b

Connect the leads of the thermal switch in series with the coil of the heater power supply. In
the event of overtemperature, the thermal switch will open and shut off the power to the pump.

c

The thermal switch may be reset by pressing the button located at the center of the thermal
switch. This should be done only after the root cause of a problem has been determined and
the appropriate corrective action taken.
