Hot Standby on a Steam Boiler with an RWF50 or RWF55

Introduction

Hot standby is recommended on multi-boiler systems to maintain one or more backup boilers
close to operating temperature. Hot standby can be accomplished on an LMV5 with an RWF5x
controller. The procedure and operation will be described for the following two methods:
• LMV5 with an RWF5x for hot standby control only
• LMV5 with an RWF55 for hot standby and load control
Table 2 describes the six different load controller operating modes in the LMV5.

If any operating mode other than "IntLC" is used, a contact closure between terminals X62.1
and X62.2 will cause the LMV5 to revert back to operating mode "IntLC". This is necessary to
achieve hot standby on an LMV5 using the RWF5x to control the hot standby only.
