Trouble
not enough heat
Too much heat
➀ Automatic reset high limit
The unit heater comes standard with an automatic reset high
limit switch that will shut-off the gas should the discharge air
temperature become excessive. See Figure 15.1, indicator
for the location of either the standard automatic high limit switch.
The switch should operate only when something is seriously
wrong with the unit operation. Anytime the switch operates,
correct the difficulty immediately or serious damage may result.
If the switch cuts off the gas supply during normal operation, refer
to the "Not Enough Heat" section of Service & Troubleshooting.
