Using It on the Job

1. Isolate Power: Always begin by switching off the main power to the gas heating unit at the circuit breaker or isolation switch. Confirm no power with a multimeter.
2. Access Switch: Carefully locate and access the existing fan limit switch, typically found near the heat exchanger or plenum.
3. Document & Disconnect: Take photos of the wiring connections and probe orientation. Disconnect the old switch's wiring and carefully slide out its probe.
4. Install New Switch: Slide the new 11-inch probe fully into its designated sleeve. Ensure it's seated correctly for accurate temperature sensing.
5. Reconnect Wiring: Reconnect all wiring according to your documentation, ensuring all terminals are secure and correctly matched.
6. Restore & Test: Restore power to the unit. Initiate a heating cycle and monitor the fan operation and observe if the unit cycles off correctly at its set points, confirming proper installation.

Limitations & Safety Notes

• Installation and service of gas appliances should only be performed by a qualified and licensed technician.
• This switch is specifically for Brivis gas heaters; verify compatibility and probe length (11 inches) before purchase.
• Always follow manufacturer's installation instructions and local gas fitting and electrical codes.
• Ensure proper lockout/tagout procedures are followed when working on electrical components.

Tradie Pro Tip: When replacing a fan limit switch, always check the probe's cleanliness and ensure it slides smoothly into its sleeve. A build-up of dust or corrosion can prevent accurate temperature readings, leading to nuisance trips or improper fan operation. Also, verify the air filter is clean and airflow is unrestricted after the repair.

Pair With

For comprehensive Brivis heating system maintenance, consider pairing this switch with other Brivis spare parts like Brivis control boards, Brivis ignitors & sensors, or Brivis gas valves. Always check the system's air filters too for optimal performance.
