Required if the boiler or the combi boiler does not have control of the pump
Optional: 'G' for fan-only operation and 'C' for t-stat common
Dry contact from the air handler to the boiler or combi boiler that enables a call for heat
The reversing valve operation is selectable with the AHU app: the default setting
energizes the O/B terminal during cooling
Required: the outdoor sensor for balance point control of backup heat source is available
separately as IBC outdoor sensor kit P-9067.
Required: sensors for cooling applications are available separately as IBC A/C sensor kit
P-1015
Required: if outdoor unit requires a dry contact; typical of bonded controls. Check your
outdoor unit installation manual.

2.8.0.1 Tankless Mode
Tankless Mode should always and only be chosen when a tankless water heater is a heat source.
Tankless mode recognizes that when DHW is being drawn the water heater is in effect temporarily
unavailable, so reduces the fan speed when outlet temperature drops.
