L8124A,C,E,L and M
Aquastat® Relays
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
APPLICATION
SPECIFICATIONS
These immersion type controllers are used with forced
hydronic heating systems that include domestic hot water
service. All models provide high limit, low limit and
circulator control. Table 1 lists the various models and
their applications.
Low Limit:
Setting: 110°F to 220°F (43°C to 104°C), adjustable.
Differential: 10°F to 25°F (6°C to 14°C), adjustable.
These Aquastat® relays have a diaphragm powerhead
and MicroSwitch™ assembly that respond to
temperature changes in the boiler water. L8124 can
provide multizone control by using a separate circulator
and R845 Relay for each zone. L8124E and L have large
transformers and extra terminals for supplying power to
low voltage valves. L8124L includes a large transformer
and extra terminals for low voltage zone valves. L8124M
is for use in a wood-coal/gas-oil multifuel heating system.
Circulator is independently controlled by the thermostat.
High Limit:
Setting: 130°F to 240°F (54°C to 116°C), adjustable.
Differential: 10°F (6°C), fixed.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard.
Can cause serious injury, death or property
damage.
Use this product only in systems with a pressure
relief valve.
Do not use these Aquastat® Relays where the pressure
can exceed 100 psi (690 kPa) on the bulb if inserted
directly or 200 psi (1380 kPa) when using an immersion
well, or where the ambient temperature can exceed
150°F (66°C) at the case or 265°F (129°C) at the sensing
element.

with the relay.) Refer to form 68-0040, Wells and Fittings
for Temperature Controllers, to order well. A compression
fitting is available for applications where direct immersion
of the sensing bulb is desired. A 124904 Well Adapter
(see Fig. 2) can be ordered separately to adapt some
other wells to the mounting clamp. The boiler must be
provided with a tapping that allows horizontal mounting of
the well. It should be located where boiler water of
average temperature can circulate around the well.

Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
them could damage the product or cause a
hazardous condition.
Check the ratings given in the instructions and on
the product to make sure the product is suitable for
your application.
Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
After installation is complete, check out product
operation as provided in these instructions.

NOTE: Do not use the case as a handle to tighten.
WARNING

5.
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can cause severe injury, death or equipment
damage.
Disconnect power supply before beginning
installation to prevent electrical shock or
equipment damage.

IMPORTANT
1. Terminals on these Aquastat Relays are
approved for copper wire only.
2. Immersion well must fit sensing element and
bulb must rest against bottom of well.
Bend the tubing, if necessary, to hold the bulb against the
bottom of the well. Do not make a sharp bend in the
tubing. A sharp bend can produce a break in the tubing
and cause loss of fill. This condition will cause the high
and low limit controllers to be continuously made.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can cause severe injury, death or equipment
damage.
Disconnect power before wiring to prevent
electrical shock or equipment damage.
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances. The limits given in the Specifications section
must not be exceeded when applying this control.
Terminals on these Aquastat Relays are approved for
copper wire only.

Refer to the insert on the inside of the Aquastat Relay
cover or to Table 1 for electrical ratings and maximum
load information. Use manufacturer instructions when
wiring controlled equipment or refer to typical hookups in
Fig. 3 through 11.

WARNING
Explosion Hazard.
Can cause severe injury, death or property

Use this product only in systems with a pressure
relief valve.
If the B1 terminal on the device being replaced is a 1/4 in.
(6 mm) tab terminal, use the existing wiring harness
terminals to install the replacement device. If the B1
terminal on the device being replaced is a screw
terminal, insert the provided tab terminal to screw
terminal adapter on the 1/4 in. (6 mm) tab terminal of the
replacement device. After the adapter is installed, the
existing wraparound wire end may be reused to make an
electrical connection to the B1 terminal.

Mounting
Each relay is suitable for use with an immersion well for
insertion into the boiler. (Check individual OS number
specifications to determine whether a well is supplied
95-6571—11
Refill boiler and check for water leakage.
Loosen but do not remove the clamp screw on
the bottom (L8124A,E) or on top (L8124C,L,M)
of case.
Insert the element in the well until it bottoms.
See Fig. 2.
Fit the case onto the well so that the clamp on the
case slides over the flange on the well. Securely
tighten clamp screw.
WIRING
Select models have an adjustable capillary length.
See Fig. 1.

Turn off all power and drain the boiler.
If no tapping is provided, prepare one, properly
sized and threaded, at the selected location.
Install the immersion well in the boiler tapping and
tighten securely.

OPERATION
EXAMPLE: Setpoint of 140°F (60°C), differential set
at 25°F (14°C). On a temperature rise, R-B breaks
and R-W makes at 155°F (68°C). On a temperature
fall, R-B makes and R-W breaks at 130°F (54°C).
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 10°F (6°C) differential.

Low Limit and Circulator Controllers
On a temperature rise, with the adjustable differential at
the minimum setting of 10°F (6°C), the burner circuit
(R-B) breaks and the circulator circuit (R-W) makes at
the control setpoint. On a temperature drop of 10°F (6°C)
below the setpoint, the R-B circuit makes and the R-W
circuit breaks. See Fig. 12.

At any differential setting greater than 10°F (6°C), the

On the L8124M, the burner and circulator circuits are
separately controlled; the low limit controls the burner
circuit (R-B) as described above, while the low voltage
thermostat directly controls the circulator circuit.

at least 20°F (11°C) higher than the low limit setting. Set
the indicators over the selected temperature marks. The
low limit differential is set by turning the differential
adjustment knob to the desired amount of differential.
