WARM START
(maintains temperature for domestic hot water)
Low Limit Switch = ON
COLD START
Low Limit Switch = OFF
Example
High Limit = 180°
Differential = 10°
On a call for heat, the burner will 
shut off at 180° and restart at 
170° (180°-10°). The circulator 
will run as long as there is a call 
for heat. 
High Temperature Limit
(Adjustable 100° to 220°F)
De-energizes burner at HIGH 
LIMIT setting
High Temperature Limit
(Adjustable 100° to 220°F)
De-energizes burner at HIGH 
LIMIT setting
High Temperature 
Differential
(Adjustable 10° to 30°F)
Re-energizes burner when 
temperature falls to the HIGH 
LIMIT DIFFERENTIAL set point
High Temperature 
Differential
(Adjustable 10° to 30°F)
Re-energizes burner when

Low Temperature Limit
(Adjustable 110° to 200°F)
De-energizes burner at LOW 
LIMIT setting
Low Temperature 
Differential
(Adjustable 10° to 30°F)
Re-energizes burner when 
temperature falls to the LOW 
LIMIT DIFFERENTIAL set point
Example
High Limit = 180°
Differential = 10°
On a call for heat, the burner will 
shut off at 180° and restart at 
170° (180°-10°). The circulator 
will run as long as there is a call 
for heat.
Example
Low Limit = 150°
Differential = 10°
When there is no call for heat, 
the burner fires at 
140°
(150°-10°) to maintain boiler 
temperature. Burner shuts off 
at 150°.
NOTE: To prioritize domestic hot 
water the HydroStat control will 
not allow the circulator to 
operate at any time the 
temperature is below the low 
limit setting.

NOTE: Be careful not to select overlapping temperature settings.
For example: If the HIGH TEMPERATURE LIMIT is set at
190°F with a HIGH TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL set at 20°F,
then the LOW TEMPERATURE LIMIT needs to be set at 170°F
(190°F - 20°F = 170°F) or below.
IMPORTANT: To prevent flue gas condensation and reduce fatigue
caused by thermal cycling on conventional (non-condensing) boilers,
both HIGH and LOW LIMIT set points should be 150°F or above
(Limit Setting - Differential Setting ≥ 150°F). Boiler manufacturerʼs
temperature requirements supercede these recommendations.
