- Remove the old switch and install the new Braemar SY651590 pressure switch in its place, ensuring it's securely mounted.
- Reconnect the sensing hoses correctly and firmly, then reattach the electrical terminals.
- Restore power, then initiate a heating cycle to confirm the new switch allows the burner to fire and operate without fault. Check for any error codes on the wall controller.
- Record the replacement details in the unit's service log.
Limitations & Safety Notes
- Only for use with compatible Braemar ducted gas heaters as specified by the 80Pa rating and part number.
- Installation and testing of gas appliances should only be performed by a licensed gas fitter in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.1.
- Always follow the heater manufacturer's installation and service instructions.
- Do not bypass or modify the pressure switch; it is a critical safety device.
Tradie Pro Tip: When replacing these, always inspect the silicone sensing hoses for cracks or blockages. A faulty hose can give you the same symptoms as a bad switch, and it's an easy check while you're in there.
