- No pin engagement

f

- As the probe is inserted, it comes in contact with the clip opening

and there is some slight resistance (tactile feedback). Continue

pushing probe which forces pin to slide further into the clip.

g

- Complete engagement. Pin will “bottom-out” into the end of the

thermowell.

Test the Low Water Cut-off (LWCO)

Safety Function

WARNING! Electric Shock Hazard. Avoid touching

or shorting the live terminals during this test.

Integrated Unit Version:

Turn electric power ON to energize AquaSmart control.

Perform the following tests to verify the LWCO function.

For AquaSmart 7600A: Remove the green sensor

lead from the ground screw. The sensor should cause

the AquaSmart display to indicate, “LOCKOUT – LOW

WATER”. If it does not, replace the sensor.

For AquaSmart 7600B: Remove the green sensor

lead from the ground screw and remove both the B1

and B2 (24 Vac) leads from their terminals. The sensor

should cause the AquaSmart display to indicate,

“LOCKOUT – LOW WATER”. If it does not, replace the

sensor.

○ Attach wires and tighten terminal screws securely when

testing is complete.

Replaceable Version:

1. Turn electric power ON to energize AquaSmart

control. Perform the following tests to verify the

LWCO function.

2. Pull the sensor probe partially out of the sensor

thermowell to disengage the pin from the clip inside

the tube (see

Figure 7). you should feel it when the

pin disengages. The sensor should cause the

AquaSmart display to indicate, “LOCKOUT - LOW

WATER” after the LWCO Off Delay times out.. If it

does not, replace the sensor.

3. Once testing is completed, fully insert the sensor probe

into the thermowell so that the pin in fully engaged in

the clip.

Circuit

The AquaSmart 2-in-1 Sensor uses the

“conduction” method to detect whether water is

present in the boiler. This is done by using the

water in the boiler itself to “conduct” a signal and

complete an electrical circuit. It is necessary

that the ground wire from the sensor be bonded

to the boiler wall (not the jacket - unless the

jacket is bonded to the boiler wall). When water

is not present, there is no “conduction” and the

circuit is incomplete.

For the AquaSmart we recommend that a

grounding pipe clamp be mounted to the water

inlet pipe, and that a ground wire be bonded

from the pipe clamp to the green terminal inside

the AquaSmart control. The 2-in-1 sensor green

“ground wire” shall also be bonded to the green

terminal in the AquaSmart control.
