GETTING STARTED
This manual will help with the installation, parameter
setting, troubleshooting and general maintenance
requirements for the HydroBloc. To guarantee the safe
and reliable operation of this HydroBloc, you must first
read this manual in detail and take particular note to any
and all warnings or caution directives prior to connecting
to AC power.
Only suitably qualified individuals with
formal training in electrical and HVAC
controls should attempt the installation
of this equipment. Incorrect wiring and
installation will affect the warranty provided
with this unit. Wiring must be completed
in accordance with the codes and practices
applicable to the jurisdiction for the actual
installation.
The HBX HYD-0110 is a microprocessor
based controller and as such is not to
be regarded as a safety (limit) control.
Please consult and install the heating or
cooling appliance in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
SAFETY SYMBOLS:

Heating — this will appear on the screen with a heat demand is present.
When this is present the HYD-0110 will be calling for heat.
Boil Sup — this shows the actual boiler temperature on the left and the
boiler target temperature on the right side of the screen.
System — this shows the actual system temperature reading on the left and
the system target temperature on the right of the screen.
Outdoor — this shows the current outside temperature.
Pressure — this shows the system pressure reading. If the there is low
pressure then the word LOW will be shown on the screen. If LOW is
displayed for 1 minute or longer the control will shut off.
Valve Position — this indicated the position of the valve. 100% would be
fully open.
Boiler Protect — Boiler Protect will appear on the screen in the bottom
corners when in Boiler Protection.
STATUS SCREEN
The Setup Menu is where to access the other menus for the controller.
1. Back — selecting the back option will send the controller to the previous
screen.
SETUP MENU
Operation — when set to ON/OFF the circulator will turn on and off
based on the demand. When set to CONSTANT the circulator will
constantly be on unless it WWSD. (This option will not be available in
BOILER AQUASTAT mode). Default: ON/OFF
CIRCULATOR
SCREEN COLOURS
Light Blue — No Heat Demand
Red — Heat Demand and the boiler is running
Yellow/Green — Heat Demand and boiler is running but it is in boiler protection
Dark Blue — Heat Demand and the boiler target is satisfied. Boiler will not be running
Flashing Red — Faulty or fail sensor. 80F fluid will be supplied to the floor to prevent
freezing.
Flashing Purple — Purge. The valve will open for 30 minutes.

OUT DESIGN — This is the design outdoor temperature. It is used in
outdoor reset design calculation. Set this value to a temperature at which the
maximum target temperature the control will go to once the OUT DESGIN
is reached.
(-40F – 70F) Default: 10F
ROOM DESIGN — This is the design room temperature. It is used in the
outdoor reset design calculation. Set it to the approximate room temperature.
(35F – 120F) Default: 70F
WWSD — This sets the temperature at which the control will enter WWSD.
This temperature will shut the circulator/ control off.
(35F – 120F) Default: 70F
DESIGN TEMPERATURES
Temp Control: Fixed — A consistent water temperature will be maintained.
Water Temp — When there is a demand and not in WWSD the control will
target this temperature. (50F – 180F). Default: 120F
WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Temp Control: Reset — The water temperature target will change based on
outdoor reset design calculation.
Mix Design — This setting is the top of the heat curve. The target will hit
this temperature as the outdoor temperature approaches the OUT DESIGN.
(50F – 180F) Default: 120F
Mix Min — This setting is the bottom of the heat curve. The target will hit
this temperature as the outdoor temperature approaches WWSD.

BOILER SETTINGS
Type: Reset — When set to RESET the supply water temperature will
change based on outdoor reset. Default: RESET
Boiler Design — This setting is the top of the heat curve. The target will hit
this temperature as the outdoor temperature approaches the OUT DESIGN.
(70F – 200F) Default: 180F
Boiler Min — This is the minimum boiler temperature. Set this to the
temperature that the boiler will be at when is approaches WWSD.
(70F – 200F) Default: 140F
Boiler Diff: Adjust this setting to the desired differential for the boiler. This
value will center the differential around the set point. (Eg- 20F differential
would be 10F below and 10F above).
(10F – 50F) Default: 20F
Type: Condensing — When set to CONDENSING the control recognizes
this boiler being used is a condensing type and that the boiler will maintain
its own temperatures.
Type: Aquastat — When set to AQUASTAT the control will recognize
that a non-condensing boiler is being used that will maintain its own
temperatures. This setting cannot be used if CONSTANT CIRCULATION
is selected.
Sensor — Depending on how the sensor is placed will depend on what to
set this to. If the sensor is placed on the supply line then SUPPLY must be
selected and if it is placed on the return then RETURN must be selected.
Supply Min/ Return Min — the minimum supply or return temperature.
(70F- 200F) Default: 140F

C or F — This setting is used to set the temperatures displayed on the
control in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. Default: F
Overwrite Defaults — This settings will overwrite the Factory Default
Settings with the selected settings.
Restore Defaults — This will restore the settings to their Default settings. If
