INSTALLATION OF THE CHIMNEY PROBE:
The probe must be installed between the appliance
and the exhaust fan. If a damper is used in the
system, the probe should be installed between the
appliance and damper.
Locate the probe at least a distance three (3) vent
diameters away from any elbow, tee or damper. For
fireplace installations, the probe should be installed
close to the fan inlet as shown below.
To produce an accurate pressure reading, the probe
should be installed flush with the inner wall of the
chimney or stack. If double walled stack is used, the
probe should be flush with the inner most wall.
CONNECTION OF THE DRAFT SWITCH AND
STACK PROBE:
The Draft Switch must be installed indoors, in the ver-
tical position (pre-drilled knockouts face down). Mount
the control upright to a wall or other flat surface. Do
NOT lay the control down or mount horizontally.
A Draft Switch must be used with the
Control Board
as a system safety device. The Draft Switch monitors
the pressure inside the stack and signals the control
to shut down the appliance if insufficient draft exists.
A stack probe senses the pressure read by the Draft
Switch and is connected via silicone tubing.
The silicone tubing supplied with the Draft Switch
should be
connected to the NEGATIVE (-) port of the
Draft Switch. This is the bottom port on the switch.
The standard tube length is 6 feet. The distance can
be extended up to 25 feet by using 1/4” rigid plastic or
copper tubing as temperature allows (not supplied).
The image below is for reference only; the draft switch
must be installed in a vertical position.
