L7224U OIL ELECTRONIC AQUASTAT
Well-Mounted Aquastat
Replacement
Turn off all power and remove the old controller. Refer to
the cover insert of the old controller 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.
1. Loosen, but do not remove, the well clamp screw on
the side of the controller 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. 5.
(If desired, distribute the heat-conductive com-
pound in the tube prior to sensor insertion, as
described in New Installation.)
4. Make sure sensor is fully seated to bottom of well
(Fig. 5). Use a small pencil to measure depth of
sensor in well, if necessary.

Replacement Sensor Installation
Turn off all power and carefully disconnect sensor from
circuit board by pulling gently on the connector.
1. Gently pull sensor from thermo well and through cir-
cuit board by pulling on leadwires.
2. Carefully align replacement sensor with hole in
circuit board and guide through Aquastat case and
into well. Refer to Fig. 5.
3. Make sure sensor is fully seated to bottom of well
(see Fig. 5). Use a small pencil to measure depth of
sensor in well, if necessary.
4. Connect sensor to circuit board by pressing
connector on sensor unit into mating connector on
circuit board (refer to Fig. 6).
5. For remote sensors (flush mounted Aquastat) be
sure to use the 121371AA clamp to securely hold
sensor in place. See Accessories.

IMPORTANT
The terminals on these Aquastat Controllers are
approved for use with copper wire only.
Follow the appropriate wiring diagrams shown on the
inside of the front cover of the L7224U or in Fig. 9, 10, and
11.
Refer to Fig. 6 for Connections for the optional Outdoor
Reset Module and the Domestic Hot Water (DHW)
module. In subsequent wiring diagrams these modules
will be displayed with a dotted line signifying that they are
optional.

OPERATION
General
The L7224U Oil Electronic Aquastat Controller is a
primary safety limit-rated device designed for use with oil
fired boilers with line voltage burners and circulators.
Many boilers do not include wiring or controller
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 controllers is done through flexible metal
conduit.
For boilers that do include a remotely (flush) mounted
controller, the wiring may be completed with conduit or
routed behind the boiler sheet metal.
A separate electromechanical High Limit is not required in
a system that uses this controller to meet Underwriters
Laboratories Inc. requirements for oil-fired boiler
assemblies, UL 726.
On the L7224U, the High Limit, High Limit Differential,
Low Limit, and Low Limit Differential and Anti-Short Cycle
time can be adjusted to the setting recommended by the
boiler OEM.
The overall range of the High Limit is from 130° F to
240° F (54° C to 116° C). Select devices may have
different ranges. Some models have limited ranges on the
High Limit setpoint; this limited range is listed on the
device label.
