Default: Disabled

The Antilegionella Function ensures that an Indirect Water Heater is heat-

ed at least once per week to prevent the growth of Legionella bacteria.

Press the UP or DOWN buttons to select Enabled or Disabled then press

the OK button to store the setting.

· Enabled- When the Switch option is chosen in DHW Demand, a domestic hot water call is generated for 15 minutes once per week to heat the Indirect Water Heater. When the Sensor option is chosen in DHW Demand, a domestic hot water call is generated until the DHW storage temperature reaches 140°F [60°C] once per week. When the Sensor option is chosen in DHW Demand, the weekly timer is reset whenever the DHW storage temperature reaches 140°F [60°C] to prevent unnecessary firings. This function will be active even if DHW Operation has been set to Disabled.

· Disabled - The Prestige will only fire in DHW mode when a domestic hot water call is received.

WARNING
The Antilegionella Function should only be enabled when an Indirect Water Heater is installed. Enabling the Antilegionella Function without an Indirect Water Heater will result in the Prestige firing once per week in DHW mode. This could cause a Manual Reset Hard Lockout resulting in substantial property damage.
BEST PRACTICE
The Antilegionella Function is most effective when the Sensor option is chosen in DHW Demand. The use of an Indirect Water Heater Sensor ensures that the domestic hot water is heated to 140°F [60°C] at least once per week.

Cascade Operating Information

Cascade Operating Information The TriMax Boiler Management System includes a Cascade function which allows multiple Prestige boilers to operate together without the need for an external controller. One Prestige will be selected as the Master and will be wired to accept all the low voltage control signals. The other Prestige boilers will be designated as Slaves and will only have a communication cable connecting them to the other boilers in the Cascade System.

· The Cascade function allows up to six identical Prestige boilers to operate together in a single heating system.
· Parallel Modulation fires as many boilers as possible to maximize system efficiency.
· Lead Stage Automatic Rotation rotates the lead boiler to ensure even wear on each boiler in the Cascade System. This function can be disabled by the Automatic Rotation Setting.
The Cascade Menu is divided into three sections

1. Cascade Information See page 34.

­ Provides real time operating information of the Cascade System.

2. Cascade Settings

­ Allows the installer to adjust the Cascade System settings for the appli-

cation. See pages 35 through 40.

3. Cascade Autodetection System. See page 26.

Cascade Installation
Cascade Installation ­ System Piping Standard Cascade installations will utilize a balanced manifold system as the primary / secondary connection to the system piping as shown in Figure 7, page 28 or a reverse return piping arrangement as shown in Figure 9, page 30. Split Cascade installations will utilize a balanced manifold system as the primary / secondary connection to the central heating loop. Each boiler configured to respond to a domestic hot water call will also have a direct connection to the indirect water heater as shown in Figure 11, page 32. Reference the Prestige Installation and Maintenance Manual for general boiler installation and piping requirements.

Cascade Installation ­ System Sensor Installation Cascade operation requires a System Temperature Sensor to be installed on the common supply header downstream of all boilers in the system. Place the System Temperature Sensor within 10' of the last boiler in the Cascade System for an accurate temperature reading. Proper placement and installation of the System Temperature Sensor is critical for reliable cascade operation. The type of System Temperature Sensor chosen also greatly affects the accuracy of the system temperature readings. Three types of System Temperature Sensor are available:
· Direct Immersion - A direct immersion temperature sensor (MDRKIT05) is the recommended type since it will provide the most accurate water temperature readings. Install the 1/2" NPT direct immersion temperature sensor in a tee on the common supply header downstream of all boilers in the system. Ensure that the temperature sensor probe is directly in the water flow but not touching the opposite side of the tee. Wire the sensor to terminals15 & 16 of the Master boiler.
· Dry Well Installation ­ A temperature sensor (PSRKIT22) installed in a dry well will measure up to 10°F [5°C] lower than the actual water temperature. All water setpoints must be lowered at the Master boiler by 10°F [5°C] from the desired setpoints for reliable Cascade operation. Install a 3/8"ID drywell in the common supply header downstream of all boilers in the system. The drywell should be long enough to be directly in the water flow for the most accurate temperature reading. Insert the temperature sensor into the well and wire to terminals 15 & 16 of the Master boiler.
· Pipe Mounted Installation ­ A temperature sensor (PTSENS12) mounted to the outside of the pipe will measure up to 20°F [11°C] lower than the actual water temperature. All water setpoints must be lowered at the Master boiler by 20°F [11°C] from the desired setpoints for reliable Cascade operation. The Pipe Mounted temperature sensor can be directly strapped to the outside of a 1" to 3" metallic pipe. Install the temperature sensor as follows:
1. Remove the white plastic cover from the sensor
2. Cut a small slit in the seal gasket on the end of the sensor.

Fig. 5: System Sensor Direct Immersion
Fig. 6: System Sensor Dry Well Installation

24

Cascade Installation
3. Route 18 AWG 2-wire cable or similar cable through the seal gasket into the enclosure.
4. Push down on the orange wire terminal retainers to insert the wires into the sensor terminals. Release the orange wire terminal retainers and confirm that the wires are firmly attached to the sensor terminals.
5. Select a location for the sensor on the common supply header downstream of all boilers in the system. Clean the pipe with fine sandpaper or emery cloth to ensure the pipe is clean and sensor will make good contact with the pipe.
6. Press the white cover onto the sensor and strap the sensor to the pipe using the included wire tie.
7. Wire the sensor to terminals 15 & 16 of the Master boiler.
Cascade Installation ­ Cascade Communication Cable
· A communication cable PTCAB01 must be installed between each boiler in the Cascade System. The cable has a 6 pin molex connector on one end and bare wires on the other end. The molex connector plugs into the Cascade Slave connector of the Slave boiler. The bare wires terminate on the Cascade Master terminals of the Master boiler or prior Slave boiler in cascades of three or more boilers. Reference Figure 8,10,12 on pages 29, 31, 33 for wiring details. The connections are as follows:
Red Wire to Terminal #17
White Wire to Terminal #18
Black Wire & Cable Shielding to Terminal #19
Cascade Installation ­ Low Voltage Wiring Connections
· Thermostat Wiring ­ CH1 and CH2 calls must be wired into the Cascade Master.
· Outdoor Sensor Wiring ­ The outdoor temperature sensor must be wired into the Cascade Master.
· Domestic Hot Water Wiring ­ A DHW call must be wired into the Cascade Master.
· Additional Boiler Limits ­ Boiler Limits must be wired into each boiler in the Cascade System. When a boiler limit opens, that particular boiler will lockout and will be removed from Cascade System operation. The other boilers in the Cascade System will continue to operate if they are not in a lockout.
· External Modulation Control ­ An External Modulation Signal must be wired into the Cascade Master. The modulation signal will control the firing rate of the entire Cascade System, not just the Cascade Master.
· Modbus Wiring ­ A building management system (BMS) connection must be wired into the Cascade Master.
25

Cascade Installation
Cascade Installation ­ Line Voltage Wiring Connections · Circulator Wiring - Reference Figures 8,10,12 on pages 29, 31, 33 for
circulator wiring required for each type of Cascade System. The circulator connections used will depend on the systems piping layout.

NOTICE
Each circulator is individually fused with a 2.5A fuse located in the terminal strip. The total combined amp draw of the CH (1), DHW, and Auxiliary Boiler Circulators must not exceed 4 amps at any time for the PRESTIGE Solo 60, 110, 175, or 250. The total combined amp draw of the CH (1), DHW, and Auxiliary Boiler Circulators must not exceed 3 amps at any time for the PRESTIGE Solo 399. Use an isolation relay to lower the total combined amp draw if exceeding these limits.
· Power Supply ­ A dedicated 120 VAC / 15A minimum service must be used to power the boilers in the Cascade System. Multiple boilers in the Cascade System can be placed on the same electrical circuit. Each boiler can draw a maximum of 8 amps.
· Alarm Wiring ­ The alarm contact closes whenever that particular Prestige is in a soft or hard lockout. The alarm contact will also close on the Master boiler when any of the Slave boilers are locked out.
Cascade Installation ­ Cascade Autodetection
Navigation: Home Screen>Installer Menu>Cascade>Cascade Autodetection The Cascade System must be configured after wiring is completed and any required adjustments are made in Cascade Settings. The Cascade Autodetection function automatically finds and configures all boilers in the Cascade System. This eliminates the need to manually configure each boiler of the Cascade System. Select Cascade Autodetection on the Master boiler then follow the onscreen instructions to perform Cascade Autodetection. Once Cascade Autodetection is finished, a message will be displayed indicating how many boilers have been found. If the number of boilers found is correct, press OK to finish Cascade Autodetection. If the number of boilers found is not correct, check the cascade communication cables between the boilers and repeat Cascade Autodetection.

Cascade Setting changes must be made on the Cascade Master. Cascade Autodetection must be performed after making any changes to a Cascade Setting before the change will take effect.

Stage Delay

Default: 60 Seconds

Stage Delay sets the time delay before enabling or disabling a boiler in the

Cascade System. The Stage Delay begins once the Master boiler determines that

a boiler must be enabled to reach the setpoint or when the Master boiler deter-

mines a boiler should be disabled because of a decreasing load. Press the LEFT

or RIGHT buttons to adjust the Stage Delay then press the OK button to store 0sec.

the setting. Adjusting the Stage Delay will have the following effects:

· Increase Stage Delay

- Reaching the setpoint could take longer due to a longer delay between enabling boilers.

- Overshooting the setpoint could occur due to boilers staying on longer before being disabled.

· Decrease Stage Delay

- Overshooting the setpoint could occur due to boilers being enabled quicker.

- Boilers will be disabled quicker, possibly increasing boiler cycling and decreasing runtimes.

Stage Delay
60Sec. 255sec.

Minimum Firing Rate

Default: 30%

Minimum Firing Rate is the minimum firing rate of a single boiler in the Cascade

System. The Master boiler uses this setting to determine when boilers can be

enabled and disabled. Setting the Minimum Firing Rate below the recommend-

ed minimum will result in boilers being enabled too quickly which may cause

sharp increases in temperature from the Cascade System. Setting the Minimum

Firing Rate above the recommended minimum will delay the enabling of boilers

which may lower the system efficiency. Press the LEFT or RIGHT buttons to

Boiler Enabling Algorithm The Master boiler uses the following algorithm to determine when the next boiler can be enabled:

Number of Boilers Firing +1 Number of Boilers Firing

x

Minimum

Firing

Rate

=

Individual

Boiler

Firing

Rate

Once the currently fired boilers reach the calculated firing rate, the next boiler can be enabled without affecting the overall cascade firing rate. For example, the calculation for a Cascade System consisting of two PRESTIGE Solo 399s would be:
1 + 1 x 30% = 60% 1
Once the first PRESTIGE Solo 399 firing rate reaches 60%, the second PRESTIGE Solo 399 can be enabled. Both will then fire at the minimum 30% firing rate so that the overall output from the Cascade System remains the same.

Boiler Disabling Algorithm Once the firing rate of all currently fired boilers decreases to the Minimum Firing Rate, a boiler can be disabled. The boilers which continue to fire will increase their firing rate if required to replace the output of the disabled boiler.

NOTICE
Stable cascade operation requires that all boilers in a Cascade System be the same size. Mixing boiler sizes in a Cascade System could lead to temperature fluctuations and erratic cascade operation.

Maximum Firing Rate

Default: 398 MBH

Maximum Firing Rate is the maximum firing rate of a single boiler in the

Cascade System. Press the LEFT or RIGHT buttons to adjust the

Maximum Firing Rate then press the OK button to store the setting. The

CH/DHW Boilers

Default: 0

The CH/DHW Boilers setting specifies how many boilers in a Split

Cascade System will respond to a domestic hot water call. The CH/DHW

Boilers always include the Master boiler. The remaining boilers will only

respond to central heating calls. This allows the Cascade System to sat-

isfy both central heating and domestic hot water calls at the same time. At the completion of a domestic hot water call, the CH/DHW Boilers will

0

again be available to respond to central heating calls. Press the LEFT or

RIGHT buttons to adjust the CH/DHW Boilers setting then press the

OK button to store the setting.

CH/DHW Boilers
0 6

NOTICE
Splitting the Cascade System into CH only and CH/DHW boilers requires the boilers to be piped as shown in Figure 11, page 32. The CH/DHW boilers must be piped to both CH and DHW loads directly for proper operation.
NOTICE
DHW Priority must be set to Enabled in DHW Settings of the Cascade Master for proper operation.

NOTICE
All CH/DHW Boilers will respond to a domestic hot water call. It is important that the domestic load is capable of transferring all of the heat generated to prevent excessive boiler cycling.

Automatic Rotation

Default: Enabled

Automatic Rotation allows the lead stage automatic rotation function to

be disabled. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to select Enabled or

Disabled then press the OK button to store the setting.

Automatic Rotation
Enabled Disabled

· Enabled ­ The lead boiler automatically rotates every time a call for heat is received when a Switch option is chosen in CH Demand or every 24 hours when a Constant option is chosen in CH Demand.
· Disabled ­ The lead boiler is always the Master boiler followed by each Slave boiler.
