Turn off all power and remove the old control. Refer to the
cover insert of the old control to identify and tag each
external lead as it is disconnected. If the old well is
unsuitable for the new installation, remove it and proceed
with instructions for new installation. If the old well is
suitable, use it.
IMPORTANT
Best thermal response is obtained with a well
that snugly fits the sensor. Insert the sensor until
it rests against the bottom of the well. Use a well
of correct length and bend the wiring, if neces-
sary, to hold the bulb against the bottom of the
well.
1. Loosen, but do not remove, the well clamp screw on
the side of the control case.
2. Position immersion well clamp snugly over the
flange of the adapter and tighten the clamp screw.
3. Insert the sensor into the well as shown in Fig. 2 or
3. (See Replacement Sensor Installation section for
details.)
If the well is not a snug fit on the sensor, use the
heat-conductive compound (furnished with
TRADELINE models) as follows: Fold the
®
plastic bag of compound lengthwise and twist it
gently. Then snip off end of bag and work the
open end of the bag all the way into the well.
Slowly pull out the bag while squeezing it firmly
to distribute compound evenly in the well. Bend
the wiring, if necessary, to hold the sensor
against the bottom of the well and to hold outer
end of the sensor in firm contact with the side of
the well. See Fig. 2. Wipe excess compound
from the outer end of the well.

The L7224A,C and L7248A,C,L Oil Electronic Aquastat
Controllers are primary safety limit-rated devices
designed for use with oil fired boilers with line voltage
burners and circulators. Many boilers do not include
wiring or control compartments as part of the design, but
are provided with an integral, replaceable, immersion well
that is the mounting hardware for the Aquastat
Controllers. Wiring to the other controls is done through
flexible metal conduit.
Fig. 5. Circuit board, showing sensor connection and
well holes for vertical mount models.
Fuse
The 1 Amp fuse located near the transformer is intended
to protect the EnviraCOM circuit from incorrect wiring. The
Aquastat will continue to function should the fuse blow or
be removed though no EnviraCOM communication will be
possible on the bus and Err 6 will be displayed. See
Table 10.
For boilers that do include a remotely (flush) mounted
control, the wiring may be completed with conduit or
routed behind the boiler sheet metal.

Operation
M23364
The L7224 and L7248 models can be in any of four
operational states: Normal, High Limit, Low Limit and
Error. The controller moves back and forth from
High Limit to Normal to Low Limit state as part of normal
operation. Only devices having High Limit settings are
restricted to the High Limit and Normal states. However,
the controller will enter the Error state when there is an
abnormal condition. The operating states are:
Fig. 7. Setpoints and differentials.
Anti Short-Cycle Feature
The Anti Short-Cycle feature allows for field selection of a
delay time between burner cycles. Should a call for heat
occur following the end of the previous heat cycle and
before the Anti Short-Cycle delay time is expired, the
circulator will be allowed to run, but the burner will be held
off until the time has elapsed. The range of the Anti Short-
Cycle time is from OFF to five minutes.
1. Normal: Boiler temperature went below the High
Limit setting (minus the Differential) and has not
exceeded the High Limit setting; or, the boiler
temperature went above the Low Limit setting and

Water demand occurs. Domestic Hot Water
demands are serviced immediately, without
any delay.
NOTE: When the Aquastat is connected to the oil
primary and/or thermostat via the EnviraCOM
bus, the Anti Short-Cycle time does not apply
to recycle events such as loss of airflow or
flame. It applies only to loss of demand.
Thermal Purge Operation
The intent of thermal purge is to insure usable residual
heat in the boiler is circulated until it is sufficiently
depleted from the system before the burner is allowed to
fire. To that end, on a call for heat, the burner is held off
while the circulator runs until the boiler temperature drops
to the thermal purge temperature or a time delay is
exceeded. Both of these parameters are adjustable.
When the boiler temperature reaches the thermal purge
temperature, the burner is allowed to fire. Thermal purge
is only applied to cold start Aquastat models (L7248) and
will not interfere with domestic hot water call for heat or
boilers equipped with Honeywell outdoor reset
ZR-Domestic Hot Water (DHW)
Request
The ZR terminal can be selected to service an indirect
water heater heat request. This parameter is set via the 3
digit display (see Adjusting Settings section of this
document). A heat request via the ZR terminal will have
priority over all other features such as the Anti Short-
Cycle feature or those enabled by the Outdoor Reset
Module (See form #69-2335 for more information).
must be set, thermal purge is not applied.
In addition to the thermal purge temperature and thermal
purge time delay parameters, two other conditions release
the Aquastat from thermal purge in order to maintain
comfort in the space:
Frost Protection
The Frost Protection function protects the boiler and
potentially the boiler plumbing from possible damage
which may occur should the water in the system begin to
freeze. The Frost Protection feature is enabled only in the
L7248 (cold start models). The feature default setting is
enabled (ON), but can be disabled using the 3-digit
display. See “Adjusting Settings” on page 5.
•
The boiler temperature has dropped 10 °F from the
beginning of the thermal purge.
•
Boiler temperature is cooling at a rate greater than
5 °F/minute while the circulator is running.
The thermal purge feature applies to single zone as well
as multi-zone applications.
When the Boiler temperature drops to the Frost Protection
Limit temperature (fixed 40 °F), the burner is forced on.
The Circulator and ZC outputs remain in the same state
as before the Frost Protection function was enabled.
They can be either ON or OFF during the Frost Protection
cycle.
Thermal Purge Settings
Some thermal purge parameters are configurable using
the 3 digit display. See “Adjusting Settings” on page 5.
Thermal purge may be disabled by setting the thermal
purge temperature limit to "OFF".

CHECKOUT
Put the system into operation and observe at least one
complete cycle to make sure that the controller operates
properly. See TROUBLESHOOTING section to use LED
to assist in determining system operation.
TROUBLESHOOTING
When attempting to diagnose system performance,
reference to the LED display can help to identify specific
areas not working properly. The LED display will scroll
Err, followed by a digit (1-8). Refer to Table 10 and 11 for
a description of each error and suggested actions.

The Pump Cycling feature exercises the system pump for
15 seconds after a non-adjustable five day period of no
boiler activity. The Pump Cycling feature default setting is
enabled (ON) but can be disabled (OFF) using the 3-digit
display. See “Adjusting Settings” on page 5.

Warnings are generated to enunciate the system is not operating optimally, but the Aquastat is still operating and
maintaining boiler temperature. In the instance where an Outdoor Reset Module is used, the warnings may indicate a
reset curve setting error one or more features is not running optimally, and the Aquastat is reverting to default settings
or has stopped running the Outdoor Reset algorithms. The warnings are cleared when the issue(s) is resolved.
To clear Err 8 condition, depress and hold all three user keys simultaneously for 60 seconds. Err 8 condition clears
and display returns to normal. Err 8 condition is designed to catch welded relays on the Aquastat and will normally
only occur near end of life for the control. If Err 8 condition has occurred early in the controls life, be sure to check for
voltage feedback to B1 when B1 should be off and check current draw on b terminal to be sure oil burner is not draw-
ing excessive current. Err 8 condition will keep repeating if B1 fault is not cleared.
