Introduction
Your Electric Boiler has been designed to exacting speci cations to provide controlled e cient
heating and maximum service life. The boiler is controlled internally by an electronic control
board. The boiler is energized when the external thermostat wired to the control board calls for
heat. The circulation pump is started rst to provide ow through the heating system, then the
heating elements are staged on as required. A temperature sensor mounted in the tank
monitors the water temperature, and the internal control board maintains the temperature of
the water exiting the boiler by modulating the elements on or o as required. The temperature
is set by the aquastat control on the lower le corner of the control board. The modulating
control strategy built into the control board uses only the minimum number of elements
necessary to maintain the desired temperature, resulting in maximum comfort.
