The BCP-8W has multiple operating modes that satisfy most hydronic systems. It can sequence stages to achieve an adjustable Set Point
or an Outdoor Reset Ratio. Moreover, when used with the 420MOD Interface it can accept a 4-20mA signal as a set point. The 420MOD
Interface must be purchased separately. This gives the BCP-8W the capability of being controlled remotely.
