Boiler pump capacity in single zone systems
When installing the boiler in a single zone application
without primary/secondary piping, it is critical not to
overload the pump. Use the Greenstar Heating or Combi
Boiler in this setup only in low pressure baseboard
applications. Radiant floor, panel radiator, or multi-zone
applications require primary/secondary piping. Do not
install zone valves with this system.
Recommended maximum: 70' (21 m) of 3/4" baseboard
at a 20°F delta T and a flow rate of 4.0 gpm. This allows
sufficient reserves for the necessary supply and return
piping plus elbows.
Alternatively determine the system pressure drop on a case
by case basis to verify that the boiler pump is capable of
delivering the required flow rate. Table 2 provides as an
example the pressure drop of 100’ of 3/4” baseboard and
its relevant heat output.

Add to that the pressure drop of supply and return piping
plus elbows and other devices like check valves.
Use the pump curves on the following page to verify that
the pump is capable of delivering the needed flow rate for
the given pressure drop of the system.
In order to save as much energy as possible and
keep water circulation noises to a minimum, select
the lowest possible pump speed.
If the working pressure cannot be met, use primary/
secondary piping.

single zone system
Summary:
Single boiler supplying one baseboard heating zone
equipped with FW200 outdoor reset controller with built-in
room sensor in the living space. This system is using the
boiler pump for zone water circulation.
This design can only be used with a single loop baseboard
system that has a low pressure drop. Radiant floors, panel
radiator, or multi zone systems require primary-secondary
piping. Do not install zone valves with this system.

piping.
In detail:
The FW200 is an outdoor temperature based controller
with room temperature influence. The controller adjusts
the heating curve (boiler supply temperature) according to
outdoor temperature. When the FW200 is wall mounted,
it also uses room temperature to adjust the heating curve
and modify boiler supply temperature.

Single combi-boiler supplying one baseboard heating
zone equipped with FW200 outdoor reset controller with
built-in room sensor in the living space. DHW generation
directly off the boiler through the tankless heat exchanger.
This system is using the boiler pump for zone water circu-
lation.
Install an adequately sized Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) on
the DHW outlet of the combi boiler.
To reduce the risk of scalding it is recommended to install
a DHW tempering valve.
The “combi” or combination boiler is a high efficiency
central heating boiler and water heater combined within
one compact unit. Water is heated on demand directly
from the water main eliminating the need for a hot water
storage tank.
The Greenstar combi boiler is equipped with an inter-
nal 3.17 gal (12 liter) expansion vessel. The installation
manual provides information on how to determine if it is
of sufficient capacity for the application or if an additional
expansion vessel is needed.
This design can only be used with a single loop baseboard
system that has a low pressure drop. Radiant floors, panel
radiator, or multi zone systems require primary-secondary
piping. Do not install zone valves with this system.
The pump will run in constant circulation while in space
heating mode except during a call for DHW or when in

tems. The solar pump will run whenever the collectors are
16°F (9°C) warmer than the bottom of the solar tank.
It is recommended to double the volume of the solar
thermal DHW tank compared to an equivalent conventional
indirect fired DHW tank. This allows sufficient backup
volume ("comfort zone") maintained by the boiler without
sacrificing capacity for solar harvesting.

2.5 System 5: Greenstar Heating Boiler in a
single zone system
Summary:
Single boiler with primary/secondary piping configuration
supplying one heating zone. Outdoor reset with FW200
controller with built-in room sensor mounted in the living
space for room feedback.
Use this design where System 1 cannot be used due to too
great a system pressure drop. Primary/secondary piping is
also required for radiant floor and panel radiator applica-
tions.
Primary/secondary piping isolates the system flow from
the boiler flow and prevents the system from influencing
boiler performance.
In detail:
The FW200 is an outdoor temperature based controller
with room temperature influence. The controller adjusts
the heating curve (boiler supply temperature) according
to outdoor temperature. When the FW200 is wall mounted
as a room sensor, it uses room temperature to adjust the
heating curve and modify boiler supply temperature ac-
cordingly.
FW200 provides warm weather shutdown.
For temperature sensitive radiant floor applications, install
a thermostatic tempering valve for overheat protection.
Required components:
Greenstar heating boiler.
FW200 controller in the room.
Primary/secondary piping and system pump.
Thermostatic mixing valve (optional - overheat
protection for temperature sensitive floors).

2.6 System 6: Greenstar Combi Boiler in a
single zone system
Summary:
Additional instructions:
See manufacturer’s installation and operating instructions.
Single combi-boiler supplying one heating zone. Outdoor
reset with FW200 controller with built-in room sensor
mounted in the living space for room feedback. DHW
generation directly off the boiler through the tankless heat
exchanger. This system is using the boiler pump for zone
water circulation.
Install an adequately sized Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) on
the DHW outlet of the combi boiler.
To reduce the risk of scalding it is recommended to install
a DHW tempering valve.
The “combi” or combination boiler is a high efficiency
central heating boiler and water heater combined within
one compact unit. Water is heated on demand directly
from the water main eliminating the need for a hot water
storage tank.
The Greenstar combi boiler is equipped with an internal
3.17 gal (12 liter) expansion vessel. The installation
manual provides information on how to determine if it is
of sufficient capacity for the application or if an additional
expansion vessel is needed.

single zone system with DHW tank loading
Summary:
Single boiler with primary/secondary piping configuration
supplying one heating zone. Outdoor reset with FW200
controller with built-in room sensor mounted in the living
space for room feedback.
Use this design where System 3 cannot be used due to
too great a system pressure drop. Primary/secondary
piping is also required for radiant floor and panel radiator
applications.

satisfied prior.
DHW is generated by the boiler loading the indirect fired
DHW tank following the DHW program.
During DHW day mode the boiler will charge the DHW
tank when a demand is sensed by the DHW tank tem-
perature sensor. When DHW is satisfied, or after one
hour, the boiler will return to space heating mode.
Initial setup:
Program the 3rd party room thermostats according to the
manufacturer's instructions. It is recommended to set up a
day and night heating program with reduced temperatures
at night and when the zone is unoccupied.
Boiler and FW200 programming:
See the installation instructions for description of buttons
and displays, and for details on setup and programming.
Power up the boiler.
When commissioning for the first time, set the display-
language, date and time.
Upon first commissioning the automatic system
configuration starts. Wait 60 seconds and follow the
instructions displayed. You have the option of using
the factory settings or entering custom parameters to
better match the individual requirements.
Set the boiler for permanent day mode by switching
the dial on the FW200 to

2.11 System 11: Greenstar Heating Boiler
with zone pumps, relay panel, room
thermostats and DHW tank loading
Summary:
Required components:
Single boiler with primary/secondary piping configuration
supplying three heating zones controlled by individual
zone thermostats and a pump relay panel. Outdoor reset
with FW200 controller mounted on the boiler. 3rd party
room thermostats used to communicate heat demands
from the zones.
Greenstar heating boiler.
FW200 controller in the boiler.
Primary/secondary piping and system pump.
Thermostatic mixing valve (optional - overheat
protection for temperature sensitive floors).
This system does not feature constant circulation and the
zone circulators runs only when a heat demand is com-
municated by the room thermostat and shut off when the
heat demand goes away. It is similar to Systems 8 and 10
except that a pump relay panel is being used.
3rd party room thermostats with dry contact closure
in each zone.
Zone pump relay panel, e.g. TACO SR503 or similar.
Indirect fired DHW tank.
Primary/secondary piping isolates the system flow from
the boiler flow and prevents the system from influencing
boiler performance.
Tank loading pump of sufficient capacity.
This system works particularly well for installations with
other heat sources, e.g. wood stoves or significant solar
gain. Compared to systems with the FW200 installed in the
room that will throttle down the boiler output when the
room reaches its set point, in this setup the thermostat
will shut the boiler off.
Additional instructions:
See manufacturer’s installation and operating instructions.
This system can also be used with a combi boiler (see
system 6) instead of the indirect fired DHW tank.
In detail:
This system runs on pure outdoor reset without room
feedback on the heating curve. The FW200 installed in the
boiler adjusts the heating curve (boiler supply tempera-
ture) according to outdoor temperature. The 3rd party
room thermostats turn the boiler and the zone pumps on
and off based on the conditions in the living space.
FW200 provides warm weather shutdown.
For temperature sensitive radiant floor applications install
a thermostatic tempering valve for overheat protection.

Additional information
In this multi zone system the FW200 is installed in the
boiler for pure outdoor reset without room influence on
the heating curve.
With outdoor reset the boiler will provide the water
temperature according to the heating curve. There is no
room influence on the heating curve in this system.
The boiler will always attempt to run at its highest
efficiency in low fire for as long as necessary.
Install suitable 3rd party thermostats in each zone in
a location that best represents its conditions. Avoid
locations exposed to direct or indirect sunlight, heat
sources, draft, etc. that can lead to malfunctioning.
The boiler will shut down when the target temperature
is reached followed by a 3 minute post purge by
the pump unless the 3rd party room thermostat is
satisfied prior.
DHW is generated by the boiler loading the indirect fired
DHW tank following the DHW program. This system can
also be realized with a combi boiler eliminating the DHW
tank if the capacity is sufficient for the DHW load.
During DHW day mode the boiler will charge the DHW
tank when a demand is sensed by the DHW tank tem-
perature sensor. When DHW is satisfied, or after one
hour, the boiler will return to space heating mode.
Initial setup:
