The P7810 uses integral electronic pressure sensors to sense
pressure at the inlet through an internal manifold. The control
sensor connects to the internal manifold with 1/4 inch NPT
threads and provides the pressure signal to control a relay for
the on/off control function. The same sensor provides the
information for the 4 to 20 mA firing rate modulation output.
A separate integral electronic pressure sensor is required to
provide the high limit function. This sensor also connects to the
internal manifold with 1/4 inch NPT threads P7810C devices
contain two internal sensors and require a 1/2 inch NPT
mounting to the steam pressure header. Devices with high
limits lock out at setpoint and require manual reset when
pressure returns below the setpoint. Devices will not reset with
power interruption.
The P7810C has on/off function, 4 to 20 mA modulation control
output, and safety high limit function in one control. A 1/2 inch
NPT mounting is required to the steam pressure header.
Pressure On/Off Control Function
When pressure increases to the control setpoint, the control
relay contacts open. The relay contacts close when the
pressure decreases to a level at or below (differential) the
control range differential setting. This cycle continues until
power is removed, opening the relay. See Fig. 10.

Modulate Control Function
When the pressure decreases to or below the modulation
setpoint, the current is 20 mA. The current remains constant at
all pressures below the modulation setpoint.
The modulation range is an additive value to the modulation
setpoint value.
When the pressure increases above the modulation setpoint,
the current decreases linearly until the modulation range point
is reached. The output current is 4 mA at and above this
pressure. See Fig. 11.

Equipment Damage Hazard.
Exceeding pressure vessel limits can damage
equipment.
The Maximum Fixed Stop Limit pressure setting must
not exceed the maximum working pressure rating of
the pressure vessel. Adjust the Maximum Fixed Stop Limit setting to the maximum working pressure rating
that is stamped on the pressure vessel by the
manufacturer.
b. To set the High Limit Setpoint. This is the desired
pressure value to which the P7810C control is
adjusted at at which it performs its intended function
(i.e., safety shutdown).
The High Limit Setpoint can be set lower than the internal
stored Maximum Fixed Stop Limit Value and will provide
system lockout at the knob setting. For example, the internal
stored Maximum Fixed Stop Limit Value is 12 psi and the knob
is set at 10 psi. System lockout is at 10 psi. The LED pattern
will be green on and yellow blinking slowly.
The High Limit Setpoint can be set above the internal stored
Maximum Fixed Stop Limit Value but it will have no functional
effect. For example, the internal stored Maximum Fixed Stop
Limit Value is 12 psi and knob is set at 14 psi. Lockout will
occur at 12 psi. The LED pattern will be green on and yellow
blinking fast.
When pressure increases to the high limit setpoint, the relay
contacts (1K1, 2K1) open and the P7810C indicates a safety
lockout by alternately flashing the yellow and green LED. The
P7810C remains in this condition until the manual reset button
(see Fig. 1) is pressed. The Alarm relay contacts (3K1) will
close, providing a 120 Vac output on the Alarm terminal.
Reset Switch Functions
The Reset Switch has the functions listed in Table 5.

Changing the Maximum Fixed Stop
Limit Value Setting (if Run Time is
less than one hour [For Series 1 and
2] or less than eight hours [For
Series 3 or greater])
1. Remove power from the P7810C.
2. Press and hold the Reset Switch, then apply power to
the P7810C.
3. When the green LED blinks rapidly, release the Reset
Switch.
4. Follow the steps in Setting the Maximum Fixed Stop
Limit Value, above.
NOTE: If both LED turn on, the configuration timer (one hour)
has expired. Release the Reset Switch and continue
normal operation. Changing the Maximum Fixed Stop
Limit Value Setting is no longer allowed.
Checking the Maximum Fixed Stop
Limit Value (Stored in Memory)
1. Record the original location of the Limit setpoint knob.
Make sure that the Limit setpoint knob is set (moved to)
a lower value than the Maximum Fixed Stop Limit Value
setpoint. The green LED will be reflective of the call for
heat status and the yellow LED will blink slowly.
IMPORTANT
Do not decrease the Limit Setpoint knob far enough
to cause a lockout.
2. Very slowly increase the Limit setpoint knob until the yel-
low LED begins to blink fast. The current position of the
Limit setpoint now represents the Maximum Fixed Stop
Limit Value setpoint stored in memory.
3. Return the Limit setpoint knob to the original location
(step 1).
Setting High Limit Setpoint
After the Maximum Fixed Stop Limit Value has been stored into
memory, adjust the Limit setpoint knob to the desired pressure
value at which safety shutdown (lockout) will occur when the
vessel pressure exceeds this setpoint value.
NOTE: The High Limit setpoint value can be less than or
equal to the Maximum Fixed Stop Limit Value but cannot be set to a value higher than the Maximum Fixed
Stop Limit Value.
Pressure On/Off Control
Adjust the setpoint and differential using the potentiometer
knobs on the front of the controller. The differential is a
subtractive value from the setpoint adjustment. The upper
operating point is determined by the control setpoint, while the
lower operating point is determined by the control range setting
(control setpoint minus the differential setting).
Set the potentiometer knobs to the desired point by aligning
the center of the arrow on the potentiometer knob with the
desired mark on the scale plate. See Fig. 12.
Yellow LED ON constantly indicates power applied; green LED
On indicates closed contact or call for heat.

The P7810C adds 4 to 20 mA modulation output and uses two
additional potentiometers. The pressure sensor output is fed to
an error and gain amplifier to perform the modulation
determined by the control potentiometer settings.
The potentiometer knobs mounted on the P7810C face adjust
the current output for a given set of pressures.
The modulation range is an additive value to the modulation
setpoint value.
LED Display (Tables 7 and 8)
The yellow LED is always lit with power applied to the P7810C
PressureTrol® Controller. The microprocessor changes the
brightness of the yellow LED to indicate normal operation,
turns the green LED on and off to indicate call for heat status
and flashes both LED to indicate a fault.
NOTE: The P7810C must be powered and in the Run mode.
NOTE: The term “flashing” means on/off/on/off for the green
LED and bright/dim/bright/dim for the yellow LED.

CHECKOUT
Electrical Shock Hazard and Explosion Hazard.
Can cause severe injury, death or property damage.
1. Line voltage is present at the P7810C and all
controller circuits. Use extreme care during
checkout.
2. This checkout procedure disables the Safety High
Limit function.
IMPORTANT
1. Do not put the system into service until all applicable
tests described in the Checkout section of the
instructions for the primary safety control and any
additional tests required by the burner or boiler
manufacturer are satisfactorily completed.
2. Close all manual fuel shutoff valves when trouble
occurs.
After installation and wiring, check out the P7810C
PressureTrol® Controller with the system in operation.
Checkout
1. Allow the system to stabilize.
2. Observe the operation of the P7810C while raising and
lowering the setpoint. Pressure increases when the
setpoint is increased and decreases when the setpoint is
decreased.
3. Check the make and break points of the P7810C. If they
do not agree with a separate, accurately calibrated
pressure gauge, make a slight adjustment according to
the scale. Use accurate pressure testing equipment
when checking out the P7810C. Do not rely on
inexpensive gauges. The P7810C is carefully calibrated
at the factory.
Test the P7810C PressureTrol® Controller as follows:
NOTE: Make sure the P7810C is operating properly by
checking the LED indicators. If the P7810C LED
indicate a lockout condition, press the manual Reset
Switch.
NOTE: This procedure simulates pressure changes using
knob setpoint adjustments. Make knob adjustments
very slowly because of filtering delays within the
P7810C (20 to 25 seconds for full scale changes).
Inaccuracy can result if knob adjustments are not
made very slowly. To observe actual P7810C control
accuracy, set the knobs to normal operating values.
Compare the knob settings to the boiler pressure
readings where P7810C actions occur.
To check the control setpoint of the P7810C:

WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
1. Note the boiler pressure by checking the boiler pressure
gauge. To properly perform these tests, the boiler
pressure should be near the middle of the P7810C
pressure range.
2. Turn the P7810C Limit setpoint knob fully clockwise to
make sure this limit does not interfere during steps 4 and
5. This setting must be returned to the proper operating
position when return the system to normal operation.
3. Check the control setpoint and control differential.
4. Set the control differential knob to the center of its range.
5. Turn the control setpoint knob fully counterclockwise and
make sure the P7810C control circuit is open and the
green LED is off (no call for heat).
6. Read the boiler pressure gauge and add this number to
the control differential setting.
7. Turn the control setpoint knob slowly clockwise and
make sure the control circuit closes and the P7810C
indicates a call for heat (green LED on) when the
P7810C control setpoint passes through the value determined in step 6.
8. Turn the control setpoint knob slowly counterclockwise
and make sure the control circuit opens and the P7810C
no longer indicates a call for heat (green LED off) when
the control setpoint passes through the boiler pressure
gauge value.
Check the modulation setpoint and modulation range of the
P7810C as follows:
1. Set the P7810C modulation range knob to the center of
the range.
2. Turn the modulation setpoint knob fully clockwise and
make sure the firing rate motor travels to the fully open
position (boiler is firing).
3. Turn the modulation knob slowly counterclockwise and
make sure the firing rate motor starts moving toward the
closed position when the modulation setpoint passes
through the boiler pressure gauge value. (Alternately,
make sure the current starts decreasing toward 4 mA.)
4. Determine the pressure point at which minimum
modulation output will occur by checking the boiler
pressure gauge and subtracting the modulation range
knob setting (at midpoint).
5. Turn the modulation setpoint knob slowly
counterclockwise and make sure the firing rate motor
continues to move to the closed position. Make sure the
firing rate motor reaches the lowfire position when the
modulation setpoint reaches the pressure point identified
in step 4 above. (Alternately, make sure the measured
current decreases gradually toward 4 mA.)
Check the limit setpoint as follows (boiler pressure required):
1. Turn the control setpoint knob clockwise until the control
circuit closes. Make sure the yellow LED is flashing and
the green LED is on, indicating normal operation with a
call for heat.
2. Turn the limit setpoint knob slowly counterclockwise and
make sure that the P7810C opens the circuit and
indicates a safety lockout by alternately flashing the
yellow and green LED (see LED Display section) when
the limit setpoint passes through the boiler pressure
gauge value.
3. Make sure that the Alarm output is energized.
Check for normal system operation as follows:
1. Set all knobs to the required operating position.
2. Press the Reset Switch to clear the safety lockout
condition.
3. Start the system and observe the operation through at
least one complete cycle to make sure the P7810C
functions properly as described in the Operation section.
