heater operation.

2. Air throughput too high.

2. Refer to “Operation”.

 

 

 

R. High limit tripping.

1. Unit is over fired.

1. Burner orifices may be too large, verify

 

 

and replace.

 

2. Air flow is low.

2. Check for proper voltage, ensure fan

 

 

blade is correct.

 

3. Defective switch.

3. Check operation of switch, did the switch

 

 

open when unit is running or is the switch

 

 

open during start-up.

 

4. Defective control board.

4. Check for 24v on line side of the high limit.

 

 

Constant voltage should be recorded if not
