Vaporstat Setting & Boiler Operation

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?

-Dave

    see if all of the radiators still get hot and if so, that's all there is to it.
