Honeywell C, L, L7224A, L7248A installation manual

New Installation

Order well assemblies separately; see Table 1 and form no. 68-0040, Immersion Wells and Compression Fittings for Temperature Controllers. Boilers usually have tappings that allow the well to be mounted horizontally so boiler water of average temperature can circulate freely over the well.

  1. Turn off all power and drain the boiler, if applicable.
  2. If no tapping is provided, prepare properly sized and threaded tapping near the top of the boiler.
  3. Sparingly coat the well threads with pipe dope. NOTE: Do not attempt to tighten by using the case as a handle.
  4. Install the well in the boiler tapping and tighten securely.
  5. Refill boiler and check for water leakage.
  6. Loosen but do not remove the well clamp screw.
  7. Fit the case into the well so the clamp on the case slides over the flange on the well.
  8. Securely tighten the clamp screw.
  9. Insert the sensor element into the well until it bottoms. See Replacement Sensor Installation section for details. (If necessary, slightly bend the wire inside the case to hold the sensor against the bottom of the well.)
  10. Turn power ON.
  11. Set High Limit, Low Limit and Low Limit Differential to the settings recommended by the boiler OEM. (See OPERATION section.) (See INSTALLATION steps 6 and 7.)
  12. On L7248L models, adjust ELL option to match your configuration (see OPERATION section, and Fig. 11 and 13)

IMPORTANT Best thermal response is obtained with a well that snugly fits the sensor. Insert the sensor until it rests against the bottom of the well. Use a well of correct length and bend the wiring, if necessary, to hold the bulb against the bottom of the well.

If the well is not a snug fit on the sensor, use the heat-conductive compound (furnished with TRADELINE® models) as follows: Fold the plastic bag of compound lengthwise and twist it gently. Then snip off end of bag and work the open end of the bag all the way into the well. Slowly pull out the bag while squeezing it firmly to distribute compound evenly in the well. Bend the wiring, if necessary, to hold the sensor against the bottom of the well and to hold outer end of the sensor in firm contact with the side of the well. See Fig. 2. Wipe excess compound from the outer end of the well

Fuse

The 1 Amp fuse located near the transformer is intended to protect the EnviraCOM circuit from incorrect wiring. The Aquastat will continue to function should the fuse blow or be removed though no EnviraCOM communication will be possible on the bus and Err 6 will be displayed. See Table 10.

All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and ordinances. Do not exceed the specifications in the Application section when wiring this control. Use wire rated for 194 °F (90 °C) or higher.

IMPORTANT The terminals on these Aquastat Controllers are approved for use with copper wire only. Follow the appropriate wiring diagrams shown on the inside of the front cover of the L7224A,C; L7248A,C,L or in Fig. 8–13. Refer to Fig. 6 for Connections for the optional Outdoor Reset Module and the Domestic Hot Water (DHW) module. In subsequent wiring diagrams these modules will be displayed with a dotted line signifying that they are optional.

OPERATION

General

The L7224A,C and L7248A,C,L Oil Electronic Aquastat Controllers are primary safety limit-rated devices designed for use with oil fired boilers with line voltage burners and circulators. Many boilers do not include wiring or control compartments as part of the design, but are provided with an integral, replaceable, immersion well that is the mounting hardware for the Aquastat Controllers. Wiring to the other controls is done through flexible metal conduit. For boilers that do include a remotely (flush) mounted control, the wiring may be completed with conduit or routed behind the boiler sheet metal.

A separate electromechanical high-limit is not required in a system that uses this control to meet Underwriters Laboratories Inc. requirements for oil-fired boiler assemblies, UL 726. On the L7224 models, the High Limit, Low Limit, Low Limit Differential, and Anti Short-Cycle time can be adjusted to the setting recommended by the boiler OEM. On the L7248 models, the High Limit, and Anti Short-Cycle time are also adjustable, see “Adjusting Settings”. The overall range of the High Limit is from 130 °F to 240 °F (54 °C to 116 °C). Select devices may have different ranges. Some models have limited ranges on the High Limit setpoint; this limited range is listed on the device label. Some models also have a Low Limit and Low Limit Differential adjustment. The range of the Low Limit is from 110 °F to 220 °F (43 °C to 104 °C). Select devices may have different ranges.

The Zr setting can be set to DHW, Zoning, or for tankless coil applications depending on the L7224/L7248. If a W8735S1000 AquaReset™ Outdoor Reset Module is installed, the reset curve can be set by entering the minimum outdoor temperature, minimum (boiler) temperature, and maximum outdoor temperature on the 3-digit display. The range of the minimum outdoor temperature is from -40 °F to 40 °F (-40 °C to 4.4 °C) and has a default setting of 0 °F (-18 °C). The range of the maximum outdoor temperature is from 30 °F to 70 °F (-1.1 °C to 21.1 °C) and has a default setting of 40 °F.

The range of the minimum (water or boiler) temperature is from 80 °F to 180 °F (26.7 °C to 82.2 °C) and has a default setting of 130 °F. See the “Outdoor Reset Module” Installation Instructions (form number 69-2335) for more information on setting the boiler reset curve and all related parameters. The L7224A,C and L7248A,C,L are designed for use with 24 Vac electronic and electromechanical thermostats or EnviraCOM™ enabled thermostats, and have screw-type terminals for easy field connection.

Adjusting Settings

To discourage unauthorized changing of Aquastat settings, a procedure to enter the ADJUSTMENT mode is required. To enter the ADJUSTMENT mode, press the UP, DOWN, and I buttons (Refer to Fig. 5) simultaneously for three seconds. Press the I button until the feature requiring adjustment is displayed:

Operation

The L7224 and L7248 models can be in any of four operational states: Normal, High Limit, Low Limit and Error. The controller moves back and forth from High Limit to Normal to Low Limit state as part of normal operation. Only devices having High Limit settings are restricted to the High Limit and Normal states. However, the controller will enter the Error state when there is an abnormal condition. The operating states are:

  1. Normal: Boiler temperature went below the High Limit setting (minus the Differential) and has not exceeded the High Limit setting; or, the boiler temperature went above the Low Limit setting and has not gone below the Low Limit setting (minus the Differential); or, ZR input is not powered with 120 Vac (only L7248L with ELL set On).
  2. High Limit: Boiler temperature went above the High Limit setting and has not dropped below the High Limit setting (minus the Differential).
  3. Low Limit: Boiler temperature went below the Low Limit setting (minus the Low Limit Differential) and has not gone above the Low Limit setting; or, ZR input is powered with 120 Vac (only L7248L with ELL set On).
  4. Error: The controller has detected an error condition (e.g., open sensor) and has shut down the burner output. The ZC output is energized. The controller continues to monitor the system and automatically restarts if the error condition clears. Refer toTable 4.

The operating sequence for the L7224/L7248 is shown in Table 6–9.

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 Differential. The L7248 models have High Limit Differential presets of 15 °F (8 °C). The L7224 models have High Limit Differential presets of 10 °F (6 °C).

Low Limit and Circulator Controller

On a temperature rise, with the adjustable Differential at the default setting of 10 °F (6 °C), the burner circuit breaks and the circulator circuit makes (assuming no call for heat is present) at the Low Limit setpoint. On a temperature drop of 10 °F (6 °C) below the Low Limit setpoint, the burner circuit makes and the circulator circuit breaks. See Fig. 7.

honeywell hz221 truezone Installation manual

Anti Short-Cycle Feature

The Anti Short-Cycle feature allows for field selection of a delay time between burner cycles. Should a call for heat occur following the end of the previous heat cycle and before the Anti Short-Cycle delay time is expired, the circulator will be allowed to run, but the burner will be held off until the time has elapsed. The range of the Anti ShortCycle time is from OFF to five minutes.
