Controllers
GENERAL
L8100A,B, and C are immersion type controllers for
regulating and limiting the tank temperature in water heaters.
As the water temperature rises past the setpoint, the
controller switches off the gas valve.
FEATURES
• L8100A regulates tank temperature and provides
energy cutoff (ECO) action on a temperature rise past
the setpoint.
• L8100B regulates temperature and provides ECO
action on a temperature rise past the setpoint. This
model includes a second sensing element that senses
average water temperature to minimize stacking.
• L8100C includes a second sensing element that
senses average water temperature to minimize
stacking, but does not include ECO action.
• Fluid filled element operates single pole single throw
(spst) snap-acting Micro Switch™.
• Energy cutoff (ECO) switch enclosed in factory
installed well of L8100A,B interrupts the thermocouple
circuit or main valve before the tank reaches
maximum temperature of 210°F (99°C).
• Internal adjustment screw.
• Immersion well is factory installed to the controller.
• Special switch terminal provides three-wire hookup
from Aquastat® controller to gas valve.
• Four terminal models for manual reset with S86/
VR8204/VR8440.

INSTALLATION
When Installing this Product...
쐃 Read instructions carefully. Failure to follow them could
damage the product or cause a hazardous condition.
쐇 Check ratings and descriptions given in the
specifications to make sure the product is suitable for
your application.
쐋 Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
쐏 After installation is complete, check out product
operation as provided in these instructions.
CAUTION
Disconnect power before installation to prevent
electrical shock or equipment damage.
Mounting Direct Immersion Well
The manufacturer usually provides a tapping for insertion of
the controller sensing element. This tapping is located at a
point where typical water temperature can be measured.
Follow the instructions furnished by the system manufacturer,
if available, or use the procedure below. See Fig. 3.

IMPORTANT
The controller immersion well is factory-installed to
the controller. Do not remove the immersion well,
this could damage the ECO switch.
쐃 If system is filled, drain to a point below the tapping.
쐇 Remove plug from tapping.
쐋 If tapping is suitable, carefully screw immersion well
into tapping. Do not tighten or apply force to the
controller case.
쐏 Fill tank. Make sure that well is screwed in tightly
enough to prevent leakage.
Mounting Remote Bulb (L8100B and L8100C)
The remote temperature sensing bulb is installed in an
immersion well (Fig. 4) or located near a capillary
compression fitting (Fig. 5) that extends into the upper portion
of the tank to prevent stacking.
Immersion Well Fitting
The immersion well must snugly fit the sensing bulb for good
thermal response. Install as follows:
쐃 Use tapping provided by tank manufacturer, if possible,
or select an area where typical water temperature is
best measured.
쐇 If tank is filled, drain to below point where bulb will be
installed.
쐋 Screw well into tank.
쐏 Insert bulb into well, pushing tubing until bulb bottoms
in well.
쐄 Attach mounting clamp end of well spud. Loosen draw
nut and spread jaws of clamp with screwdriver if
necessary.
쐂 With mounting clamp attached to well spud (make sure
jaws of clamp hook over ridge at end of spud, as shown
at points A in Fig. 4), adjust tubing to fit through
mounting clamp groove, as shown at point B in Fig. 4.
쐆 Tighten draw nut until mounting clamp is firmly attached
to well spud and tubing is held securely in place.
CAUTION
Do not secure draw nut so tightly that mounting clamp
collapses tubing.
Capillary Compression Fitting
쐃 Use tapping provided by manufacturer, if possible, or
select an area where typical water temperature is best
measured.
쐇 If tank is filled, drain to below point where bulb will be
installed.
쐋 Screw fitting into boiler tank tapping.
쐏 Place packing nut on tubing.
쐄 Slide bulb completely through fitting.
쐂 Place composition disk and four slotted brass washers
on tubing in order shown in Fig. 5.
Turn brass washers
so slots are 180 degrees apart.
쐆 Slide seal assembly into fitting and tighten packing nut.

Wiring
Disconnect power supply before installation to prevent
electrical shock or equipment damage. All wiring must comply
with local codes and ordinances regarding wire size, type of
insulation, enclosure, etc. Fig. 6 through 11 show typical
Powerpile® (millivolt) gas control connections; Fig. 12 and 13
show typical connections for 24 Vac systems; Fig. 14 through
16 show an L8100 hookup with an S86E,F,G, or H
Intermittent Pilot System.
Some four-terminal models are shipped with jumper in place
for use as three-terminal models. Remove jumper for four-
terminal operation.

OPERATION AND CHECKOUT
Operation
When tank temperature rises past the setpoint, the liquid fill in
the sensing element expands and activates the snap-acting
switch, closing the gas valve. When the water temperature
drops below the differential, the switch opens the gas valve
and the burner begins heating the water. The ECO switch will
break the circuit to the Powerpile® millivolt generator or 24
Vac main valve before the water temperature rises to 210°F
(99°C).
The second element of the L8100B,C is located at the top of
the tank. These two elements sense the average temperature
in the tank. If a stacking condition begins, the L8100B,C will
close the valve before the top tank temperature becomes
excessive.
Adjusting
Adjust the control point to agree with the manufacturer’s
recommendations. To adjust, remove the cover and set the
scale to the desired control point (see Fig. 17).

Checkout
Check to verify the Aquastat® controller was installed and
adjusted properly. Put the system into operation and observe
the action of the device through several cycles to make
certain that it provides proper control of the system. Further
adjustments can then be made to meet more exact comfort
requirements.
