Vaporstat Setting & Boiler Operation

Member Posts: 190
Folks,
In my vapor system, I will be substituting a L408A1132
vaporstat for the stock pressuretrol.
It was recommended that I start with the following vaporstat settings: Cut in at 4 oz, Differential at 6 oz.
Given that this is a subtractive type device, is the following operating profile correct:
Upon call for heat, the boiler steams to a maximum of 10 oz pressure, at which time, the boiler shuts off. When the steam pressure drops to 4 oz, the burner refires. All this is assuming that the thermostat is continuously calling for heat.
Correct?
