Braemar Conversion Kit: SPI to BSC for TA, TE, TX Models

This Braemar Conversion Kit (SY636924) is designed to upgrade older Braemar ducted gas heaters from an SPI (Standard Pilot Ignition) setup to a BSC (Braemar Spectrolink Controller) system. It's an essential kit for service techs and competent DIY owners working on legacy Braemar units, bringing modern control and reliability to your existing heating system.

Working on older ducted heaters in an Australian summer can be a grind, so having the right parts to get the job done efficiently, without having to source multiple components, makes a big difference on site.

Best For

• HVAC technicians performing ducted gas heater service and upgrades.
• Gas fitters upgrading older Braemar heating systems.
• Competent homeowners maintaining their own Braemar ducted heaters.

Compatibility

This conversion kit is specifically designed for Braemar ducted gas heaters, suiting TA, TE, and TX models. It enables the conversion from an SPI control system to the more modern BSC (Braemar Spectrolink Controller) setup. If you're running a different model, check fittings and specs before ordering.

Features

• Direct conversion from Braemar SPI (Standard Pilot Ignition) to BSC (Braemar Spectrolink Controller) systems.
• Includes the Spectrolink Controller (part number 077390) for integrated system control.
• Designed to fit Braemar TA, TE, and TX model ducted gas heaters.
• Genuine Braemar component (Seeley PN: 636924) ensures compatibility and reliability.

What's in the Box

• Braemar SPI to BSC Conversion Kit.
• Braemar Spectrolink Controller (077390).

Using It on the Job

1. Isolate Power & Gas: Always ensure the main power supply to the heater is isolated and locked out, and the gas supply is shut off at the meter before commencing any work.
2. Access Control Panel: Carefully remove the access panels on the ducted heater to expose the existing control board and wiring.
3. Document & Disconnect: Take clear photos of the existing wiring connections. Label all wires before disconnecting the old SPI components.
4. Install New Components: Mount the new BSC control board and Spectrolink Controller according to Braemar's installation instructions. Connect wiring as per the new system's diagram.
5. Restore & Test: Once all connections are secure, restore power and gas supply. Perform thorough operational checks, including pilot ignition, fan operation, and safety cut-outs, to ensure correct function.

Limitations & Safety Notes

• Installation requires working with mains electricity and gas lines; ensure you are licensed and competent for this type of work.
• Gas work in Australia requires a current gas fitting licence and adherence to AS/NZS 5601.
• Always follow the manufacturer's specific installation guidelines for the Braemar conversion kit.
• Ensure the kit is compatible with your specific Braemar TA, TE, or TX model before beginning the upgrade.

Tradie Pro Tip: Before you even order, double-check the model number and serial plate on the existing Braemar unit. Take a picture of the current control board wiring too. This saves a headache and ensures you get the right kit for a smooth changeover.

Pair With

Consider pairing this conversion kit with other Braemar spares like flame sensors or pressure switches, and essential test equipment such as a digital manometer for gas pressure checks, or a multimeter for electrical diagnostics.
