  • Page 11: Pre-Operation Check

    11 12 Cabinet Exterior Left Side Panel Layout After proper wiring and piping of boiler system is complete, testing of controls can start. Before testing controls, it is recommended that all contactor fusing be removed. This is to prevent possible element failure under test conditions.
  • Page 12: Operation

    ADJUSTING OPERATING PRESSURE CONTROLS 1. Chromalox boilers are supplied with operating and high limit pres- sure controls. One is used for controlling the operating pressure of the boiler while the other is used as a high limit control. To deter- mine the difference in the controls, the high limit has a manual reset lever on top of the case.
  • Page 13: Automatic Blowdown Instructions

    If the boiler is on 24-hour duty, set the OFF tab for the time that is desired for blowdown. the ON tab can be ignored, but must remain on timer.
  • Page 14 SCR and, in turn energize the control relay. As the water level in the boiler drops below the level of the probe, the AC current is broken and the control relay is de-energized. The control will not energize until sufficient water is present in the boiler.
  • Page 15 Solid State Progressive Sequencer The solid state progressive sequencer provides accurate elec- tronic control of multi-stage loads of the type used in Chromalox steam boilers. It features progressive sequencing (first on-first off) which equalizes the operating time of each load. This control gives visual indication of each energized stage by means of integral solid state light emitting diodes.

    Range accordance with local and national electrical codes. Refer to boil- er instruction for manual wiring diagram. 0-100 psi 5. If pump is located less than 30 feet from boiler, a second check valve is required. Pump Motor Dimensions Assembly Model No.
  • Page 17: Maintenance

    Installation Wiring A. Check the voltage of the motor before making the wiring connec- tion. Some Chromalox boilers are supplied with dual voltage sys- tems. The motor should always match the voltage of the control circuit. B. The motor circuit should be wired into the pump control located on the boiler.
