Tjernlund 950-2064 L-185 Safety Interlock Kit 8504020 Rev 3 09/96 - Manual

L-185 SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM (P/N 950-2064)
(For Millivolt and 24 Volt Control Systems only)
This Safety Interlock System may be used on conventional chimney or Power Vented appliances
equipped with a draft hood, draft diverter or draft control.
PURPOSE
To provide a means for appliance shut-down in the event of flue blockage or down drafts.
OPERATION
The Linear Limit Spillage Sensor circuit is “normally closed” and will not affect normal appliance opera-
tion. When concentrated spillage of combustion gases occurs from the draft hood, diverter or barometric
control, the Linear Limit Spillage Sensor circuit will open preventing burner operation.

NOTE:
DO NOT CUT THE COPPER CAPILLARY SENSING TUBE!! TO DO SO
WOULD DESTROY IT AND DISABLE THE APPLIANCE.
