Series 150E and 157E

Low Water Cut-Off/Pump Controllers

For Steam Boilers and Other Level Control Applications

Typical Applications:

– Primary or secondary pump controller/

low water fuel cut-off

for steam boilers

– Motorized valve controller

– Low water and high water cut-off

– Dual pump control

– Alarm actuator

• Before using this product read and understand instructions.

• Save these instructions for future reference.

• All work must be performed by qualified personnel trained in the proper application, instal-

lation, and maintenance of plumbing, steam, and electrical equipment and/or systems in

accordance with all applicable codes and ordinances.

• To prevent serious burns, the boiler must be cooled to 80˚F (27˚C) and the pressure must be

0 psi (0 bar) before servicing.

• To prevent electrical shock, turn off the electrical power before making electrical connections.

• This low water cut-off must be installed in series with all other limit and operating controls

installed on the boiler. After installation, check for proper operation of all of the limit and

operating controls, before leaving the site.

• To prevent serious personal injury from steam blow down, connect a drain pipe to the control

opening to avoid exposure to steam discharge.

• To prevent a fire, do not use this low water cut-off to switch currents over 16A, 1 Hp at

120 VAC or 8A, 1 Hp at 240 VAC, unless a starter or relay is used in conjunction with it.

Failure to follow this warning could cause property damage, personal injury or death.

SPECIFICATIONS

Maximum Pressure: 150 psi (10.5 kg/cm2)

FEATURES

Burner Delay (DOB): 0 to 60 seconds (Field Adjustable)

Ambient Temp: 120˚F Max.

NOTE:The circuit board is protected with a sensor which will

shut down the unit if the temperature at the board exceeds

176˚F (80˚C).The board will reset when the temperature at

the board drops below 167˚F (75˚C).

Burner RelayTime Delay

There is a field-adjustable time delay (DOB) to

prevent nuisance burner shut-down.The number

of seconds water needs to be off the bottom probe

before the burner relay is deactivated can be set

between 0 and 60 seconds.

Redundant Low Water Cut-Off

When the boiler water drops below the middle

probe, a 3 minute timing circuit will be activated. If

water does not return to the middle probe within

three minutes, the burner relay will deactivate.The

Red LED will flash once every second if this

condition occurs.

• Automatic Reset units will automatically reset

when the water level is restored to the middle

probe.

• The reset button on Manual Reset units will

have to be pressed after water is restored to

the middle probe.

NOTE:The timing circuit will automatically reset

if the water level is restored to the middle probe

within 3 minutes.

Redundant Pump Off

The pump relay will be activated after water drops

below the middle probe. If the water level is not

restored to the top probe within 3 minutes the pump

relay will be deactivated. After the pump relay is

deactivated, normal operation is resumed.Water

must again drop off the middle probe to activate the

pump relay.There is no LED signal for this

occurance.

CSD-1 Code Compliance

On Manual Reset units, if the control is in a low

water condition (burner relay deactivated) prior to

an interruption of power, the control will remain in a

low water condition when power is restored.The

reset button will need to be pressed when the water

level again covers the middle probe.

When the water level in the boiler drops below the

middle probe, the circuit is broken which will acti-

vate the pump relay.When the water level rises

above the top probe, the circuit is made and the

pump relay is deactivated.

The distance between the top and middle probes is

adjustable. By turning the flange one bolt hole

clockwise, the distance can be increased by 7/16”.

When the water level in the boiler drops below the

bottom probe, the circuit is broken which will deacti-

vate the burner relay.When the water level is

restored to the middle probe, the burner relay will

be activated for auto reset controls only.

If the control will be the primary low

water fuel cut-off, size the steam (top)

and water (bottom) equalizing pipe lengths

so that the horizontal cast line on the body

is 13/8”(35mm) below the boiler’s normal

water level, but not lower than the

lowest safe permissible water level, as

determined by the boiler manufacturer.

If the control will be the secondary low

water fuel cut-off, size the steam (top) and

water (bottom) equalizing pipe lengths so

that the horizontal cast line on the body is

at or above, the lowest safe permissible

water level, as determined by the boiler

manufacturer.

STEP 1 - Determine the Elevation at Which the

Low Water Cut-Off/Pump Controller Must be Installed

INSTALLATION –

TOOLS NEEDED:

Two (2) pipe wrenches, one (1) flatblade screw-

driver, and pipe sealing compound. IMPORTANT: Follow the boiler manufacturer's

instructions along with all applicable codes and

ordinances for piping, blow down valve and water

gauge glass requirements.

STEP 4 - Electrical Wiring

•To prevent electrical shock, turn off the electrical power before making electrical connections.

•This low water cut-off must be installed in series with all other limit and operating controls installed on the

boiler. After installation, check for proper operation of all of the limit and operating controls, before leaving

the site.

•Boiler manufacturer schematics should always be followed. In the event that the boiler manufacturer’s

schematic does not exist, or is not available from the boiler manufacturer, refer to the schematics provided

in this document.

Failure to follow this warning could cause electrical shock, an explosion and/or a fire, which could result in

property damage, personal injury or death.

WARNING

Cover Removal and Installation Procedure

a. To remove cover, use a flatblade screwdriver to

loosen screws and remove the cover (K).
