Low maintenance. No moving parts to wear stick or hang up,
as in float devices.
Solid state circuitry. Designed for the highest level of
performance and reliability.
Automatically shuts off burner, after delay, in a low water
condition to prevent dry firing.
Time delay allows water to feed above the probe to a safe
operating level.
INTERMITTENT LEVEL TEST – periodically monitors settled water
level for added protection of today's smaller steam boilers.
