8J48A
Relay-Hot Water Control
For use with 24 VAC or Self-Generating Gas Valve
WHITE-RODGERS
(Suitable for External Zone Valve Load)
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Operator: Save these instructions for future use!
FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
DESCRIPTION
These relay-hot water controls combine a high limit control, a
transformer, a circulator relay, and wiring terminals into a single
unit. They are suitable for use on boilers equipped with a 24 volt
or millivolt gas valve.
These controls are designed primarily for use on boilers that do
not supply domestic hot water. (However, they are equipped
with an extra terminal to permit them to be used on boilers with
a tankless domestic coil by the addition of a separate SPDT low
limit-circulator control on systems using a 24 volt gas valve.)
The internal transformer supplies power for operating a gas
valveaswellastherelaycoil. Onsystemszoneswithmotorized
water valves, the internal transformer may also be used for
powering some (or all) of the water valves.
PRECAUTIONS
If in doubt about whether your wiring is millivolt, line, or low
voltage, have it inspected by a qualified heating and air condi-
tioning contractor, electrician, or someone familiar with basic
electricity and wiring.
CAUTION
!
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage,
disconnect electric power to system, at main fuse or
circuit breaker box, until installation is complete.
Do not exceed the specification ratings.
All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes
and ordinances.
WARNING
!
This control is a precision instrument, and should be handled
carefully.Roughhandlingordistortingcomponentscouldcause
the control to malfunction.
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage.
Higher voltage will damage control and could cause
shock or fire hazard.
Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary
control to test. Short or incorrect wiring will burn out
heat anticipator. Personal injury and/or property dam-
age may result from shorted or incorrect wiring.

WIRING AND OPERATION
All wiring should be installed according to local and national electrical codes and ordinances.
Figure4showswiringconnectionsforatypicalinstallationusing
the 8J48A with a 36C03 or a 36C53 24V manifold gas valve.
Figure 5 shows wiring connections for the 8J48A with a 36C03U
or 36C53U self-generating gas valve. Operation is as follows:
AUTO/MANUAL SWITCH
NOTE
For manual operation of self-generating millivolt systems
only.
As the room thermostat contacts close, the relay coil is ener-
gized and closes its two sets of relay contacts. The manifold gas
valveopensastheno.1relaycontactsclose,whilethecirculator
motor starts as the no. 2 relay contacts close.
The manual switch, located on the outside of the controls case,
allows operation of the burner during power failures. When the
switch is set to MANUAL, the burner will operate continuously
until the high limit temperature is reached. The circulator, which
requires line voltage to operate, will not function in MANUAL
mode. When power is restored, reset the switch to AUTO to
resume automatic operation.
When the room thermostat opens its contacts, the manifold gas
valve closes and the circulator motor stops.
If the boiler temperature exceeds the setting of the high limit
whilethethermostatiscallingforheat,thehighlimitwillclosethe
gas valve but permit the circulator to run as long as the
thermostat is calling for heat.
