BCP-3 Installation and Operation Manual

Outdoor Reset Mode

•When Output-On is selected, the BCP-3 will energize all boiler and system relays when the System reads SHORT or OPEN and Outdoor is below Outdoor Cutoff. Thus, all boilers will run on their limits. However, if the Outdoor sensor fails and the Outdoor reads SHORT or OPEN, the BCP-3 will change the Target Set Point to the Max Water Temperature.

•When Output-Off is selected, the BCP-3 will turn all boilers Off when the System sensor reads SHORT or OPEN. However, when the Outdoor sensor reads SHORT or OPEN, the BCP-3 will change the Target Set Point to be the Min Water Temperature.

Set Point Mode

•When Output On is selected, the BCP-3 will turn all boilers On when the System sensor reads SHORT or OPEN.

•When Output-Off is selected, the BCP-3 will turn all boilers Off when the System sensor reads SHORT or OPEN.

•The Outdoor Sensor fault status will not affect the control operation in Set Point mode. And, no Outdoor Cutoff will be available.

Setting the Control to Factory Default

To Reset the BCP-3 control to its original factory defaults, power down the control. Hold down the SET and DOWN buttons while powering the control back up until the Loading Default Values screen

appears. The Display will direct you to the Startup menu after the defaults are loaded to program the control.

NOTE: When resetting the control to original factory defaults all control settings will be over written and will no longer exist.

Default Display

The default display will show the current System temperature and the Target temperature. By clicking the Up or Down button, the display will show the current Outdoor temperature and the Outdoor Cutoff.

SET /<Out. Reset>/Reset Ratio

•The Reset Ratio determines how the System Target temperature will vary with Outdoor temperature changes. The colder it gets outside, the hotter the Target will be. The Ratio is measured as; Outdoor (O): System Water (S).

•With a 1.00:4.00 ratio, the System water temperature will increase rapidly as the outside temperature falls hitting the maximum default water temperature of 240°F at 35°F outdoor temperature. With a 4.00 (O):1.00 (S) ratio, the System water temperature (S) will increase slowly as the outside temperature (O) falls.

•The Reset Ratio controls the amount of heat entering the heating system based on the outdoor temperature. A higher numbered Reset Ratio will result in a higher Calculated water temperature. See the Reset Ratio chart on page 2. If the application has radiant heat, a lower numbered Reset Ratio curve should be selected. See Type of Radiation in Building Table on page 2.

•Reset Ratios are adjustable based on the building and application. See suggested ratios on page 2.
