Function
If the power draw of the control circuit exceeds approximately 5 amps, the circuit breaker
trips and prevents the boiler from powering until circuit breaker is reset.
If this switch is in the off position, power is interrupted to the control circuit of the boiler
which prevents the boiler from operating. If the switch is in the on position, power is sup-
plied to the control circuit.
If the boiler water temperature exceeds the adjustable set point, power is interrupted to the
control circuit of the boiler which prevents the boiler from operating. When the boiler water
temperature drops below the set point minus the adjustable differential setting, power is
again supplied to the control circuit.
If the boiler water temperature exceeds the adjustable set point, power is interrupted to the
control circuit of the boiler which prevents the boiler from operating. Power is interrupted
until the control is manually reset by pressing the control's reset button. When the button is
depressed, power will again be supplied to the control circuit.
If the water flow through the boiler drops below the fixed flow rate required to move the
control's paddle enough to close the controls contacts, power is interrupted to the control
circut, which prevents the boiler from operating. When the water flow rate is increased, the
paddle closes the control's contacts and power is supplied to the control circuit.
If the pressure inside the appliance exceeds the fixed set point, the valve opens mechani-
cally and discharges water. The valve remains open until the pressure inside the appliance
drops below the set point.
If the temperature in the interior of the burner exceeds the fixed set point, the contacts of
the switch open and power is interrupted to the control circuit which prevents the boiler
from operating. Power is interrupted until the switch is replaced.
If the temperature in the interior of the vestibule enclosure exceeds the fixed set point, the
contacts of the switch open and power is interrupted to the control circuit which prevents
the boiler from operating. Power is interrupted until the switch is replaced.
If the gas pressure reaches a point below the adjustable set point, or above the adjustable
set point, the contacts of the switch open and power is interrupted to the control circuit
which prevents the boiler from operating. Power is interrupted until gas pressure is be-
tween the high and low set points and the control is manually reset by moving the switch
to the reset position. The switches will not reset until the gas pressure is within the set
point parameters.
If the differential air pressure drops below the fixed set point, the contacts of the switch
open and power is interrupted to the control circuit, which prevents the boiler from operat-
ing. Power is interrupted until air flow increases so that the contacts close.
Refer to the manual supplied with the boiler.
The variable frequency drive's primary function is to vary the rotational speed of the blower
fan based on the air requirements of the boiler combustion process. The VFD is used for
Modulating boilers. The VFD responds to a 4-20 mA signal from the Digital Temperature
Controller.
The microprocessor based temperature controller is used on all modulating boilers. The
controller's basic function is to control the firing rate of the boiler based on the difference
between the bulk boiler water temperature and the controller's set-point. The controller
also has the ability to change the operating set-point based on an external signal (contact
closure for reduced demand setting or outdoor reset.)
