OPERATION AND SETTINGS
Operation and Settings
HIGH LIMIT
The high limit opens and turns off the burner when the
water temperature reaches the setpoint. The high limit
automatically resets after the water temperature drops past
the setpoint and through the 10
°
F (6
°
C) differential.
WARNING
CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE,
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
Product is for use only in a system with a pressure
relief valve.
LOW LIMIT AND CIRCULATOR CONTROL
On a temperature rise, with the adjustable differential at
the minimum setting of 10
°
F (6
°
C), the low limit circuit
(RB) breaks and the circulator circuit (R-W) makes at the
control setpoint. On a temperature drop of 10
°
F (6
°
C)
below the setpoint, the R-B circuit makes and the R-W
circuit breaks.

At any differential setting greater than 10

R-B make and R-W break temperatures remain the same
(control setting minus 10
