Energizing a pump during service

Is there a way to energize a specific pump? with or without the boiler (KHN) firing? Seems reasonable that there would be a way to energize one or more pumps for service purposes. I'm thinking of an option on the LCD or a jumper on the main board that would energize a specific pump. I'm not seeing it.

I added a power cord to the pump for yesterday's work but I properly wired it back to the boiler when I was finished, and I'd rather not continue with that disconnect/connect/disconnect/connect back-n-forth while I'm tinkering (ie learning/watching how the system behaves under different pump settings).

I'm not using any controls, btw. Everything is connected to the boiler's controls.





DIY'er ... ripped out a perfectly good forced-air furnace and replaced it with hot water & radiators.

    I don't know about the KHN controls, but I'll be adding HOA switches to my pumps using these. When I get enough motivation saved up.

    I used one to switch a Christmas light receptacle, on/off/photocell. Works great!

    Well assuming you have an outdoor sensor hooked up, you could run the system pump by changing its setting to WWSD (warm weather shut down) and adujusting the paramter to ensure it is warm enough out side to trigger the pump, not sure about how to do the dhw and the boiler pump though.
