Handling ceramic fiber materials  
REMOVAL OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER LINING  
The combustion chamber insulation in this appliance contains ceramic fiber material. Ceramic fibers can  
be converted to cristobalite in very high temperature applications. The International Agency for Research  
on Cancer (IARC) has concluded, “Crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from  
occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).” Normal operating temperatures in this  
appliance are below the level to convert ceramic fibers to cristobalite. Abnormal operating conditions would  
have to be created to convert the ceramic fibers in this appliance to cristobalite.  
ƽ WARNING  
The ceramic fiber material used in this appliance is an irritant; when handling or replacing the ceramic  
materials it is advisable that the installer follow these safety guidelines.  
ꢀ
Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin and eyes.  
• Use NIOSH certified dust respirator (N95). This type of respirator is based on the OSHA  
requirements for cristobalite at the time this document was written. Other types of respirators may  
be needed depending on the job site conditions. Current NIOSH recommendations can be found on  
the NIOSH website at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html. NIOSH approved respirators,  
manufacturers, and phone numbers are also listed on this website.  
• Wear long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing, gloves, and eye protection.  
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Apply enough water to the combustion chamber lining to prevent airborne dust.  
Remove the combustion chamber lining from the appliance and place it in a plastic bag for disposal.  
Wash potentially contaminated clothes separately from other clothing. Rinse clothes washer  
thoroughly.  
NIOSH stated First Aid.

Service Manual  
Please read before proceeding  
When servicing boiler –  
• To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply  
before performing maintenance.  
• To avoid severe burns, allow boiler to cool before  
performing maintenance.  
Boiler operation –  
• Do not block flow of combustion or ventilation air to  
the boiler.  
• Should overheating occur or gas supply fail to shut off,  
do not turn off or disconnect electrical supply to  
circulator. Instead, shut off the gas supply at a location  
external to the appliance.  
• Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water.  
The possible damage to a flooded appliance can be  
extensive and present numerous safety hazards. Any  
appliance that has been under water must be replaced.  
Boiler water –  
• Thoroughly flush the system (without boiler  
connected) to remove sediment. The high-efficiency  
heat exchanger can be damaged by build-up or  
corrosion due to sediment.  
• Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing  
compounds in the boiler system. Gaskets and seals in  
the system may be damaged. This can result in  
substantial property damage.  
• Do not use “homemade cures” or “boiler patent  
medicines”. Serious damage to the boiler, personnel,  
and/or property may result.  
• Continual fresh make-up water will reduce boiler life.  
Mineral buildup in the heat exchanger reduces heat  
transfer, overheats the stainless steel heat exchanger, and  
causes failure. Addition of oxygen carried in by makeup  
water can cause internal corrosion. Leaks in boiler  
piping must be repaired at once to prevent the  
introduction of makeup water.  
Freeze protection fluids –  
• NEVER use automotive antifreeze. Use only inhibited  
propylene glycol solutions which are specifically  
formulated for hydronic systems. Ethylene glycol is  
toxic and can attack gaskets and seals used in hydronic  
systems.

How the boiler operates  
The user can adjust space heating and tank target  
temperatures by pressing the NAVIGATION dial when  
“ꢀSETPOINTS” is flashing at the bottom of the display. The  
date and time, and the temperature units can also be changed.  
The Knight XL uses an advanced stainless steel heat  
exchanger and an electronic control module that allows  
fully condensing operation. The blower pulls in gas and air  
and pushes flue products out of the boiler through the heat  
exchanger and flue piping. The control module regulates  
blower speed to control boiler firing rate. The gas valve  
senses the amount of air flowing into the boiler and allows  
only the right amount of gas to flow.  
Installer  
Most parameters are available only to the installer, accessible  
by entering the installer password (5309).  
How the control module operates  
Saving parameters (reference the Parameter Table -  
Table 1-4 on pages 15 - 18 of this manual)  
The Knight XL control module receives input from boiler  
sensors. The control module activates and controls the  
blower and gas valve to regulate heat input and switches  
boiler, DHW and system pumps on and off as needed. The  
user/installer programs the module to meet system needs  
by adjusting control parameters. These parameters set  
operating temperatures and boiler operating modes. Boiler  
operation can be based on boiler outlet water temperature,  
boiler return water temperature or system supply  
temperature, depending on the parameter setting.  
Please note that the brackets ([]) denote  
screen status.  
NOTICE  
To save parameters and exit programming:  
Press the RIGHT SELECT [SAVE] key and then press the  
RIGHT SELECT [HOME] key.  
To enter a parameter and continue programming:  
Press the RIGHT SELECT [SAVE] key 1 time to return to the  
parameter listings; press again to return to the menu listings.  
Remember to press the RIGHT SELECT [HOME] key when  
finished programming in order to save the changes made.  
Sequence of operation  
Table 1-1 shows control module normal sequences of  
operation for space heating and DHW operation. The  
combined operation sequence is for a typical application,  
programmed to provide DHW priority.

(continued)  
Table 1-1 Sequence of Operation  
OPERATION  
DISPLAY  
1. Upon a call for heat, the gas pressure switch(es) must be closed.  
2. Once the gas pressure switch(es) are closed, the control turns  
on the appropriate pumps (system and boiler pumps for space  
heating,  
DHW  
pump  
for  
DHW).  
The flow switch and/or LWCO must close.  
3. The control turns on power to the louver relay.  
The louver proving switch, air pressure switch, and blocked  
drain switch must close.  
4. The control starts a 15 second prepurge cycle by initiating the  
blower.  
5. The control starts a 4 second trial for ignition by firing the spark  
electrode and opening the gas valve.  
6. If flame is not detected within 1 second after the sparking ends,  
the control will perform a 10 second post-purge, then start  
another prepurge cycle and try to light the burner again. On the  
501 and larger models, the control will lock out if this second  
attempt also fails. On the 400 model, the control will perform a  
total of 4 attempts before locking out.  
7. If flame is detected, it holds the firing rate steady for 5 seconds  
to let the flame stabilize, then it begins to modulate the firing rate  
based on a set point or some other command (such as a 0-10V  
BMS signal).

Table 1-1 (continued from previous page) Sequence of Operation  
OPERATION  
DISPLAY  
8. If the space heating call for heat is active, and the tank  
thermostat or sensor starts a DHW call for heat, the boiler will  
switch to the DHW mode. If programmed for normal DHW  
operation (not as a zone), the DHW pump will turn on first, then  
the boiler pump will turn off  
2
seconds later.  
This will divert the boiler’s outlet water from the heating system  
and  
send  
it  
to  
the  
tank  
coil  
instead.  
The control will then modulate to maintain the outlet  
temperature to the DHW boiler set point.  
9. If the boiler is not part of a Cascade, and both the space heating  
and DHW calls for heat remain active long enough, the boiler will  
switch back and forth between the two heating modes until one  
of them is satisfied.  
10. Once both calls for heat are satisfied, the control will turn off the  
burner. The blower will continue to run during a 10 second  
postpurge.  
11. Any pumps that are running will continue to run for their  
respective pump delay times before turning off, unless  
programmed  
to  
remain  
on  
continuously.  
A 60 second anti-cycle period will start, which will delay any  
new call for heat until it times out.  
12. In Standby, ready to start a new cycle.

its original operating parameters.  
Space Heating (SH) and Domestic Hot Water (DHW)  
Night Setback On Times  
CAUTION  
This is the time in which the SH Night Setback Offset becomes  
active. There are 7 start times and 7 stop times each for the  
space heating and DHW night setback features. Both may be set  
to any time within a 7-day week. These settings are referred to  
as triggers. Multiple start or stop triggers may be set within a  
single day, if desired. When a start trigger and a stop trigger are  
set to the same time, the stop trigger has priority. The installer  
may adjust the space heating night setback start triggers by  
accessing parameter A5. The DHW start triggers in parameter  
A8. This screen shows the start trigger number, the day of the  
week, and the time of day.  
A: General  
Date and Time  
The control uses an internal clock for the night setback  
feature and for logging of events. For these features to work  
correctly, the clock must be set when the boiler is first  
installed or anytime the boiler has been powered off for more  
than four (4) hours. To set the clock, parameter A1 must be  
accessed.  
The internal clock does not adjust for

screen status.  
Software Version  
1. When the screen is first accessed, start trigger number 1  
is shown. If a different trigger number is desired, the  
installer can rotate the NAVIGATION dial until the desired  
trigger number is displayed. Once the desired trigger  
number is selected, the installer can press the SCROLL  
knob and the day of the week will start to flash.  
The software version allows the user to view the software  
version in use by the control. This software controls the  
operation of the boiler. When a new software version  
becomes available, the existing control can be replaced with a  
new control to update the software.  
2. The installer can adjust the day of the week to the one he  
wishes to set. Once the day is set, the installer can press the  
NAVIGATION dial and the hour will begin to flash.  
Software version is read only.  
Temperature units (°C / °F)  
The control can be configured to display temperature in  
either °C or °F. This parameter can be changed by the user or  
the installer by accessing parameter A3. The default is °F.  
3. After setting the hour, the installer can press the SCROLL  
knob and the minutes will flash. Once all settings have been  
made, the installer can press the RIGHT SELECT [SAVE]  
key. The installer can now select a different trigger and  
adjust the settings for that trigger.  
4. Once all adjustments are made, the installer can press the  
RIGHT SELECT [SAVE] key to save all of the new settings  
and return to the A menu, or press the LEFT SELECT  
[EXIT] key to return to the A menu without saving the  
changes.  
Space Heating (SH) and Domestic Hot Water (DHW)  
Night Setback Offset  
The unit’s internal clock can be set up to run at a lower set  
point temperature during unoccupied times. Both the space  
heating and DHW can be programmed for night setback.  
When in night setback, the control reduces the set point by a  
fixed amount. For space heating, it subtracts the space  
heating night setback offset from each of the SH user set  
points (parameters B1, B6, and B9), or the calculated outdoor  
reset set point (if lower). For DHW, it subtracts the DHW  
night setback offset from the tank set point (parameter E2).  
NOTE: The DHW night setback will not work without a tank  
sensor installed.  
Space Heating (SH) and Domestic Hot Water (DHW)  
Night Setback Off Times  
The corresponding space heating night setback stop triggers are  
set by accessing parameter A6. The stop triggers for the DHW  
night setback feature can be adjusted by accessing parameter A9.  
The adjustment procedure for these parameters is identical to  
the space heating start triggers described above.  
The installer may adjust the space heating night setback offset  
by accessing A4 and the DHW night setback offset by  
accessing parameter A7. The minimum setting is 0°F (0°C)  
and the maximum setting is 90°F (50°C).

Service Mode Delay  
Space Heating (SH1, SH2, SH3) Set Point  
By pressing the pin button on the front of the display for five  
(5) seconds, the control will be placed in Service Mode. This  
will override all other heat demands. The Service Mode  
allows the installer to set the unit to either maximum firing  
rate or minimum firing rate for the purpose of combustion  
analysis. The delay sets the length of time the boiler will stay  
in the Service Mode if no keys have been pressed before going  
back to its original state. This parameter can only be changed  
by the installer by accessing parameter D1. The time range of  
this parameter is 0 to 30 minutes. The default value is 20  
minutes.  
Mixing valves are required for the  
protection of any low temperature loops.  
CAUTION  
There are three (3) individual user set points for better zone  
control. These are listed as SH1 Set Point through SH3 Set  
Point. If multiple set points are calling for heat the highest set  
point has priority. The range is 32°F (0°C) to 190°F (88°C).  
The default is 125°F (52°C).  
Space Heating (SH) Minimum Set Point  
The SH minimum set point sets the minimum water  
temperature set point that can be used for space heating  
operation. The user or installer will not be able to program  
the control with a lower SH set point. This parameter can  
only be changed by the installer by accessing parameter B2.  
The temperature range of this parameter is 32°F (0°C) to  
190°F (88°C). The default value is 70°F (21°C).  
Freeze Protection Pump On  
The SMART SYSTEM control will turn on the boiler and  
system pump outputs whenever the inlet temperature drops  
below this setting. This is done to prevent the water in the  
heat exchanger from freezing. Certain low-temperature  
applications (such as snow melt) can operate at temperatures  
around freezing, so this setting needs to be lowered in these  
cases. The installer can adjust the temperature at which the  
pump outputs are turned on by accessing parameter D2. The  
minimum setting is -4°F (-20°C), and the maximum setting is  
45°F (7.2°C). The default setting is 45°F (7.2°C).  
Space Heating (SH) Maximum Set Point  
The SH maximum set point sets the maximum water  
temperature set point that can be used for space heating. The  
user or installer will not be able to program the control with  
a higher SH set point. This parameter can only be changed by  
the installer by accessing parameter B3. The temperature  
range of this parameter is 32°F (0°C) to 190°F (88°C). The  
default value is 185°F (85°C).  
Freeze Protection Burner On  
If running the pumps does not prevent the inlet temperature  
from falling closer to freezing, the SMART SYSTEM control  
will fire the burner at low fire. The installer can adjust the  
temperature at which the burner fires by adjusting parameter  
D3. The minimum setting is -4°F (-20°C), and the maximum  
setting is 45°F (7.2°C). The default setting is 37°F (2.8°C).  
SH1 - SH3 Offset Set Point  
The SH offset sets how many degrees above set point the  
temperature has to go before the boiler will shut off. This  
parameter can only be changed by the installer by accessing  
parameters B4, B7 and B10. The temperature range of these  
parameters is 0°F to 20°F. The default value is 10°F.  
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 parameter D4. The  
minimum setting is 0°F, and the maximum is 20°F. The  
default setting is 5°F (2.8°C).  
SH1 - SH3 Differential Set Point  
The SH differential sets how many degrees below the offset  
the temperature has to drop before the boiler turns back on.  
This parameter can only be changed by the installer by  
accessing parameters B5, B8 and B11. The range is 0°F to  
60°F. The default is 20°F.

E: DHW Settings  
DHW Boiler Set Point  
(continued)  
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 parameter E7. The minimum setting is 0 minutes and  
the maximum setting is 200 minutes. The default setting is 30  
minutes.  
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.  
This parameter can be changed by the installer by accessing  
parameter E1. The temperature range of this parameter is  
60°F (16°C) to 190°F (88°C). The default value is 180°F  
(82°C).  
Tank Minimum Set Point  
DHW Tank Set Point  
This setting controls the minimum user set point for the tank  
temperature. The installer can adjust this by accessing  
parameter E8. The minimum setting is 60°F (16°C) and the  
maximum setting is the maximum tank set point (parameter  
E9).  
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 (parameter E3),  
and finishes the call for heat when the tank temperature  
reaches tank set point. This parameter can be changed by the  
installer by accessing parameter E2. The temperature range of  
this parameter is 68°F (20°C) to 190°F (88°C). The default  
value is 125°F (52°C).  
Tank Maximum Set Point  
This setting controls the maximum user set point for the tank  
temperature. The installer can adjust this by accessing  
parameter E9. The minimum setting is the minimum tank set  
point (parameter E8) and the maximum setting is 185°F (85°C).  
Tank Set Point Differential  
DHW Type  
When a tank sensor is installed, the tank temperature must  
drop this amount below the tank set point (parameter E2)  
before the heater will turn on. The installer can adjust this  
setting by accessing parameter E3. The minimum setting is 0°  
(0°C), and the maximum is 40°F (22°C). The default setting  
is 6°F (3°C).  
This parameter determines whether the Knight XL 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 raise the system set point to the DHW boiler set  
point (parameter E1), if it is higher than the current SH set  
point.  
Boiler Set Point 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 20°F (13°C). The default setting is  
10°F (6°C).  
This setting may be changed by the installer by accessing  
parameter E10. The choices are NORMAL and ZONE. The  
default setting is NORMAL.  
Boiler Set Point Differential  
Fan Speed Limiting for Indirect DHW Tank  
This parameter reflects the degrees below DHW boiler offset  
the temperature has to go before the boiler shuts off. The  
range is 0°F (0°C) to 60°F (33°C). The default setting is 20°F  
(13°C).  
This parameter determines the maximum fan speed (and  
therefore the maximum rate) to be used when heating an  
indirect DHW tank. 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  
parameter E11. The default value is the maximum fan speed for  
that model.  
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  
parameter E6. The minimum setting is 0 minutes and the  
maximum setting is 200 minutes. The default time is 30  
minutes.

(-4°C).  
High Outdoor Temperature  
Outdoor Air Shutdown (SH1 - SH3)  
When the outdoor air temperature rises to or above this  
point, the water temperature will be at parameters F4, F9

Outdoor Air Shutdown Differential (SH1 - SH3)  
G: Anti-Cycling  
The outdoor air shutdown differential parameter is the  
number of degrees below parameters F5, F10 and F15 the  
outdoor air temperature must go before the boiler will  
respond to a SH demand. These parameters can be  
changed by the installer by accessing parameters F6, F11  
and F16. The temperature range of this parameter is 0°F  
(0°C) to 90°F (50°C). The default value is 10°F (6°C).  
Anti-Cycling Time  
Once a SH demand has been satisfied, a set amount of time must  
elapse before the control will respond to a new SH demand. The  
control will block the new heat demand and anti-cycling will be  
shown in the display until the time has elapsed or the water  
temperature drops below parameter G2. This parameter can be  
changed by the installer by accessing parameter G1. The time  
range for this parameter is 0 minutes to 10 minutes. The default  
value is 1 minute.  
Shift Reset Curve (SH1 - SH3)  
There is a shift reset curve for each outdoor reset. The shift  
reset curve parameter shifts the actual set point above the  
calculated set point the number of degrees in this  
parameter. These parameters can be changed by the  
installer by accessing parameter F7, F12 and F17. The  
temperature range of this parameter is -17°F (-27°C) to  
18°F (-8°C). The default value is 0°F (0°C). This feature  
will be active if this parameter is set to anything other than  
0°F (0°C).  
Anti-Cycling Override Differential  
The control will bypass the anti-cycling time if the water  
temperature drops too quickly. The control will use the water  
temperature the boiler was at when it shut off as the starting  
point. If the temperature drops below the temperature  
parameter the control will abort anti-cycling and allow the  
boiler to fire. This parameter can be changed by the installer by  
accessing parameter G2. The temperature range of this  
parameter is 0°F (0°C) to 54°F (30°C). The default value is 10°F  
(6°C).  
Boost Temperature  
If a SH demand lasts longer than the programmed time  
delay setting (F19) and there have been no DHW demands,  
the control will increase the water temperature set point by  
the amount in this parameter. If the SH demand continues  
through another time period, the set point will be increased  
again. This will continue until either the SH demand ends,  
a maximum of 20 increases has occurred, or the maximum  
set point has been reached. Once the SH demand has been  
satisfied the set point will revert back to its calculated  
setting. The boost temperature can be changed by the  
installer by accessing parameter F18. The temperature  
range of this parameter is 0°F (0°C) to 25°F (-4°C). The  
default value is 0°F (0°C). This feature will be active if this  
parameter is set to anything other than 0°F (0°C).  
Ramp Delay (Enable / Disable)  
This parameter allows the installer to enable or disable the SH  
ramp delay by accessing parameter G4.  
Boost Time  
The boost time parameter sets the amount of time that  
must elapse with a SH demand before the water  
temperature set point will be increased. This parameter  
can be changed by the installer by accessing parameter F19.  
The time range for this parameter is 0 minute to 50  
minutes. The default value is 0 minutes.

SH Ramp Delay  
H: Control modes  
Please note that the brackets ([])  
denote screen status.  
Controlling Sensor  
NOTICE  
The SH controlling sensor parameter selects the sensor the  
control will use to regulate the boiler firing rate. This parameter  
is adjustable by the installer by accessing parameter H1. The  
sensor selections are as follows: The outlet sensor regulates the  
firing rate based on the outlet water temperature of the boiler  
and the inlet sensor regulates the firing rate based on the inlet  
water temperature of the boiler. If the outlet sensor is selected,  
and the optional system supply sensor is connected, the control  
will regulate the firing rate based on the system supply sensor  
temperature. The default sensor is the Outlet Sensor.  
The SMART SYSTEM control can be programmed to limit  
the firing rate for a fixed period of time at the start of a  
space heating demand. There are six (6) possible limits,  
each with their own time delay. The first limit applies as  
soon as the burner starts. Once its time delay expires, the  
second limit is applied and its timer begins. The control  
steps through these limits until the 6th (sixth) limit expires.  
Note, however, that the rate can be held to less than 100% if  
so desired. The installer can adjust the firing limits and  
time delays by accessing parameter G4. Once this  
parameter is selected, the screen will show the step number,  
the time delay for that step and the limit value  
corresponding with that step. If the installer wishes to  
adjust one of the values in that step, he can press the  
NAVIGATION dial until the value he wishes to change is  
flashing. The installer can then rotate the NAVIGATION  
dial to adjust that value. If the installer presses the RIGHT  
SELECT [SAVE] key while the limit value is flashing, the  
step value will flash again. The installer can then select the  
next step and adjust the delay and limit values  
corresponding with that step.  
BMS Thermostat Input (Active / Inactive)  
When controlling the boiler through the 0 - 10V BMS input or  
through ModBus, the boiler can be enabled one of two ways.  
With parameter H2 set to ACTIVE, the boiler will enabled by  
closing the Room Thermostat 1 input. With parameter H2 set  
to INACTIVE, the boiler will be enabled by the voltage level on  
the 0 - 10V input (in the case of 0 - 10V BMS control), or the  
0 - 10V input value received through ModBus. The default  
value is INACTIVE.  
BMS (Active / Inactive)  
The set point or modulation of the boiler may be controlled  
through the 0 - 10V BMS input or through Modbus. When  
parameter H3 is set to INACTIVE, the 0 - 10V input will be  
ignored. When set to ACTIVE, the set point or modulation will  
be controlled by the voltage on the 0 - 10V input (in the case of  
0 - 10V BMS control), or the 0 - 10V input value received  
through ModBus. The default value is INACTIVE.  
When finished, the installer can press the RIGHT SELECT  
[SAVE] key to store the new settings, or the LEFT SELECT  
[EXIT] key to return to the G parameter list without saving  
the changes. The delay value can be set between 0 minutes  
and 120 minutes. The limit value can be set between 0%  
and 100%.

(continued)  
As the calculated load increases further and both boilers ramp  
up to 90%, it lowers the rate of the first two (2) boilers to 60%  
and brings the next boiler on at 60%. The three (3) boilers  
then modulate together. As the calculated load decreases, the  
boilers will reach a lower threshold (default = 35%), at which  
time the last boiler (the third in our example) will turn off and  
the Cascade will increase the rates of the remaining boilers to  
provide the equivalent total output as before ((3 x 35%) / 2 =  
52.5% in our example).  
Modbus (Active / Inactive)  
When BMS is set to ACTIVE (see BMS Active / Inactive)  
and the boiler is being controlled through Modbus, set  
parameter H4 to ACTIVE. Otherwise, set the Modbus  
parameter to INACTIVE. Note that the boiler can still be  
monitored by ModBus with this parameter set to  
INACTIVE. The default value is INACTIVE.  
Modbus T/O (Timeout)  
The amount of time the unit controls will wait to receive a  
communication string from the BMS controller before  
reverting back to its own internal parameters. This  
parameter is adjustable by the installer by accessing  
parameter H5. The default value is 10 seconds.  
Maximum Cascade Outlet Set Point  
This parameter determines the set point used by the individual  
boilers in a Cascade. When a boiler is commanded to fire by the  
Leader boiler, it will attempt to achieve this temperature at its  
outlet. The Leader boiler will limit the modulation of the last  
boiler to fire in order to hold the temperature at the system  
supply sensor to the user set point. If any of the boiler outlet  
temperatures reach the maximum cascade set point, the boiler  
will then modulate down on its own in order to keep its outlet  
temperature within the maximum cascade set point.  
Therefore, this parameter can be used to limit the outlet  
temperatures of all the boilers in a Cascade. Note that this  
parameter does not apply when the boiler is heating an indirect  
DHW tank. This parameter is adjustable by the installer by  
accessing parameter H8. The default maximum cascade set  
point is 185°F (85°C).  
Cascade Address  
The boiler designated as the Leader needs to be  
programmed with address 0. All the Member boilers  
require addresses from 1 to 7, and the addresses must be  
different for each Member. The addresses can be in any  
order, regardless of the order in which the units are wired  
together. This parameter is adjustable by the installer by  
accessing parameter H6. The outdoor air (if used) and  
system supply sensor must be connected to the Leader  
boiler. The default address is 1.  
If installing the boilers in an existing system, the new boilers  
should be programmed as the Leader and/or the higher  
number addresses.  
Cascade Offset  
This parameter determines how much the temperature must go  
above set point before the lead boiler will turn off. This  
parameter can be adjusted by the installer by accessing  
parameter H9. The default value is 10°F (6°C).  
Cascade Type (L/L / EFF)  
There are two (2) options for the way a Cascade divides the  
load between its heaters. The first is Lead/Lag, designated  
at L/L in the menu. This method is used when it is desired  
to have the least amount of total flow through the boilers.  
This method works much like the current Cascade, except  
it will modulate the last two (2) boilers, instead of just the  
last boiler. This change provides for smoother transitions  
when a boiler turns on or off. When the last boiler reaches  
100% and the calculated load is still increasing, it will start  
the next boiler at 20% and reduce the previous boiler to  
80%, thus eliminating the sudden jump in total output of  
the Cascade. Therefore, the dead-zone we had in the  
original Cascade is no longer necessary. When the  
calculated load is decreasing and the last boiler gets down  
to 20% fire, it will hold it there and start lowering the firing  
rate on the next-to-last boiler. When the next-to-last boiler  
reaches 35%, it will turn the last boiler off and raise the rate  
of the next-to-last boiler to 55%, thus eliminating the  
sudden drop in total output of the Cascade.  
Cascade Off-On Differential  
This parameter determines how much the temperature must go  
below the turn off temperature (Set point + Offset) before the  
lead boiler turns on. This parameter can be adjusted by the  
installer by accessing parameter H10. The default value is 20°F  
(11°C).  
Minimum On/Off Time  
In order to prevent units in a Cascade from short cycling, this  
parameter defines the minimum ON and OFF time for each  
unit. The installer can adjust this time by accessing parameter  
H11. The minimum setting is 0 seconds and the maximum  
setting is 10 minutes. The default is 30 seconds.  
Minimum Next On Time  
In order to reduce the risk of temperature overshoot with a  
Cascade, this parameter defines the minimum time delay from  
starting one unit until the next unit may be started. The  
installer can adjust this time delay by accessing parameter H12.  
The minimum setting is 0 minutes and the maximum setting is  
10 minutes. The default is 60 seconds.  
The other Cascade divider method is Efficiency  
Optimization, designated as EFF in the menu. This method  
is used, as the name implies, when it is desired to have the  
most efficient system. When the first boiler reaches a  
certain rate (default = 90%), it lowers its rate to 45% and  
turns on the next boiler at 45%. The two (2) boilers then  
modulate at the same rate.

Service Manual  
2 Maintenance  
Safety relief valves should be re-inspected  
AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS,  
by a licensed plumbing contractor or  
authorized inspection agency, to ensure  
that the product has not been affected by  
corrosive water conditions and to ensure  
that the valve and discharge line have not  
been altered or tampered with illegally.  
Certain naturally occurring conditions  
may corrode the valve or its components  
over time, rendering the valve inoperative.  
Such conditions are not detectable unless  
the valve and its components are  
physically removed and inspected. This  
inspection must only be conducted by a  
plumbing contractor or authorized  
inspection agency – not by the owner.  
Failure to re-inspect the boiler relief valve  
as directed could result in unsafe pressure  
buildup, which can result in severe  
personal injury, death, or substantial  
property damage.  
Flue vent system and air piping  
ƽ WARNING  
1. Visually inspect the entire flue gas venting system and air  
piping for blockage, deterioration or leakage. Repair any  
joints that show signs of leakage. Verify that air inlet pipe  
is connected and properly sealed.  
2. Verify that boiler vent discharge and air intake are clean  
and free of obstructions.  
Failure to inspect for the above conditions  
and have them repaired can result in  
severe personal injury or death.  
ƽ WARNING  
Check water system  
1. Verify all system components are correctly installed and  
operational.  
2. Check the cold fill pressure for the system. Verify it is  
correct (must be a minimum of 12 psi (82.7 kPa)).  
3. Watch the system pressure as the boiler heats up (during  
testing) to ensure pressure does not rise too high.  
Excessive pressure rise indicates expansion tank sizing or  
performance problem.  
Following installation, the valve lever  
must be operated AT LEAST ONCE A  
YEAR to ensure that waterways are clear.  
Certain naturally occurring mineral  
deposits may adhere to the valve,  
rendering it inoperative. When manually  
operating the lever, water will discharge  
and precautions must be taken to avoid  
contact with hot water and to avoid water  
damage. Before operating lever, check to  
see that a discharge line is connected to  
this valve directing the flow of hot water  
from the valve to a proper place of  
disposal. Otherwise severe personal injury  
may result. If no water flows, valve is  
inoperative. Shut down the boiler until a  
new relief valve has been installed.  
ƽ WARNING  
4. Inspect automatic air vents and air separators. Remove  
air vent caps and briefly press push valve to flush vent.  
Replace caps. Make sure vents do not leak. Replace any  
leaking vents.  
Check expansion tank  
1. Expansion tanks provide space for water to move in and  
out as the heating system water expands due to  
temperature increase or contracts as the water cools.  
Tanks may be open, closed or diaphragm or bladder type.  
See Section 6 - Hydronic Piping of the Knight XL  
Installation and Operation Manual for suggested best  
location of expansion tanks and air eliminators.  
2. After following the above warning directions, if the relief  
valve weeps or will not seat properly, replace the relief  
valve. Ensure that the reason for relief valve weeping is  
the valve and not over-pressurization of the system due to  
expansion tank waterlogging or undersizing.  
Check boiler relief valve  
1. Inspect the relief valve and lift the lever to verify flow.  
Before operating any relief valve, ensure that it is piped  
with its discharge in a safe area to avoid severe scald  
potential. Read Section 6 - Hydronic Piping of the  
Knight XL Installation and Operation Manual before  
proceeding further.

Checking temperature sensors  
The boiler temperature sensors (inlet water, outlet water, system water, flue, and outdoor air) are all resistance type devices. The  
following tables show the correct values for the sensors at various temperatures. Use an ohmmeter to read the resistance of the  
sensor at a known temperature. If the resistance of the sensor does not closely match its corresponding table, replace the sensor  
It is important to note that the flue and outlet water sensors have two temperature sensing devices in one housing. These devices  
are designated as S1a/S1b, outlet sensor and S3a/S3b, flue sensor. Please reference the wiring diagram in the Knight XL  
Installation and Operation Manual for correct terminal location.

sensor to prevent flue gas spillage into the  
room. Failure to comply could result in  
severe personal injury, death, or  
substantial property damage.  
6. Remove the flue temperature sensor. Insert the probe  
from a combustion analyzer into the hole left by the  
removal of the flue temperature sensor.  
7. Once the boiler has modulated up to full fire, measure the  
combustion. The values should be in the range listed in  
Table 3-6 above. The CO levels should be less than  
150 ppm for a properly installed unit.  
If the combustion is not within the specified range,  
reference the chart below for possible causes and  
corrective actions.
