How do I reset my Vxt 24 water feeder?

The feeder can be reset by briefly interrupting power to the heating system.

What does intermittent level test mean?

Intermittent Level Test (ILT) feature provides maximum boiler protection by removing power from the burner circuit at set intervals. Models ending in “1090” perform the ILT every 10 minutes for 90 seconds. Models ending in “2060” perform the ILT every 20 minutes for 60 seconds.

How does an automatic water feeder work?

It works by sensing the fact that water is stacking up in the piping and exerting downward pressure. Once enough downward pressure is exerted to cause the switch to ”open” then the feeder is physically disconnected from its power source.

How does a LWCO work?

To help prevent damage, boilers are fitted with low water cutoffs (LWCOs). These devices are intended to detect the low water condition and shut down the boiler. The burner remains off until the water returns, then the burner is allowed to fire normally.

What is a low water cut out?

A low-water cutoff is a mechanical device (usually a float switch) that is used to turn off the burner or shut off fuel to a boiler to prevent it from running once the water drops below a certain point. If a boiler is “dry-fired” (burned without water in it) it can suffer rupture or catastrophic failure.

How many low water cut outs are required on a boiler?

Some jurisdictional authorities require two functioning low-water fuel cutoffs on each boiler. In addition, the second low water fuel cutoff must be equipped with a manual reset in many instances.

Do I need a low water cut-off?

ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Steam heating boilers of any size, regardless of where they are installed, must have a low water cut-off per ASME BPVC. IV. The same code only requires that hot water boilers with input greater than 400,000 btu must have a low water cut-off.
