- Restore power to the unit and test the ducted heater's operation, monitoring for proper function and safe temperature cut-out if an issue occurs.
Limitations & Safety Notes
- This switch is specifically rated for 110°C (230°F) and should only be used in applications where this temperature cut-out is specified.
- Incorrect installation or bypassing safety devices can lead to system damage, fire, or personal injury.
- Always ensure power is completely isolated and verified before working on any electrical components of a ducted heater.
- Follow manufacturer's installation instructions and all relevant Australian safety standards and codes.
Before you swap this out, always confirm the correct temperature rating for your specific Brivis model. Too low, and you'll get nuisance trips; too high, and you're risking damage to the heat exchanger. This 110C yellow dot is specific, so double-check your existing unit's marking.
