Table 1 – Manifold Pipe Sizes in Inches NOTE: The above pipe sizes are based on 20oF Delta and maximum water velocity between 5 – 6 ft/s
Piping Figure Notes:
NOTE: In piping applications utilizing a single zone, it is recommended that the installer use flow / check valves with weighted seats at or near the appliance to prevent gravity circulation.
NOTICE
Figures illustrate the basic plumbing concept of a cascade installation.
Primary / Secondary is required to provide adequate flow for the secondary
circuits.
CAUTION
A maximum of eight (8) models may be installed in a cascade system. Installing
more than the maximum amount of boilers in a cascade system will result in
system problems, property damage, and premature boiler failure. Such problems
ARE NOT covered by product warranty.
On Boiler Only Heating Installation Unless a boiler is connected to an
Upstream IWH, cap the DHW fitting as indicated in the figures and disconnect
the electrical connection of the 3-way valve motor while the boiler is
operating in central heating mode. This will lock the valve motor in central
heating mode and ensure freeze protection operates properly. Failure to
disconnect the valve may disable boiler freeze protection and result in
property damage.
In mixed temperature applications, a mixing valve is required for the
protection of low temperature loops.
WARNING
The piping will not support the weight of the circulators. Refer to the
circulator manufacturer’s instructions to properly support the circulator.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
NOTES: 1. These drawings are meant to show system piping concept only.
Installer is responsible for all equipment and detailing required by local
codes. 2. Primary / Secondary Loop: All closely spaced tees shall be within 4
pipe diameters center to center spacing. 3. A minimum of 6 pipe diameters of
straight pipe shall be installed upstream and downstream of all closely spaced
tees. 4. The minimum individual boiler pipe size of DHW piping should be ¾”
diameter and CH piping should be 1″ in diameter. 5. Circulators are shown with
isolation flanges. The alternative is standard flanges with full port ball
valves. Purge valves can be used with circulator
flanges as an alternative. 6. Piping shown is Primary/Secondary. 7. Install a
minimum of 12 diameters of straight pipe upstream of all circulators. 8. Unit
is equipped with built-in primary pump. This pump is sized to ensure proper
flow rate through the boiler heat exchanger and related piping
provided the piping is done correctly. 9. IWH Applications – a mixing valve is
recommended if the DHW temperature is set above 119oF.

Figure 3 – Disconnect the WiFi PCB on each Follower Boiler
NOTE: Start with all boilers powered OFF and with no wires connected to each boiler’s BUS connection.
1. Disconnect WiFi PCBs – Permanently disconnect the WiFi PCB on each
Follower boiler. Only the Master boiler can be connected to WiFi. 2. Establish
the Cascade Master – Connect power to the boiler chosen as the Master. Enter
the Technical Menu and set parameter 0.4.6 =
b-MAS. Connect the System Sensor at “SYS” of the Master boiler with the SYS
connector. See Part 3 – Cascade Wiring. The System Sensor and SYS connector
are included in this kit. 3. Establish Followers – Connect power to the boiler
chosen as Follower #1. Enter Technical Menu and set parameter 0.4.6 = b-FL1.
Repeat for remaining Follower boilers, taking care to set a unique value for
each Follower, e.g. “b-FL2″ through b-FL7”. NOTE: Each Follower must have a
unique address. Giving boilers the same address will result in a Configuration
Conflict (CONFL) error code. 4. Establish Communication – DISCONNECT POWER TO
ALL BOILERS. Daisy-chain (connect in parallel) the BUS terminal of all boilers
with the BUS connectors included in this kit. Take care to maintain the
correct polarity of “B” and “T” terminals. Connect power to all boilers.
Program the Cascade System (Master Boiler): The following parameters must be
configured at the boiler configured as the Master (0.4.6 = b-MAS). NOTE: Set
parameter 0.4.6 prior to adjusting other settings using the Establishing

C. Technical Menu – Cascade Master Menu Structure The technical menu levels
and parameter selection options for boilers configured as Master and Followers
are different than those configured as standalone boilers. The differences are
as follows:
Master Boiler Retains the technical menu levels available in a standalone
boiler while adding menu level 25 for parameters specific to Cascade
Management. NOTE: Some parameters normally accessed via menu levels 2 and 8
for a single boiler are now accessed via the Cascade Management menu see
below:
· Automatic Temperature Control moves from 2.2.4 to 25.1.0 · Outdoor
Temperature Reading Correction: from 2.4.9 to 25.1.1 · CH Boost Interval: from
2.4.4 to 25.1.2
· DHW Setpoint Temperature: from 2.0.0 to 25.2.0 · DHW Comfort Function: from
2.5.0 to 25.2.1 · Anti-legionella Function: from 2.5.7 to 25.2.3 · CH Supply
Setpoint (diagnostic read only): from 8.3.0 to 25.3.0 · Outdoor Temperature
(diagnostic read only): from 8.3.5 to
25.3.2
Follower Boiler Retains technical menu level 0 for setting the boiler
address. Loses menu levels 4, 5, and 6 normally used for managing CH settings
(Followers do not manage CH), and moves menu levels 2 and 8 to new menu level
34 (for Follower 1) [35-40 for Follower 2-7].
NOTE: The Master boiler also has access to the Follower menu of each Follower
in the cascade system.

Press Reset to clear the Error Code. If Error happens again: Check the BUS wiring. Ensure it is intact and connected. Repair if necessary.
Warning (Manual Reset)
CONFL Configuration Conflict
Each boiler connected to the BUS must have a unique address (parameter 0.4.6). No boiler can be configured
as «b-SIN».
Blocking
1. Press OK. Choose and correct the boiler address. Press OK again.
(Auto
2. If above process does not work, access parameter 0.4.6 and set the correct boiler address – see Cascade Reset)
Control Set-Up.
NOAVL Boiler Address Unconfigured
Boiler address is undefined (0.4.6 = UNDEF). 1. Press OK. Choose and correct
the boiler address. Press OK again. 2. If above process does not work, access
parameter 0.4.6 and set the correct boiler address – see Cascade
Control Set-Up.
Blocking (Auto Reset)
EMERG Emergency Mode
1. The Follower has been disconnected from the BUS or no longer sees the Master on the BUS – check the
BUS connections. See Wiring a Cascade System.
2. The control has sensed a short circuit on the BUS connection. Disconnect the field wiring from the BUS
connection and confirm wiring. 3. Verify that the BUS polarity («B» and «T» connections) is consistent on all devices connected to the BUS.
Warning
4. If problem persists replace the main control.
NOTE: When in Emergency Mode the boiler operates in CH mode with a target boiler temperature =
Emergency Setpoint (2.10.3 for Master boiler, 34-40.10.3 for Follower boilers).
Table 5 – Boiler Error Codes
Important Contact a qualified service technician for assistance if a Lockout
Error occurs frequently. For safety reasons, the boiler will permit a maximum
of five (5) resets in 15 minutes (five [5] presses of the RESET button). A
sixth (6th) attempt within this 15 minute period will lock out the boiler
permanently. The boiler will only operate again after the electrical supply
has been disconnected and reconnected. Repeated Lockout Error conditions could
indicate a serious error with the boiler or installation. Failure to contact a
qualified service technician to troubleshoot the error could result in
substantial property damage, serious personal injury, or death. *Error is
resettable remotely via NTI Tele-Diagnostic Service, NTI Remote Contractor.
