The Amerec 3119-518 Hi Limit Switch, 140C, is a critical safety component designed for various Amerec sauna and steam bath units. Its primary function is to prevent overheating by automatically shutting off the heating element if the temperature exceeds a safe, predetermined limit.
- Function: This is a normally closed (NC) safety switch that opens (breaks the circuit) when the ambient temperature around the switch reaches or exceeds its set high limit.
- Temperature Rating: It is set to trip at 140 degrees Celsius (140°C). This is a critical safety threshold.
- Reset Type: Typically, hi-limit switches like this one require a manual reset once they have tripped and the temperature has dropped to a safe level. This ensures that the user investigates the cause of the overheating before the unit can be restarted.
- Compatibility: Used in a range of Amerec equipment, including certain AK steam generator models and potentially some sauna heaters, to monitor for unsafe temperature conditions. It's essential to confirm compatibility with your specific Amerec model.
- Safety Device: Acts as a crucial fail-safe to protect both the equipment from damage due to excessive heat and, more importantly, bathers from dangerously high temperatures.
- OEM Part: As a genuine Amerec OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, it ensures proper fit, reliable operation, and adherence to the manufacturer's original safety and performance standards.
- Installation: It's usually mounted in a location where it can accurately sense the ambient temperature within the unit, often near the heating elements or a heat-prone area.
- Replacing a faulty hi-limit switch is vital for maintaining the safety and operational integrity of your Amerec sauna or steam bath system.
