 EB-WO-18 

EB-WO-27 

 
 
APPLICATION:

 

This Electro-Boiler is factory equipped with 

WarmFlo

 smart controller.  

WarmFlo

 

automatically regulates outlet water temperature based upon outside temperature and pre-
setup parameters (commonly called “outdoor reset”). 
 
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. 

 

Note: 

If this installation does not include dual heat standby boiler, the front panel 

switch must always be in the “normal” position. 

 

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 which stages elements based upon zone capacity. 

 

 

Note: 

This product meets the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure 

Vessel Code.
