Using It on the Job

1. Safety First: Before starting any work on a gas appliance, ensure the power is isolated at the main switchboard and the gas supply is shut off. Tag out circuits as required.

2. Access the Heater: Carefully open the heater unit to access the existing control board. Document wiring connections with photos before disconnecting.

3. Replace the Board: Disconnect all wiring from the old MCB, remove it, and install the new Braemar SY640365 board. Ensure all connections are secure and correctly re-attached.

4. Test Operation: Restore gas and power, then cycle the heater through its functions. Check for proper ignition, flame sensing, and modulation through several heating cycles.

5. Commissioning: Confirm all safety devices operate correctly and that the heater is functioning to manufacturer specifications. Complete any required gas appliance service records.

Limitations & Safety Notes

• Installation and servicing of gas appliances must be performed by a licensed gas fitter in accordance with Australian standards.
• Ensure the power and gas supply are completely isolated before attempting any work on the appliance.
• This board is specifically for Natural Gas (NG) systems. Do not use with LPG unless the heater is specifically converted and approved for it.
• Only compatible with Braemar THM5 ducted gas heater models.

Tradie Pro Tip

Before condemning the old board, always double-check all associated sensors, ignitors, and wiring for corrosion or loose connections. Sometimes it's a cheaper fix than a full board swap, but if the fault points to the MCB, a genuine replacement is the way to go.

Pair With

Pair with a new ignitor or flame sensor if those components are also due for replacement, and ensure you have a reliable digital manometer for checking gas pressures.
