Installing a low water cut off (LWCO)
The boiler is equipped with several sensors that prevent firing or running
the boiler in case of low water pressure or low water levels. Nevertheless
code may require the installation of a separate low water cut off (LWCO)
device.
The boiler is equipped with a dedicated port for installation of a LWCO
device on the supply pipe on the back of the boiler cabinet. This location
represents the minimum water level for safe operation of the boiler.
The LWCO device must be specified for an ambient temperature of
176 °F (80 °C) and a water temperature of 250 °F (121 °C).
The following LWCO is approved with the boiler:
• Hydrolevel Safgard 1100
The device is available at most Bosch wholesalers. It requires an
external 24VAC minimum 20VA transformer provided on site.
▶ Disconnect the boiler from power by shutting off the emergency
switch or disengaging the heating system circuit breaker.
▶ Drain the boiler.
1. Remove the safety clip from the dummy plug in the supply pipe.
2. Pull off the dummy plug and place with the boiler documentation.
▶ Ensure the O-ring remains in place on the pipe.
▶ Lubricate the O-ring.

▶ Screw the LWCO as far as possible into LWCO adapter located in the
boiler accessory kit. Follow the Hydrolevel Safgard 1100
instructions.

1. Push the adapter with the LWCO onto the pipe
2. Secure with the clip

▶ Connect the wires of the LWCO (
chapter 7.4, page 48).
If other LWCO devices are to be used, they must be
installed external to the boiler.

The LWCO is positioned upright for technical reasons.
Tests have shown that all air will bleed from the pipe
during commissioning and full functionality is
established.
If fault
d3
is displayed when commissioning the boiler,
purge the boiler properly and check the boiler water
pressure.
