set value.
A boiler will be shut down when the
remaining boilers can achieve the required
output on their own.
Long burner run times.
Set coding “3C:2“ in the “Cascade” group
(factory set condition).
An additional boiler will only be started if
the maximum output of all currently active
burners is insufficient to achieve the supply
temperature set value.
A boiler will be shut down if the burners
were ramped down to their minimum output
because of a major negative control deviation
and the output is still too high.
Starting criterion
The boilers are started via a starting integral.
The next boiler in the boiler sequence will be
started if the value set in coding ”45” in the
“Cascade” group is exceeded.
The boilers are started via a starting integral.
The next boiler in the boiler sequence will be
started if the value set in coding ”45” in the
“Cascade” group is exceeded.
Shutdown criterion
A reduction in output causes the boilers to
shut down (Coding “3d:1“ in the “Cascade“
group). A boiler will be shut down when the
currently required output can be achieved
without the most recently started boiler.
The boilers are shut down via a shutdown
integral. When the shutdown integral exceeds
a limit set at coding “46” in the “Cascade”
group, the shutdown criterion is met and the
boiler started last will be shut down.

Heating Circuit Control Unit
Brief description
H The control unit features control circuits for one heating
circuit without mixing valve A1 (heating circuit 1) and
two heating circuits with mixing valve M2 (heating
circuit 2) and M3 (heating circuit 3).
H The set supply temperature of each boiler is determined
from the following coding:
– Outdoor temperature
– Set room temperature
– Operating mode
– Heating curve slope and shift
H The supply temperature of the heating circuit without
mixing valve corresponds to the common system supply
temperature.
H The supply temperature of the heating circuits with
mixing valve is regulated by the stepped opening or
closing of the mixing valves.
The mixing valve motor control changes the actuating
and pause times subject to the control differential
(control deviation).
Functions
The heating circuit without mixing valve is subject to
the boiler water temperature and its control range limits.
The heating circuit pump is the only actuator.
The supply temperature of the heating circuits with
mixing valve is captured by the supply temperature sensor
of the relevant heating circuit.
H Upper control limit:
Electronic maximum supply temperature limit
coding address “c6” in the “Heating circuit...” group.
H Lower control range limit:
Electronic minimum supply temperature limit
coding address “c5” in the “Heating circuit...” group.
Time program
The control unit switches over according to the time
program. In the “Heating and DHW” operating program,
the control unit switches between “Central heating with
standard room temperature” and “Central heating with
reduced room temperature”.
Every operating mode has its own set level.
4 time phases per day can be selected.
186
Outdoor temperature
A heating curve must be set for matching the control
unit to the building and the heating system.
The heating curve characteristics determine the set
boiler water temperature subject to outdoor temperature.
The control unit uses an average outdoor temperature.
This comprises the actual and the adjusted outdoor
temperature.
Room temperature
In conjunction with a remote control and room
temperature hook-up (coding “b0” in the “Heating
circuit...”) group:
Compared with the outdoor temperature, the room
temperature has a greater influence on the set boiler
water temperature (changed at coding “b2” in the
“Heating circuit...” group).
In conjunction with heating circuits with mixing valve:
For control differentials (actual value deviation) above
4°F (2 K) room temperature, the influence can be increased further (coding “b6” in the “Heating circuit...”
group):
H Quick heat-up
The set room temperature must be raised by at least
4°F (2 K) by the following measures:
– Enabling comfort mode
– Changing from central heating with reduced
temperature to central heating with standard
temperature
– Start optimization (coding “b7” in the “Heating
circuit...” group) Quick heat-up will stop when the
set room temperature has been reached.
H Quick setback
The set room temperature must be reduced by at least
4°F (2 K) by the following measures:
– Activating economy mode
– Changing from central heating with standard
temperature to central heating with reduced
temperature
– Shutdown time optimization (coding address “c1”
in the “Heating circuit...” group)
Quick setback ends when the set room temperature
has been reached.

Priority control
H With priority control: (coding address “a2:2” in the
“Heating circuit...” group):
The set supply temperature will be adjusted to 32°F
(0°C) during tank heating. The mixing valve closes
and the heating circuit pump is switched off.
H Without priority control:
The heating circuit control unit continues to operate
with the same set value.
H With modulating priority control in conjunction with
heating circuits with mixing valve:
The heating circuit pump remains switched on.
During tank heating the set supply temperature
of the heating circuit will be reduced until the set
boiler water temperature has been reached.
The set supply temperature is determined from the
following coding:
– Outdoor temperature
– Differential between the set and the actual boiler
water temperature
– Heating curve slope and shift
– Set coding “a2” in the “Heating circuit...” group
System dynamics
The mixing valve control characteristics can be influenced
at coding “c4” in the “Heating circuit...” group.
Central control
Coding “7a” in the “General” group enables you
to program central control to one heating circuit.
The operating and holiday program then applies to
all additional heating circuits of the system.
For these heating circuits, when the operating and
holiday program is enabled,“Central control” is displayed.
Any holiday programs that may have been set will be
deleted.
Party and economy modes cannot be enabled on all
control units.
Frost protection
The supply temperature is held in accordance with the
heating curve for the reduced set room temperature,
but at least at 50°F (10°C).
A variable frost limit can be set in line with coding
address “a3” in the “Heating circuit...” group.
Heating circuit pump logic – Economy circuits
The heating circuit pump is switched OFF [set supply
temperature set to 32°F (0°C)] if one of the following
criteria is met:
H The outdoor temperature selected in coding “a5”
in the “Heating circuit...” group exceeds the set value.
H The adjusted outdoor temperature exceeds the value
set in coding“a6” in the “Heating circuit...” group.
H The mixing valve has been attempting to close for more
than 12 min. (mixing valve economy function, coding
“a7” in the “Heating circuit...” group).
H The pump idle time selected in coding “a9”
in the “Heating circuit ...” group is reached.
Requirements:
– There is no risk of frost.
– Coding “b0” in the “Heating circuit...” group
must be set to 0.
Note: If, during the pump idle time, the system
is switched to heating mode or the set room
temperature is increased, the heating circuit
pump is switched ON,even if the time has
not yet elapsed.

DHW Tank Temperature Control
H The tank temperature control is a constant temperature
control function. This is achieved by starting and
stopping the DHW pump. The switching differential is
±5°F (±2.5 K).
H When the DHW tank is heated, a set supply
temperature is specified that is 36°F (20 K) higher than
the set DHW temperature (adjustable at coding
“60” in the “DHW” group).
Functions
Time program
An automatic or an individual time program may be
selected for DHW pump and the DHW recirculation pump.
Compared with the heating circuit heatup phase, DHW
heating starts 30 min earlier in automatic mode.
The individual time program enables up to 4 time
phases per day to be set for DHW pump and the DHW
recirculation pump for every day of the week.
All tank heating sequences will be completed
independently of the time program.
In conjunction with coding “7f” in the “General” group
H Detached house
Coding “7f:1”:
– Automatic mode
The heating times for heating circuit 1 are applied
to systems with two or three heating circuits.
– Individual time program
The time phases for DHW pump and the DHW
recirculation pump have the same effect on all
heating circuits.
H Apartment building
Coding “7f:0”:
– Automatic mode
For systems with two or three heating circuits,
the heating times for the respective heating circuit
will be applied.
– Individual time program
The time phases for DHW pump and the DHW
recirculation pump can be adjusted individually for
each heating circuit.

Priority control
H With priority control: (coding
“a2:2” in the “Heating circuit...” group):
The set supply temperature will be adjusted to 32°F
(0°C) during tank heating. The mixing valve closes
and the heating circuit pump is switched off.
H Without priority control:
The heating circuit control unit continues to operate
with the same set value.
H With modulating priority control in conjunction with
heating circuits with mixing valve:
The heating circuit pump remains switched on.
During tank heating the set supply temperature of the
heating circuit will be reduced until the set boiler water
temperature has been reached.
The set supply temperature is determined from the
following coding:
– Outdoor temperature
– Differential between the set and the actual boiler
water temperature
– Heating curve slope and shift
– Set coding “a2” in the “Heating circuit...” group
Frost protection
The DHW tank will be heated to 68°F (20°C) if the DHW
temperature falls below 41°F (5°C).
Forth phase heating function
(auxiliary function for DHW heating)
This function is activated by providing a second set DHW

control.
Inspect all seals; retighten or replace as necessary.
Ensure an adequate supply of combustion air and ventilation air into and out of the
mechanical room is being maintained at all times.
Ensure that nothing is obstructing the flow of combustion ventilation air, and no
chemicals, garbage, gasoline, combustible materials, flammable vapors, or liquids
are stored, not even temporarily, in the vicinity of the boiler.
Check for water on the floor from the discharge pipe of pressure relief valve or any
other pipe, pipe joint, valve, or air vent.
Test pressure relief valve and check for proper operation. See instructions attached
to pressure relief valve.
Check all operational high limits for proper operation.
Check for proper operation of the condensate neutralization system (if used).
Check the condition and fill status of the neutralization media.
Check the pH value of the flue gas condensate (min. 6.5).
Check for moisture water on external vent pipe joints and appearance of ice on the
vent pipe or chimney outlet in the winter time.
Ensure service work/test is conducted at least annually by qualified personnel,
and that any deficiencies are corrected immediately.
Test functionality of safety high limits.
Test and establish proper chemical makeup of system water.
Check flue pipe condition, chimney connection and chimney itself.
Check pressure relief valve and system pressure, and verify proper operation.
Check heating pipe joints, valves, air vents, etc. System leaks must be corrected
immediately to avoid further defects.
The cause of defect must also be determined in order to avoid further problems.
Check for proper combustion air supply and ventilation to boiler / mechanical room.
Test high limits by dialing lower settings, then switching burners on/off to verify
function. Test low water cut-off, check and verify proper function according to
manufacturer’s instructions.
Check requirements for maintenance or lubrication of the circulation pumps
according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Check for gas-tight connection of gas piping, unions, gas valve and manifold.
Check proper ignition of the burners.
Combustion test must be performed by a qualified heating technician.
Ensure functionality of low water cutoffs, including flushing of float types (if used)
during operation. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Inspect low- and/or high pressure gas switch (if used).
Inspect main burner flame and follow the instruction manual for detailed service and
maintenance guidelines.
All boilers and the boiler room must be kept free of high dust levels, high humidity,
aggressive vapors and/or chemicals containing chlorine.
Ensure proper boiler room ventilation.
