3)Two basic types of errors codes are shown on the display:

•Soft Lockout Codes – When a soft lockout occurs, the boiler will shut down and the display will alter- nate between the number “9” and the letter “b” followed by a two digit service code. A list of these codes, and their meanings, is shown in Table 13.3. The boiler will automatically restart once the condi- tion that caused the lockout is corrected.

•Hard Lockout Codes – When a hard lockout occurs, the boiler will shut down and the display will flash the letter “E” followed by a two digit service code. A list of these codes, and their meanings, is shown in Table 13.4. Once the condition that caused the lockout is corrected, the boiler will need to be manually reset using the RESET button on the display.

4)If an outdoor sensor is installed, the boiler will automatically adjust the heating zone set point temperature based on the outdoor reset curve in Figure 11.4. The maximum set point is defined by parameter 4 (factory set to 180°F) when the outdoor temperature is 0°F or below. The minimum set point temperature shown is 68°F when the outdoor temperature is also 68°F or above. As the outdoor temperature falls the supply water target temperature increases. For example, if the outdoor air temperature is 35°F, the set point temperature for the supply water is 123°F.

5)An indirect water heater thermostat can be connected between terminals 7 and 8 on the terminal strip. When this thermostat closes, the central heating circulator will be turned off and the DHW circulator will be turned on.

6)An external limit control can be installed between terminals 3 and 4 on the terminal strip. Be sure to remove the jumper between terminals 3 and 4 when adding an external limit control to the system. If the external limit opens, the boiler will shut down and error code “b 26” will be displayed. If the limit installed is a manual reset type, it will need to be reset before the boiler will operate.

The BWC Series employs a high-quality, stainless steel heat exchanger, which not only enhances performance but also extends the lifespan of the boiler. This heat exchanger is designed to transfer heat efficiently, ensuring that the maximum amount of energy from the fuel is converted into usable heat. Additionally, the design helps to prevent corrosion and maintain system integrity over years of usage.

For technological advancements, the BWC Series incorporates a modulating gas valve which allows for precise control over the boiler's operation. This feature enables the system to adjust its output based on the heating demands of the home, resulting in improved energy efficiency and consistent comfort levels. Moreover, this modulating technology reduces the frequency of cycling, thereby prolonging the lifespan of the unit and minimizing wear and tear.

Another characteristic of the Crown Boiler BWC Series is its user-friendly interface. The boiler is equipped with a simple control panel that allows for easy monitoring and adjustment of settings. This accessibility is essential for users who want to manage their heating system without the need for extensive technical knowledge.
