Field wiring

Thermostat
1. Connect the room thermostats or end switches (isolated
contact only) to room thermostat 1, 2, or 3, as shown in 
FIG. 8-3.
2. Install the thermostat on the inside wall away from
infl uences of drafts, hot or cold water pipes, lighting 
fi xtures, television, sunlight, or fi replaces.
3. Thermostat anticipator (if applicable):
 
a.
If connected directly to boiler, set for 0.1 amps.
b. If connected to relays or other devices, set to match 
 
total electrical power requirements of connected
devices. See device manufacturers’ specifi cations
and thermostat instructions for details.
Outdoor temperature sensor
1. Mount the sensor on an exterior wall, shielded from
direct sunlight or fl ow of heat or cooling from other 
sources.
2. Route sensor wires through a knockout at the rear of the
boiler (see FIG. 8-2).
3. Connect the outdoor temperature sensor (FIG. 8-3) to
the outdoor sensor terminals on the connection board to 
enable outdoor reset operation of the Knight XL. Do not 
install the outdoor sensor.
DHW (Domestic Hot Water)
thermostat
Connect storage indirect water heater (DHW) thermostat 
(FIG. 8-3) to the DHW thermostat terminals on the 
connection board. If a tank sensor is connected (see DHW 
Tank Sensor below) the tank thermostat is ignored.
DHW tank sensor
By installing a tank sensor, the SMART SYSTEM control can 
perform the tank thermostat function. The SMART SYSTEM 
control automatically detects the presence of this sensor, and 
generates a DHW call for heat when the tank temperature 
drops 6°F (3°C) below the tank set point, and fi nishes the call 
for heat when the tank temperature reaches the tank set point.
The tank sensor included with the Lochinvar Squire® indirect 
DHW tanks (TST20015) is the only sensor suitable for use 
with the SMART SYSTEM control. Connect the sensor 
leads to the Tank Sensor terminals on the low voltage 
connection board (FIG. 8-3). Consult the tank manufacturer 
for application and performance when used with any other 
indirect tank.
Louver proving switch
1. When the operation of the louvers needs to be verifi ed
before the boiler fi res, remove the jumper wire from these 
terminals and connect them to the normally open contacts 
on its proving switch (FIG. 8-3).
High gas pressure switch
1. If a switch is provided to detect excessive gas pressure,
remove the jumper wire from the terminals on the 
connection board, and then connect them to its normally 
closed contacts (FIG. 8-3).
Low gas pressure switch
1. If a switch is provided to detect low gas pressure, remove
the jumper wire from the terminals on the connection 
board and connect them to its normally open contacts 
(FIG. 8-3).
2. If both a high and low gas pressure switch is used, connect
their respective contacts in series, and connect them to the 
terminals on the connection board (FIG. 8-3).
Failure to use the correct sensor may 
result in the tank temperature being either 
above or below the set point. Failure to 
consult the manufacturer of the indirect 
tank, when the Squire is not used, may 
result in decreased performance or the 
risk of scald injury.
ƽ WARNING
If TST20015 is not compatible with the indirect tank, a 
tank thermostat can be used to control the boiler. The 
tank thermostat should be installed per the manufacturer’s 
instructions and wired to the DHW Thermostat terminals on 
the low voltage connection board (FIG. 8-3).
Variable speed system pump
If a variable speed pump is used in the primary loop, and 
a 0-10V signal is available from the pump speed control, 
this signal can be used by the SMART SYSTEM control to 
anticipate changes in the building heat load. By connecting this 
0 - 10V signal to the 0 - 10V SYS PUMP IN terminals, the boiler 
(or cascade) can modulate up and down as the primary fl ow 
increases and decreases.
Boiler pump speed output
This 0 - 10V output is available to control the speed of a variable 
speed boiler pump. The SMART SYSTEM control will vary the 
speed of this pump in order to maintain a minimum T across 
the heat exchanger, as well as prevent high limit lockouts when 
the fl ow in the primary loop is extremely low. Connect this 
output to the 0 - 10V input on the boiler pump speed control.
Rate output
This output provides a 0 - 10V signal that is proportional to the 
fi ring rate of the boiler. This may be used by a BMS system to 
monitor the actual rate of the boiler.
