Excerpt: The Beckett GeniSysTM Advanced Burner Control is a 120 Vac primary safety control for residential and light commercial oil burners used in boiler, furnace, and water heater applications having firing rates less than 20 GPH.
The GeniSys is used with a suitable cad cell flame sensor to control the oil burner motor, igniter, and optional solenoid valve. It has 24 Vac thermostat terminals (if applicable) compatible with both mechanical and many power stealing thermostats. It can also provide interrupted or intermittent duty ignition.
Excerpt: The Beckett HeatManager is a patented microprocessor-controlled fuel-saving device for residential hot-water (boiler) heating systems.
The HeatManager reduces fuel consumption, wear on boiler parts and burner emissions by actively managing the burner, in conjunction with the aquastat, to properly match the boiler output to the required load.

This manual was assembled with the service person and technician in
mind. Our objective was to give procedures and guidelines for efficient
and successful fuel pump installation and service. Many technical
manuals contain the necessary information; finding it is the problem.
This manual is divided into four major sections:
Sales-- What models to use and how they are identified
Installation--How to install the model selected
Piping-- Good practice piping installations and how to cope with
non-recommended piping found in previous installations.
Service-- How to test and service new and existing installations.
We have addressed situations found in the field which are not good
practice, but since they have been in use, we must contend with them.
If you have problems which you cannot answer, please contact Suntec’s

- What to do about abnormally high hot water heating boiler pressure
Rhonda
What to do about abnormally high hot water heating boiler pressure
Watch out: excessive boiler pressure in a residential hot water heating system is dangerous, risking a BLEVE explosion (search InspectApedia.com for BLEVE for more details).
If your heating boiler pressure really is over 30 PSI and your relief valve is not opening, then the heating system is unsafe.
We need more information: you need to be more clear with me about what pressure or "psi" we're actually discussing.
Where are you reading "high psi" ?
If your boiler pressure were really over 30 psi, I don't think it would have been possible to replace a relief valve and an expansion tank without water pouring out at the connections for those devices. That would have relieved the pressure.
So if pressure was relieved in the hot water (hydronic) heating system boiler, piping, etc., and pressure is abnormally high again, either there is a water feed valve that is improperly adjusted or your gauge is simply stuck at an inaccurate pressure.
So, what is "High" and where and how are you determining that?
For details see
