maintain near 160ºF system supply temperature, and
if the system ΔT is 10ºF, then the system return (target)
set-point is 160-10=150ºF.
Deadband: Deadband is a band of temperature sens-
ing where no action occurs. All temperature controllers
have a deadband and the purpose is to prevent short-
cycling of the heater. The on-board temperature
controller has a deadband of 2ºF around the differen-
tial.
Differential: A heat source must be operated with a
temperature differential in order to prevent short-
cycling. The temperature differential is divided around
the “target” temperature or set-point. The Call For Heat
(CFH) contact will close in the controller when the
water temperature is below the target temperature by
1/2 of the differential setting, and will open when the
water temperature is above the target temperature by
1/2 of the differential setting. See Fig. 27.
For systems with less then 4:1 turndown, the control
should be placed on the system return, as shown in
Fig. 29, to avoid short cycling the heat source. Raypak
recommends using a smaller differential setting when
controlling the water temperature on the return side.
As a starting point, set the return differential to 10ºF
and this will allow the system return temperature to
vary 5ºF above and 5ºF below the set-point.
For systems with more than 4:1 turndown, the recom-
mended location of the system (target) sensor is in the
system supply loop. When controlling systems with
more than 4:1 turndown; set the supply side differen-
tial to 20ºF and the temperature will vary ±10ºF around
the set-point.
In lieu of installing the target sensor in the system
return, a properly-sized buffer tank can be installed as
shown in Fig. 28. Consult factory for buffer tank sizing.
Operating Modes
Mode 1 – Not recommended.
Mode 2 – Setpoint operation using primary/secondary
piping. The control operates the heater to satisfy a
remote system sensor. The heater is turned off based
on boiler target and boiler differential (factory default
H7, P and WHP boilers). See Fig. 29.
Mode 3 – Dedicated DHW operation using UniTemp
80 piping. A call for heat is determined by the DHW
sensor and the DHW boiler target. The heater outlet
