The BCP-8S is the perfect control whenever multiple boilers are required for steam heating applications. The BCP-8S controls the stages to maintain a precise system set point. The BCP-8S’s control PID algorithm allows it to look at the rate of change in the system. If the system oscillation is minimal, the BCP- 8S will make slow and gradual output adjustments. If the load is changing quickly, the BCP-8S can be set to OSS sequencing where it will react based on load changes.

The BCP-8S has multiple operating modes that satisfy most steam systems. It can sequence stages to achieve an adjustable Set P oint. Moreover, when used with the 420MOD Interface (389-900-226) it can accept a 4-20mA signal as a set point. The 420MOD must be purchased separately. This gives the BCP-8S the capability of being controlled remotely. heat, by either closing the TSTAT input or opening the SHUTDOWN input, and when the
