This wiring diagram illustrates the Argo AR61 triple switching aquastat equipped to connect with three thermostats.
Unlike the remaining wiring diagrams in this article series, the AR61 is a controller, not a thermostat.
In our page top photo you can see the three thermostat terminal connection pairs.
This controller can control multiple circulator relays and is also used with tankless coil boilers and cold-start boilers - options reflected in the wiring diagrams, below left.
