INSTALLATION
When Installing This Product…
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them
could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition.
2. Check on the ratings given in the instructions and
marked on the product to make sure the product is
suitable for your application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
4. After installation is complete, check out the product
operation as provided in these instructions.
IMPORTANT
Location and Mounting (L404F)
Locate the L404F where the ambient temperature will not
exceed 66°C (150°F). The L404F can be mounted near the
pressure gauge, at a remote location, in a fitting provided by
the boiler manufacturer, or in a special mounting on low water
cutoffs. The L404F should always be mounted above the water
line in steam boiler applications.
NOTE: For accurate operation, supplemental heat should be
A steam trap must be connected between the L404F and the
boiler (see Fig. 2) to prevent boiler scale and corrosive vapors
from attacking the elbows or diaphragm.
When making pipe connections, use pipe dope
sparingly to seal the joints; any excess dope may clog
the small hole in the fitting and prevent the controller
from operating properly.
added to installations where temperatures fall below
-29°C (-20°F).
PRESSURE
CONTROLLER
PRESSURE
GAUGE
Pressure Gauge Mounting
To mount beside a pressure gauge, remove the gauge, and
install in its place the steam trap with a tee on top. Mount the
PressureTrol® unit and pressure gauge on the side of the tee
by means of nipples and elbows (see Fig. 2).
Remote Mounting
Excessive vibration at the boiler may affect the operation of the
L404F. In these cases, the L404F should be remotely located,
subject to the following:
1. All piping must be suitable and properly pitched to drain
all condensation back to the boiler.
2. The remote mounting must be solid.
3. A steam trap must be used at one end of the piping.
Boiler Mounting
If it is not convenient to mount the L404F adjacent to the
pressure gauge, install a steam trap at the location
recommended by the boiler manufacturer, then screw the
device directly to the steam trap.
Location and Mounting (L404T,V)
Location
NOTE: For most accurate operation, supplemental heat
should be added to installations where the
temperature falls below -20°F (-29°C).These
controllers can be mounted at any location in the oil
supply line, depending on the application. Typical
locations are shown in Fig. 3. The low oil pressure
controller should be located upstream from the safety
shutoff valve(s). In a downstream location, there
would be zero pressure when the burner is not
running and the safety shutoff valve(s) is (are) closed.
This could prevent startup or require manual reset
every time the burner is started. The high oil pressure
controller should be located as near to the burner as
possible.

Mounting
Mount the oil pressure controller directly on the main pipe.
Insert a tee in the pipe line, and connect a pipe nipple of
appropriate size to the tee (see Fig. 4). Screw the hexagonal
fitting (1/4-18 NPT internal thread) of the pressure controller to
the pipe nipple. To avoid leaks and damage to the case, use a
parallel jaw wrench on the hexagonal fitting close to the pipe
nipple. Do not tighten the pressure controller by hand by
holding the case.
Make all pipe connections in accordance with approved
standards. Use only a small amount of pipe compound to seal
the connection joints. Excess pipe compound may clog the
orifice in the pipe fitting and prevent the controller from
operating properly.

Using with Preheated Oil
When used with preheated oil, a siphon loop must always be
connected between the controller and the main pipe (see Fig.
5) to provide thermal buffering.
All wiring must comply with applicable codes and ordinances.
All models have terminals (on the MicroSwitch
®
snap-acting
switch) inside the cover and knockouts for conduit and cable.
Refer to manufacturer installation and wiring instructions, if
available, and to typical hookups shown in Fig. 6 to 10.

SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS
When the pressure at the control rises above the L404
setpoint, a circuit opens between the R-B terminals. During a
pressure fall, R-B will close at the setpoint pressure minus the
switch differential.
For example, if a controller is set to differential B (see Fig.11)
with a controller setpoint of A, R-B will open when the pressure
rises to A. Then during a pressure fall, the R-B terminals will
close when the pressure drops to C (A minus differential B).
For make on rise applications, the switch is wired to R-W
terminals. The R-W circuit will close on pressure rise to the
setpoint. R-W will open again on a pressure drop past the
switch differential.

Setpoint Adjustment
Turn the pressure adjusting screw on the top of the controller
(Fig. 12) to adjust the setpoint. Turn the differential adjusting
screw to the desired pressure difference between switch
opening and switch closing.
NOTE: When the main scale setting is at the lower end of the
operating range, the differential range will be less
than the differential setting by approximately 20
percent.

CHECKOUT
After the controller has been installed, wired and adjusted, it
should be tested with the system in operation. First, allow the
system to stabilize. Then, observe the operation of the
controller while raising and lowering its setpoint. Pressure
should increase when the setpoint is raised and decrease
when the setpoint is lowered.
Also, check the make and break points of the controller. If they
do not agree with a separate, accurately calibrated pressure
gauge, a slight adjustment of the scaleplate(s) may be
necessary.
Use accurate pressure testing equipment when checking out
the controller. Do not rely on inexpensive gauges. The
controllers are carefully calibrated at the factory.
