S9361A207X INTEGRATED BOILER CONTROLLERS

Mounting Sensor and 
Thermowell
The remote upper temperature sensor is installed in 
an immersion well (Fig. 6) that extends into the supply 
water side of the boiler.
Immersion Well Fitting
The immersion well must snugly fit the sensing bulb 
for good thermal response. Install as follows:
1. Use tapping provided by tank manufacturer, if 
possible, or select an area where typical water 
temperature is best measured.
2. If tank is filled, drain to below point where bulb 
will be installed.
3. Screw well into tank.
4. Insert bulb into well, pushing wires until bulb 
bottoms in well.
5. Attach mounting clamp end of well spud.
6. 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. 6), adjust 
sensing leadwire to fit through mounting clamp 
groove, as shown at point B in Fig. 6.
7. Tighten draw nut until mounting clamp is firmly 
attached to well spud and wires are held securely 
in place.
Do not secure draw nut so tightly that 
mounting clamp collapses tubing.

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.
OPERATION AND 
CHECKOUT
Operation
The S9361A207x continuously monitors the 
temperature of the boiler water and enables or 
disables the burner based on this temperature data. In 
general, when a “Call for Heat” occurs, the ignition 
portion of the control module proceeds through the 
steps necessary to start the burner and heats the 
water in the boiler until the setpoint temperature is 
achieved. At this point the burner is de-activated, the 
ignition module completes the heating cycle, returns 
to idle and waits for the temperature to drop again. 
The circulator is turned on throughout the “Call for 
Heat.”
See Fig. 7 for a graphical representation of a simple 
control cycle. Note that the setpoint differential may 
vary based on OS number.
High Limit Controller
All models include a 3-wire temperature sensor 
interface, “Boiler temperature,” which is utilized for 
High Limit functionality in addition to the 
thermostatic control of the water heater burner. If the 
temperature sensor ever indicates a temperature 
above the maximum limit then the control enters over 
temperature mode. In over temperature mode no 
heating will occur.

Thermal Purge Operation
Thermal Purge Feature
When there is a Heat Request active, the circulator will 
be started and boiler firing will be delayed until the 
inferred heat load cannot be met by the residual heat 
of the water in the system.
Boiler Firing Pre-purge
After a Heat Request is detected, the system pump is 
started and the Pump pre-purge Timer starts. Boiler is 
off during Pump pre-purge time.
Boiler Firing Pre-purge Expiration
After Pump pre-purge timer reaches its maximum 
given by Pump Pre-purge Time parameter and the 
Heat Request is still active, the boiler is started.
Boiler Firing Pre-purge Termination
If boiler firing is postponed and water temperature 
drops below 140 °F (field adjustable), the boiler shall 
be started after a 15 second delay regardless of the 
Pump pre-purge timer value. When a Heat Request is 
detected and the boiler water temperature is already 
less than 140 °F (field adjustable), the boiler start 
sequence is initiated after 15 seconds regardless of 
the Pump pre-purge timer value. Once the boiler is 
started, the Pump pre-purge timer is considered to be 
expired until the next heating cycle.
