Freeze Protection Burner Differential
Once the burner has started firing due to a low inlet 
temperature, the inlet temperature must increase by this 
amount before the burner turns back off. The installer can 
adjust this differential by accessing the Freeze Protection 
Burner Differential parameter. The minimum setting is 0°F, 
and the maximum is 20°F. The default setting is 5°F (2.8°C).
DHW Settings
DHW Boiler Set Point
When a DHW call for heat becomes active, the control will 
use the DHW boiler set point to determine the firing rate of 
the boiler based on the boiler outlet water temperature, or 
system temperature when DHW is programmed as a zone. 
This parameter can be changed by the installer by accessing 
the DHW Boiler Set point parameter. The temperature range 
of this parameter is 68°F (20°C) to 180°F (82°C). The default 
value is 180°F (82°C).
DHW Tank Set Point
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 below the tank set point differential (Tank Set point 
Differential parameter), and finishes the call for heat when 
the tank temperature reaches tank set point + offset. This 
parameter can be changed by the installer by accessing the 
DHW Tank Set point parameter. The temperature range of 
this parameter tank minimum set point to tank maximum set 
point. The default value is 125°F (52°C).
Tank Set Point Differential
When a tank sensor is installed, the tank temperature must 
drop this amount below the tank set point (DHW Tank 
Set point parameter) before the boiler turns back on. The 
installer can adjust this setting by accessing the Tank Set point 
Differential parameter. The minimum setting is 0° (0°C), and 
the maximum is 40°F (22°C). The default setting is 6
°F (3°C).
DHW Boiler Offset
This parameter reflects the degrees above DHW boiler set 
point the temperature has to go before the boiler will shut off. 
The range is 0°F (0°C) to 40°F (22°C). The default setting is 
10°F (6°C).
DHW Boiler Differential
This parameter reflects the degrees below DHW boiler set 
point the temperature has to go before the boiler turns back 
on. The range is 0°F (0°C) to 60°F (33°C). The default setting 
is 20°F (13°C).
SH/DHW Switching Time
When a boiler has a space heating demand and it receives 
a DHW demand, it will immediately switch to the DHW 
demand and start a timer. Once the timer has expired, the 
boiler will switch back to the space heating demand and start 
another timer. 
Once this timer expires, it will switch back to the DHW demand. 
The installer can adjust the length of time the boiler will service 
the space heating demand by accessing SH/DHW Switching 
Time parameter. The minimum setting is 0 minutes and the 
maximum setting is 50 minutes. The default time is 30 minutes. 
DHW/SH Switching Time
When a boiler has a DHW demand and it receives a space 
heating demand, the SMART SYSTEM control will start a 
timer. Once the timer expires, it will stop the DHW demand 
and service the space heating demand. The installer can adjust 
the length of time the boiler will service the DHW demand 
by accessing the DHW/SW Switching Time parameter. The 
minimum setting is 0 minutes and the maximum setting is 50 
minutes. The default setting is 30 minutes.
Tank Minimum Set Point
This setting controls the minimum tank set point for the tank 
temperature. The installer can adjust this by accessing the Tank 
Minimum Set point parameter. The minimum setting is 60°F 
(16°C) and the maximum setting is the maximum tank set point 
(Tank Maximum Set point parameter). The default value is 60° 
(16°C).
Tank Maximum Set Point
This setting controls the maximum tank set point for the tank 
temperature. The installer can adjust this by accessing the Tank 
Maximum Set point parameter. The minimum setting is the 
minimum tank set point (Tank Minimum Set point parameter) 
and the maximum setting is 190°F (88°C). The default value is 
140°F (60°C).
DHW Type
This parameter determines whether the Knight XL boiler treats 
the indirect DHW tank as a separate load, or as a zone on the 
primary loop. When programmed as a separate load, the boiler 
will turn on the DHW pump and then turn off the boiler pump 
when an indirect DHW demand begins. When programmed as 
a zone, the boiler will turn on the DHW pump, leave the boiler 
pump on and change the system set point to the DHW boiler set 
point (DHW Boiler Set point parameter). 
This setting may be changed by the installer by accessing the 
DHW Type parameter. The choices are NORMAL and ZONE. 
The default setting is NORMAL.
Fan Speed Limiting for Indirect DHW Tank
This parameter determines the maximum fan speed (and 
therefore the maximum rate) to be used when heating an 
indirect DHW tank when the DHW Type is set to Normal. 
This setting may be used when the tank is unable to accept all 
of the BTU’s available from the boiler. This parameter may be 
adjusted by the installer by accessing the Fan Speed Limiting 
for Indirect DHW Tank parameter. The default value is the 
maximum fan speed for that model.
