MOUNTING (See Fig. 1)
Follow the mounting instructions supplied by the fur-
nace, boiler, or burner manufacturer, if available, or use the
instructions provided below.
When replacing one of the controls listed above, iden-
tify each leadwire as it is removed from the old control by
marking the wire with the number of the RA116A terminal
to which it will be connected. Refer to Table 2 to translate
the old terminal identification to the new RA116A terminal
identification.

RA116A REPLACEMENT.

If the position of the old control was satisfactory, install
the new RA116A in the same location as the old one. Be
sure to insert the bimetal element the same distance into the
stack as the old element. If the old element was inserted
more than 5-1/2 inches [140 millimeters], also insert the
new RA116A 5-1/2 inches [140 millimeters] into the stack.
If the position of the old control was not satisfactory,
tightly close the old holes with a metal plate and follow
these instructions:
1. To determine location:
• Locate the RA116A between the boiler or furnace
and draft regulator.
• Locate the RA116A as near as possible to the
boiler or furnace.
• If mounting in an elbow, locate the element near
the outer curve where the hottest gases flow.
• Do not locate the element where the temperature
can exceed 1000° F [556° C].
2. Cut a 1-3/8 inch [35 millimeter] hole in the stack at
the desired location .

or mounting flange past the stop.
4. Insert the bimetal element at the center of the stack
in the direct path of the hottest flue gasses.
5. Tighten the lock screw.

STEP THE PYROSTAT DETECTOR CONTACTS
The detector contacts are actuated by a friction clutch
that is mounted on a rod connected directly to the heat-
actuated element. Occasionally, this clutch becomes out of
step after a long period of idleness. To place the clutch and
the contacts in step:
1. Remove the cover.
2. Pull the lever forward 1/4 inch (Fig. 4).
3. Slowly release the lever.
4. Replace the cover.
