ATTENTION
■ This heater is equipped with a manual reset high limit
switch. Its purpose is to disconnect the electrical
supply to the ignition control board in the event of an
overheat condition.
■ An overheat condition is normally caused by:
-- Excessive fuel gas pressure
-- Heater not being routinely cleaned
-- Heater not properly hung. (Control end is 1º to 5º
down from horizontal. See page 8.
The high limit switch should be tested a minimum of once
per year or anytime the heater is taken down for servicing.
Refer to the following testing instructions.
1. Disconnect the heater from its electrical supply.
2. Remove the high limit switch from the control box.
3. Holding the switch by one of its mounting legs, apply
a small flame only to the sensing portion on the back
of the switch. Be ccareful nnot tto m melt tthe pplastic
housing oof tthe sswitch w when cconducting tthis ttest.
4. Within a minute, you should hear a “pop” coming
from the switch, which indicates the contacts of the
switch have opened.
5. Allow the switch cool down before firmly pressing the
reset button on the switch.
6. Check for electrical continuity across the switch
terminals to make sure the contacts have closed.
7. Reinstall the switch back into the heater. Reconnect
the heater to its electrical supply. Start the heater
and check for proper operation.
