IMMERSION WELLS

Fuel Smart HydroStat can be installed on a Hydrolevel Electro-Well™ or on an existing immersion well already in the boiler.

IMPORTANT: The control will only provide low water cut-off protection when installed on an Electro-Well™.

Installing HydroStat

with Hydrolevel Electro-Well™

When installed on an Electro-Well™ (sold separately), the Low
Water Cut-Off function is automatically activated. Heat transfer
grease should not be used. NOTE: For proper operation, there must
be 1/2" clearance between the copper well tube and any furnace
within the boiler.

See Electro-Well™ models on page 15.

Installing HydroStat

with Standard Immersion Well

When installing on a standard immersion well, the LWCO func­tion should be turned off (see page 9 for instructions). A buildup of

heat transfer grease or other coatings in older wells can interfere
with continuity between the sensor and the well causing a false low
water shutdown. Turning off the LWCO function will prevent this
from occurring.

MOUNTING THE CONTROL

IMPORTANT Make sure that the immersion well or Electro-Well™ is installed in the boiler manufacturer’s designated

temperature limit control tapping.

NOTE:

If installing an Electro-Well, pipe sealing compound should be used. Teflon tape is not recommended.

STEP 1

back of the control (Fig. 1). Select which of the two positions
(2 knockouts) is best for the location of the control. Remove the
knockout.

Two mounting positions are available on the

BACK OF FUEL SMART HYDROSTAT BOX

STEP 2 Place control on the well. While

holding box against well nut, tighten well clamp
screw. (Fig. 2)

STEP 3 Insert sensor ALL THE WAY into well

through the knockout (A or B) you have chosen.
(Fig. 3)

NOTE: In the case of space restrictions, the Fuel Smart HydroStat

control may be mounted in a horizontal orientation without any loss
of function. Hydrolevel recommends vertical mounting, when possi­ble, for proper orientation of LED display.

REMOTE MOUNTING KITS

Remote Mounting Kits are available separately for mounting the
Fuel Smart HydroStat control box in a remote location. Each kit
includes mounting hardware and a remote sensor.

WIRING

WARNING

Electrical shock hazard. To prevent electrical shock, death or equipment damage, disconnect power supply before
installing or servicing this control.

STEP 1

Connect 120 VAC Hot to terminal L1. Connect 120 VAC
Common to terminal L2. Disconnect means and overload
protection as required (provided by others).

STEP 2

Connect the burner circuit to B1-B2. (B2 is common.)

STEP 3

Connect the circulator to C1-C2. (C2 is common.)

STEP 4

Connect the thermostat to T/TV.

STEP 5

If the boiler is equipped with a plug-in style vent damper,
unplug the factory installed jumper from the receptacle on the
circuit board and replace it with the vent damper plug.

WARNING

Electrical shock hazard. To prevent electrical shock, death or equipment damage, disconnect power supply before
installing or servicing this control.

STEP 6 For Systems with Indirect Water Heaters

When installing with an indirect water heater, the signal from the indirect must be separated from the heating zone signals and
wired to I1 and I2 as shown above. Calls to I1 and I2 will bypass the Thermal Targeting or Outdoor Reset feature and allow
the boiler to fire to the high limit setting to heat the indirect tank.
NOTE: If you choose not to separate the indirect signal from the heating zones, the Economy Feature should be turned OFF to
insure that the boiler supplies adequate temperature to heat the indirect tank (see page 6).

ZONE VALVE WIRING

IMPORTANT: Use a separate transformer to power zone valves. Connecting zone valves to Z-TV may overload the
HydroStat and cause a lock-out condition (see Troubleshooting on page 12 for more information). The total load, including
the burner circuit, vent damper, and Z-TV connections must not exceed 1.2 amps (30 VA). Connect zone valve end-switch
to T/TV as shown below.
