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 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
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.
Eye: Irrigate immediately.
Breathing: Fresh air.

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.

General Operation
How the boiler operates
User
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 boiler 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
only 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 boiler 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.

Service Manual
1 Service
(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. 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.

Viewable and changeable control parameters
Before changing parameters, note the
settings so that the unit can be returned to
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 the SH Night Setback On Times parameter. The DHW
start triggers in the DHW Night Setback On Times parameter.
This screen shows the start trigger number, the day of the week,
and the time of day.
General
Time and Date
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. This parameter must be accessed to set
the clock.
The internal clock does not adjust for
Daylight Savings Time and therefore,
will require a manual adjustment.
NOTICE
Please note that the brackets ([]) denote
screen status.
NOTICE
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 NAVIGATION
dial and the day of the week will start to flash.
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.
3. After setting the hour, the installer can press the
NAVIGATION dial 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 General menu, or press the LEFT SELECT
[EXIT] key to return to the General menu without saving the
changes.
Software Version
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.
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 the Temperature Units parameter.
The default is °F.
Space Heating (SH) and Domestic Hot Water (DHW)
Night Setback Offset
Once the unit’s internal clock has been set correctly, the
Night Setback feature can be used to program a lower set Space Heating (SH) and Domestic Hot Water (DHW)
point 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 (SH1, 2, and 3 Set
point parameters), or the calculated outdoor reset set point (if
lower). For DHW, it subtracts the DHW night setback offset
from the tank set point (Tank Set point parameter).
Night Setback Off Times
The corresponding space heating night setback stop triggers are
set by accessing the SH Night Setback Off Times parameter. The
stop triggers for the DHW night setback feature can be adjusted
by accessing the DHW Night Setback Off Times parameter. The
adjustment procedure for these parameters is identical to the
space heating start triggers described above.
Night Setback Override
NOTE: The DHW night setback will not work without a tank

Service Mode Delay
This is the time in which the display remains illuminated.
The range is 10 seconds to 10 minutes. The default is 3
minutes.
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 any 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
the Service Mode Delay parameter. The time range of this
parameter is 1 to 10 minutes. The default value is 10 minutes.

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 Freeze Protection
Pump On parameter. The minimum setting is -3°F (-19°C),
and the maximum setting is 45°F (7.2°C). The default setting
is 45°F (7.2°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 Minimum SH
Set point parameter. The temperature range of this parameter
is 32°F (0°C) to the space heating maximum set point. The
default value is 32°F (21°C).
Never put the Freeze Protection Pump
on a setting lower than the Freeze
Protection Burner On setting.
NOTICE
Space Heating (SH) Maximum Set Point
Freeze Protection Burner On
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 Maximum SH Set point parameter.
The temperature range of this parameter is the space heating
minimum set point to 180°F (82°C). The default value is
180°F (82°C).
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 the Freeze
Protection Burner On parameter. The minimum setting is
-3°F (-19°C), and the maximum setting is 45°F (7.2°C). The
default setting is 37°F (2.8°C).
Never put the Freeze Protection Pump
NOTICE
SH1 - SH3 Offset Set Point
on a setting lower than the Freeze
Protection Burner On setting.
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 SH1, 2 and 3 Offset Set point parameters. 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 the Freeze Protection
Burner Differential parameter. The minimum setting is 0°F,
and the maximum is 20°F. The default setting is 5°F (2.8°C).

DHW Settings
(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 the DHW/SW Switching Time parameter. The
minimum setting is 0 minutes and the maximum setting is 50
minutes. The default setting is 30 minutes.
DHW Boiler Set Point
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, or
system temperature when DHW is programmed as a zone.
This parameter can be changed by the installer by accessing
the DHW Boiler Set point parameter. The temperature range
of this parameter is 68°F (20°C) to 180°F (82°C). The default
value is 180°F (82°C).
Tank Minimum Set Point
This setting controls the minimum tank set point for the tank
temperature. The installer can adjust this by accessing the Tank
Minimum Set point parameter. The minimum setting is 60°F
(16°C) and the maximum setting is the maximum tank set point
(Tank Maximum Set point parameter). The default value is 60°
(16°C).
DHW Tank Set Point
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 (Tank Set point
Differential parameter), and finishes the call for heat when
the tank temperature reaches tank set point + offset. This
parameter can be changed by the installer by accessing the
DHW Tank Set point parameter. The temperature range of
this parameter tank minimum set point to tank maximum set
point. The default value is 125°F (52°C).
Tank Maximum Set Point
This setting controls the maximum tank set point for the tank
temperature. The installer can adjust this by accessing the Tank
Maximum Set point parameter. The minimum setting is the
minimum tank set point (Tank Minimum Set point parameter)
and the maximum setting is 190°F (88°C). The default value is
140°F (60°C).
Tank Set Point Differential
When a tank sensor is installed, the tank temperature must
drop this amount below the tank set point (DHW Tank
Set point parameter) before the boiler turns back on. The
installer can adjust this setting by accessing the Tank Set point
Differential parameter. The minimum setting is 0° (0°C), and
the maximum is 40°F (22°C). The default setting is 6°F (3°C).
DHW Type
This parameter determines whether the Knight boiler 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 change the system set point to the DHW boiler set
point (DHW Boiler Set point parameter).
DHW Boiler 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 40°F (22°C). The default setting is
10°F (6°C).
This setting may be changed by the installer by accessing the
DHW Type parameter. The choices are NORMAL and ZONE.
The default setting is NORMAL.
DHW Boiler Differential
This parameter reflects the degrees below DHW boiler set
point the temperature has to go before the boiler turns back
on. The range is 0°F (0°C) to 60°F (33°C). The default setting
is 20°F (13°C).
Fan Speed Limiting for Indirect DHW Tank
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 the Fan
Speed Limiting for Indirect DHW Tank parameter. 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
SH/DHW Switching Time parameter. The minimum setting
is 0 minutes and the maximum setting is 50 minutes. The
default time is 30 minutes.

Set Point (1 - 3) at Low Outdoor Temperature
Outdoor Reset
When the outdoor air temperature drops to the Outdoor
(1 - 3) Low parameters, the calculated set point will be at
this setting (FIG. 1-1). If the outdoor air temperature drops
further, the set point will continue to increase above this
setting. However, if SH1, SH2, and SH3 are set lower, the
water temperature will be limited by these set points instead.
These parameters can be changed by the installer by accessing
the Set point 1 at Low Outdoor Temp 1, Set point 2 at Low
Outdoor Temp 2 and Set point 3 at Low Outdoor Temp 3
parameters. The temperature range of this parameter is 68°F
(20°C) to 180°F (82°C). The default value is 180°C (82°C).
The option of controlling up to three (3) different outdoor
resets for low outdoor temperatures is available.
Outdoor (1 - 3) Low
When the outdoor air temperature drops to this point, the
water temperature will be at the Set point 1 at Low Outdoor
Temp 1, Set point 2 at Low Outdoor Temp 2 and Set point
3 at Low Outdoor Temp 3 parameters (FIG. 1-1). If the
outdoor air temperature drops further, the set point will
continue to increase above this setting. This parameter can
be changed by the installer by accessing the Outdoor (1-3)
Low parameter. The temperature range of this parameter is
-39°F (-39°C) to high outdoor temperature set point. The
default value is 25°F (-4°C).
Set Point (1 - 3) at High Outdoor Temperature
When the outdoor air temperature rises to or above Outdoor
(1 - 3) High parameters, the calculated set point will be at this
setting (FIG. 1-1). These parameters can be changed by the
installer by accessing the Set point 1 at High Outdoor Temp 1,
Set point 2 at High Outdoor Temp 2 and Set point 3 at High
Outdoor Temp 3 parameters. The temperature range of this
parameter is 68°F (20°C) to 190°F (88°C). The default value
is 70°F (21°C).
Outdoor (1 - 3) High
When the outdoor air temperature rises to or above this
point, the water temperature will be at the Set point 1 at High
Outdoor Temp 1, Set point 2 at High Outdoor Temp 2 and
Set point 3 at High Outdoor Temp 3 parameters (FIG. 1-1).
This parameter can be changed by the installer by accessing
the Outdoor (1-3) High parameter. The temperature range
of this parameter is low outdoor temperature set point to
104°F (40°C). The default value is 70°F (21°C).
Outdoor Air Shutdown (SH1 - SH3)
When the outdoor temperature rises above this point, the
control will block all SH demands (DHW demands will still
be active). These parameters can be changed by the installer
by accessing the Outdoor Air Shutdown SH1, SH2, and SH3
parameters. The temperature range of this parameter is 32°F

Outdoor Air Shutdown Differential (SH1 - SH3)
Anti-Cycling
The outdoor air shutdown differential parameter is the
number of degrees below Outdoor Air Shutdown SH1, SH2,
and SH3 parameters 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
the Outdoor Air Shutdown Differential SH1, SH2, and SH3
parameters The temperature range of this parameter is 0°F
(0°C) to 54°F (30°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 the Anti-Cycling Override Differential
parameter. This parameter can be changed by the installer by
accessing the Anti-Cycling Time parameter. The time range for
this parameter is 1 minute 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 or
below the calculated set point by the number of degrees in
this parameter. These parameters can be changed by the
installer by accessing the Shift Reset Curve SH1, SH2, and
SH3 parameters. The temperature range of this parameter
is -17°F (-10°C) to 18°F (10°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 inlet
water temperature drops too much. The control will use the
inlet water temperature the boiler was at when it shut off as
the starting point. If the inlet 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 the Anti-Cycling Override Differential
parameter. 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 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 SH1, SH2,
SH3 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 the Boost Temperature
parameter. The temperature range of this parameter is 0°F
(0°C) to 25°F (14°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. The default setting is disabled.
Boost Time
The boost time parameter sets the amount of time that must
elapse with a SH demand before the water temperature
calculated set point will be increased. This parameter can
be changed by the installer by accessing the Boost Time
parameter. The time range for this parameter is 0 minute
to 50 minutes. The default value is 0 minutes.

Ramp Settings
Control modes
Controlling Sensor
Please note that the brackets ([]) denote
screen status.
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 the Controlling Sensor
parameter. 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 6th limit will also limit the rate for
the rest of that heat demand. The installer can adjust the
firing limits and time delays by accessing the Ramp Settings
parameter. 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
When controlling the boiler through the 0 - 10V BMS input or
through ModBus, the boiler can be enabled one of two ways.
With the BMS Thermostat Input parameter set to ACTIVE,
the boiler will be enabled by closing the Heat/Loop Demand 1
input. When 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
When finished, the installer can press the RIGHT SELECT The set point or modulation of the boiler may be controlled
[SAVE] key to store the new settings, or the LEFT SELECT through the 0 - 10V BMS input or through ModBus. When the

of 0 - 10V BMS control), or the 0 - 10V input value received
through ModBus. The default value is INACTIVE.

(continued)
ModBus
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 = 30%), 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 30%) / 2 =
45% in our example).
When BMS is set to ACTIVE (see BMS Active / Inactive)
and the boiler is being controlled through ModBus, set
ModBus parameter 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
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 the
ModBus T/O parameter. The adjustment range of this
parameter is 5 seconds to 2 minutes. The default value is
10 seconds.
Maximum Cascade 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 the
Maximum Cascade Set Point parameter. The temperature
range of this parameter is 32° (0°C) to 190°F (88°C). 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 the
Cascade Address parameter. The outdoor air (if used) and
system supply sensor must be connected to the Leader
boiler. The default address is 1.
Cascade Offset
If installing the boilers in an existing system, the new
boilers should be programmed as the Leader and/or the
higher number addresses.
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 the
Cascade Offset parameter. The temperature range of this
parameter is 0° to 20°F (11°C) 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
as 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 will modulate the last two (2) boilers. This
provides for smooth 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. 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 20%, it will turn the last boiler off and raise the
rate of the next-to-last boiler to 40%, thus eliminating the
sudden drop in total output of the Cascade.
Cascade 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 the Cascade Differential parameter. The
temperature range of this parameter is 0°F to 60°F (33°C) 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 the
Minimum On/Off Time parameter. The minimum setting is 0
seconds and the maximum setting is 10 minutes. The default
is 30 seconds.
Minimum Next On Time
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.
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 the Minimum
Next On Time parameter. The minimum setting is 0 minutes
and the maximum setting is 10 minutes. The default is 60
seconds.

Volts at Minimum
Boiler Pump Anti-Seize Delay
When programmed for BMS control through the 0 - 10V BMS
input or through ModBus, the Volts at Minimum parameter
should be set to the minimum voltage signal sent to the
SMART SYSTEM control. The range of this parameter is 0.0V
to the Volts at Maximum value. The default setting is 2.0V.
If the boiler pump does not run for 24 hours, it will be
turned on briefly to prevent it from seizing. The length of
time it runs is determined by the Boiler Pump Anti-Seize
Delay parameter. The range of this setting is 0 seconds to 50
minutes. The default setting is 20 seconds.
Boiler Pump Minimum Voltage
Volts at Maximum
The speed of the boiler pump can be controlled by the
SMART SYSTEM control in order to maintain a minimum
T through the heat exchanger. Thus, as the firing rate
decreases, the speed of the boiler pump can decrease as well.
The SMART SYSTEM control outputs a 0 - 10V signal to the
boiler pump to control its speed. The Boiler Pump Minimum
Voltage parameter determines the minimum voltage given to
the boiler pump, thereby setting its minimum speed. The
range of this setting is 2.5V to 10V. The default setting is
3.5V.
When programmed for BMS control through the 0 - 10V BMS
input or through ModBus, the Volts at Maximum parameter
should be set to the maximum voltage signal sent to the
SMART SYSTEM control. The range of this parameter is the
Volts at Minimum value to 10.0V. The default value is 10.0V.
Rate at Minimum Volts
When programmed for BMS control through the 0 - 10V BMS
input or through ModBus and the BMS Type is programmed as
POWER, the modulation percentage represented by the Volts
at Minimum parameter is set by the Rate at Minimum Volts
parameter. The minimum value is 0% and the maximum is
the Rate at Maximum Volts setting. The default value is 20%.
System Pump Type
The system pump can be programmed to operate in response
to any of the Room Thermostat inputs, or to run continuously
until the boiler goes into Outdoor Shutdown. To program
the system pump to operate only with a space heating call
for heat, set the System Pump Type parameter to CFH. To
program the system pump to run continuously until outdoor
shutdown starts, set the System Pump Type parameter to
WWSD. The default setting is CFH.
Rate at Maximum Volts
When programmed for BMS control through the 0 - 10V BMS
input or through ModBus and the BMS Type is programmed as

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).
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

Certain naturally occurring
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.
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.
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 Boiler
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 Boiler Installation and Operation Manual before
proceeding further.

8. Once the combustion analysis is complete, test the safety
shutoff device by turning the manual shutoff switch to
the OFF position and ensuring that the boiler shuts
down and registers an alarm. Turn the manual shutoff
switch to the ON position, reset the control, and return
to Service Mode.
4. Place the boiler into the active position by pressing the
RIGHT SELECT [ON] key (see page 7).
5. Locate the pinhole button below the RESET button on
the display board (see page 7). Insert a thin wire (such
as a paper clip) into the hole and press the button once
and hold for 5 seconds to place the boiler into Service
Mode. In Service Mode the boiler will fire at ignition
speed and will then modulate up to full fire.
9. Turn the main power off to the boiler and replace the flue
temperature sensor into the flue pipe connection.

If adjustment of the gas valve is deemed necessary, use the
following procedure:
Locate the throttle adjustment screw on the side of the
venturi valve (FIG. 3-2). Using a screwdriver, turn the screw
a 1/4 turn counterclockwise to increase CO2 levels or a 1/4
turn clockwise to decrease CO2 levels. After performing
one adjustment on the valve, follow the Combustion
Analysis Procedure on page 46 of this manual to measure the
combustion.
If combustion is still not within the specified range, repeat
the procedure. This procedure SHOULD NOT be performed
more than four (4) times. If after four (4) adjustments and
the combustion is still not within the specified range, revisit
the possible causes in Table 3-6 or replace the gas valve.
