• The DHW (Domestic Hot Water) Energy Saver connects to any of the Platinum Internet
controls (RINet) with software version 7.05 or higher to operate a boiler or direct/indirect
water heater and a DHW circulating pump based on two set points. One set point is for the
boiler water and the other is for the return pump.
• The DHW Energy Saver uses two sensors connected to the Platinum RINet (Internet
communication capable control). Aux Temp 0 sensor measures the boiler supply
temperature. Aux Temp 1 sensor measures the domestic recirculation-line return
temperature.
• All the DHW Energy Saver settings are viewable and adjustable through the Platinum
control menus or the Platinum control pages on ICMS website (http://www.htcontrols.com).

• By activating the Supply Sensor feature, the Platinum control will utilize Aux Temp 0 input
as the Supply Sensor.
• By activating the Return Sensor feature, the Platinum control will utilize Aux Temp 1 input
as the Return Sensor.

SUPPLY/RETURN SET POINT
Supply is adjustable from 60°F/16°C to 200F°/93°C Supply Default: 140°F/60°C
Return is adjustable from 60°F/16°C to 200F°/93°C Return Default: 120°F/49°C

• The Supply Set Point is the maximum boiler water temperature the DHW Energy Saver will
try to achieve. The relay will energize whenever the supply temperature drops below this set
point less the differential. See next setting.
• The Return Set Point is the maximum temperature at which the DHW pump relay will
de-energize. The circulating pump relay will energize whenever the return temperature drops
below this set point less the differential. See next setting.

SUPPLY/RETURN PEAK/LIGHT DIFFERENTIAL
Peak is adjustable from 5F°/3C° to 100F°/56C° Peak Default: 10F°/6C°
Light is adjustable from 5F°/3C° to 100F°/56C° Light Default: 20F°/11C°

• Subtract the Differentials from the Set Points to determine the temperature at which the
boiler/water heater or return pump relay will energize.
• The DHW Energy Saver has two independent differentials for each of the supply and return.
The Peak Differential keeps tight control over the supply temperature during heavy usage.
For proper operation, set its value less than the same sensor's Light Differential.
• The Light Differential reduces the control of the temperature during the off-peak periods,
low DHW usage. It allows the boiler or pump relay to turn on for a slightly longer period.
However, due to the reduced usage, the relay will remain off for a much longer period. Its
value must be greater than the same sensor's Peak Differential.
