APPLICATION:

   

This Electro-Boiler series is factory equipped with outlet temperature sensing and 
a smart controller which automatically stages the various elements to operate at 
the field preset outlet temperature. 

 

Primary application is any hydronic water heating system where reduced flow or 
radiation can cause overheat conditions (example, zones).  

However

, if it is a 

mixture of large and small zones, the sudden capacity and flow changes may 
cause some internal timing/overtemp conditions.  With the mixture of zones the 
zone controller ZTS-* option is highly 

recommended

 (see page 2). 

 
This series is equipped for load management interrupt and can apply to standard 
baseboard radiation, dual heat combinations, under floor radiant, wood boiler 
supplement, etc. 

 

ACCESSORIES:

 

Attached BL001 lists various accessory or option items which are not part of 
basic Electro-Boiler.  Also page 3 has additional information on slab stat.  Page 2 
gives information on a zone control update module which stages elements based 
upon zone capacity.

 

 

Note: 

This product meets the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure 

Vessel Code.
