    Default Modulating Auto Draw-off

    Good Morning, I am just finishing up my modulating auto drawoff using a 4-20ma PID controller and a belimo actuator. Any interest in a parts list and wiring diagram? It can be built for $350-400.

    Sirhart1- I'll draw it up on Autocad and repost it when I get a chance. At the end of the season I can do a more detailed write up with pictures also. Any chance you snap some pictures of your steamaway inside and out. I think thats going to be our next years project. Thanks
