FRONT
The Safgard 250MWC manual reset incorporates a 90-second time delay that prevents nuisance lockouts. During
temporary low water conditions such as column blow-down, excessive surge or slow condensate return, the burner
will shut down immediately but will not lock out for 90 seconds. The burner will restart automatically if the water
returns to a safe level within 90 seconds. The manual reset does not require resetting after a power failure.
Likewise, power interruptions will not reset the manual reset once engaged. With the Safgard manual reset design,
a genuine low water condition must be detected before reset is actuated and the only procedure for resetting a
tripped reset involves operator contact.

BLOW-DOWN & TEST PROCEDURE
CAUTION!- Blow down valve should be piped to a proper drain connection to avoid exposure to
steam discharge. Severe injury could result from failure to follow these instructions.
Blow down the 250WC Series control when the water level is at its normal operating level (between middle and upper
probe) - with the the burner on.
Slowly open the column blow-down valve. The water level should begin to drop in the site glass. When water falls
below the middle probe, the pump or valve should energize. Continue draining the blow down column until water has
fallen below the bottom probe. Boiler should shut down immediately. Close the blow-down valve. Water should begin
to rise in the site glass. The burner should refire after covering the bottom probe and water should continue to rise in
the site glass. When water reaches the top probe the burner should continue to fire and the pump or valve should de-
energize. If the control fails to react as described above recheck wiring and/or probes for sludge or sediment buildup.
In addition to the blow-down and test procedure above, the probes should be removed and examined annually. The
probes can usually be cleaned with a soft cloth although they are rugged enough to be cleaned with steel wool or a
scouring pad if a more crystaline or solid buildup is present. Probes should be inspected and cleaned more often on
systems with high make-up water or untreated boiler water.
