SETTING AND CHECKOUT

SET CONTROL TEMPERATURE
If the potentiometer is mounted on the control module,
turn the selector knob to the desired temperature.
If the potentiometer is remotely mounted, the position of
the flat part of the shaft determines the approximate control
temperature. Fully counterclockwise
the shaft is towards you is the minimum setting. Fully
clockwise
rotation is the maximum setting. Actual
temperature range depends on the control module and the
potentiometer selected. See Fig. 11.
CHECKOUT
Set the L8104 above water temperature and observe the
system through one complete cycle. Make sure system
operates as desired.
To check the thermistor or thermistor/ECO assembly,
compare its resistance as measured by an ohmmeter to the
water temperature as measured by an accurate thermom-
eter. Thermistor resistance increases as the temperature
falls. See Table 1 or 2 for the correct sensor resistance at
various temperatures.
