R8182D,H Combination 
Protectorelay™ Primary Control 
and Aquastat

® 

Controller

APPLICATION

The R8182D,H Controllers combine a Protectorelay™ 
Primary Control and an Aquastat® Controller for use 
in oil-fired, hydronic heating systems. The Aquastat 
Controller provides high and low limit protection, 
circulator control, and minimum water temperature 
control for tankless domestic hot water service.

The Protectorelay Primary Control provides control of 
a line voltage, intermittent ignition oil burner when 
used with a C554A Cadmium Sulfide Flame Detector 
and a 24V thermostat.

The auxiliary ZC and ZR terminals provide zone 
control through an R845A Switching Relay. Each 
additional zone requires a separate 24V thermostat 
and an R845A Relay.

The R8182D,H also provide zone control using zone 
valves. Each additional zone requires a separate 24V 
thermostat and a V8043 or V8044 Zone Valve. The 
R8182D,H can be converted to provide only the high-
limit to replace an R8182B,E or only the limit and 
circulator function to replace of the R8182C,F.

The R8182D mounts directly on the boiler. The 
R8182H mounts on a 4 by 4 in. junction box and has a 
5 ft. (1.5m) capillary that allows a remote sensor 
location.

The R8182D includes

• Bag of heat-conductive compound for better heat 

transfer.

• High- and low-limit setting stops.
• One  wire  nut.
To order an immersion well or a well adapter, see form 
68-0440, Wells and Fittings for Temperature 
Controllers,  for part numbers and descriptions.

Can cause severe injury, death or property 
damage.

Use this product only in systems with a 
pressure relief valve.

When Installing this Product…

1.

Read these instructions carefully. Failure to fol-
low them could damage product or cause a haz-
ardous condition.

2.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard and Explosion 
Hazard.
Can cause severe injury, death or equipment 
damage.

1. Disconnect the power supply before 

beginning installation to prevent electrical 
shock or equipment damage.

2. Be sure that combustion chamber is clear of 

oil or oil vapor before starting burner.

3. Be sure that the ambient temperature at the 

element does not exceed 250°F (121°C).

IMPORTANT

Be sure that the sensing bulb fits snugly 
inside the immersion well and that the 
sensing bulb rests against the bottom of the 
immersion well. If the sensing bulb does not 
fit snugly inside the immersion well, use the 
heat-conductive compound as described 
below. See Fig. 3.

Mounting the R8182D

See Fig. 1 for R8182D installation dimensions and 
Fig. 4 for an internal view of the R8182D.

If existing immersion well does not fit the R8182D 
immersion well clamp, use a 124904 Immersion Well 
Adapter, ordered separately from form 68-0040.

1.

Disconnect power supply.

2.

Drain all water from boiler.

3.

Fasten R8182D immersion well clamp to flange 
on immersion well adapter. See Fig. 3.

4.

Place adapter on capillary tube.

5.

Put adapter end into hole in controller case and 
tighten clamp screw.
