7.3 BST Implementation Instruction
There are 8 BST implementation options, described below. The instructions for each refer to I/O
board connections on the Benchmark boilers, as described in Section 2.11.1 of Benchmark
Platinum-Edge: INSTALLATION Manual (OMM-0136, GF-210).
All instructions in the sections below refer to one or more of the following components:
• Modbus Transmitter, either:
o P/N 24444-1 includes PT1000 Header Temp Sensor P/N 61058.
o P/N 24444-3 includes PT1000 Header Temp Sensor P/N 61058, box and power supply.
• Header Temp Sensor: P/N 69195 (was 24410)
• Outdoor Temp Sensor: P/N 61048
7.3.1 Option 1 Constant Setpoint: Direct Wired Header Temp Sensor
OPTION 1 Instructions: Constant Setpoint with Direct Wired Header Temp Sensor
Step 1: HEADER TEMP SENSOR WIRING – BST MANAGER Unit
1. On the BST Manager unit, connect the Header Temp Sensor to the I/O board terminal
strip J3, terminals 4 (Supply Header +) and 5 (Supply Header –).
2. Ground the shield to any Shield terminal on the I/O board, such as terminal 3 or 8.
NOTES:
• The Header Temp Sensor must be installed between 2 and 10 feet (0.61 and 3.1m)
downstream of the LAST boiler in the plant’s supply water header.
• Shielded pair 18 - 22 AWG cable is recommended for Header Temp Sensor wiring.
There is no polarity to be observed.
• The ground for the shield is at the Shield terminal on the I/O the board. The sensor end
of the shield must be left free and ungrounded.
Step 2: OPTION 1 CONFIGURATION
On All Boiler:
1. Go to: Main Menu → Advanced Setup → BST Cascade → Cascade Configuration:
• Set the Unit Mode parameter to BST Client.
2. Go to: Main Menu → Advanced Setup → BST Cascade → Cascade Communication:
• Set the Unit Address parameter to the communication address of the unit.
