INFINITE SWITCH (Current Sensing)

This unit is equipped with controls that provide an infinite choice of settings from LOW to HIGH. The control can be set on any of the numbered settings. To operate, push in and turn control knob to the desired setting.

Note: The infinite switch is a current sensing switch.

The infinite switch is a rotary switch, which controls the power dissipated by a heating element. A heater-bimetal opens and closes the cycling contacts, which applies and

removes voltage from the heating element. Control is attained by regulating the ratio of the time between the opening and closing of the contacts. This is usually referred to as input percentage and is controlled by a cam, which can provide virtually any infinitely adjustable performance. This performance is assured when the switch is subjected to elevated ambient temperatures through automatic temperature compensation.

The infinite switch stems are color coded for identification. The silver colored stem controls the left front and right rear element, the silver colored stem with a red dot controls the left rear, and the brass colored stem controls the right front element. Amperage is rated at 3-15.5A range +/- 10%.

Note: When replacing the infinite switch, the switch must be matched to the element.
