Fig. 16. L8124E in a 24V, gas-fired forced hot water, tankless, zoned pump system.

OPERATION

High Limit Controller

The high limit opens and turns off the burner when the 

water temperature reaches the set point. The high limit 

automatically resets after the water temperature drops 

past the set point and through the 10°F (6°C) differential.

Low Limit and Circulator Controllers

On a temperature rise, with the adjustable differential at the 

minimum setting of 10°F (°C), the burner circuit (R-B) breaks 

and the circulator circuit (R-W) makes at the control set point. 

On a temperature drop of 10° F (6°C) below the set point, the 

R-B circuit makes and the R-W circuit breaks. See Fig. 22.

At any differential setting greater than 10°F (6°C), the R-B 

make temperature and R-W break temperature will remain the 

same (control setting minus 10°F (6°C). The R-B break and 

R-W make temperature will be the set point temperature plus 

the difference between the differential setting and 10°F (6°C).

EXAMPLE:Set point of 140°F (60°C) differential set at 25°F 

(14°C). On a temperature rise, R-B will break and R-W will 

make at 155°F (68°C). On a temperature fall, R-B will make 

and R-W will break at 130°F (54°C).

On the L8124M, the burner and circulator circuits are 

controlled separately—the low limit controls the burner circuit 

(R-B) as described above, while the low voltage thermostat 

directly controls the circulator circuit (see Fig. 18).

SETTING AND CHECKOUT

WARNING

Fire or Explosion Hazard.

Can cause severe injury, death or property 

damage.

Use product only in a system with a pressure relief 

valve.

Setting

Follow the boiler manufacturer recommendation when making 

the L8124 settings. The high limit setting must be at least 20°F 

(11°C) higher than the low limit setting. Place the indicators 

over the selected temperature marks. The low limit differential 

is set by turning the differential adjustment knob to the desired 

amount of differential.

Setting Stop

A setting stop (Honeywell part no. 126580, ordered 

separately) may be installed on the adjusting knob to prevent 

turning the knob beyond a predetermined point. Fig. 23 shows 

it installed on the high limit switch knob to prevent setting 

higher than 200°F (93°C).

IMPORTANT

The setting stop cannot be reset once it is in place. If 

the stop must be removed, snip it off with cutters; do 

not twist it off.
