Handling ceramic fiber materials
REMOVAL OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER LINING
The combustion chamber door insulation in this product contains ceramic fiber material. Ceramic fibers
can be converted to cristobalite in very high temperature applications. The International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded, “Crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite
from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).”:
Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin and eyes.
• Use NIOSH certified dust respirator (N95). This type of respirator is based on the OSHA
requirements for cristobalite at the time this document was written. Other types of respirators may
be needed depending on the job site conditions. Current NIOSH recommendations can be found on
the NIOSH website at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html. NIOSH approved respirators,
manufacturers, and phone numbers are also listed on this website.
• Wear long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing, gloves, and eye protection.
Apply enough water to the combustion chamber lining to prevent airborne dust.
Remove the combustion chamber lining from the boiler and place it in a plastic bag for disposal.
Wash potentially contaminated clothes separately from other clothing. Rinse clothes washer
thoroughly.

Service Manual
Please read before proceeding
When servicing boiler –
• To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply
before performing maintenance.
• To avoid severe burns, allow boiler to cool before
performing maintenance.
Boiler operation –
• Do not block flow of combustion or ventilation air to
the boiler.
• Should overheating occur or gas supply fail to shut off,
do not turn off or disconnect electrical supply to
circulator. Instead, shut off the gas supply at a location
external to the appliance.
• Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water.
The possible damage to a flooded appliance can be
extensive and present numerous safety hazards. Any
appliance that has been under water must be replaced.
Boiler water –
• Thoroughly flush the system (without boiler
connected) to remove sediment. The high-efficiency
heat exchanger can be damaged by build-up or
corrosion due to sediment.
• Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing
compounds in the boiler system. Gaskets and seals in
the system may be damaged. This can result in
substantial property damage.
• Do not use “homemade cures” or “boiler patent
medicines”. Serious damage to the boiler, personnel,
and/or property may result.
• Continual fresh make-up water will reduce boiler life.
Mineral buildup in the heat exchanger reduces heat
transfer, overheats the stainless steel heat exchanger, and
causes failure. Addition of oxygen carried in by makeup
water can cause internal corrosion. Leaks in boiler
piping must be repaired at once to prevent the
introduction of makeup water.
Freeze protection fluids –
• NEVER use automotive antifreeze. Use only inhibited
propylene glycol solutions which are specifically
formulated for hydronic systems. Ethylene glycol is
toxic and can attack gaskets and seals used in hydronic
systems.

General Operation
How the boiler operates
The Knight boiler uses an advanced stainless steel heat
exchanger and an electronic control module that allows fully
condensing operation. The blower pulls in gas and air and
pushes flue products out of the boiler through the heat
exchanger and flue piping. The control module regulates
blower speed to control boiler firing rate. The gas valve senses
the amount of air flowing into the boiler and allows only the
right amount of gas to flow.
How the control module operates
The Knight boiler control module receives input from boiler
sensors. The control module activates and controls the
blower and gas valve to regulate heat input and switches
boiler, DHW and system pumps on and off as needed. The
user/installer programs the module to meet system needs by
adjusting control parameters. These parameters set operating
temperatures and boiler operating modes. Boiler operation
can be based on boiler outlet water temperature, boiler return
water temperature or system supply temperature, depending
on the parameter setting.
Sequence of operation
Table 1 shows control module normal sequences of operation
for space heating and DHW operation. The combined
operation sequence is for a typical application, programmed
to provide DHW priority.
Access modes
User
The user can adjust space heating set point using the UP and
DOWN buttons at any time during normal operation. By
entering the USER code (0704), the user can also change
temperature units, time and date, and night setback settings.
In user mode, the following parameters can be viewed but not
changed: Boiler outlet water temperature in DHW mode;
boiler model number; software version; total operating hours,
and total cycles.
Installer
Most parameters are available only to the installer, accessible
only by entering the installer access code (5309).
Saving parameters
To save parameters:
Press the ENTER/RESET button.
To keep parameter settings only for a current operating cycle:
Press the MENU/EXIT button 1 time to return to the
parameter listings; press again to return to the menu listings.

Sequence of operation
Table 1 Sequence of operation - space heating and DHW
OPERATION DISPLAY
1. Upon a call for heat, the control turns on the appropriate pumps
(system and boiler pumps for space heating call; DHW pump
for DHW call).
BLR: Standby
OUT: 123.8F(129)
2. The control connects 120 vac to the blower. The blower does
not run at this time.
• If the unit is equipped with a flow switch or low water cutoff, it
must close before the control powers up the blower.
• If the unit is equipped with a manual reset high limit it must be
closed before the control powers up the blower.
• If the unit is equipped with a solenoid valve and/or a vent
valve, they will be energized along with the blower.
• If the unit is equipped with a gas pressure switch, it must close
at this time.
• If there is an auxiliary device connected to the unit, the unit
will then provide 24 vac to its enable relay. If the auxiliary
device has a proving switch, it must close before the
sequence continues.
BLR: Standby
OUT: 123.8F(129)
3. The control then starts a 10 second prepurge cycle. BLR: PREPURGE
OUT: 123.9F(129)
4. Once the prepurge cycle is complete, and the blocked drain
switch and auto-reset high limit are closed, the control starts
the 5 second trial for ignition by sending spark voltage to the
spark electrode and opening the gas valve.
BLR: IGNITION
OUT: 123.9F(129)
5. If the control does not detect flame by the end of the trial for
ignition, the control performs a 10 second postpurge, another
prepurge and tries to light the burner again. If the burner does
not light after 4 trials, the control locks out for 1 hour and then
tries another set of 4 trials.
BLR: POSTPURGE, PREPURGE
OUT: 123.9F(129)
6. If the control detects a flame before the trial for ignition ends, it
begins to modulate the burner in order to maintain the set point.
If the boiler lights due to a space heating call for heat, and the
ramp delay function is active (default is off), the modulation
will be held to a series of increasing limits after the burner has
lit.
BLR: SH 20% RATE
OUT: 124.8F(129)
7. If the space heating call for heat is active, and the DHW
thermostat closes, the control will turn on the DHW pump, wait
2 seconds, and then turn off the boiler pump. This will divert
the hot water away from the heating zone(s) and send it to the
DHW tank instead. The control will then modulate to maintain
the outlet temperature to the DHW boiler set point.
BLR: DHW 85% RATE
OUT: 177.8(180)

8. If the DHW thermostat remains on for more than 30 minutes,
and the space heating call for heat is also on, then the control
will turn on the boiler pump, turn off the DHW pump after 2
seconds, and resume modulating based on the space heating
set point. As long as both the space heating and DHW calls for
heat remain active, the control will switch back and forth
between the two modes until one of them is satisfied.
BLR: SH 41% RATE
OUT: 123.0F(129)
9. Once both calls for heat are satisfied, the control will turn off the
burner. The blower will remain on for the 10 second postpurge
cycle. Any pumps that are running will continue to run for their
respective pump delay times, then turn off.
BLR: POSTPURGE
OUT: 127.4F(129)
10. Boiler pump off, system pump continues its delay if longer. BLR: Standby

Viewable and changeable control parameters
A: General
Boiler model
The control will display “Knight Boiler” as the model number
because the same control is used on several models. This will be
displayed when parameter A1 has been accessed. This parameter
is not changeable.
User code
The User Code allows the user to access and change a limited
number of control parameters. The access code can be changed
by the user or the installer to a code of their choosing. To change
the code, parameter A2 must be accessed. The default code is
0704. The code can be changed one digit at a time by using the
arrow keys on the display.
Date and time
The control uses an internal clock for the night setback feature
and for logging of events. For these features to work correctly,
the clock must be set when the boiler is first installed or anytime
the boiler has been powered off for more than 30 days. To set the
clock, parameter A3 must be accessed. The date and time are
displayed as “YY:MM:DD W hh:mm”. YY = year, MM = month,
DD = date, W = day (1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, etc.), hh = hour
(24 hour time; 2:00 PM = 14:00), mm = minutes.
Night setback times
If parameter A6 is set to anything other than 32°F, the night
setback feature becomes active. This will require start and stop
times to be programmed for the days that reduced temperatures
are required. These times can be changed by the user or the
installer by accessing parameter A7. Each day of the week
(Sunday through Saturday) will have an on and off time.
Example: Monday ON: 22:30, Tuesday OFF: 6:45. If you wish
to skip a day and have no night setback, leave the on and off
times the same. The default times for each day will be 00:00
(midnight).
B: Temperature settings
SH set point user
The SH set point user sets the water temperature set point for
fixed operation or the maximum temperature set point when
the outdoor air sensor is used. This parameter can be changed
by the user or the installer by accessing parameter B1. The
temperature range of this parameter is 50°F to 190°F. The
default value is 125°F.
SH minimum set point
The SH minimum set point sets the minimum water
temperature set point that can be used for space heating
operation. The user or installer will not be able to program the
control with a lower SH set point. This parameter can only be
changed by the installer by accessing parameter B2. The
temperature range of this parameter is 32°F to 190°F. The
default value is 70°F.
SH Maximum set point
The SH maximum set point sets the maximum water
temperature set point that can be used for space heating. The
user or installer will not be able to program the control with a
higher SH set point. This parameter can only be changed by the
installer by accessing parameter B3. The temperature range of
this parameter is 32°F to 190°F. The default value is 190°F.
SH Offset
The SH offset sets how many degrees above set point the
temperature has to go before the boiler will shut off. This
parameter can only be changed by the installer by accessing
parameter B4. The temperature range of this parameter is 0°F
to 86°F. The default value is 10°F.
CAUTION Before changing parameters, note the
settings so that the unit can be returned to its
original operating parameters.
Software version
The software version allows the user to view the software version
in use by the control. This software controls the operation of the
boiler. When a new software version becomes available, the
existing control can be replaced with a new control to update the
software.
Temperature units
The control can be configured to display temperature in either
°C or °F. This parameter can be changed by the user or the
installer by accessing parameter A5. The default is °F.
Night setback temperature
Once the internal clock has been set correctly, the night setback
feature can be used to program a lower water temperature set
point for space heating. This parameter can be changed by the
user or the installer by accessing parameter A6. The
temperature range for this parameter is 32°F to 140°F. The
feature is turned off with a setting of 32°F. The default value is
32°F.
NOTICE The internal clock does not adjust for
Daylight Savings Time and therefore, will
require a manual adjustment.

SH Differential
The SH differential sets how many degrees below the turn off
temperature the temperature has to go before the boiler will
turn on. This parameter can only be changed by the installer
by accessing parameter B5. The temperature range of this
parameter is 0°F to 86°F. The default value is 20°F.
C: Data logging
Hours running SH
The hours running SH parameter shows the total number of
hours the boiler has been in the SH firing position. This
parameter can be viewed by the user and the installer by
accessing parameter C1.
Hours running DHW
The hours running DHW parameter shows the total number
of hours the boiler has been in the DHW firing position. This
parameter can be viewed by the user and the installer by
accessing parameter C2.
Ignition attempts
The ignition attempts parameter shows the total number of
times the boiler has attempted to fire. This parameter can be
viewed by the user and the installer by accessing parameter
C3.
Show last 10 errors
The control will log the 10 most current errors with the date
and time the error occurred. This parameter can be viewed
by the user and the installer by accessing parameter C4.
D: Functions
Reset last 10 errors
The reset last 10 errors parameter allows the error counter to
be reset to 0. This parameter can only be cleared by the
installer by accessing parameter D1. Once accessed, press the
RESET key to clear the counter.
Service mode delay
By pressing the pin button on the front of the display for five
(5) seconds, the control will be placed in Service Mode. This
will override all other heat demands. The Service Mode
allows the installer to set the unit to either maximum firing
rate or minimum firing rate for the purpose of combustion
analysis. The delay sets the length of time the boiler will stay
in the Service Mode if no keys have been pressed before going
back to its original state. This parameter can only be changed
by the installer by accessing parameter D2. The time range of
this parameter is 0 to 40 minutes. The default value is
20 minutes.
E: DHW settings
DHW boiler set point
When a DHW call for heat becomes active, the control will
use the DHW boiler set point to determine the firing rate of
the boiler based on the actual water temperature. This
parameter can be changed by the installer by accessing
parameter E1. The temperature range of this parameter is
50°F to 190°F. The default value is 180°F.
SH/DHW switching time
The SH/DHW switching time parameter sets the length of
time the control will stay in DHW Mode when a SH call has
been received. After this time period has expired the control
will revert to SH Mode. If a DHW call is still active the timer
will reset. After the time period has expired the control will
revert back to DHW Mode. This will continue until one of
the demands has been satisfied. This parameter can be
changed by the installer by accessing parameter E2. The time
range of this parameter is 10 minutes to 240 minutes. The
default value is 30 minutes.
F: Outdoor air reset
Outdoor air reset operation
When the outdoor air sensor is installed, the control will
calculate the water temperature set point based on the
outdoor air temperature. As the outdoor air temperature
drops the water temperature set point increases. This feature
allows the boiler to be more efficient in periods of mild
weather, see FIG. 1 on page 19.
Minimum air temperature
When the outdoor air temperature drops to or below this
point, the water temperature will be at its maximum setting
(FIG. 1). However, if the user set point is set lower, the water
temperature will be limited by the user set point instead. This
parameter can be changed by the installer by accessing
parameter F1. The temperature range of this parameter is -
30°F to 90°F. The default value is 25°F.
Maximum air temperature
When the outdoor air temperature rises to or above this
point, the water temperature will be at its minimum setting
(FIG. 1). This parameter can be changed by the installer by
accessing parameter F2. The temperature range of this
parameter is -30°F to 90°F. The default value is 70°F.

When the outdoor temperature rises above this point, the
control will block all SH demands (DHW demands will still
be active). This parameter can be changed by the user or the
installer by accessing parameter F5. The temperature range of
this parameter is 0°F to 120°F. The default value is 80°F.
Outdoor air shutdown differential
The outdoor air shutdown differential parameter is the
number of degrees below parameter F5 the outdoor air
temperature must go before the boiler will respond to a SH
demand. This parameter can be changed by the user or the
installer by accessing parameter F6. The temperature range of
this parameter is 0°F to 90°F. The default value is 10°F.
Shift reset curve
The shift reset curve parameter shifts the actual set point
above the calculated set point the number of degrees in this
parameter. This parameter can be changed by the installer by
accessing parameter F7. The temperature range of this
parameter is -27°F to 27°F. The default value is 0°F. This
feature will be active if this parameter is set to anything other
than 0°F.

Boost temperature
If a SH demand lasts longer than the programmed time delay
setting (F9) and there have been no DHW demands, the
control will increase the water temperature set point by the
amount in this parameter. If the SH demand continues
through another time period, the set point will be increased
again. This will continue until either the SH demand ends, a
maximum of 20 increases has occurred, or the maximum set
point has been reached. Once the SH demand has been
satisfied the set point will revert back to its calculated setting.
The boost temperature can be changed by the installer by
accessing parameter F8. The temperature range of this
parameter is 0°F to 45°F. The default value is 0°F. This feature
will be active if this parameter is set to anything other than
0°F.
Boost time
The boost time parameter sets the amount of time that must
elapse with a SH demand before the water temperature set
point will be increased. This parameter can be changed by the
installer by accessing parameter F9. The time range for this
parameter is 1 minute to 60 minutes. The default value is 20
minutes.
G: Anti-cycling
Anti-cycling time
Once a SH demand has been satisfied, a set amount of time
must elapse before the control will respond to a new SH
demand. The control will block the new heat demand and
anti-cycling will be shown in the display until the time has
elapsed or the water temperature drops below parameter G2.
This parameter can be changed by the installer by accessing
parameter G1. The time range for this parameter is 0 minutes
to 40 minutes. The default value is 1 minute.
Inlet temperature differential for ending anti-cycling
The control will bypass the anti-cycling time if the water
temperature drops too quickly. The control will use the water
temperature the boiler was at when it shut off as the starting
point. If the temperature drops below the temperature
parameter the control will abort anti-cycling and allow the
boiler to fire. This parameter can be changed by the installer
by accessing parameter G2. The temperature range of this
parameter is 0°F to 86°F. The default value is 10°F.
Ramp delay on/off
When the ramp delay on/off parameter is active, the ramp
delay limits the boiler firing rate when a SH cycle has started.
There are six (6) limiting steps used to limit temperature
overshoot and short cycles, see FIG. 2 on page 21 of this
manual. This feature can be turned on or off depending on
the installation. This parameter can be changed by the
installer by accessing parameter G3. The control range of this
parameter is 0 = Off, 1 = Ramp Up Only, and 2 = Ramp Up
and Ramp Down. The default value is 0.
When ramp delay is active, additional parameters for ramp
delay operation will have to be adjusted. These can only be
accessed by the optional PC software. See the Knight Boiler
Smart System PC Program Instructions Manual for additional
ramp delay parameter information.
