Weil-McLain 381-356-586 Outdoor Temperature Sensor Kit
An outdoor air temperature sensor kit used with compatible Weil-McLain boiler controls to enable outdoor reset, which adjusts the boiler's target water temperature based on outdoor temperature to improve operating efficiency.
Key Features:
- Outdoor temperature sensor kit for outdoor reset control (outdoor-air-based target water temperature adjustment).
- Kit includes: temperature sensor, wire harness, and instructions.
- Designed to connect to the boiler ignition control module (per Weil-McLain bulletin).
- This item is an accessory that replaces 510-312-218.
Compatibility & Applications:
- Gas boiler models listed by Weil-McLain bulletin: GV90+ (Series 2), CGa (Series 2), CGi (Series 3), and EG (Series 5, water only).
- An "Outdoor Reset Kit" (part #381-356-586) as additional equipment for CGi boilers.
- Must only be used where the manufacturer specifies this exact part number: 381-356-586.
Installation & Operation Notes:
- Installation should be performed by a qualified boiler/HVAC service professional.
- Outdoor reset operation: the control strategy lowers the boiler target water temperature when outdoor air temperature is above design conditions, improving efficiency by allowing operation at cooler temperatures when used properly.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting:
- If the displayed outdoor temperature is inaccurate or causes improper operating behavior (for example, the unit entering "summer mode" unexpectedly), confirm sensor placement and wiring before replacement.
- One sensor should not be shared across two boilers; one kit is needed per boiler/control, and sharing can lead to control/transformer issues.
Certifications & Compliance:- The kit meets the "automatic, inferred-heat load control operation" referenced under Department of Energy Part 430 energy conservation program requirements
