CONTROLS

Economaster Controls

The Economaster II is an electronic device that allows

the operator to set the desired time for the pump to run

after the boiler shuts off. The time is factory-set at 7

minutes and it can be re-adjusted in the field anywhere

from 3 to 10 minutes.

In a conventional system, when the aquastat is satis-

fied, the main gas valve closes, but the pump

continues operating. With the energy-conserving

Economaster II the boiler pump is programmed to con-

tinue running for an optimum period of time in order to

absorb the residual heat from the combustion chamber

and use it in the system. The pump then shuts off until

the next call for heat is received from the aquastat.

Electronic Ignition

The intermittent ignition device conserves energy by

automatically extinguishing the pilot when desired

temperature is reached. When additional heat is need-

ed, the pilot re-ignites electrically, eliminating the fuel

costs of maintaining a constant pilot. To ensure safe

operation, the gas valve cannot open until the pilot

relights and is proven.

All units are shipped with lockout ignition module as

standard.

NOTE: Pump will come on when power is first

applied to boiler.

Operating Controls

Modes H1 and H5 - Mechanical Modulation

Models 133-1826 with mechanical modulating controls

have one or more Robertshaw (Invensys) Unitrol 7000

Series hydraulic snap-on thermostatic combination

gas valves. These dual-seat combination valves have

the pressure regulator and 24 volt operator built-in.

The hydraulic actuator will throttle the boiler input to

adjust the firing rate and meet the required load. This,

in effect, prevents costly fuel consumption, as com-

pared to an on-off cycling boiler.

The valve has a remote capillary bulb immersed in a

well, at the header outlet, to maintain a constant outlet

water temperature. When multiple valves are fur-

nished, they can be staged to give greater flexibility of

control. Standard factory setting is at position 5.

Consult the dial setting tag attached to the control for

your desired temperature. See sample tag drawings

below.
