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).”:
ƽ WARNING
ꢀ
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
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.
NIOSH stated First Aid.

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.

How the boiler operates
User
The Knight wall mount 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.
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.
How the control module operates
Installer
The Knight wall mount 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.
Most parameters are available only to the installer, accessible
only by entering the installer access code (5309).

Before changing parameters, note the settings so that the unit can be returned to its original operating
parameters.
CAUTION
A: General
Night setback times
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.
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.
User code
The User Code allows the user to access and change a limited
number of control parameters. The access code can be changed

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.
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
Date and time
SH set point user
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

SH Differential
E: DHW settings
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.
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.

F: Outdoor air reset
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.
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. 1-1 on page 19.
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.
Minimum air temperature
D: Functions
When the outdoor air temperature drops to or below this
point, the water temperature will be at its maximum setting
(FIG. 1-1). 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.
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
Maximum air temperature
By pressing the pin button on the front of the display for five
(5) seconds, the control will be placed in Service Mode. This

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.
When the outdoor air temperature rises to or above this
point, the water temperature will be at its minimum setting
(FIG. 1-1). 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.

Boost temperature
G: Anti-cycling
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.
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.
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.
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. 1-2 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 Wall
Mount Smart System PC Program Instructions Manual for
additional ramp delay parameter information.

3 - Cascade. The boiler is part of a group of boilers sequenced
together. The designated Leader boiler determines the total
output needed from the group based on the set point and
controlling sensor reading. It assigns portions of this output
to itself (Leader) and the Member boilers. When Cascade is
selected, each boiler in the group requires a unique address
(see below). The default control is Thermostat.
H: Control modes
SH controlling sensor
The SH controlling sensor parameter selects the sensor the
control will use to regulate the boiler firing rate. This
parameter is adjustable by the installer by accessing
parameter H1. The sensor selections are as follows: The
outlet sensor regulates the firing rate based on the outlet
water temperature of the boiler and the inlet sensor regulates
the firing rate based on the inlet water temperature of the
boiler. If the outlet sensor is selected, and the optional system
supply sensor is connected, the control will regulate the firing
rate based on the system supply sensor temperature. The
default sensor is the Outlet Sensor.
Boiler cascade address
The boiler designated as the Leader needs to be programmed
with address 0. All the Member boilers require addresses
from 1 to 7, and the addresses must be different for each
Member. The addresses can be in any order, regardless of the
order in which the units are wired together. This parameter
is adjustable by the installer by accessing parameter H3. The
outdoor air (if used) and system supply sensor must be
connected to the Leader boiler. The default address is 1.
SH source
The SH source parameter selects the method used to control
the modulation of the boiler. This parameter is adjustable by
the installer by accessing parameter H2. The control methods
are as follows:
Max. cascade set point
This parameter determines the set point used by the
individual boilers in a Cascade. When a boiler is commanded
to fire by the Leader boiler, it will attempt to achieve this
temperature at its outlet. The Leader boiler will limit the
modulation of the last boiler to fire in order to hold the
temperature at the system supply sensor to the user set point.
If any of the boiler outlet temperatures reach the max.
cascade set point, the boiler will then modulate down on its
own in order to keep its outlet temperature within the max.
cascade set point. Therefore, this parameter can be used to
limit the outlet temperatures of all the boilers in a Cascade.
Note that this parameter does not apply when the boiler is
heating an indirect DHW tank. This parameter is adjustable
by the installer by accessing parameter H4. The default max.
cascade set point is 185°F.
1 - Thermostat. The control modulates the boiler based on
the user set point and the temperature of the selected
controlling sensor.
2 - BMS (Building Management System). The control
modulates the boiler based on the 0 - 10 vdc signal delivered
to the appropriate terminals on the connection board. When
BMS is selected additional parameters for BMS operation
may need to be adjusted. These can only be accessed by the
optional PC software. See the Knight Wall Mount Smart
System PC Program Instructions Manual for additional BMS
parameter information.

by the installer by accessing parameter J2. The time range for
this parameter is 0 hours to 100,000 hours. The default time
is 10,000 hours.
This parameter determines how much the temperature must
go above set point before the lead boiler will turn off. This
parameter can be adjusted by the installer by accessing
parameter H5. The default value is 9.9°F.
Cascade off-on differential
This parameter determines how much the temperature must
go below the turn off temperature (Set point + Offset) before
the lead boiler turns on. This parameter can be adjusted by
the installer by accessing parameter H6. The default value is
19.8°F.
Service notification boiler cycles
When the boiler control determines that a scheduled service is
due based on the number of boiler cycles, the boiler display
will alternate the standard boiler display text with the message

(continued)
Safety relief valves should be re-inspected
AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS,
by a licensed plumbing contractor or
authorized inspection agency, to ensure
that the product has not been affected by
corrosive water conditions and to ensure
that the valve and discharge line have not
been altered or tampered with illegally.
Certain naturally occurring conditions
may corrode the valve or its components
over time, rendering the valve inoperative.
Such conditions are not detectable unless
the valve and its components are
physically removed and inspected. This
inspection must only be conducted by a
plumbing contractor or authorized
inspection agency – not by the owner.
Failure to re-inspect the boiler relief valve
as directed could result in unsafe pressure
buildup, which can result in severe
personal injury, death, or substantial
property damage.
Flue vent system and air piping
ƽ WARNING
1. Visually inspect the entire flue gas venting system and air
piping for blockage, deterioration or leakage. Repair any
joints that show signs of leakage. Verify that air inlet pipe
is connected and properly sealed.
2. Verify that boiler vent discharge and air intake are clean
and free of obstructions.
Failure to inspect for the above conditions
and have them repaired can result in
severe personal injury or death.
ƽ WARNING
Check water system
1. Verify all system components are correctly installed and
operational.
2. Check the cold fill pressure for the system. Verify it is
correct (must be a minimum of 12 psi).
3. Watch the system pressure as the boiler heats up (during
testing) to ensure pressure does not rise too high.
Excessive pressure rise indicates expansion tank sizing or
performance problem.
Following installation, the valve lever
must be operated AT LEAST ONCE A
YEAR to ensure that waterways are clear.
Certain naturally occurring mineral
deposits may adhere to the valve,
rendering it inoperative. When manually
operating the lever, water will discharge
and precautions must be taken to avoid
contact with hot water and to avoid water
damage. Before operating lever, check to
see that a discharge line is connected to
this valve directing the flow of hot water
from the valve to a proper place of
disposal. Otherwise severe personal injury
may result. If no water flows, valve is
inoperative. Shut down the boiler until a
new relief valve has been installed.
ƽ WARNING
4. Inspect automatic air vents and air separators. Remove
air vent caps and briefly press push valve to flush vent.
Replace caps. Make sure vents do not leak. Replace any
leaking vents.
Check expansion tank
1. Expansion tanks provide space for water to move in and
out as the heating system water expands due to
temperature increase or contracts as the water cools.
Tanks may be open, closed or diaphragm or bladder type.
See Section 6 - Hydronic Piping of the Knight Wall
Mount Installation and Operation Manual for suggested
best location of expansion tanks and air eliminators.
2. After following the above warning directions, if the relief
valve weeps or will not seat properly, replace the relief
valve. Ensure that the reason for relief valve weeping is
the valve and not over-pressurization of the system due to
expansion tank waterlogging or undersizing.
Check boiler relief valve
1. Inspect the relief valve and lift the lever to verify flow.
Before operating any relief valve, ensure that it is piped
with its discharge in a safe area to avoid severe scald
potential. Read Section 6 - Hydronic Piping of the

“On/Off” switch in the ON position.
8. Once the combustion analysis is complete, test the safety
shutoff device by turning the manual shutoff valve to the
OFF position and ensuring that the boiler shuts down
and registers an alarm. Open the manual shutoff valve,
reset the control, and return to Service Mode.

Gas valve adjustment procedure
If adjustment of the gas valve is deemed necessary, use the
following procedures:
Locate the throttle adjustment screw on the side of the venturi
valve (FIG. 3-2). Using a screwdriver, turn the screw a 1/4 turn
clockwise to increase CO2 levels or a 1/4 turn counterclockwise
to decrease CO2 levels. After performing one adjustment on the
valve, follow the Combustion Analysis Procedure on page 40 of
this manual to measure the combustion.
If combustion is still not within the specified range, repeat the
procedure. This procedure SHOULD NOT be performed more
than four (4) times. If after four (4) adjustments and the
combustion is still not within the specified range, revisit the
possible causes in Table 3G on page 40 or replace the gas valve.
