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.

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.

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.
