A Watts Water Technologies Company
Multi-Staging
A Flexible Solution for Commercial & Multi-Residential Heating Plants
The Boiler Control 284 is designed to operate up to four
boilers to accurately maintain a target water temperature.
The 284 operates both condensing & non-condensing boilers
that are either modulating, single stage or two stage to
provide a flexible, cost effective mixed boiler plant solution
with better system performance.
The target water temperature is based on outdoor temperature
reset or a fixed setpoint for space or process heating
applications. Additional loads supplied by the 284 include
domestic hot water & fixed setpoint heating. Boiler equal
run-time rotation, stand-by primary pump operation & pump
exercising all increase boiler plant reliability.
The 284 communicates with a Building Automation System
(BAS) using BACnet

for remote monitoring
& adjustment capability. tekmarNet

Thermostats or a tN4
Gateway 483 can be added to optimize system performance
& provide remote monitoring capability.
