c.

Check the water feeder (B) operation by performing the following steps:

1.

Slowly drain water from the boiler.

2.

The burner should turn off when the water level drops below the cut-off level of the LWCO, which
will activate the water feeder's delay feed cycle.

3.

Feeder should turn on to feed water to boiler after delay period has expired.

NOTE:

 

Delay period is determined by position of selector.

 

Unit is shipped

with switch in Position 2.

 

Refer to chart on page 8 for alternate settings.

4.

Feeder will be deactivated when water level is restored to level as determined by LWCO.

 

NOTE:

 

McDonnell & Miller Series 

PSE

 LWCO's have a 

30 

second DOM (Delay on Make) to

 

restore

 

water level in boiler to an appropriate level without overfeeding.

 

Consult other

 

manufacturer's LWCO

 

installation literature

 

for DOM times.

5.

Repeat steps to ensure feeder is operating satisfactorily. 

If burner does not turn off when water level falls below level of LWCO, turn
off power to boiler and check operation of LWCO.
