3.0OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BOILER SECTION

Electrically powered steam generators are available with standard boiler controls or ASME CSD-1 compliant controls. In addition to the ON/OFF power switch and indicator pilot light on the standard controls, the CSD-1 controls come with four more indicator pilot lights and a “Reset” switch. Follow the appropriate instructions for each.

Start-up Procedure, Standard Controls

2.Close the manual blowdown valve if the units is not equipped with the optional automatic blowdown valve.

3.Open door of cabinet and turn on Power Switch. Pilot light will come ON and water will begin to enter boiler. Once water level has reached the proper operating level as indicated on water gauge glass the heating elements will be energized and heat the water. When steam pressure has reached 11 psi the elements will de-energize and cycle on and off between 9 - 11 psi. The boiler is now ready for steam generation.
