properly into the well.

For best control performance it is recommended that the existing well be replaced with a well shown on page 3. However, by using the heat conductive grease supplied in tube, these controls will give satisfactory performance when used with larger-diameter existing wells of many controls.

Use of adaptor requires that the existing immersion well be equipped with a set screw. After removing old control, install new one as follows:

1.Remove cover and loosen two screws holding well clamp.

2.Fit capillary into slot in adaptor and push adaptor snugly into opening in back of case so adaptor flange fits between well clamp and case. Then tighten well clamp screws evenly and securely.

3.Apply heat conductive grease (supplied in tube) to fill void between bulb and well.

4.Insert bulb into existing well, forming capillary so bulb contacts bottom and side of well. Attach control to well by tightening set screw securely. (Be sure set screw is not directly above slot in well adaptor before tightening.)

WIRING AND OPERATION

All wiring should be done in accordance with local and national electrical codes and ordinances.

The diagram below shows wiring connections for a typical oil-fired installation. Operation is as follows:

When the room thermostat is not calling for heat, the low limit-circulator control operates the burner motor as necessary to maintain the domestic hot water supply at the desired temperature (burner “on” when R-B contacts are closed).

If boiler temperature exceeds the setting of the high limit, the burner motor stops. If thermostat is calling for heat, the circulator continues to run.

The burner starts as the No. 1 Relay Contacts close. If the N R-W contacts of the low limit-circulator control are closed, the circulator motor also starts as the No. 2 Relay Contacts close. If the R-W contacts open while the thermostat is calling for heat, the circulator motor stops but the burner stays on.

When the room thermostat is satisfied, the circulator motor stops as the No. 2 Relay Contacts open. The burner motor also stops as the No. 1 Relay Contacts open, unless the R-B contacts of the low limit-circulator
