Kenmore KWX - 3V Boiler User Manual


 
PWX WITH STANDING PILOT:
Thermostat calls for heat, completing the circuit to the aquastat and gas valve. The sequence is as follows: The
LED light indicating a call for heat and circulator, in the control panel, will illuminate. The automatic vent damper
will begin to open. When the vent damper is completely open and the end switches are made, the gas valve /
burner LED light will illuminate and the main valve will open, lighting all the burners. The burners will continue to
fire until either the thermostat or high limit, in the aquastat, is satisfied. If the high limit is satisfied and a call for
heat remains from the thermostat, the main valve will close, shutting off gas supply to the burners and the
associated LED light in the control panel. The circulator will continue to operate and circulator LED light will
remain on until the thermostat is satisfied.
Please note the main power LED light, in the control panel, will remain on until line voltage to the boiler is turned
off or disconnected.
