TROUBLE SHOOTING (TK-HC, TK-C)

Trouble shooting Therma-Fuser diffusers requires looking at 

the system as a whole. Before examining the Therma-Fuser 

diffuser for failure it is worth the time to be sure the system 

is functioning properly and that something has not been 

overlooked. Before calling Acutherm, please complete the 

data log for all Therma-Fuser diffusers to be evaluated.

SYSTEM CHECK LIST

The system should be:
1. Delivering 50°- 68°F/10° - 20°C supply air when in the

cooling mode.

2. Delivering 80°-120°F/26.5° – 49°C supply air when in

the heating mode.

3. Maintaining static pressure at the inlet to each Therma-

Fuser diffuser between .05” and .25”wg/12 Pa and 62 Pa.

4. Maintaining continuous fan operation during occupied

hours.

THERMA-FUSER DIFFUSER CHECK LIST

Once the above checks have been completed, examine 

and record the following (temperature may vary over time; 

several measurements at different times may be required):
1. Room temperature 4 feet above the floor directly under

the Therma-Fuser diffuser.

2. Supply air temperature at the Therma-Fuser diffuser.
3. Static pressure at the inlet of the Therma-Fuser diffuser.
