What am I doing wrong

Paul48

Is it possible that radiator is air-bound?

maybemark

Paul, I did bleed it a while ago, but that is a good possiblity

Gordy

Right

Gordy

You,have,to know the outdoor air temperature to read the table in the manual to know if it's okay.

maybemark

just checked, no air
when you said right, right for the radiator, or right for the sensor?

maybemark

well, i have a thermometer in the kitchen that reads temp outside it reads 24

maybemark

it is on the same wall as the flue, but i seperated them by about 10 feet or so

Gordy

Sensor.

Gordy

Whatcha got?

maybemark

i did not check yet, i was looking in the manual for the numbers, Ill go check now

maybemark

I got 32k on the outdoor sensor

maybemark

in the manual, where is the chart?

maybemark

well?

maybemark

it got up to 70 in the kitchen and still 72 in my bedroom where the stat is

Gordy

Page,35 install manual

maybemark

i found the chart, it's off, but not by alot

maybemark

actually, I think it's right on

maybemark

30* is 34 k
32* is around 32k

maybemark

my kitchen thermometer must be wrong

Paul48

Have you adjusted the valves on the radiators, at all?

Gordy

So is the kitchen thermometer wrong can't go by the sensor. Need an accurate separate thermometer.

maybemark

i don't know what is accurate or bad
but, if you follow the chart, the sensor is right as far as the ohm reading is

maybemark

Paul, I only adjusted the valve of my bedroom, this is where i have the stat, and it did increase the temp in the kitchen and it did not lower the temp in the bedroom
even the living room is warmer, the fan kicked in behind the radiator, and the temp is 69

maybemark

well, it's getting late, I need to walk the dog again,
thanks to all that helped me

maybemark

It's way to hot in my house.
should I turn down the out door reset?
also, I have to move the outside sensor, it's only 3 or 4 feet from the flue

maybemark

the kitchen is almost 72
the living room is 70
the bedroom where the stat is, and i have the valve almost closed is 74

maybemark

I am going to bring the shift reset down, i hope this is the proper way to bring the temp down in my house

Check the Offset and Differential settings under temperature settings for SH1 (assuming you are using SH1 for your call for heat). if these are too narrow (specifically offset) it can cause a high limit shut down before the boiler has a chance to modulate.

can't remember what the defaults are but it is worth checking, Offset cannot be 0 unless it is a very very slow to respond system.

delta T

oh wow, probably disregard my last, didn't realize how many more posts there were. Not sure if mine will be any help until I read of this.

Gordy

What temp is the outdoor sensor reading? This is important before you tweak anything.

maybemark

28, it is too close to the flue, I am moving it now

maybemark

I moved the reset down, before I saw your post, and before i moved the sensor.
I have my coat on, and will be going through 12" of brick

Gordy

Technically if it's colder outside than what is picked up by the sensor your supply temps would be to low, and house would be cooler if the curve is close. So you could shift more.

maybemark

I just drilled the hole about 10 ft from the flue, are you saying don't use it?

maybemark

The window is open upstairs, I guess it way too hot up there, I hope they turned off the valve, he has his g/f there, they sleep late, i don't want to call now
is opening the window bad for all that I am putting into this fine tune?

Gordy

What I was saying last night is the outdoor sensor can not be influenced by solar, and or other heat sources. It needs to be able to give an accurate reading of what the outside temperature really is. Otherwise the reset will be falsely dictating a water temp required to the system.

I'm not there so if flue exhaust is blowing on the sensor it should be moved. I'm sure depending on wind etc. it's not always an issue effecting the sensor IDK.

As for the tenant you may have done him a favor.

maybemark

it's all moved far away from the flue

maybemark

I left it alone for 15 or 20 min.
system 109/109
flame 86%
outside 30
inside 74

maybemark

Where I moved the sensor, not only is it about 10 feet away from flue, but it is hiding behind a downspout

maybemark

my place is so hot now
any suggestions on what I should do?
