L6008G Adjustable Interstage Differential
 When the temperature at the sensing element rises above 
the set point of the controller, the switch on the right makes 
R-W. If the temperature continues to rise through the prese-
lectedinterstage differential of the controller, the switch on 
the left makes R-W.
Conversely, on a temperature fall, the switch on the left 
makes R-B, providing first step switching. If the temperature 
continues to fall, the switch on the right makes R-B to pro-
vide sequencing of equipment. Aquastat Controller

OPERATION

ADJUSTMENTS

Adjust Differential
Set the differential to correspond with the boiler 
manufacturer recommendations. To adjust models 
with adjustable differential, rotate the wheel on 
the back of the snap switch, (See Fig. 32), until 
the desired reading is aligned with the V notch in 
the frame. The wheel provides an adjustment from 
5° F to 30° F (3° C to 17° C). Replace the cover 
on the Aquastat Controller.

ADJUSTMENTS

Adjust the control point to correspond with the boiler 
manufacturer recommendations. To adjust, insert a 
screwdriver in the slotted screw type head located beneath 
the window in the cover. Turn the scale to the desired 
control point.

Adjust L6008G Interstage Differential
The L6008G Controller has an adjustable inter-
stage differential. The set point adjustment knob 
determines the temperature at which the right 
switch operates. The left switch can be adjusted 
to operate from 3° F to 10° F (1.7° C to 5.6° C) 
above the point of operation of the right switch. 
See Figure 30 for the operation of the L6008G. 
The interstage differential is adjusted by turn-
ing the star wheel with a narrow screwdriver 
inserted into the rectangular hole in the chassis. 
(See Fig. 32).

Circulator Controller
R-W terminals provide circulation control func-
tion (contacts close at set point on temperature 
rise). Prevents circulation of water that is below 
the desired heating temperature. Breaks circula-
tor circuit on temperature drop below setting less 
differential; remakes on rise to setting. 

Low Limit Controller
R-B terminals provide low limit switching func-
tion (contacts open at set point on temperature 
rise). Maintains minimum boiler temperature for 
domestic hot water. Turns on boiler at tempera-
ture setting, less differential.
