Installation & Operation Manual
Low voltage connections
1. Route all low voltage wires through the knockouts in the
rear of the boiler, as shown in FIG. 7-2.
2. Connect low voltage wiring to low voltage connection
board as shown in FIG. 7-3 on page 42 of this manual and
the boiler wiring diagram.

Enable
1. Connect the room thermostat or boiler enable contacts
(isolated contact only) to terminals 7 and 8, as shown in
FIG. 7-3.
2. If a thermostat is used, install the thermostat on the inside
wall away from influences of drafts, hot or cold water
pipes, lighting fixtures, television, sunlight, or fireplaces.
3. Thermostat anticipator (if applicable):
a. If connected directly to boiler, set for 0.1 amps.
b. If connected to relays or other devices, set to match
total electrical power requirements of connected
devices. See device manufacturers’ specifications
and thermostat instructions for details.
Outdoor temperature sensor
1. Connect the outdoor temperature sensor (FIG. 7-3) to
the Outdoor Sensor terminals on the connection board to
enable outdoor reset operation of the Crest.
2. Mount the sensor on an exterior wall, shielded from direct
sunlight or flow of heat or cooling from other sources.
3. Route sensor wires through a knockout at the rear of the
boiler (see FIG. 7-2).
Variable speed system pump
If a variable speed pump is used in the primary loop, and
a 0-10V signal is available from the pump speed control,
this signal can be used by the SMART TOUCH control to
anticipate changes in the building heat load. By connecting
this 0 - 10V signal to the 0 - 10V SYS PUMP IN terminals, the
boiler (or cascade) can modulate up and down as the primary
flow increases and decreases.
ModBus / BACnet
The RS-485 ModBus / BACnet cable is connected to the
ModBus terminals. Use shielded, 2-wire twisted pair cable. If
desired, the shield can be connected to ground by installing a
jumper wire between terminals 1 and 3 on connector X5 on the
ModBus interface module.
Hot Water Generator (HW)
thermostat
1. Connect the HW tank thermostat to the Tank Thermostat
terminals on the connection board (FIG. 7-3).
Hot Water Generator (HW) tank
sensor
1. By installing a HW tank sensor, the SMART TOUCH
control can perform the tank thermostat function. The
SMART TOUCH control automatically detects the presence
of this sensor, and generates a HW call for heat when the
tank temperature drops 6°F (3°C) below the tank set point,
and finishes the call for heat when the tank temperature
reaches the tank set point.
2. A #100170544 / TST20015 sensor MUST be used with any
indirect tank. Failure to use the correct sensor will result
in the tank temperature being either above or below the
set point. Connect the correct sensor to the Tank Sensor
terminals (see FIG. 7-3).
Louver relay
If louvers need to operate before the boiler fires, they can be
controlled by this output. Connect these terminals to a 24V
relay coil, which is wired to operate the louvers (FIG. 7-3).
Louver proving switch
Louvers are used to provide combustion air for the room air
option. A louver proving switch should be connected to the
appropriate terminals and are verified prior to operation (see
FIG. 7-3).
Boiler pump speed output
This 0 - 10V output is available to control the speed of a variable
speed boiler pump. The SMART TOUCH control will vary the
speed of this pump in order to maintain a minimum T (set
by the installer, see the Crest Service Manual) across the heat
exchanger, as well as prevent high limit lockouts when the flow
in the primary loop is extremely low. Connect this output to the
0 - 10V input on the boiler pump speed control.
Rate output
This output provides a 0 - 10V signal that is proportional to the
firing rate of the boiler. This may be used by a BMS system to
monitor the actual rate of the boiler.

NOTICE
The system supply temperature must be
provided for this feature to work. The
temperature can be sensed directly with
a system supply sensor, or sent through
ModBus/BACnet. This feature is to be used
with primary /secondary piping systems.
NOTICE
See page 19 for special instructions when
common venting Crest boilers.
