• In Cooling, the S8 will sequence stages and when the system temperature is above the set point. In addition, the system relay
will energize when the outdoor temperature is at or above the Outdoor Cutoff setting.
• No Return Temperature monitoring or DHW options will be available in cooling applications.
DHW PIPING (AVAILABLE WITH HEATING ONLY)
Parallel, Primary/Secondary
Default: Parallel
Button: MENU/
• When Parallel is selected, the S8 will offer a DHW Priority Timer. The DHW Priority
will only take place during heating periods.
• The Parallel option will allow the DHW Pump relay to energize while de-energizing the
System relay when there is a DHW call during heating. However, during Summer, only
the DHW Pump relay will energize on a DHW call.

Parallel
Primary/Secondary
BACK SAVE
• Selecting the Primary/Secondary option will energize the System relay with the DHW Pump relay whenever there is a call for
DHW even during the Summer or when outdoor temperature is above the Outdoor Cutoff.
IMPORTANT
A DHW call can be initiated by either a dry contact or using a Laars Sensor (CA002400 or
equivalent) for immersion in a 3/8ID well (CA002500 or equivalent). The use of a sensor will allow
the adjustment of DHW Set Point and DHW Differential.

• If Yes is selected, the S8 will energize the Comb. Air relay whenever there is a call for a boiler and will use the Prove input to
check on the status of the Combustion Air Damper. In a failure situation, the message "Wait for Comb. Prove"
will display when there is a call for a boiler stage until Prove is Shorted.
• If Prove fails after boiler stages where energized, the stages will de-energize and the message "Comb. Prove
Failure" will display until situation is rectified.
• If No is selected, the Prove input will be used to check System status instead of the Combustion Air Damper.
