I have a Honeywell 6006A aquastat that I would like to use as an outfire control on my EFM. Although I have piped and wired a few stokers in the past I have never put an outfire control on them. The schematic shows that R B opens and R W closes on temperature increase. Am I correct to assume that I will only be using the R and W terminals???? Also, does it matter which terminal I connect the incoming hot line to?? I understand the need for a bypass switch to restart the boiler. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
