DEVICE NAME FUNCTION
Core Charging High These limit switches run across the entire back of the heater and
Limit Switches monitor the temperature of the outside back panel and the
heater's brick core. If the normal operating temperature is
exceeded, this switch will interrupt power to the heating elements
and prevent heat from being stored in the brick core. The red
"SERVICE" light will illuminate to indicate this switch has shut
the power off to the heating elements. (This switch will auto-
matically reset when the temperature returns to a normal range.)
Red "SERVICE" Light Illuminates when the core charging high limit switch has
interrupted power to the heating elements. The heater will not
store heat in the brick core when this light is illuminated.
Illumination of the light may indicate there is not enough
clearance between the heater and some object; or, possibly, there
is an operational difficulty within the heater. If the clearance
requirements have been maintained and the light illuminates
repeatedly, notify a service technician. (Since this light works in
conjunction with the core charging high limit switch, it will
automatically turn off when this switch resets.)
Discharge Air High Monitor discharge air temperature and interrupt power to the
Limit Switches blower if the normal operating temperature is exceeded. This
limit switch helps protect against the heating of objects which
may obstruct the air discharge area.
Tip Over Switch Interrupts power to the heating elements and the blower to
prevent the heater from storing heat in or discharging heat from
the brick core if the heater is not in the upright position.
