The IQ Boiler Control stores two boiler supply

temperature setpoints in its memory; one setpoint

is for the High Limit Setting and the second is for

the Operating Setpoint.

APPENDIX H – IQ CONTROL SySTEM

IQ Control System overview
The “IQ Control System” consists of an IQ Boiler

Control and an IQ Option Panel with optional “plug

in” cards:

• Fully integrates both factory and field

installed components, simplifying installation

and troubleshooting.

• Efficiently operates the entire boiler system

to save energy.

IQ Boiler Control:

The heart of Burnham’s IQ Control System is the

IQ Boiler Control. The IQ Boiler Control replaces

the traditional separate ignition control, primary

boiler aquastat, as well as the fan and circulator

relays.

IQ option Panel:

The IQ Option Panel works together with the IQ

Boiler Control to provide an easy and convenient

means to “plug-in” additional functionality to a

boiler system.

The IQ Option Panel is a standard component

provided along with the IQ Boiler Control. The

IQ Option Panel functions as a “motherboard”

to accept up to three (3) IQ Option Cards and

provides the necessary mechanical connections

(with no screws required), along with the power

and interconnection wiring into the IQ Boiler

System. Only wiring from field-installed sensors

is required. The IQ Option Panel includes a

dedicated digital readout that provides option card

status information, diagnostics and setup functions

when necessary.

• Ensures adequate heat and supply of

domestic hot water.

• UL / CSA Listed or Recognized and tested

as part of a complete system.

Communicate with other EnviraCom

enabled components to provide a complete

system solution to maximize comfort and

energy efficiency.

When the optional Outdoor Air Reset Card is

installed in the IQ Option Panel, the Operating

Setpoint temperature is automatically adjusted

according to the outdoor temperature. For

example, as the outdoor temperature increases

the Operating Setpoint temperature is reduced

from the High Limit Setting to save energy

while improving home comfort. By better

matching boiler heat supply to actual home

heat demand, room air temperatures are more

closely maintained. In addition, when there is

a domestic hot water (DWH) heat request, the

Operating Setpoint temperature is automatically

adjusted to a DHW Setpoint to satisfy the DWH

heating requirements. When the Outdoor

Air Reset Card is not installed the Operating

Setpoint equals High Limit Setting.
