Freeze Protection should only be disabled when the system con-
tains antifreeze to prevent the system from freezing. Serious dam-
age could occur to the Prestige as well as the entire heating system
if Freeze Protection is disabled without antifreeze in the system.
The Prestige should NEVER be installed in a location where
freezing could occur. Subjecting the Prestige to freezing condi-
tions could lead to freezing of the condensate possibly causing
serious injury or death.
2.16
Frost Protection Setpoint
Default: -22ºF [-30ºC]

sen in CH Demand, continuous CH1 and CH2 heating calls are generated.
Simultaneous CH1 and CH2 calls will result in the Prestige operating at the
highest CH1 or CH2 setpoint. The CH1 or CH2 Thermostat terminals with
the highest setpoint will be used to adjust the setpoint. If the Thermostat
terminals with the highest setpoint are open, the CH setpoint will decrease
by the Parallel Shift Value. If the Thermostat terminals with the highest
setpoint are closed, the CH setpoint will return to the highest CH1 or CH2
setpoint. Press the LEFT or RIGHT buttons to adjust the Parallel Shift
Value then press the OK button to store the setting.
2.18
CH Call Blocking
Default: 2 Minute
CH Call Blocking sets the minimum time between burner firings for
central heating calls. At the completion of a burner firing, the CH Call
Blocking time will begin. The burner will not fire again until after the
CH Call Blocking time has elapsed. The CH Call Blocking time only
prevents the burner from firing, the central heating circulators will
respond to a central heating call. This blocking time has no affect on
domestic hot water calls. The CH Call Blocking feature prevents short
cycling of the burner and extends the life of the burner components.
Press the LEFT or RIGHT buttons to adjust the CH Call Blocking
time then press the OK button to store the setting.

will end when the DHW storage temperature rises above the DHW
Setpoint. Press the LEFT or RIGHT buttons to adjust the DHW On
Differential then press the OK button to store the setting.
The DHW On Differential setting greatly affects the production
of domestic hot water. A low setting could result in a rapid
response to a domestic hot water call resulting in a potential
scald hazard. It is strongly recommended that the installer uti-
lize a thermostatic mixing valve on the hot water outlet of the
Indirect Water Heater. Failure to comply could result in severe
personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

DHW Post Pump Time
Default: 2 Minute
DHW Post Pump Time sets how long the circulators configured for
domestic hot water calls in Pump Settings will continue to operate at the
completion of a domestic hot water call. The DHW Post Pump feature
allows the heat remaining in the boiler at the completion of a call to be
sent to the Indirect Water Heater, which will improve the overall effi-
ciency of the system. Press the LEFT or RIGHT buttons to adjust the
DHW Post Pump Time then press the OK button to store the setting.
3.9
DHW Priority Timeout
Default: Off
DHW Priority Timeout allows the installer to enter an optional time limit
that a domestic hot water call has priority over a central heating call when
DHW Priority is set to Enabled. Press the LEFT or RIGHT buttons to
adjust the DHW Priority Timeout then press the OK button to store the
setting.

DHW Priority
Default: Enabled
DHW Priority allows the domestic hot water priority function to be
enabled and disabled. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to select Enabled
or Disabled then press the OK button to store the setting.
•
Enabled- Domestic hot water calls will have priority over a central
heating call. The boiler setpoint will be set to the domestic hot
water setpoint during a domestic hot water call. The DHW circu-
lator will be enabled and the heating circulators will be disabled
during a domestic hot water call.
•
Disabled - Domestic hot water calls will not have priority over a
central heating call. The boiler setpoint will be set to the domestic
hot water setpoint when only a domestic hot water call is present.

taneous domestic hot water and central heating calls are present. The
DHW circulator will be enabled during a domestic hot water call.
The heating circulators will be enabled during a central heating call.
Simultaneous domestic hot water and central heating calls will
result in the PRESTIGE operating at the highest target temper-
ature when DHW Priority is set to Disabled. The use of a mixing
device on the lower temperature zones may be required to pro-
tect the lower temperature zones from damage.
DHW Priority should only be set to Disabled when Prestige
Model is set to Solo. Setting DHW Priority to Disabled when
Prestige Model is set to Excellence will not disable DHW
Priority.
3.11
DHW Call Blocking
Default: 0 Minute
DHW Call Blocking sets the minimum time between burner firings for
domestic hot water calls. At the completion of a burner firing, the DHW
Call Blocking time will begin. The burner will not fire again until after the
DHW Call Blocking time has elapsed. The DHW Call Blocking time only
prevents the burner from firing, the circulators configured for domestic hot
water calls in Pump Settings will respond to a domestic hot water call.
This blocking time has no affect on central heating calls. The DHW Call
Blocking feature prevents short cycling of the burner and extends the life
of the burner components. Press the LEFT or RIGHT buttons to adjust
the DHW Call Blocking time then press the OK button to store the setting.
3.12
DHW To CH Call Blocking
Default: 1 Minute
DHW To CH Call Blocking sets the minimum time between a DHW burn-
er firing and a CH burner firing. At the completion of a DHW burner fir-
ing, the DHW to CH Call Blocking time will begin. The burner will not
fire again for a central heating call until after the DHW To CH Call
Blocking time has elapsed. The DHW To CH Call Blocking time only pre-
vents the burner from firing, the circulators configured for central heating
calls in Pump Settings will respond to a central heating call. This blocking
time has no affect on domestic hot water calls. The DHW To CH Call
Blocking feature prevents the burner from firing when switching from a
domestic hot water call to a central heating call. This allows the remaining
heat in the heat exchanger to be dissipated and potentially satisfy the cen-
tral heating call. Press the LEFT or RIGHT buttons to adjust the DHW
To CH Call Blocking time then press the OK button to store the setting.

The Antilegionella Function ensures that an Indirect Water Heater is heat-
ed at least once per week to prevent the growth of Legionella bacteria.
Press the UP or DOWN buttons to select Enabled or Disabled then press
the OK button to store the setting.
•
Enabled- When the Thermostat option is chosen in DHW Demand,
a domestic hot water call is generated for 15 minutes once per week
to heat the Indirect Water Heater. When the Sensor option is cho-
sen in DHW Demand, a domestic hot water call is generated until
the DHW storage temperature reaches 140°F [60°C] once per
week. When the Sensor option is chosen in DHW Demand, the
weekly timer is reset whenever the DHW storage temperature
reaches 140°F [60°C] to prevent unnecessary firings. This function
will be active even if DHW Operation has been set to Disabled.
•
Disabled - The Prestige will only fire in DHW mode when a
domestic hot water call is received.
The Antilegionella Function should only be left enabled when
an Indirect Water Heater is installed. Enabling the
Antilegionella Function without an Indirect Water Heater will
result in the Prestige firing once per week in DHW mode. This
could cause a Manual Reset Hard Lockout resulting in sub-
stantial property damage.
The Antilegionella Function is most effective when the Sensor
option is chosen in DHW Demand. The use of an Indirect
Water Heater Sensor ensures that the domestic hot water is
heated to 140°F [60°C] at least once per week.

Cascade Operating Information
The ACVMax Boiler Management System includes a Cascade function which allows multiple Prestige
boilers to operate together without the need for an external controller. One Prestige will be selected as
the Master and will be wired to accept all the low voltage control signals. The other Prestige boilers will
be designated as Slaves and will only have a communication cable connecting them to the other boilers
in the Cascade System.
•
The Cascade function allows up to six identical Prestige boilers to operate together in a single
heating system.
•
Parallel Modulation fires as many boilers as possible to maximize system efficiency.
•
Lead Stage Automatic Rotation rotates the lead boiler to ensure even wear on each boiler in the
Cascade System. This function can be disabled by the Automatic Rotation Setting.
The Cascade Menu is divided into three sections
1. Cascade Information
– Provides real time operating information of the Cascade System.
See page 50.
2. Cascade Settings
– Allows the installer to adjust the Cascade System settings for the appli-
cation. See pages 51 through 56.
3. Cascade Autodetection
– Automatically finds and configures each boiler of the Cascade
System. See page 42.

Standard Cascade installations will utilize a balanced manifold system as
the primary / secondary connection to the system piping as shown in
Figure 21 on page 44 or a reverse return piping arrangement as shown in
Figure 23 on page 46. Split Cascade installations will utilize a balanced
manifold system as the primary / secondary connection to the central heat-
ing loop. Each boiler configured to respond to a domestic hot water call
will also have a direct connection to the indirect water heater as shown in
Figure 25 on page 48. Reference the Prestige Installation and
Maintenance Manual for general boiler installation and piping require-
ments.

Cascade operation requires a System Temperature Sensor to be installed
on the common supply header downstream of all boilers in the system.
Place the System Temperature Sensor within 10’ of the last boiler in the
Cascade System for an accurate temperature reading. Proper placement
and installation of the System Temperature Sensor is critical for reliable
cascade operation. The type of System Temperature Sensor chosen also
greatly affects the accuracy of the system temperature readings.
Three types of System Temperature Sensor are available:
•
Direct Immersion - A direct immersion temperature sensor
(MDRKIT05) is the recommended type since it will provide the
most accurate water temperature readings. Install the 1/2” NPT
direct immersion temperature sensor in a tee on the common sup-
ply header downstream of all boilers in the system. Ensure that the
temperature sensor probe is directly in the water flow but not touch-
ing the opposite side of the tee. Wire the sensor to terminals 3 & 4
of X5 on the control module of the Master boiler.
•
Dry Well Installation – A temperature sensor (PSRKIT22) installed
in a dry well will measure up to 10°F [5°C] lower than the actual
water temperature. All water setpoints must be lowered at the
Master boiler by 10°F [5°C] from the desired setpoints for reliable
Cascade operation. Install a 3/8”ID drywell in the common supply
header downstream of all boilers in the system. The drywell should
be long enough to be directly in the water flow for the most accu-
rate temperature reading. Insert the temperature sensor into the
well and wire to terminals 3 & 4 of X5 on the control module of the
Master boiler.
•
Pipe Mounted Installation – A temperature sensor (PTSENS12)
mounted to the outside of the pipe will measure up to 20°F [11°C]
lower than the actual water temperature. All water setpoints must
be lowered at the Master boiler by 20°F [11°C] from the desired set-
points for reliable Cascade operation. The Pipe Mounted tempera-
ture sensor can be directly strapped to the outside of a 1” to 3”
metallic pipe. Install the temperature sensor as follows:

1. Remove the white plastic cover from the sensor
2. Cut a small slit in the gasket seal on the end of the sensor.
3. Route 18 AWG 2-wire cable or similar cable through the seal gas-
ket into the enclosure.
4. Push down on the orange wire terminal retainers to insert the
wires into the sensor terminals. Release the orange wire terminal
retainers and confirm that the wires are firmly attached to the sen-
sor terminals.
5. Select a location for the sensor on the common supply header
downstream of all boilers in the system. Clean the pipe with fine
sandpaper or emery cloth to ensure the pipe is clean and sensor
will make good contact with the pipe.
6. Press the white cover onto the sensor and strap the sensor to the
pipe using the included wire tie.
7. Wire the sensor to terminals 3 & 4 of X5 on the control module
of the Master boiler.
7.3.3
Cascade Communication Cable
•
A communication cable PACAB01 must be installed between each
boiler in the Cascade System. The cable has a 4 pin molex connec-
tor on one end and a 6 pin molex connector on the other end. The 4
pin molex connector plugs into the Cascade Master X16 connector
on the control module of the Master boiler or prior Slave boiler in
cascades of three or more boilers. The 6 pin molex connector plugs
into the Cascade Slave connector of the Slave boiler. Reference
Figures 22, 24 and 26 on pages 45, 47 and 49 for wiring details.
7.3.4
Low Voltage Wiring Connections
•
Thermostat Wiring – CH1 and CH2 calls must be wired into the
Cascade Master.
•
Outdoor Sensor Wiring – The outdoor temperature sensor must be
wired into the Cascade Master.
•
Domestic Hot Water Wiring – A DHW call must be wired into the
Cascade Master.
•
Additional Boiler Limits – Boiler Limits must be wired into each
boiler in the Cascade System. When a boiler limit opens, that par-
ticular boiler will lockout and will be removed from Cascade System
operation. The other boilers in the Cascade System will continue to
operate if they are not in a lockout.
•
External Modulation Control – An External Modulation Signal must be
wired into the Cascade Master. The modulation signal will control the
firing rate of the entire Cascade System, not just the Cascade Master.
•
Modbus Wiring – A building management system (BMS) connection
must be wired into the Cascade Master to obtain cascade system and
Master boiler information.
2015-10 Prestige ACVMax Control Sup 12-14-15_ACVMax_Control 12/15/15 7:37 AM Page 41
Line Voltage Wiring Connections
•
Circulator Wiring - Reference Figures 22, 24 and 26 on pages 45, 47
and 49 for circulator wiring required for each type of Cascade System.
The circulator connections used will depend on the systems piping
layout.
All circulators are powered from a common 5A fuse located on the con-
trol module. The total combined amp draw of the all circulators must
not exceed 5 amps at any time. Use an isolation relay to lower the total
combined amp draw if exceeding this limits.
•
Power Supply – A dedicated 120 VAC / 15A minimum service must
be used to power the boilers in the Cascade System. Multiple boil-
ers in the Cascade System can be placed on the same electrical cir-
cuit. Each boiler can draw a maximum of 8 amps.
•
Alarm Wiring – The alarm contact closes whenever that particular
Prestige is in a condition set by the Error Relay Setting. The alarm
contact will also close on the Master boiler when any of the Slave
boilers are locked in a condition set by the Error Relay setting.
7.3.6
Cascade Autodetection
7.3.6.1 Navigation:
Home Screen>Installer Menu>Cascade>Cascade Autodetection
The Cascade System must be configured after wiring is completed and
any required adjustments are made in Cascade Settings. The Cascade
Autodetection function automatically finds and configures all boilers in
the Cascade System. This eliminates the need to manually configure
each boiler of the Cascade System. Select Cascade Autodetection on
the Master boiler then follow the onscreen instructions to perform
Cascade Autodetection. Once Cascade Autodetection is finished, a
message will be displayed indicating how many boilers have been
found. If the number of boilers found is correct, press OK to finish
Cascade Autodetection. If the number of boilers found is not correct,
check the cascade communication cables between the boilers and
repeat Cascade Autodetection.

7.5.2
Stage Delay
Default: 60 Seconds
Stage Delay sets the time delay before enabling or disabling a boiler in the
Cascade System. The Stage Delay begins once the Master boiler determines that
a boiler must be enabled to reach the setpoint or when the Master boiler deter-
mines a boiler should be disabled because of a decreasing load. Press the LEFT
or RIGHT buttons to adjust the Stage Delay then press the OK button to store
the setting. Adjusting the Stage Delay will have the following effects:
•
Increase Stage Delay
-
Reaching the setpoint could take longer due to a longer delay
between enabling boilers.
-
Overshooting the setpoint could occur due to boilers staying on
longer before being disabled.
•
Decrease Stage Delay
-
Overshooting the setpoint could occur due to boilers being
enabled quicker.
-
Boilers will be disabled quicker, possibly increasing boiler
cycling and decreasing runtimes.
7.5.3
Minimum Firing Rate
Default: 25%
Minimum Firing Rate is the minimum firing rate of a single boiler in the Cascade
System. The Master boiler uses this setting to determine when boilers can be
enabled and disabled. Setting the Minimum Firing Rate below the recommend-
ed minimum will result in boilers being enabled too quickly which may cause
sharp increases in temperature from the Cascade System. Setting the Minimum
Firing Rate above the recommended minimum will delay the enabling of boilers
which may lower the system efficiency. Press the LEFT or RIGHT buttons to
adjust the Minimum Firing Rate then press the OKbutton to store the setting. For
the minimum and maximum recommended settings refer to Table 6 on page 52.

Boiler Enabling Algorithm
The Master boiler uses the following algorithm to determine when the next
boiler can be enabled:
Once the currently fired boilers reach the calculated firing rate, the next
boiler can be enabled without affecting the overall cascade firing rate. For
example, the calculation for a Cascade System consisting of two PRES-
TIGE Solo 399s would be:
Once the first PRESTIGE Solo 399 firing rate reaches 50%, the second
PRESTIGE Solo 399 can be enabled. Both will then fire at the minimum
25% firing rate so that the overall output from the Cascade System remains
the same.
7.5.5
Boiler Disabling Algorithm
Once the firing rate of all currently fired boilers decreases to the Minimum
Firing Rate, a boiler can be disabled. The boilers which continue to fire
will increase their firing rate if required to replace the output of the dis-
abled boiler.
Stable cascade operation requires that all boilers in a Cascade System
be the same size. Mixing boiler sizes in a Cascade System could lead
to temperature fluctuations and erratic cascade operation.
7.5.6
Maximum Firing Rate
Default: 398 MBH
Maximum Firing Rate is the maximum firing rate of a single boiler in the

The CH/DHW Boilers setting specifies how many boilers in a Split
Cascade System will respond to a domestic hot water call. The CH/DHW
Boilers always begins with the Master boiler. The remaining boilers of
the Cascade System will only respond to central heating calls. This
allows the Cascade System to satisfy both central heating and domestic
hot water calls at the same time. At the completion of a domestic hot
water call, the CH/DHW Boilers will again be available to respond to
central heating calls. Press the LEFT or RIGHT buttons to adjust the
CH/DHW Boilers setting then press the OK button to store the setting.
Splitting the Cascade System into CH only and CH/DHW boilers
requires the boilers to be piped as shown in Figure 25 on page 48.
The CH/DHW boilers must be piped to both CH and DHW loads
directly for proper operation.
DHW Priority must be set to Enabled in DHW Settings of the
Cascade Master for proper operation.
All CH/DHW Boilers will respond to a domestic hot water call. It is
important that the domestic load is capable of transferring all of the
heat generated to prevent excessive boiler cycling.
