The upper left of the display will show boiler condition
(prepurge, etc.) as the boiler begins its cycle. After the boiler
begins firing, the screen will show RUN % as above.

8.
After the ADD BOILER DELAY time has elapsed, the next
boiler will fire. The MASTER boiler display will show the
START and STOP times. The START time counts down
on the display. When the next boiler starts, a 2 will shown
in the BLRS FIRING list. If this doesn't happen, the water
temperature may have entered the HEAT BAND, so no ad-
ditional heat is needed.
9.
Watch the temperature response as boilers are added. The
HeatNet control will attempt to bring the controlled tem-
perature to the setpoint by modulating boilers to meet the
demand.
10.
If temperature tends to overshoot too much, adjust the
ADD BOILER DELAY, STOP BOILER DELAY, and
MODULATE DELAY settings in the ADVANCED SET-
UP menu to adapt behavior to the system.
11.
Member boiler displays will show RUN % in the upper left
of the display.
The AA terminals are the high fire override. If
closed on a MEMBER boiler, the boiler runs
independently of the MASTER, because AA takes
priority. If AA is closed on the MASTER boiler, the
HeatNet network shuts down, and only the master
boiler fires (at high fire). If using a diverter valve
for a DHW tank, it is recommended that you use
a MEMBER boiler, activated with its AA terminals.
This way, the HeatNet and heating loop will still be
under control.
