When installing with an indirect water heater, the signal from the indirect must be separated from the heating zone signals and
wired to I1 and I2 as shown above. Calls to I1 and I2 will bypass the Thermal Targeting feature and allow the boiler to fire to
the high limit setting to heat the indirect tank.

boiler temperature (see “How Thermal Targeting Works” on
page 7). If the heating system is unable to supply needed
heat to the house, the ECONOMY Dial should be turned to a
lower setting (example: In a three zone house, turn the dial to
2 or 1). Conversely, if the boiler provides adequate heat,
added fuel savings can be achieved by selecting a higher setting (example: 4 or 5). If the heating and indirect water heater
signals were not separated when wiring the control, the
Economy Feature should be turned OFF to ensure the boiler
supplies adequate temperature to heat the indirect tank.
NOTE: Settings can be checked using the

Setting the High Limit
The low limit is designed to maintain temperature in boilers
equipped with tankless coils used for domestic hot water.
The low limit is factory set to OFF. Prior to adjusting, remove
the jumper (not equipped on all units) . Then turn the LO
TEMP Dial clockwise until the desired temperature is displayed. For proper operation, the low temperature limit setting should be at least 10° below the high limit setting.
NOTE: For cold start operation, the low limit must be turned

SYSTEM START-UP
At initial start up, with the Economy Feature active, the control establishes a 145°F target temperature. To test the high limit
shut-off function, the Economy Dial must be turned to OFF. Once tested, restore the Economy setting. If the heating demand is
high, the target will increase over time to satisfy the heat load.
NOTE:
• Smart DHW Priority: During a call from an indirect water heater, the control will de-energize the circulator contacts (C1/C2) to
heat only the indirect tank ensuring an adequate supply of domestic hot water. The control will re-energize the circulator when
the indirect tank is satisfied or if the boiler temperature reaches 170°F. If the indirect call continues for 45 minutes, the control
will override the priority function energizing the circulator to provide space heating.
HOW THERMAL TARGETING WORKS
Thermal Targeting technology analyzes thermostat activity and continually evaluates how much heat the house requires. When it
is very cold outside, the heat demand is high and the Fuel Smart HydroStat will raise the boilerʼs Target temperature to provide
needed heat to the home. When the outside temperature is milder, the heat demand is lower. During these periods, the Fuel
Smart HydroStat will lower the boilerʼs Target temperature – saving fuel – while continuing to provide comfort to the house.

Under normal operation, boiler temperature will continue to rise after the control shuts off
the burner. This condition, known as “thermal stacking”, results from hot boiler surfaces
continuing to release heat into the boiler water.
For boilers equipped with a tankless coil, make sure the low limit setting on the HydroStat
is set properly. NOTE: If the low limit setting is dialed fully counter clockwise, it will shut
off the low temperature maintenance feature and will function as a cold start control. If
installed with an indirect water heater, verify that the end switch in the relay box
controlling the indirect water heater is connected to the IC-IR terminals. This will ensure
that the domestic water calls are prioritized. (see “Heating and Indirect Water Heater” on
page 6).
WARNING: A low water condition is a serious and potentially dangerous condition.
Do not attempt to add water to a hot boiler. Allow the boiler to fully cool before
adding water.
The LOW WATER light indicates that the control is not detecting water in the boiler. If the
light is blinking, the control has been programmed to provide lock-out protection in the
event of a low water condition (see Manual Reset Low Water Cut-Off on page 9).
Pressing the TEST/SETTINGS button will reset the control.
1. If the light is on and the heating system is filled with water, pull the sensor out of the
well and inspect it. Make sure that the metal clip on the sensor is intact. This metal clip
must be in contact with the inside of the copper well in order for the control to sense
the presence of water. Check that the well does not have excessive build-up of heat
transfer grease that may interfere with clip contacting the well.
2. Remove well and examine for excessive residue build-up. Clean and re-install.
Check for overlapping high temperature setting. If the high limit setting is set below the
low limit setting, the control will default to the high limit setting and the corresponding
high limit differential setting.
1. Check for air-bound radiators.
2. Check thermostat settings including heat anticipator settings (common on non-digital
thermostats).
3. Check the Economy setting. The Economy feature, much like outdoor reset controls,
lowers average boiler temperature and can slow or, in some cases, prevent the house
from coming up to temperature. Move to a lower setting (see “Setting the Economy
Feature” on page 6).
If the Circulator Hold Off is active (see page 9), check to see that boiler water is at or
above 125°F. On a call for heat, the control will not permit the circulator to operate if the
boiler water temperature is below 125°F.
