Relay-Hot Water Control

WHITE-RODGERS

For use with 24 VAC or Self-Generating Gas Valve
(Suitable for External Zone Valve Load)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Operator: Save these instructions for future use!
FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

DESCRIPTION
These relay-hot water controls combine a high limit control, a
transformer, a circulator relay, and wiring terminals into a single
unit. They are suitable for use on boilers equipped with a 24 volt
or millivolt gas valve.
These controls are designed primarily for use on boilers that do
not supply domestic hot water. (However, they are equipped
with an extra terminal to permit them to be used on boilers with
a tankless domestic coil by the addition of a separate SPDT low
limit-circulator control on systems using a 24 volt gas valve.)
The internal transformer supplies power for operating a gas
valve as well as the relay coil. On systems zones with motorized
water valves, the internal transformer may also be used for
powering some (or all) of the water valves.

PRECAUTIONS
If in doubt about whether your wiring is millivolt, line, or low
voltage, have it inspected by a qualified heating and air conditioning contractor, electrician, or someone familiar with basic
electricity and wiring.
Do not exceed the specification ratings.
All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes
and ordinances.
This control is a precision instrument, and should be handled
carefully. Rough handling or distorting components could cause
the control to malfunction.

! CAUTION
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage,
disconnect electric power to system, at main fuse or
circuit breaker box, until installation is complete.

! WARNING
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage.
Higher voltage will damage control and could cause
shock or fire hazard.
Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary
control to test. Short or incorrect wiring will burn out
heat anticipator. Personal injury and/or property damage may result from shorted or incorrect wiring.

INSTALLATION
NOTE
If the boiler manufacturer recommends a control location, then
follow such recommendations. Otherwise, locate the control as
close to the top of the boiler as possible, but not in the same
section of the boiler that has fittings for domestic hot water.
Never locate the control near a return pipe to the boiler.

PREPARING TO MOUNT CONTROL

Slot
Capillary
Tube

This control can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
1. Loosen the set-screw holding the well in place (see fig. 1).
2. Push down and out on the well and carefully slide the
capillary tube in slot.
3. Place the well in new notch and tighten the set-screw to
secure the well in the new position.

MOUNTING THE CONTROL
1. Disconnect electrical power to the boiler.
2. Completely drain the boiler.
3. If a well tapping is not provided, prepare one near the top of
the boiler.
4. Sparingly apply pipe joint compound to the well threads and
install well.

NOTE
Use hex on well for tightening the well. Do not attempt to tighten
by using the case as a handle.
5. Refill the boiler and check for water leaks.
6. Insert the bulb element into the well until it bottoms.
7. Locate and secure the coil of excess tubing so that it cannot
touch electrical components.
8. Fit the back of the case into the well and tighten using the setscrew on the back panel.

MOUNTING TO EXISTING WELL
(For use with well adaptor, which may be ordered separately.)
For best control performance, a well comparable to that shown
in fig. 2 is recommended. However, by using a heat conductive
grease, these controls will give satisfactory performance when
used with large-diameter existing wells. If desired, both the
conductive grease and replacement wells may be ordered
separately (see fig. 2).

DIAL SETTING
When replacing an existing control, adjust the setting of the high
limit to correspond with that of the old control.
Set the pointer to the temperature at which the contacts of the
high limit are to open (see fig. 3)
Models with a preset dial stop are to be adjusted by authorized
service personnel only.
To reset the dial stop, loosen the stop adjust screw and reposition the stop to the desired setting.
Retighten the stop adjust screw.

! WARNING
DO NOT set the stop higher than the original
manufacturer’s recommended setting. Personal injury
and/or property damage may result.

WIRING AND OPERATION
All wiring should be installed according to local and national electrical codes and ordinances.
Figure 4 shows wiring connections for a typical installation using
the 8J48A with a 36C03 or a 36C53 24V manifold gas valve.
Figure 5 shows wiring connections for the 8J48A with a 36C03U
or 36C53U self-generating gas valve. Operation is as follows:
As the room thermostat contacts close, the relay coil is energized and closes its two sets of relay contacts. The manifold gas
valve opens as the no. 1 relay contacts close, while the circulator
motor starts as the no. 2 relay contacts close.
When the room thermostat opens its contacts, the manifold gas
valve closes and the circulator motor stops.
If the boiler temperature exceeds the setting of the high limit
while the thermostat is calling for heat, the high limit will close the
gas valve but permit the circulator to run as long as the
thermostat is calling for heat.

AUTO/MANUAL SWITCH

NOTE
For manual operation of self-generating millivolt systems
only.
The manual switch, located on the outside of the controls case,
allows operation of the burner during power failures. When the
switch is set to MANUAL, the burner will operate continuously
until the high limit temperature is reached. The circulator, which
requires line voltage to operate, will not function in MANUAL
mode. When power is restored, reset the switch to AUTO to
resume automatic operation.
