Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100208392 Switch
As an HVAC technician, you know that precise pressure monitoring is non-negotiable for high-efficiency combustion. The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100208392 Switch is a critical safety component designed to verify proper drafting and inducer performance. This OEM pressure switch features a highly sensitive 1/20" wc (0.05 inches water column) set point, making it essential for detecting even minor pressure fluctuations that could lead to incomplete combustion or flue gas spillage. Built with OpenLow logic, the contacts remain open to prevent the ignition sequence if the required static pressure isn't met. The unit is equipped with a standard 1/4" NPT connection for a secure, leak-free fit into the manifold or sensing line and includes a Manual Reset (M/R) feature. This manual reset ensures that if a trip occurs due to a venting blockage or blower failure, a technician must physically inspect the system before operation resumes, providing an extra layer of protection for commercial water heaters and boilers.
Key Benefits:
- Critical Safety Logic: Features an OpenLow configuration that halts the ignition cycle if air pressure falls below the 1/20" wc threshold.
- Robust Construction: Engineered to withstand the high-temperature environments typical of Lochinvar Knight and A.O. Smith Cyclone series appliances.
- Precision Detection: Reacts to a low set point of 0.05" water column, ensuring the inducer fan is pulling sufficient vacuum for safe venting.
- Standardized Fitting: The 1/4" NPT threaded port allows for straightforward replacement and compatibility with existing sensing tubes.
- Manual Reset Security: Prevents automatic cycling after a fault, requiring a professional HVAC technician to clear the error and ensure system integrity.
Common Questions:
How do I troubleshoot a 'Gas Pressure SW Open' error?
First, verify your supply gas pressure with a calibrated manometer. If the pressure is within the manufacturer's spec (typically 4-14" wc for Natural Gas), check the sensing lines for cracks or moisture. If the 100208392 switch remains open despite adequate pressure, the internal diaphragm may be compromised, necessitating a genuine replacement part.
Can I use an automatic reset switch in place of this manual reset model?
No. Safety protocols for Lochinvar & A.O. Smith commercial units often require a manual reset pressure switch to ensure that a venting or pressure failure is diagnosed by a contractor rather than allowing the unit to attempt repeated ignitions under unsafe conditions.
What does the 1/20" wc rating signify for this switch?
This indicates that the switch is calibrated to trigger at a very low pressure of 0.05 inches of water column. It is a high-precision instrument used to monitor the precise delta-p required for the appliance's specific burner configuration.
