Usage
Designed for Harman and Heatilator pellet boiler lines, this switch fits models such as Absolute 43, Accentra 52I, HydroFlex 60, BA100, BH105, and more. It is ideal for residential heating, small‑business installations, and larger industrial setups where continuous operation demands safety redundancy. The sensor activates when exhaust pressure reaches a preset threshold, cutting power to the auger feed motor to prevent fuel overflow and firebox damage. Technicians appreciate its plug‑and‑play wiring and clear pressure‑set points.
