L8151A
TripleAquastat® Relay
The L8151A is a remote bulb controller for use
with hydronic heating systems that include domes-
tic hot water service.
■ Provides high limit, low limit, and circulator control
■ Shielded capillary allows convenient mounting.
for maintaining boiler temperatures.
■ Consistsofadiaphragmpowerheadandmicroswitch
assembly that responds to temperature changes in
the boiler water.
■ Can provide multizone control by using a separate
thermostat and R845 Relay for each zone.
■ An internal transformer powers the thermostat cir-
cuit.

INSTALLATION
IMMERSION WELL MOUNTING
CAUTION
NOTE:Immersionwellmustbeorderedseparately.Foralist
of available wells, refer to form 68-0040, Wells and
Fittings for Temperature Controllers.
• Disconnect power supply before beginning in-
stallation to prevent electrical shock or equip-
ment damage.
• Avoid making sharp bends or kinks in the capil-
lary. Bends should be no less than 1 in. (25 mm).
The boiler manufacturer generally provides a tapping
for the immersion well. This tapping should be located at a
point where typical water temperature can be measured.
The immersion well must never be located close to a hot or
cold water inlet or a steam coil, or where the pressure
exceeds 200 psi (1380 kPa).
IMPORTANT: Terminals on these Aquastat® Relays are
approved for copper wire only.
If the system is filled, drain to a point below the selected
installation location.

2. Insert the bulb into the well, pushing tubing until bulb
bottoms in well. Avoid making sharp bends or kinks in the
capillary. Bends should be no sharper than 1 in. (25 mm)
radius.

3. Attach the retainer clamp to end of well spud. Loosen
draw nut and spread jaws of clamp with screwdriver if
necessary, Fig. 3.
MOUNTING THE CASE
Mount the case in a convenient location near the boiler.
Remember that the shielded capillary must reach from the
case to the immersion well. This maximum ambient tem-
perature of the selected location must not exceed 150°F
(66°C) at the case, 265°F (130°C) at the sensing element.

INSTALLATION
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances. The limits given in the Specifications section
must not be exceeded when applying this control. Use
manufacturer instructions when wiring controlled equip-
ment or refer to typical hookups in Fig. 4 through 6.
When the B1 terminal on the device being replaced is
1/4 in. tab terminal, use the existing wiring harness termi-
nals to install the replacement device. When the B1 termi-
nal on the device being replaced is a screw terminal, insert
the provided tab terminal to screw terminal adapter on the
1/4 in. tab terminal of the replacment device. After the
adapter is installed, the existing wraparound wire end can
be reused to make an electrical connection to the B1 termi-
nal.

5. Tighten draw nut so that retainer clamp is firmly
attached to well spud and tubing is held securely in place. Be
careful not to damage the capillary.

OPERATION AND SETTINGS
Operation and Settings
HIGH LIMIT
The high limit opens and turns off the burner when the
water temperature reaches the setpoint. The high limit
automatically resets after the water temperature drops past
the setpoint and through the 10°F (6°C) differential.

LOW LIMIT AND CIRCULATOR CONTROL
On a temperature rise, with the adjustable differential at
the minimum setting of 10°F (6°C), the low limit circuit
(RB) breaks and the circulator circuit (R-W) makes at the
control setpoint. On a temperature drop of 10°F (6°C)
below the setpoint, the R-B circuit makes and the R-W
circuit breaks.
