installation, and maintenance of plumbing, steam, and electrical equipment and/or systems
in accordance with all applicable codes and ordinances.
• To prevent flooding, do not use manual reset models with electric automatic water feeders.
• Boiler water pH levels above 10.0 may interfere with proper operation of the low water cut-off.
Levels above 10.0 must be corrected in order to ensure proper operation of the low water cut-off.
Failure to follow this warning may result in property damage, personal injury or death.
• To prevent electrical shock, turn off the electrical power before making electrical connections.
• This low water cut-off must be installed in series with all other limit and operating controls
installed on the boiler. After installation, check for proper operation of all of the limit and
operating controls, before leaving the site.
• We recommend that secondary (redundant) Low Water Cut-Off controls be installed on all
steam boilers with heat input greater than 400,000 BTU/hour or operating above 15 psi of
steam pressure. At least two controls should be connected in series with the burner control
circuit to provide safety redundancy protection should the boiler experience a low water
condition. Moreover, at each annual outage, the low water cut-offs should be dismantled,
inspected, cleaned, and checked for proper calibration and performance.
• When installing jumper wire make sure you are not introducing a second voltage source
into the burner circuit and thereby bypassing other safety, limit, and operating controls.
Failure to follow this warning could cause property damage, personal injury or death.

Rotate the control housing (G) 20˚ counter-clockwise so that the slots in the control base are firmly under the screw heads.
  • Page 5 Remote Mounted Probe c. Connect the probe (A) to the wiring circuit by: Connecting a suitable 16 AWG wire (not provided) to the threaded end (V) of the probe (A). Place the lockwasher (K) and wing nut (L) (provided) over the threaded end of the probe and tighten the wing nut to 1/2 ft•lb (.65 N•m).
  • Page 6 STEP 4 - Control Wiring (continued) d. For all wire connections to the terminal block (M). 1.Strip about 1/3" (8.5 mm) of insulation from the wire. 2.Loosen the terminal screw (N) but DO NOT REMOVE. Move the wire clamping plate (P) back until the plate touches the back side of the screw head.
