JC-43D2 3-Element Drum Level Controller
Installation & Operation Instructions
The JC-43D2 3-Element Drum Level Controller maintains a boilers drum
level at setpoint by modulating a 4-20 mA control output with a user
selectable 1-element, 2-element, or 3-element PID loop.
The JC-43D2 can be configured for an alternate offline setpoint mode to
account for sink and swell in the boiler drum as the boiler transitions
between online and offline. A user-configured warmup and cooldown
delay keeps the PID from modulating until the boiler is making steam,
and also allows the control valve to continue modulation for a time period
after the boiler is shutdown.
The JC-43D2 can be wired to interface with the burner control to
shutdown the burner in the case of a low drum level or high steam
pressure condition in addition to external level and pressure switches.
