Description
The Lennox 100847-10 Limit Control is a critical component designed to ensure safe and efficient operation in heating systems. This control is specifically configured to activate when the temperature in the system reaches 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Featuring a Single-Pole Single-Throw (SPST) switch and an open switch face, this limit control is an essential safety device in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) applications.
One of the primary functions of the Lennox 100847-10 Limit Control is to prevent overheating in heating systems. When the temperature exceeds the set limit of 185 degrees Fahrenheit, the control activates and interrupts the heating cycle. This action helps protect the system from potential damage caused by excessive heat and ensures the safety of the equipment and occupants.
The SPST configuration signifies that this limit control is a single-circuit control with a single switch. It typically functions as a safety device to open or close the circuit, depending on the temperature conditions. The open switch face provides a visible indication of the control's status, allowing for quick identification of whether it has been activated due to temperature exceeding the limit.
Installation and calibration of the Lennox 100847-10 Limit Control should be carried out by qualified HVAC professionals. Proper installation is crucial to ensure that the control operates accurately and reliably, providing the necessary protection against overheating in heating systems.
