When the boiler supplies two rooms, the rooms operate identically but independently. Only one room will be described here. The T100 is the thermostat, controlling the steam bath temperature. Refer to Amerec doc. 4209-53 for the detailed T100 operating instructions.
AI SERIES STEAM BOILER WITH T100 CONTROL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (continued) The optional electronic Autodrain valve is normally closed, opening only when power is supplied by a Drain Clock or by the ELECTRONIC DRAIN switch to start drain/blowdown. When the Autodrain valve is opened, the DRAIN VALVE OPEN light will turn on. Normal operation is controlled by a clock: use the ELECTRONIC DRAIN switch to open the drain without resetting the clock.
AI SERIES STEAM BOILER WITH T100 CONTROL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BLOWDOWN/AUTODRAIN (continued) Failure to properly maintain the boiler can cause equipment failure and may void the warranty. Using the Autodrain requires setting its clock or using the manual ELECTRONIC DRAIN switch on the boiler’s switch panel. Set the Drain Clock’s tabs inward (so orange is showing) for the time of day you wish the boiler to drain.
