HOW THE OUTDOOR SENSOR WORKS
OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE RESET
The outdoor reset feature monitors outdoor temperature to continuously adjust the boiler water to the minimum
temperature required to satisfy the heat demand. The feature is activated automatically when the sensor is wired
to the OR and C spade connects on the Fuel Smart HydroStat. When connected, Outdoor Reset overrides the
Thermal Targeting temperature reset method which is built into the Fuel Smart HydroStat. The display will toggle
between boiler temperature (8 seconds) and outdoor temperature (2 seconds). If the sensor becomes damaged or
disconnected, the control will automatically revert back to the Thermal Targeting reset method. The display will no
longer toggle outdoor temperature.
RESET RATIO
The Fuel Smart HydroStat controlʼs Outdoor Reset feature uses a reset ratio method to control the boiler
temperature. The reset ratio determines how much the boiler temperature is adjusted for changes in outdoor
temperature. A reset ratio of 2.0 means that for each 1 degree increase in outdoor temperature, the boiler
temperature will decrease 2 degrees. Conversely, for each 1 degree drop in outdoor temperature, the boiler
temperature will increase 2 degrees. The control adds 10 degrees to the calculated reset temperature and
provides a 20 degree differential for burner operation. So, if the control calculates a reset temperature of 150°F, it
will set a target temperature of 160°F. It will then allow the burner to fire up to 160°F and draw down to
140°F before re-firing. This operation will maintain the desired average temperature of 150°F. You can check the
current target temperature at any time, by pressing the Test/Settings button in 4 short intervals.
THERMAL BOOST
To insure that the heating system always satisfies a call for heat, the Fuel Smart HydroStat control is equipped
with a thermal boost feature. If the thermostat is not satisfied thirty minutes after the boiler reaches the reset
temperature, the control will boost the reset temperature by 10 degrees. It will continue to boost at 30 minute
intervals until the call is satisfied. Once the call is satisfied, the control reverts to normal operation, utilizing the
calculated reset temperature.
