Honeywell Heating System L8124A User Manual

L8124A,C,E,L and M  
Aquastat® Relays  
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
APPLICATION  
SPECIFICATIONS  
These immersion type controllers are used with forced  
hydronic heating systems that include domestic hot water  
service. All models provide high limit, low limit and  
circulator control. Table 1 lists the various models and  
their applications.  
Low Limit:  
Setting: 110°F to 220°F (43°C to 104°C), adjustable.  
Differential: 10°F to 25°F (6°C to 14°C), adjustable.  
High Limit:  
Setting: 130°F to 240°F (54°C to 116°C), adjustable.  
Differential: 10°F (6°C), fixed.  
These Aquastat® relays have a diaphragm powerhead  
and MicroSwitch™ assembly that respond to  
temperature changes in the boiler water. L8124 can  
provide multizone control by using a separate circulator  
and R845 Relay for each zone. L8124E and L have large  
transformers and extra terminals for supplying power to  
low voltage valves. L8124L includes a large transformer  
and extra terminals for low voltage zone valves. L8124M  
is for use in a wood-coal/gas-oil multifuel heating system.  
Circulator is independently controlled by the thermostat.  
WARNING  
Can cause serious injury, death or property  
damage.  
Use this product only in systems with a pressure  
relief valve.  
Explosion Hazard.  
Do not use these Aquastat® Relays where the pressure  
can exceed 100 psi (690 kPa) on the bulb if inserted  
directly or 200 psi (1380 kPa) when using an immersion  
well, or where the ambient temperature can exceed  
150°F (66°C) at the case or 265°F (129°C) at the sensing  
element.

EXAMPLE: Setpoint of 140°F (60°C), differential set  
at 25°F (14°C). On a temperature rise, R-B breaks  
and R-W makes at 155°F (68°C). On a temperature  
fall, R-B makes and R-W breaks at 130°F (54°C).  
OPERATION  
High Limit Controller  
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 Controllers  
SWITCH MAKES R-W  
AND BREAKS R-B ON  
TEMPERATURE RISE.  
On a temperature rise, with the adjustable differential at  
the minimum setting of 10°F (6°C), the burner circuit  
(R-B) 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. See Fig. 12.  
SWITCH MAKES R-B AND  
BREAKS R-W ON  
TEMPERATURE FALL.  
BURNER IS ON TO  
MAINTAIN MINIMUM  
WATER TEMPERATURE.  
CIRCULATOR IS OFF.  
At any differential setting greater than 10°F (6°C), the  
R-B make temperature and the R-W break temperature  
remain the same (control setting minus 10°F [6°C]). The  
R-B break and R-W make temperature are the setpoint  
temperature plus the difference between the differential  
setting and 10°F (6°C).

WHEN WATER REACHES PROPER TEMPERATURE, THE BURNER  
SHUTS OFF OR THE CIRCULATOR PUMP STARTS (WHEN CALLING  
FOR HEAT).

L8124A,C,E,L AND M AQUASTAT® RELAYS  
On the L8124M, the burner and circulator circuits are  
separately controlled; the low limit controls the burner  
circuit (R-B) as described above, while the low voltage  
thermostat directly controls the circulator circuit.  
See Fig. 13.  
SETTING  
Follow the boiler manufacturer recommendations when  
making the L8124 settings. The high limit setting must be  
at least 20°F (11°C) higher than the low limit setting. Set  
the indicators over the selected temperature marks. The  
low limit differential is set by turning the differential  
adjustment knob to the desired amount of differential.  
The thermostat heat anticipator should be set at 2.0A.
