WiRiNg THE BOiLERS
• When wiring condensing and non-condensing boilers make sure that condensing boilers utilize the first stages
and non-condensing boilers will utilize the following stages. That is, if the installation had two condensing
modulating boilers and two non-condensing staging On/Off boilers, Stage A and B will be used by the condensing
boilers while C and D will be used by the non-condensing boilers.
WiRiNg ON/OFF BOiLER OUTPUTS
(A TERMinALS 5, 6), (B TERMinALS 7, 8), ...
• Each boiler output (A through D) has one Normally Open (N.O.) relay contact.
• The N.O. contacts are dry contacts only. They do not source any voltage.
• Wire the N.O. relay contacts in series with the unit’s limit circuit.
• Class 1 voltages must enter the enclosure through a different opening from any Class 2 voltage wiring.
• Note that some modulating boilers may not require the use of these outputs.

• Each stage output (A through D) has one Normally Open (N.O.) relay
contact that does not source any power.
• Wire each of the N.O. relay contacts to its respective boiler stage.
Note that on the display of the M4-CNC each staging boiler will
consist of multiple letters. The letters represent outputs that should
be wired to that boiler. The first letter should be wired to the lowest
firing stage and the next letter to the next stage and so on. See "Boiler

WiRiNg THE 4-20MA MOdULATiNg MOTORS
(A TERMinALS 13, 14), (B TERMinALS 16, 17),...
• The M4-CNC can operate up to four 4-20 mA modulating motors.
• The M4-Extension can operate up to six 4-20 mA modulating motors.
• The M4-CNC and the M4-Extension sources 24VDC excitation voltage for the 4-20mA signal.
• Wire the (-) from the modulating motor to the boiler terminal on the M4-CNC marked (GND). That is for boiler
A, the modulating (-) terminal will be 13.
• Wire the (+) from the modulating motor to the boiler terminal on the M4-CNC marked (mA). That is for boiler A,
the modulating (-) terminal will be 14.
