WIRING

IMPORTANT

Terminals on the L8124 Aquastat Relay are 

approved for use with only copper wire. The 

terminals allow only wrap-around wiring.

1.

Strip 7/16 in. of insulation from 

the wire end.

2.

Wrap the wire at least 3/4 of the 

distance around the screw as 

shown.

3.

Using a standard, flat-headed 

screwdriver, tighten the screw 

until the wire is snugly in contact 

with the screw and contact plate.

4.

Tighten the screw an additional one-half turn.

NOTE: Do not use a push-type ratchet screwdriver.

All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and 

ordinances. Do not exceed the limits in the Specifications 

section when applying this control. Use manufacturer 

instructions when wiring controlled equipment or refer to 

typical hookups in Figs. 10 through 21.
