OPERATION:

The GSK-160A is a normally closed single-pole, single throw (SPST) thermally-activated switch that is intended to be wired in series with the burner control safety circuit of an 80+ efficiency-rated, fan-assisted, gas- fired appliance. When subjected to temperatures above approximately 160°F, the switch will open, interrupting the safety circuit, thereby preventing the burner from firing. When allowed to cool, the switch will automatically reset, allowing the burner to fire. Activation of the GSK switch may cause burner lockout on some appliances.

INSTALLATION ON DRAFT CONTROLS:

NOTE: GSK style switches are designed for mounting on draft control models 4” MG1 through 9” MG1. Larger size draft controls required the FTS series switches.

UNIT WITH MG1 DRAFT CONTROL SUPPLIED WITH GSK IN A KIT:

1. Mount the switch onto the threaded stud on the top front of the MG1, using the supplied 8-32 locking nut.

2.Swing the gate in and out to verify smooth operation through the range of operation.

UNIT WITH DRAFT CONTROL SUPPLIED SEPARATELY:

1.Mount the switch with the supplied #5-40 machine screw and nut on the top front of the MG1. (Note, the head of the screw is to be on the inside of the ring. (See Figure 2)

2.Swing the gate in and out to verify smooth operation through the range of operation.

INSTALLATION LOCATION:

For single-appliance venting applications, install the draft control with GSK-160A directly above the appliance as shown in Figure 3, unless otherwise instructed by the

appliance manufacturer. For co-venting applications with an atmospheric-burner-equipped appliance (such as a water heater), install the draft control with GSK-160A immediately below the tee or wye fitting, as shown by the dashed lines in the figure, to help prevent spillage at the water heater. A Field Controls BarohoodTM with one GSK-3 mounted (recommended) or two GSK-3 spill switches mounted on the draft hood (available in kit SSK-1), wired into the thermocouple circuit (use one TCA-1 for either method) is recommended for additional safety.

GSK-160A specifications

The Field Controls GSK-160A is a highly efficient and innovative device specifically designed to enhance air quality and maintain a clean environment in residential and commercial spaces. This advanced system combines several technologies and features that make it a robust solution for indoor air quality improvement.

One of the standout characteristics of the GSK-160A is its powerful filtration system. Equipped with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, it captures an impressive percentage of airborne particles, including dust, pollen, smoke, and pet dander. This feature makes it particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers and individuals with respiratory conditions, as it significantly reduces the presence of indoor allergens.

The GSK-160A also boasts an advanced UV-C light technology, which works in conjunction with the filtration system to neutralize harmful bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. By employing ultraviolet light, the device not only purifies the air but also helps to maintain cleaner surfaces within the treated space. This dual function of air and surface purification ensures a healthier environment for occupants.

Another notable feature of the GSK-160A is its user-friendly controls and smart technology integration. The device includes an intuitive interface that allows for easy adjustments and status monitoring. Moreover, the GSK-160A can be integrated into smart home systems, enabling users to remotely manage their air quality preferences through mobile applications. This connectivity enhances convenience and empowers users to maintain optimal air conditions effortlessly.

In terms of energy efficiency, the GSK-160A is designed to operate quietly and consumes minimal power. This characteristic not only reduces the overall energy expenses but also contributes to a more sustainable environment, reflecting the growing need for eco-friendly solutions in today's market.

The construction of the GSK-160A emphasizes durability and reliability. Made with high-quality materials, it is built to withstand continuous operation, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. This reliability is a crucial factor for both residential and commercial applications, where equipment must perform effectively over extended periods.

In summary, the Field Controls GSK-160A is a cutting-edge air quality management system offering advanced filtration, UV-C purification, smart technology integration, energy efficiency, and durable design. These features make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve indoor air quality and create a healthier living or working environment.
