INSTALLATION

When Installing This Product...

1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them

could damage the product or cause a hazardous

condition.

2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the

product to make sure the product is suitable for your

application.

3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service

technician.

4. After installation is complete, check out product

operation as provided in these instructions.

CAUTION

Disconnect power supply before wiring to avoid

electrical shock or equipment damage.

Terminal connections must be inside an enclosure

that meets local electrical codes.

Location

The equipment manufacturer generally provides a tapping for

insertion of the temperature controller sensing element. The

tapping should be located at a point where average system

temperature will be measured. Never locate the sensing

element close to a hot or cold water inlet or a steam coil, or

where the well’s pressure rating will be exceeded.

Turn off power and, if the system is filled, drain to a point below

the boiler tapping or wherever the sensing element is to be

located. If no tapping is provided, prepare one, properly

threaded, at the desired location.

If this is a remote bulb unit, the controller case can be mounted

in a panel or, with the optional bracket, on any flat surface.

Choose a location within reach of the sensing element. Allow

for gradual bends and some slack in the capillary.

Mount the Immersion Well

1. Coat the well threads with a moderate amount of pipe

dope, leaving two end threads bare. Teflon

®

tape may

also be used.

2. Screw the immersion well into the tapping and tighten

securely.

3. Refill the system. Check for and correct any leaks.

Fig. 2. Use good Piping Practice when Installing

Immersion Well.

To Install Direct Mount Controller

1. Slide the sensing bulb all the way into the well. The metal

collar around the capillary should slip into the well spud.

2. Line up the case so the setting indicator is on top.

3. Tighten the setscrew in the well spud snugly against the

metal collar.

Fig. 3. The Direct Mount Model is held in place by the

Setscrew in the Well Spud.

To Mount Remote Bulb Controller

Insert Sensing Bulb in Well

1. Slide sensing bulb into well. Make sure bulb rests

against the bottom of the well. Don’t bend the capillary

where it connects to the bulb.

2. Hold bulb in place and tighten setscrew all the way

down. It won’t fit tight against the capillary, but it will keep

the bulb from sliding out.

Fig. 4. The Setscrew keeps the Remote Sensing Bulb in

the Well.
