NOTICE
A system supply sensor (factory supplied) MUST BE installed for proper boiler operation.
Table 5C Multiple Boilers - Common Header - Primary / Secondary Flow
System flow should always remain higher than the required flow for the boiler(s) when the boiler(s) is in
operation to prevent short cycling and high limit issues.
