Instructions for Model EA100DRPT and EA100SRPV 

RetroPak™ Probe Cap Assemblies

 

 

                                                  

 

           
Identification: 

-  Model EA100DRPT is designed to fit Model EA100 or Model EA100D Levalarms, which have 

a 4 bolt flange design. 

-  Model EA100SRPV is designed to fit Model EA100S Levalarms, which have a 6 bolt flange 

design. 
 

Installation Procedure: 

This procedure must be performed with the boiler down to prevent any false alarms or wiring 
hazard. Verify the power at the existing switch is off, before installing the upgrade. 

1.  Be certain there is no internal pressure on the Levalarm assembly. 
2.  Remove switch cover 
3.  Remove the existing wiring from switch. 
4.  Remove flange bolts (4 on EA100D models and 6 on EA100S models) and nuts. 
5.  Discard flange cover assembly with float mechanism. 
6.  Remove old flange gasket. 
7.  Install new flange gasket (Part No. C1-3). 
8.  Attach new flange cover. 
9.  Install bolts and nuts. Torque in an “X” pattern in 1/3 increments up to 70 Ft-Lbs. 
10. Mount relay control unit at convenient location. 
11. Attach high temperature wires (furnished) from probe and cap assembly (common wire) and 

           wire to relay socket terminals (See actual relay for wiring schematic diagram label). 

12. Attach original switch wires from EA100 to the new relay location on the desired switch 

           contact terminals. 

13. The relay will require a 120 VAC or 230 VAC power source depending upon the Part Number 

           (Use Relay Part No. ECID-23R for 120 VAC or Part No. ECID-56R for 230 VAC). 

14. Recheck all wiring before returning to service. 
15. Installation  is  complete. 

 
Note: The relay can be installed in user supplied enclosure with a surface mount relay socket 
(Part No. ECID-49) or the relay can be ordered already mounted in an Indoor or Outdoor 
enclosure. Refer to bulletin D3.2C and D3.3C for additional information on relay control 

options.
