Problem with water feeder

I’m trying to track down the instructions for this feeder system. Can’t find it in the website, seems like I have an older version of the current VXT-24 without a counter.

The actual problem I’m having is that the feeder seems to be adding water to the system without need and overfilling the boiler. The LWCO is the cycleguard and I saw a lot of recommendations to swap it to the Safeguard, but I don’t want to buy new equipment if I can avoid.

    The valve may need to be disassembled and cleaned. But the first thing is to have an electrical test meter and determine if the feeder or the low water cutoff is the issue.

    Is the feeder leaking by or is the LWCO telling it to feed when it shouldn't?

    @Gordo Silent Steam team has many videos on you tube covering these controls

    1996 control is 30 years old
