Low Fire Hold with an RWF55
Introduction
Low fire hold assists in preventing boiler damage from thermal shock. If an RWF55 is the
external load controller with the LMV5, a low fire hold can be easily incorporated. With an
RWF55, a low fire hold is accomplished by breaking the increase load signal to the LMV5. The
wiring and setup for four cases will be described:
• Steam boiler with an RWF55 with analog output
• Hot water boiler with an RWF55 with analog output
• Steam boiler with an RWF55 with 3-position output
• Hot water boiler with an RWF55 with 3-position output
Table 4 describes the six different load controller operating modes in the LMV5.

When executing a low fire hold with the RWF55, either "ExtLC X5-03" or "ExtLC X62" may be
chosen for the LMV5's operating mode. The wiring and setup of the RWF55 differs slightly
depending on the mode selected as shown on the following pages.
