ELECTRICAL OPERATION
COMPONENT FUNCTION
Water Level Control
(WLC LLCO) . . . . . . . . . .
Low water level control. Monitors condition of the WLC LLCO water level probe. Protects
kettle from a low water condition in the reservoir jacket and removes power from heating
circuit when kettle is tilted.
Probe, Water Level
(LLCO) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Low Level Cut-Off (LLCO) probe connected to WLC (LLCO). Controls power to heating
circuit.
Contactor (1CON)
Limiting . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Connects one side of heating element to power. Energized whenever WLC (LLCO) coil
is energized.
Contactor (2CON)
Regulating . . . . . . . . . . . .
Connects heating element to power. On constantly when temperature controller is calling
for heat.
Element, Heating . . . . .
Heats reservoir jacket fluid. The heat in the fluid is then transferred to kettle.
Fuse, (1FU & 2FU) . . . .
Slow blow 3A fuse. Located on primary side of main transformer (1T). Protects control
circuitry from over-currents.
Switch (1PAS),
Pressure . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Pressure cut-out protection for the reservoir jacket. Range is between 38 to 42 PSI.
Removes power from control circuit if pressure in the jacket rises above switch setting.
Transformer (1T),
Main . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Step down transformer from line voltage to 120VAC control circuit voltage.
Switch (1S), Power . . .
Controls 120VAC to kettle control circuit.
Temperature
Controller . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Cycles power to regulating contactor (2CON) to maintain the set point temperature. An
external set point potentiometer is used for temperature adjustments.
Lamp (1LT), Power . . .
Amber (AM) colored lamp. On when power switch is on.
Lamp (2LT), Low
Water . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Red (RD) colored lamp. On when water level in the reservoir jacket drops below water
level (LLCO) probe.
Lamp (3LT), Heat . . . . .
Amber (AM) colored lamp. On when temperature controller is calling for heat.
