VACUUM AIR PRESSURE (FAN)

 

SWITCH

 

The air pressure switch, (see Figure 21), is a safety

 

device used to insure that the combustion air blower

 

(fan) is operating and has been designed to monitor

 

the vacuum (negative) pressure within the blower

 

housing. The air pressures switch is factory set and is

 

connected upstream of the ignition module. The

 

ignition module does not operate unless the air

 

pressure switch and all safety switches are closed.

 

 

AIR PRESSURE SWITCH

WATER PRESSURE SWITCH

Air Pressure Switch

 

The water pressure switch, (see Figure 22), closes when there is a sufficient flow of water to the heat exchanger to safely operate the heater. The switch has been preset by the Factory at 1 PSIG for operation. NOTE: See, Below Pool Level Installation instructions on page 7. The switch may remain closed with no water flow if there is more than a 3 ft. elevation difference between the heater (heat exchanger) and the pool water line—if this is the case, the water pressure switch must be reset by a qualified service technician to maintain open switch contacts with no water flow.

NOTE

If the pool is more than one floor above or one floor below the heater, the water pressure switch may have to be replaced with a flow switch.

THERMAL FUSE

This is a single-use switch, mounted on combustion chamber jacket divider (inner front panel). The fuse, (see Figure 23), is activated by excessive temperature due to abnormal operating conditions. Upon detection of excessive heat within the inner front panel, the fuse will open the safety circuit causing shutdown of the heater.
