1 General Information
1-1 Introduction
Sterling/Sterlco Royal Series water temperature control units are
reliable, accurate, and easy-to-use process temperature control
units. They are self-contained, portable, and shipped ready to use.
The Royal Series water temperature control unit is designed to

circulate water through your process and to precisely,
automatically, and reliably maintain it at a specified temperature.
Standard unit operating range is from 0ºF (-17ºC) to 250°F
(121°C), or up to 300°F (149°C) as an option. The unit is suited for
use with city water, water from portable or central chillers or
towers, or well water.
These units are designed for rapid recirculation of a relatively

small amount of water to provide close and uniform temperature
relation between To Process and From Process lines. This
performance, of course, depends on the configuration of your
process and any restrictions within the mold. The recirculation,
combined with the large immersion heater and cooling capability,
gives fast and accurate response to bring the water up to
temperature or to changes in the settings when needed.
The 2010 Series water temperature control unit is a self-contained

system consisting of a centrifugal pump, electric immersion heater,
cool/vent solenoid valve, and electrical control, including a PID
microprocessor controller and thermocouple. It is designed for use
in process temperature control applications using water or a
water/glycol mix. Any other use or fluid is prohibited.
Some standard safety devices include a mechanical

overtemperature safety thermostat, a pressure relief valve, motor
overload protection, a low pressure cutout switch, branch fusing,
and non-fused lockable rotary disconnect.
A properly installed, operated, and maintained Royal Series system

provides years of reliable operation. Please read and follow the
instructions in this manual to get the most satisfaction from your
Royal Series system.

2 Shipping Information
2-1 Unpacking and Inspection
You should inspect your Sterling/Sterlco Royal Series temperature
control unit for possible shipping damage. If the container and
packing materials are in re-usable condition, save them for
reshipment if necessary.
Thoroughly check the equipment for any damage that might have
occurred in transit, such as broken or loose wiring and
components, loose hardware and mounting screws, etc. In case of
breakage, damage, shortage, or incorrect shipment, refer to the
following sections.
2-2 In the Event of Shipping Damages

Important!
According to the contract terms and conditions of the Carrier,
the responsibility of the Shipper ends at the time and place of shipment.
; Notify the transportation company’s local agent if you discover

damage.
; Hold the damaged goods and packing material for the
examining agent’s inspection. Do not return any goods to
Sterling before the transportation company inspection and
authorization.
; File a claim against the transportation company. Substantiate
the claim by referring to the agent’s report. A certified copy of
our invoice is available upon request. The original Bill of
Lading is attached to our original invoice. If the shipment was
prepaid, contact Sterling at (414) 354-0970 for a receipted
transportation bill.
; Advise Sterling regarding your request for assistance and
to obtain an RGA (return goods authorization) number.

2-3 If the Shipment is Not Complete
Check the packing list. The apparent shortage may be intentional.

any smaller items during unpacking. Determine that the item was
not inadvertently taken from the area before you checked in the
shipment. Notify Sterling immediately of the shortage.
2-4 If the Shipment is Not Correct

If the shipment is not what you ordered, contact Sterling
immediately. Include the order number and item. Hold the items
until you receive shipping instructions.
2-5 Returns
Important!
Do not return any damaged or incorrect items
until you receive shipping instructions from Sterling.

2-6 Uncrating Your New Royal Series System
; Royal Series water temperature control units are shipped
fastened to a skid and covered with a cardboard box.
; Carefully remove the staples on the bottom of the box, lift off
the box, and remove the bolts holding the unit to the skid.
Caution!
Be careful when cutting straps.
Straps may spring back and cause injury!
; From the side, slip two lifting straps between the skid and
temperature control unit. Spread the straps from the center line
so it is balanced.
; Loop the straps over a fork truck fork. Lift slowly and only
high enough to clear the skid. Use a pry bar if necessary to
remove the skid from the unit.
; Carefully slide the skid from beneath the unit and lower the
unit. Lower slowly. The unit should land on its casters and can
be rolled into position.
; Retain the crating in case reshipment is necessary due to
hidden shipping damage.

3 Installation
3-1 Installation Location Considerations

Royal Series systems are portable and can be installed almost
anywhere. As with all equipment installations, follow all
applicable codes and regulations.
; The recommended ambient temperature range for Royal Series

installations is from +14ºF (-10ºC) to a maximum operating
ambient temperature of 131°F (55ºC). Recommended ambient
storage temperature range is from -13ºF to 149ºF (-25ºC to
65ºC). If storing the unit below freezing temperatures, make
sure the unit has an antifreeze mixture circulated inside.
; Provide a minimum of twelve inches (12” or about 30 cm)
clearance on all sides of the cabinet to allow circulation of
cooling air.
; Locate the unit as close to the process as is practical.
3-2 Process Approach Temperature Considerations

If the differential (U) between COOLING WATER IN and TO
PROCESS temperatures is less than 10°F (7ºC), consult our Sales
Department for advice on how to control low approach
applications.
3-3 External Piping Sizing Considerations

; All external hose and piping should be adequately sized to
assure minimum external pressure drop.
; Low external piping pressure drop is needed for best operation.

Note: Use a backup wrench to support Royal Series system
piping when making process piping connections.
! CAUTION
All external valves, fittings, and hoses must be rated at a minimum of
150 psig and 250°F (1,034.25 kPa/10.34 bars and 121ºC).
The exception is when the temperature control unit
is optionally rated for 300ºF (149ºC) operation;
external valves fittings and hoses must then be rated at a minimum of
150 psig and 300ºF (1,034.25 kPa/10.34 bars and 121ºC).
3-4 Piping Considerations for Permanent

Installations
Sterling recommends an optional (or customer-installed) strainer
on the COOLING WATER IN inlet.
The unit must have at least 16 psig (110.32 kPa/1.1 bars) water
supply pressure to prevent pump cavitation that can be caused by
the water “flashing” to steam. To avoid damage to the pump or
other components, make sure that maximum supply pressure does
not exceed 55 psig (379.2 kPa/3.79 bars).
Keep restrictions to a minimum by using proper inlet pipe sizing. If

the water supply piping is larger than ¾”, reduce the size at the
unit. The table below contains the pipe sizes that are used in the
unit.
Pipe sizes for ¾ hp to 10 hp (0.56 kW to 7.46 kW) units

Location Size in inches NPT
To Process 1½”
From Process 1½”
Cooling Water In ¾”
Cooling Water Out - depends on solenoid used -
Common black pipe is recommended for permanent installations.

Royal Series water circuit piping is primarily ferrous (iron) and
reacts electro-chemically with non-ferrous metallic materials such
as copper. Some water contains dissolved minerals that greatly
accelerates the reaction between dissimilar metals.

Ferrous piping is recommended to minimize galvanic action. If
piping must be copper, use dielectric unions at the unit.
3-5 Piping Considerations for High Mobility

Installations
Mobile Royal Series systems must use high quality hose rated for
at least 150 psig and 250°F (1,034.25 kPa/10.34 bars and 121ºC).
Special 300°F (149ºC) high temperature Royal Series systems
must use hosing rated at 150 psig and 300°F (1,034.25 kPa/10.34
bars and 149ºC) or greater.
Quick disconnects may be used for mobility, although they cause

a drop in pressure. If used, they must be sized carefully to
minimize pressure drop. Don’t use quick disconnects with check
valves unless absolutely necessary.
! CAUTION
Non-relieving quick connect fittings or check valves on the water supply
must have a pressure relief piped to the drain.
Failure to do so could result in a dangerous over-pressure condition!
3-6 Process Water Considerations

Raw Water
Water treatment is vital in any piping system. In some cases, raw
water may be used in the system without problems; in other cases,
it can result in large deposits of scale and corrosion.
Sterling offers a complete line of water treatment equipment.

Contact your Sterling sales representative for water testing and
treatment options.
Distilled Water
Non-ferrous (brass, copper, or high-temperature plastic) piping is
recommended for distilled water processes.

Deionized Water
Stainless steel (316 SS minimum) or PVC plastic components must
be used with deionized water. Sterling recommends stainless steel
because of the temperature constraints with plastic.
3-7 Making Process Water Connections

Closed Circuit/Direct Injection
On the back of each unit, the connections are labeled appropriately.
For Direct Injection units connect the TO PROCESS hookup to the
entrance of the process and the FROM PROCESS hookup to
the exit of the process. Connect the COOLING WATER
IN to your plant water supply. Connect the COOLING WATER
OUT line to an open drain, or to the return line of
your central water system.
For Closed Circuit units make the connections as stated above, and
if there is a separate supply for the process and cooling make the
following connections. Connect the PROCESS WATER
SUPPLY hookup to the water source for the process. Connect the
PROCESS WATER VENT hookup to return the water back to
the process source.
Make sure you carefully select the connecting lines and

connectors between the temperature control unit and the
process to suit the needs and requirements of your application.
If your unit has a maximum operating temperature of 250ºF

(121ºC), the connecting lines and connectors should have a
service rating of at least 250ºF (121ºC) and 150 psig (1,034.25
kPa/10.34 bars). If it has a maximum temperature of 300ºF
(149ºC), the lines and connectors should have a service rating
of at least 300ºF (149ºC) and 150 psig (1,034.25 kPa/10.34
bars).
TO PROCESS — 1½” NPT

This is the outlet for the tempered water leading to the process
being controlled.

FROM PROCESS — 1½” NPT
Water from the process re-enters the Royal Series system to be
tempered and re-circulated back into the process.
3-8 Making Cooling Water Connections

WATER IN — ¾”
The cooling water supply inlet from a cooling tower, a chiller, or a
city water supply.
! CAUTION
If a non-relieving device such as a regulator, ball valve,
or check valve is installed on the WATER IN line,
you MUST install an expansion tank
of at least ½ gallon (about 2 liters) capacity.
Failure to do so can result in system overpressure from thermal expansion.
Install the tank configured as shown below:
Expansion
tank
Royal Series
unit
Non-relieving
device
Check the expansion tank frequently to make sure it is not flooded.

Water Out
Size Depends on Solenoid Used
The cooling water outlet leading back to the cooling tower, chiller,
or drain.
Net supply pressure must be between 25 psig and 55 psig (172.38

kPa/1.72 bars and 379.2 kPa/3.79 bars). Net supply below 15 psig
(103.43 kPa/1.03 bars) may allow water to flash to steam, cavitate
the impeller, and damage the pump, which prevents the unit from
cooling properly. Operation above 55 psig (379.2 kPa/3.79 bars)
may cause premature opening of the relief valve from pump
pressure and pressure surges.
PRESSURE RELIEF — ¾”
The pressure relief valve, located at the back of the unit, is pre-
piped to approximately four inches (4” or 10 cm) above the floor.
This piping reduces the chance of scalding nearby personnel if the
relief valve should trip.
3-9 Making System Purge Connections

Royal Series systems equipped with the System Purge option have
a compressed air inlet marked MOLD PURGE. Connect to a clean,
dry 100 psig (689.50 kPa/6.90 bars) air line. Install your own
shutoff valve to prevent process liquid from backing up into the
plant air piping if the compressed air is turned off and the check
valve fails. Don’t depend on the solenoid valve to hold water
pressure in the temperature control unit.

3-10 Making Electrical Connections
Royal Series systems are designed for three-phase voltage
operation. Refer to the unit nameplate for proper voltage and
amperage requirements.
Make sure you provide a correctly sized and protected supply of

electrical power to the unit.
Important!
Refer to National Electric Code (NEC) Article 430-24 through 430-26
for proper feeder conductor and supply disconnect sizing.
Maintain a safe ground and disconnect the power supply before

servicing the unit. A qualified electrician should make electrical
connections, and disconnect and lock out electricity using OSHA
29CFR 1910.147 standards when you need a service call.
Check serial tag voltage and amperage requirements and make sure
your electrical service conforms before making any electrical
connections. Total running amps for Royal Series systems are
listed on the nameplate. Customer connections can be run to the
supply terminals from either side of the unit. Make sure that all
three phases are wired correctly. If not wired properly, the unit will
run backwards. Again, check the unit nameplate for correct
voltage and amperage.
! DANGER
Improper electrical connections
can damage the unit and cause
serious operator injury or death!

Bring properly sized power leads and ground from a fused
disconnect (installed by your electrician) to the unit. Provide
external overcurrent protection to the unit, using circuit breakers or
fuses. If you use fuses, make sure that they are dual-element time-
delay fuses, sized according to your electrical code. Make sure that
all electrical connections are tight.
Important!
1. Electrical connections must comply with all applicable electrical codes.
2. The temperature control unit must be grounded in accordance with NEC
Article 250.
3. Voltage must be within plus or minus ten percent (±10%) of the nameplate
rating.
4. Make sure your installer provides external protection.

with your unit’s Customer Information Packet.

4 Identifying Controls and Features
4-1 Identifying Mechanical Controls and Features

To and From Process Probes
Two (2) 1,000-ohm (1 KΩ) platinum RTD probes are included
with your Royal temperature control unit. One is located
downstream from the heater to sense To Process temperature; the
other probe is located upstream from the pump to sense From
Process temperature.
Safety Thermostat
The safety thermostat mounted on the side of the heater tank
protects against thermal runaway. The thermostat guards against
the unlikely event of “runaway” heating. If overheating occurs, the
safety thermostat shuts down heater outputs. The unit continues to
pump water through the system to prevent heater damage. Sterling
recommends that you install an audible or visual alarm to the
terminals provided. Factory installed alarms are available; see the
electrical schematics in your Installation Packet for more
information.
Pressure Relief Valve

If the combined pressure of the cooling supply water and pump
discharge exceeds 150 psig (1,034.25 kPa/10.34 bars), the pressure
relief valve opens and relieves the pressure. This is a non-
adjustable ASME construction valve with a stainless steel spring.
Important!
Route a pipe from the pressure relief valve
to a suitable drain to reduce potential scalding hazard.
The drain line must not have any restrictions or back pressure.

Low Pressure Cutout Switch
This switch, set at 16 psig with a 2 psig differential (110.3 kPa/
1.10 bars with a 13.79 kPa/0.14 bars differential) shuts down the
unit if the COOLING WATER IN or MAKEUP water pressure
drops below 16 psig (110.3 kPa/1.10 bars).
Pumps
Pumps range in power from ¾ hp to 10 hp (0.56 kW to 7.46 kW)
and are equipped with 3-phase ODP motors and seal flush lines as
standard.
The pump is a bronze-fitted close-coupled centrifugal type. It

features a split case design to facilitate replacement of the seal. It
has a high output capacity with excellent discharge pressure
helping it facilitate turbulence to maximize heat transfer, and is
well suited for the conditions under which it was designed to
operate.
Heaters
The specially designed 9 kW three-phase low watt density
electrical immersion heater heats the water, and the controller
regulates the temperature. The standard heater has an incolloy
sheath for best heat transfer and low fouling properties.
Low watt density immersion heaters at 12 kW, 18, 24 kW, 36 kW,

and 48 kW are available options for these models, depending upon
the heating needs of the process. All models are built to provide
full or partial heat as required by the process and determined by the
controller, providing more precise temperature control.
Solenoid Valves
Royal Series systems use rugged, industrial design solenoids with
replaceable coils and/or internal components. Depending on
required cooling capacity, solenoid valves are available in sizes
ranging from 1/4” to 3/4”; 1/2” x 9/16” and 3/4” x 3/4” solenoid valves are
slow-closing.

Motorized Modulating Valves
Optional
Optional motorized modulating valves are recommended for large
cooling applications where the process temperature is very near the
cooling water supply temperature and the temperature controller
unit pump is used as a booster. The gradual shutoff they provide
also eliminates water hammer. The option includes a complete
valve and motor package in place of a long-life solenoid valve.
The motorized modulating valve has infinite positioning. It fully

opens in one (1) minute and fully closes in 15 seconds.
Water Hammer Arrestor (Shock Stop)

Optional
Shock waves from fast-operating solenoid valves may damage
some process systems. For these applications, a welded metal
bellows-type shock stop with a pre-charged and sealed nitrogen
blanket can be installed in the cooling piping.
Pump Starter
Royal Series high quality IEC-rated pump motor starters are
industrial grade motor controls with overload protection and
manual reset.
Transformer
High quality industrial design transformers are specified to suit
incoming voltage on the application and provide 115 VAC control
voltage. The 115 VAC circuit is protected by primary fusing and
secondary grounding.
Heater Contactor
Your Royal Series unit uses high-quality IEC-rated industrial-
grade electromechanical contactors for heater controls.

Cooling
The controller automatically regulates cooling by opening and
closing the solenoid valve or modulating valve. For direct
injection, the unit cools by removing the required amount of warm
water from the system. This process permits an equal amount of
cool plant water to enter the system well ahead of the pump,
allowing it to blend with the system water. The water supply
temperature governs the minimum operating temperature of the
unit.
For closed circuit operation, the unit cools by automatically

releasing cooling water through the tubes of the specially designed
tube bundle heat exchanger in each zone. The process fluid, such
as water, glycol, or other similar fluid, is circulated through the
shell of the heat exchanger.
Note: The plant water supply temperature governs the minimum

operating temperature of the unit.
Electricals
The pump motor and the immersion heater operate on three-phase
50/60 cycle nominal voltages with the control circuit operating at
115V single phase. The control circuit voltage is provided by a
single phase machine tool transformer with a grounded secondary.
The 115V control circuit and controller outputs are fuse protected.
The pump motor is controlled by a full voltage magnetic non-
reversing motor starter, with fused branch circuit overcurrent and
thermal overload protection.
Automatic Vent
This feature automatically triggers the purging of air from the
system before you start the unit. The vent actuates the solenoid
valve, and forces trapped air and water out through the drain,
properly filling and priming the unit prior to startup. Complete
venting is necessary to prevent damage to the pump and heater.
The vent process is controlled through a timer. If you have a large

process, you may need to complete the venting process by pressing
the VENT button on the front-mounted switch panel.

Pressure Switch
A pressure switch built into each unit keeps the system from
starting until the water supply is turned On and subjected to the
minimum water supply pressure. This feature protects the pump
seal and the heater from damage through attempted operation
without water. The pressure switch is set at approximately 16 psig
(110.32 kPa/1.10 bars) for 250°F (121ºC) units or 55 psig (379.23
kPa/3.79 bars) for 300°F (149ºC) units prior to leaving the factory.
4-2 The Microprocessor Controller

The M2B controller is an easy-to-operate microprocessor-based
PID control device. When the process reaches the set point, the
PID control cycles the cooling valve and/or immersion heater to
maintain the proper leaving water temperature.
The controller is fully factory tested. Set the process temperature

set point you want and the controller does the rest.
Built-in range of operation on the controller is 0°F to 250°F (-18ºC

to 121ºC).

4-7 Controller Factory Setup

The controller is set up and tested at the factory for optimum
operation, and doesn’t need to be adjusted. If the controller does
not work properly, or you suspect someone has accidentally
changed some settings, you can do two things. First, perform the
Auto-Tune Procedure described in the following section. If that
doesn’t work, restore the controller to the original factory settings
as described in your Sterling/Sterlco M2B Temperature Control
Owner’s Manual.

4-8 Auto-Tuning the M2B Controller
The Auto-Tune function lets you fine-tune the M2B controller to
process requirements. Activate the Auto-Tune function whenever
the process under control changes. The controller automatically
evaluates the process, and selects the P, I, D, and fuzzy logic
values. It’s best to do auto-tuning before you run any product.
For best results, start this procedure with a stabilized process

temperature, with no rapid rises or drops in temperature.

the controller. For pin outs, consult the Sterling/Sterlco M2B
Temperature Control Owner’s Manual.

5 Startup and Operation
5-1 Introduction
The checklist below outlines start-up procedures for Royal Series
water temperature control units. This list assumes that installation
information located in this manual has been read and followed.
5-2 Startup Checklist

; Check the shipping papers against the serial tag to make sure
that system size, type, and voltage is correct for the process
under control.
; Check the transformer primary voltage connections to be sure
they are configured for the electrical power you are using. The
voltage at the main power connection must be within plus or
minus ten percent (±10%) of the voltage listed on the serial tag.
Electrical connections must conform to all applicable codes.
Make sure that a qualified electrician checks all electrical
connections.
; The safety thermostat is preset at the factory to 250ºF or 300ºF
(121ºC or 149ºC), depending on configuration. It trips at 265ºF
or 315ºF (129ºC or 157ºC), depending on configuration.
; The relief valve should be piped to an open, unrestricted drain.
; TO PROCESS, FROM PROCESS, WATER IN, WATER OUT,
and MOLD PURGE connections should be complete.
! CAUTION
Only use components rated at a minimum of
150 psig and 250°F (1,034.25 kPa/10.34 bars and 121ºC).
; All outer panels must be in place.

; All external process valving should be set for proper operation
of the unit.
; Cooling and/or makeup water between 16 psig and 55 psig
(110.32 kPa/1.1 bars and 379.2 kPa/3.79 bars) must be
available for the unit to operate properly.

; Connect the main power to the unit disconnect switch, and
press the START switch to check for proper pump rotation
direction as described in Section 5-6 on Page 46. Pump rotation
should be clockwise, viewed from the motor end.
; Check your work and proceed to the Startup Procedure
section on the following page.
5-3 Starting the Temperature Control Unit

; Turn ON the water supply, turn the rotary disconnect to the ON
position, and push the START button.
; The unit automatically executes a one-minute venting sequence
to expel air trapped in the process piping. Sterling recommends
a longer venting sequence on larger process systems. Press and
hold the VENT button to force the cooling/vent valve open and
eliminate air trapped in the process piping in larger process
systems.
The controller is OFF and the Vent Cycle indicator is lighted
during the vent sequence.
; Set the microprocessor controller to the process temperature
SET POINT
you want by pressing and holding the SET POINT key,
UP DOWN
then pressing the UP Arrow key or the DOWN

Arrow key until the SET POINT screen displays the set point
; Allow your process to reach the set point temperature, then
auto-tune the controller. See Section 4-8 on Pages 40-41 for
more information.
; Watch the drain for any bubbles or erratic flow, which
indicates if the system has been properly vented. If the stream
is steady, the unit was properly vented and all air is out of the
system.
; Operate the unit, checking for anything unusual that could
indicate improper operation.
Note: You can stop the Royal Series temperature control unit at
any time by pressing the STOP button.

! CAUTION
1) Your Royal Series system operates with hot water under pressure. To reduce
the risk of scalding:
• Always wear work gloves and safety glasses when operating the unit.
• Never operate the unit with panels or shields removed.
• Pipe the relief valve to an open drain.
• Never install a fitting or hose that is rated less than 150 psig and 250°F
(1,034.25 kPa/10.34 bars and 121ºC).
2) To reduce the risk of electrical shock:

• All electrical installation and repairs should be done by a qualified
electrician.
• Ground the unit in accordance with electrical codes.
• Never attempt any repairs without first opening and locking out the main
disconnect.
• Never deactivate or neutralize any safety device.

To change the process temperature set point:
SET POINT
UP
UP Arrow key to increase the set point value of the

SET POINT
DOWN
DOWN Arrow key to decrease the set point value of

the temperature you want.
The set point automatically updates.

5-5 Sequence of Operation
The simplicity of design and the highly engineered controller make
this unit almost self-operating. The START, STOP, and VENT
buttons and the temperature controller buttons are all that is
required to operate this unit.
After you complete all connections, turn the water supply ON, then
turn control power ON. The unit automatically vents for a preset
time of one (1) minute. If you need additional vent time, press the
VENT button on the control panel.
As the water comes in the water supply line, the water must enter
the pump, up through the tank and out through the TO PROCESS
line, through the process, back through the FROM PROCESS line,
and through the solenoid line and out the drain line.
At this time, watching the drain for bubbles or erratic flow will
indicate whether or not the system has been properly vented. If a
steady stream flows from the drain line, it is certain that all the air
is out of the system. If you have the unit connected to a central
system, watch the pressure gauges for erratic pressure changes. If
the gauge is steady, all the air is out of the system.
; TCU systems provide temperature control on processes by

directly heating the process water and injecting cooling water
into the process water.
; When the unit is energized, the pump starts and a one minute
vent sequence opens the cooling/vent valve to remove any air
trapped in the process piping.
; If the cooling water supply pressure is insufficient, the low
cooling water pressure cutout switch (set at 16 psig, 10 psig
differential [110.32 kPa/1.10 bars, 68.95 kPa/0.69 bars
differential]) opens, the LOW WATER PRESSURE indicator
lights, and the unit does not operate until the pressure is 16 psig
(110.32 kPa/1.10 bars) or more. You need at least 16 psig
(110.32 kPa/1.10 bars) for the best cooling capacity and to
prevent water boiling in the process circuit at high
temperatures, particularly at the pump suction.
; After venting, the microprocessor controller monitors the TO
PROCESS RTD probe, cycling open the cooling/vent valve to
discharge warm water or energizing the immersion heater to
maintain the process set temperature.

5-6 Checking Motor Rotation Direction
Check for correct pump rotation direction by looking at the top of
the motor. Press the START button and the STOP button, and note
the direction that the motor turns. Rotation should be clockwise
when viewed from the motor end.
Note: Make sure that a qualified electrician performs the

following steps.
To change rotation direction:
1. Disconnect and lock out power at the fused disconnect.

2. Reverse any two incoming leads at the power terminal
blocks.
3. Do not switch leads at the motor or motor starters.
5-7 Shutting Down the Temperature Control Unit

Cool the unit down by selecting a set point of zero (0 ). Let the
unit stabilize at one temperature close to the incoming water
temperature, then press the STOP button. Now press the VENT
button to relieve any remaining pressure in the system.

- Notes -

6 Unit Maintenance
! CAUTION
Never attempt to service a unit until a qualified
electrician has opened and locked out the main
disconnect using OSHA 1910.147 standards.
The water supply should be turned off and internal
pressure should be relieved before you remove panels.
All electrical connections must be done by a qualified
electrician.
! WARNING
Disconnect all power to the unit, let the unit
cool down, and turn off the water prior to any
servicing.
Failure to do so can result in SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH!
6-1 Preventive Maintenance

Draining
Drain the unit thoroughly if you are taking it out of service for a
long period of time, or you expose it to freezing. Drain plugs are
provided at the base of the heater tank and at the base of the pump.

Periodic Checks
Every Six Months
Inspect all electrical connections for secure attachment and for safe
and secure ground connections. Inspect the power cable, especially
at the entrance point to the unit. This inspection should be made by
a qualified electrician. Check for leaks, especially under the pump,
as it may indicate a worn pump seal.
6-2 Corrective Maintenance

Pumps and Seals
Before leaving our factory, we test each unit extensively, then we
calibrate each unit. Afterwards, the unit is drained and blown out
with air to remove water from piping systems. If the unit is
allowed to stand idle for a long time before being installed in your
factory, the housing gasket at the pump can dry out and can
possibly leak when the unit is started. In most cases these gaskets
will soon swell and form a tight seal. In other cases, it may be
necessary for you to tighten the pump bolts to stop a leaking
condition.
Pump seal surfaces can separate slightly because of rough handling

or from vibration during transit. This could cause a leak at the
pump seal when the pump is started, but in most cases the surfaces
will mate again after the pump is allowed to run for a short period
of time. If they do not reseal, you may need to open the pump and
free the seal by hand. It is seldom necessary to install a
replacement seal in a new unit unless the seal has been damaged
because the unit was started without water.
Our pump seals have a long period of service life. Some

conditions, of course, can shorten seal life, including the presence
of grit, operation of the unit without water, sustained high water
temperature, or presence of certain chemicals in the water. Our
pump seal assembly has been developed to resist abrasive particles
that are present in many water systems. This is done by a special
flushing system that uses water exiting the pump to constantly
wash the seal area.

It is also fitted with high temperature flexible components for
maximum heat resistance. These same components remain flexible
even at low temperatures. Thus, the standard seal is a fine
combination of heat resistant and wear resistant components.
Unfortunately, even under normal use, the seal will eventually
wear and require replacement.
A small puddle underneath the unit is a sign of rotary seal wear,

and if investigation confirms the pump as the source, the seal
should be replaced as soon as practical. The water slinger is
intended to provide temporary protection against this, but a
continued and substantial leak will ruin the motor bearing and
cause further damage.
After the unit has been in service for a period of years where
abrasive conditions are present, you may find that the pump
bracket (the top half of the pump casting), can be eroded away in
the area around the seat of the rotary seal. This area should provide
a straight, smooth bearing surface for the cup seal. Should your
casting show signs of erosion in this area, the casting needs to be
replaced. The replacement cost of the casting is very modest
compared to the down time and maintenance cost for frequently
replacing the seal.
Under some conditions, the pump may not start. After turning off
the power supply, check the motor shaft to be certain it is free to
turn. By removing the drip cover on top of the motor, you’ll have
access to the end of the shaft. It has been slotted to make it easy to
turn with a screwdriver. If the shaft is free to turn, next check that
the motor overloads are set, check for blown fuses, and finally
check the power supply on each leg to the motor. A qualified
electrician should check the motor and its circuit.
Important!
If the pump motor wiring is disconnected for removal from the unit,
make sure that you check the actual rotation direction
when the motor is rewired to the unit.
A phase sensor does not always indicate proper rotation
if motor wire leads are reversed at installation.
Consult the elementary wiring diagram for more information.

Heaters
Heaters may need to be cleaned chemically or mechanically to
remove deposits and dirt that reduce heat transfer and cause hot
spots. Hot spots cause premature heater failure. Install a new
gasket when reassembling. Make sure a qualified electrician
disconnects and reconnects heater wires.
Solenoid Valves
; Clean annually, more often if using high mineral content water
or on high service level units.
; Sluggish operation, excessive leakage, and/or noise indicate
cleaning is necessary. Inspect the components for excessive
wear while the valve is disassembled.
; Rebuild kits are available from the Sterling Parts Department.
6-3 Restoring the Controller to Factory Setup

If the preset parameters on the controller have been tampered with
and it no longer properly controls temperature, you can restore the
controller to factory setup parameters. For more information on
controller restoration, consult the Sterling/Sterlco M2B
Temperature Control Owner’s Manual.
6-4 Electrical Connections

Make sure that a qualified electrician inspects all electrical
components and connections every six (6) months for secure
attachment and ground connections. Inspect all wiring for fraying
or damage, especially power lines where they enter the unit. All
wiring connections must be tight.

6-5 Safety Devices
Caution!
Make sure that only qualified electricians test safety devices!
Safety devices should be tested for function every six (6) months.
Perform the following procedures for testing:
Motor Overload
Disconnect main power. Open the electrical enclosure and rotate
the manual TEST button on the motor overload to the tripped
position. Close the enclosure and reconnect main power. Push the
START button. The unit should not start and the Pump Overload
indicator should illuminate.
Press the RESET button. The unit is now ready for operation.
Pressure Switch
With the unit running, program a set point of 30ºF (-1ºC). Allow
the process temperature to drop under 100ºF (38ºC). When the
process temperature reaches that point, turn off the water supply.
The pump should stop and the Low Water Pressure indicator
should illuminate. Turn the water supply on to reset the pressure
switch.
Adjusting the Pressure Switch

The pressure switch used in your Royal Series water temperature
control unit is factory set at 16 psig (110.3 kPa/1.1 bars). However,
if the process does not require the unit to operate at 250ºF (121ºC),
you can adjust the switch to meet your process needs.
Tools Required
• Small flat blade screwdriver
• #2 Phillips head screwdriver

! CAUTION
HAZARDOUS ELECTRICAL CURRENT PRESENT.
Maintain a safe ground and disconnect the power

supply before servicing the unit.
Make sure a qualified electrician makes electrical

connections; disonnect/lock out electricity using OSHA
20CFR 1910.147 standards when servicing the unit.
To adjust the pressure switch:
Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, carefully remove the

plug at the top of the switch.
Figure 9
Pressure Switch
Side View and Top View
Phillips head screw
Under the plug is a Phillips-head adjusting screw:
Turn the screw counterclockwise to reduce the pressure.

- or -
Turn the screw clockwise to increase the pressure.
A quarter turn (90º rotation) approximates 15 psi (103.4 kPa/
1.0 bars).
Replace the plug on the top of the switch.

If the plug gets damaged, the switch is still sealed internally.

Make sure that the high limit on the controller is set to the values
listed in the following table, based on the switch adjustment. This
prevents the pump from cavitating and damaging the seal, the
switch, and heater element(s).
psig kPa Max. temp. ºF Max. temp. ºC

5 psig 34.4 kPa 227ºF 108ºC
10 psig 68.9 kPa 240ºF 116ºC
15 psig 103.4 kPa 250ºF 121ºC
Safety Thermostat
Disconnect main power. Open the electrical enclosure and
disconnect the neutral lead on the safety thermostat from the
terminal strip. Protect the stripped lead to prevent short circuits.
Close the enclosure, reconnect main power, and push the START
button. The heater should not turn on and the Over Temperature
indicator should illuminate. Disconnect main power before
reconnecting the thermostat lead.
6-6 Cleaning and Storage

• Inspect the unit daily for leaks. Wipe down the unit
periodically to remove dirt and dust buildup, especially the
motor casing.
• Drain and flush the unit every six (6) months to remove
sediment buildup.
• Completely drain the unit and carefully blow out the piping
with pressurized air before placing the unit in storage.
