Electro Mechanical - Auxiliary Low Level Cut-Off

This control serves as a safety backup to the main low level cut-off (LLCO) control to meet Cal-Code requirements. The operation of the auxiliary control is identical to the main low level cut-off control but performs a single function: 1) Provide auxiliary low level cut-off protection to shut off the heat source in case the water level drops below the low level cut-off (LLCO) probe. A single LLCO probe identical to the LLCO probe on the main low level cut-off control is connected to the auxiliary control.

The auxiliary control is powered by input voltage (120VAC) on terminals 1 and 2 which also connect to the primary side of the internal transformer. The transformer secondary winding (300 VAC) will provide power to the internal contactor coil through a series path going from one side of the secondary winding, through the contactor coil, through the water level control probe, through the water in the boiler and to the boiler for ground. The other side of the transformer secondary is attached to ground.

When the main power switch is turned ON, the auxiliary low level control is energized but no switching occurs.

When the water level reaches the low level cut-off (LLCO) probe, the internal contactor coil on the low level control is energized, closing the contacts on terminals 7 & 8. The internal contactor coil will remain energized until the water level in the boiler drops below the LLCO probe.

When the boiler stops filling, press the manual reset button on the boiler control box. This closes and locks the manual reset switch contacts to energize the heat source auxiliary control.
