PRODUCT DATA
FEATURES
•Pool control regulates pool water temperature.
•L4031A pool side control is ambient-temperature
compensated so changes in air temperature do not
affect water temperature.
•High limit provides shutdown protection to prevent
boiler overheating.
• L4031A provides automatic high limit reset.
•L4031C requires manual high limit reset.
•Each limit control has its own remote-bulb sensing
element and snap switch for system control.

When Installing this Product…
Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them
could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition.
Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the
product to make sure the product is suitable for your
application.
Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
After installation is complete, check out product
operation as provided in these instructions.
CAUTION
Disconnect power supply before beginning installation
to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
The L4031 can be mounted either vertically or horizontally on
a wall or panel, or directly on a tank. This device can be
installed with the case and bulbs as far apart as the tubing
permits. In all cases, the equipment manufacturer directions
should be followed, if available. If not, follow the general
instructions in the Location section.
Location
1. Locate the high limit bulb in the hot water outlet header
of the heater. Locate the pool control bulb in the return
water header of the heater.
2. Uncoil no more tubing than needed. Sharp or repeated
bending of the tubing can cause damage.
3. If the tubing is subjected to vibration, protect it against
wear when it comes in contact with another surface.
Mounting
1. Remove the cover by loosening the cover screw on the
lower front of the controller.
2. Fasten the case to a convenient wall or panel with
screws through the three mounting holes in the back of
the case.
3. Replace cover.
To Install Remote Bulb (Order Fittings or
Wells Separately)
NOTE: Bulb must be bottomed in well for correct response.
Using Bulb Compression Fitting (Fig. 2)
1. Screw the fitting into boiler or pipe tapping.
2. Slide sealing washer onto bulb.
3. Insert bulb into boiler fitting until bulb bottoms.
4. Slide split sleeve into fitting.
5. Place clamps A and B on assembly so sleeve is drawn
into fitting when screws are tightened.
NOTE: Make sure that nub on clamp A engages space
between sleeve and clamp.
6. Tighten clamp screws evenly.

Using Immersion Well (Fig. 4)
1. Screw the well into the boiler or pipe tapping.
2. Insert the bulb into the well, pushing the tubing until the
bulb bottoms in the well.
3. Attach the retainer clamp to the end of the well spud.
Loosen the draw nut and spread the jaws of the clamp
with a screwdriver if necessary. See Fig. 4.
4. With the retainer clamp attached to a well spud (be
sure jaws of clamp hook over the ridge at the end of the
spud, as shown at point A), adjust tubing to fit through
retainer clamp groove, as shown at point B.
5. Tighten draw nut so retainer clamp is firmly attached to
well spud and tubing is held securely in place.
CAUTION
Do not secure draw nut so tightly that retainer clamp
could collapse tubing

SETTING AND CHECKOUT
Setting
To set the control point of each control, insert a screwdriver in
the slotted head visible through the cover, and turn the dial of
each control to the desired setting (Fig. 7).
Because systems differ, the correct setting for one system
may not apply to another. In all cases, the equipment manu-
facturer recommendations for setting should be followed.

WARNING
CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE,
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
This product is intended for use only in systems with a
pressure relieve valve.
Always conduct a thorough checkout when the installation is
complete. Make sure the controller was installed and adjusted
properly by putting it into operation and observing at least one
complete cycle. Further adjustment can then be made to
provide for more exact requirements.
