Field Controls 46089800 Air Switch
The Field Controls 46089800, also known as the DIP-1 Fan Proving Switch Kit, is a critical safety component designed to verify proper airflow before allowing combustion. Built for draft inducer systems, this negative pressure switch ensures that the venter motor is functioning and the flue is clear of obstructions. It serves as an essential interlock in the furnace control circuit, preventing the gas valve or oil burner from energizing if safe venting conditions are not met. This kit is a versatile HVAC replacement part compatible with both 24V and 120V pilot circuits, making it a standard choice for technicians servicing power venting installations. The remote-mounted design allows for maximum sensitivity and protection from heat, ensuring reliable performance in demanding mechanical rooms.
Key Benefits:- Broad Compatibility: Engineered to integrate with various draft inducer fans and power venter models.
- Complete Installation Kit: Includes a remote pressure switch, 5-foot aluminum tubing, sensing fitting, and compression hardware.
- Dual Voltage Range: Capable of proving draft in both low-voltage (24 VAC) and high-voltage (120 VAC) systems.
- Safety Interlock: Effectively prevents the operation of the heating appliance if negative pressure is lost.
- Optimized Sensitivity: Vertical mounting design maintains precise calibration for accurate air proving.
How do I troubleshoot a DIP-1 switch that won't close?
First, confirm the draft inducer is reaching full speed and the vent is clear. Check the aluminum tubing for kinks or moisture and ensure the sensing fitting is clean. Use a manometer to verify the negative pressure meets the switch’s set point.
Can the 46089800 be mounted in any orientation?
No. To maintain maximum sensitivity and ensure the internal diaphragm operates correctly, the switch must be mounted on a vertical surface away from direct heat sources.
What is included in the DIP-1 kit for field installation?
The kit provides the pressure switch, 5 feet of aluminum tubing, a pressure sensing fitting, and all necessary nuts and compression sleeves for a standard HVAC hookup.
