The question is How to troubleshoot this? And. Will start a new thread for other non pilot light issues). Bottom line: once I hand lit, everything worked fine. Each had the correct response from the boiler in that the burners fired and the zone valves opened. I did hand light last night and turned on each of 3 zones, one at a time an bled air. This has a "power pile" and 4 terminal gas valve. if anyone knows about how to tell exactly what model mine is.

If anyone has or knows where I can get the HC-A,B,C manuals (I assume they exist) I would appreciate it.
How to wire an oil burner aquastat low water cad manual#
It would say hand light wouldn't it? I am not certain this is the correct manual as my boiler does not have a letter anywhere I can see. There is also a sticker on the boiler listing procedure to start and it does not say hand light. Pilot should auto light as per hydrotherm manual (HC-D and HC-E manuals). Hydrotherm boiler circa 1970 model HC-145. I don't think that's a homeowner modification. Whoever did it did a reasonably good job. Maybe that part stopped working properly so they just bypassed it. I think it's also possible that there may be a problem with the aquastat. Perhaps the person that modified that wiring thought that the burner was big enough to heat the DHW AND the home at the same time. This is so that the burner can give full power to reheating the boiler for the DHW use and not have to ALSO heat the home. (actually the temperature that the burner stops firing is )Īt the time the burner is firing on LOW limit, the circulator is typically DISABLED. When the boiler falls 10F below the LOW setting, the burner fires to heat the water back up to the setpoint. The way a triple aquastat (what you have) is supposed to work on a boiler that provides DHW to the home is this: I can't really say what their logic was for that. so still get low-limit boiler control for dhw what is the reason for bypassing low-limit circ control? Your system COULD be retrofitted with a CAD cell setup.
Doesn't have to wait for heat to build, and is not an electromechanical nightmare relying on springs and paper clips in a snap trap mechanism that gets hit with flue gas and crazy temperature swings. If the system called for heat and the burner didn't fire for some reason, the stack switch would not sense heat in a set amount of time (45 seconds give or take) it would kick the burner off and lock out.Ĭad cell is MUCH more reliable. The older style 'stack switches' had a bimetal element inserted into the flue pipe that sensed HEAT. The modern oil burner 'primary control' uses the resistance of the cad cell to tell if the flame is lit or not. When it sees light, the resistance drops dramatically. When a cad cell is dark, it's resistance is very high. Modern burners have a 'cad cell' inside the tube that 'sees' the flame. This is what oil burners used before they used 'cad cells' to prove the flame. It's what is called a 'stack switch', but it's old enough that I'm not familiar with that type.
