Mounting Sensor and Thermowell

The remote upper temperature sensor is installed in an
immersion well (Fig. 8) that extends into the supply water
side of the boiler.

Immersion Well Fitting

The immersion well must snugly fit the sensing bulb for
good thermal response. Install as follows:

1. Use tapping provided by tank manufacturer, if pos-

sible, or select an area where typical water temper-
ature is best measured.

2. If tank is filled, drain to below point where bulb will

be installed.

3. Screw well into tank.
4. Insert bulb into well, pushing wires until bulb bot-

toms in well.

5. Attach mounting clamp end of well spud.
6. With mounting clamp attached to well spud (make

sure jaws of clamp hook over ridge at end of spud,
as shown at points A in Fig. 8), adjust sensing lead-
wire to fit through mounting clamp groove, as
shown at point B in Fig. 8.

7. Tighten draw nut until mounting clamp is firmly

attached to well spud and wires are held securely in
place.

CAUTION

Do not secure draw nut so tightly that
mounting clamp collapses tubing.

Wiring

Disconnect power supply before installation to prevent
electrical shock or equipment damage. All wiring must
comply with local codes and ordinances regarding wire
size, type of insulation, enclosure, etc.

OPERATION AND CHECKOUT

Operation

The S9360A, S9361A, S9370A and S9371A continuously
monitor the temperature of the boiler water and enable or
disable the burner based on this temperature data. In
general, when a “Call for Heat” occurs, the ignition portion
of the control module proceeds through the steps
necessary to start the burner and heats the water in the
boiler until the setpoint temperature is achieved. At this
point the burner is de-activated, the ignition module
completes the heating cycle, returns to idle and waits for
the temperature to drop again. The circulator is turned on
throughout the “Call for Heat.”

See Fig. 9 for a graphical representation of a simple
control cycle. Note that the setpoint differential may vary
based on OS number.

High Limit Controller

All models include a 3-wire temperature sensor interface,
“Sensor 1,” which is utilized for High Limit functionality in
addition to the thermostatic control of the water heater
burner. If the temperature sensor ever indicates a
temperature above the maximum limit then the control
enters over temperature mode. In over temperature mode
no heating will occur.
