BOILER SECTION
Electrically powered steam generators are available with standard boiler controls or ASME
CSD-1 compliant controls. In addition to the ON/OFF power switch and indicator pilot light
on the standard controls, the CSD-1 controls come with four more indicator pilot lights and a
“Reset” switch. Follow the appropriate instructions for each.
