ELECTRO-BOILER
INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
APPLICATION:
This Electro-Boiler series is factory equipped with outlet temperature sensing and
a smart controller which automatically stages the various elements to operate at
the field preset outlet temperature.
Primary application is any hydronic water heating system where reduced flow or
radiation can cause overheat conditions (example, zones). However, if it is a
mixture of large and small zones, the sudden capacity and flow changes may
cause some internal timing/overtemp conditions. With the mixture of zones the
zone controller ZTS-* option is highly recommended (see page 2).
This series is equipped for load management interrupt and can apply to standard
baseboard radiation, dual heat combinations, under floor radiant, wood boiler
supplement, etc.
ACCESSORIES:
Attached BL001 lists various accessory or option items which are not part of
basic Electro-Boiler. Also page 3 has additional information on slab stat. Page 2
gives information on a zone control update module which stages elements based
upon zone capacity.
Note:
This product meets the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Code.

Page 3: Introduction
INTRODUCTION With this temperature sensing controller capability, the electric heating element stages are automatically turned on and off to establish a fixed outlet water temperature. This outlet temperature is sensed at the outlet pipe, the controller regulates four stages, and attempts to control the water temperature at a value determined by the setup arrangements. -

Prevents over control or false staging up and down when the temperature sensors are attempting to regulate – since Electro Industries’ zone controller also has staging “smarts”, the addition of the zone controller will provide smoother boiler temperature control. The zone board has a dial switch for each... -

7. If this is a dual heat application with standby boiler, optional kit EB-S-SB contains its own wiring instructions. 8. Remote Display – an optional remote display (4-wire stat cable) can be added, call factory for details. Also requires main board upgrade, @EBSTW5623. WATER ADDITIVES Unless the source water is unusually poor and/or rust elements, additives are not required. -
Page 12: Controller Setup
CONTROLLER SETUP Temperature set point – the front red “knob” allows for field or user setting of the outlet water temperature. The built-in sensor and controller will attempt to regulate the electric element stages around this set temperature. The smallest staging increment is 4.5 kW; therefore, there will some fluctuation around this set point. -

TROUBLESHOOTING/REPAIR HELPS 1. This temp. sensing controller contains several interference suppression components, but as an electronic logic product, unpredictable and unusual transients or interference may sometimes cause strange results. If the temp. sensing controller is “acting strange”, one immediate step would be power down reset. -
