Item #1040388R (2000 Series Output Temperature Sensor Circuit Board)
WARNING
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE: Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death. Heater may be connected to more than one branch circuit. Disconnect power to all circuits before servicing.
De-energize and Open Heater
De-energize the heater and remove the front panel. Place the main control circuit board in the service position by sliding it off its mounting screws and hooking it on these same screws using the eyelets provided on the front of the circuit board mounting plate.
Check Damper Assembly
Check the clearance between the damper actuator and the lever extending from the damper assembly. The damper actuator should be on top of the lever. With the resistors cool, there should be a 1/8” – 1/4” gap between the damper actuator and the lever. Calibrate, if necessary, by bending the actuator near its mounting point. (Figure 1)
Inspect and Clean Blower
Inspect the blower and clean if necessary. It is recommended to clean the blower when the heater is cool to the touch.
Verify Damper Operation
Check damper operation to ensure optimum performance of the heater. Check damper operation by manually pressing the damper lever down and then slowly raising it. If the damper is not free, remove the blower and clean any debris from the damper area.
Verify Damper Resistor Spacing
Verify damper resistor spacing as shown in Figure 2.
Verify Blower Operation
Energize the heater. Check blower operation as follows:
- Adjust the room temperature set point below the actual room temperature. The blower should not be running.
- Set the room temperature set point one degree above actual room temperature. The blower should now start in low speed.
- Adjust the room temperature set point up until the blower runs in high speed.
NOTE: Repeat Steps A and B. A blower that struggles to start in low speed can cause the discharge air temperature to get too hot, causing the output sensor to open.
Verify Blower Resistor Value
Verify that the ohm value on the blower resistor is correct for the application. Reference the Blower Resistor Ohm Value Table for more information.

NOTES: Refer to the Unit Identification Label on the left side of the heater to determine heater voltage.
A 500 Ohm 50 Watt resistor can be used as a replacement in the 240V Model 2005 and 2006. It will slightly reduce low fan speed on these systems.
Caution
Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death. Use care when measuring voltage on system components. Failure to use caution can result in equipment damage and/or personal injury or death.
Verify Voltage on Damper Control Board
Verify that input voltage exists between “F” and “B” quick disconnect terminals on the damper control circuit board when a heat call is present.
Verify the Ohm Value Across the Orange Wires
De-energize the heater. Disconnect the orange wires from the damper control circuit board. Check the ohm value across the orange wires. On 240V heaters the ohm value should be 800 ohms; on 120V heaters it should be 200 ohms; and on 208V heaters it should be 600 ohms. If the ohm value is incorrect, replace the damper actuator.
Verify Voltage Across the Orange Wires
Reconnect the orange wires to the damper control circuit board. Re-energize the heater. Initiate a heat call by adjusting room temperature set point up. The damper assembly should operate in the 1000 series and the blower should run in the 2000 series. Check voltage between the orange wires. This reading should be between 50 VAC and 145 VAC for 240V heaters; between 25 VAC and 75 VAC for 120V heaters; and between 40 VAC and 125 VAC for 208V heaters.
Verify Voltage with NO Heat Call
Adjust the room temperature setpoint below actual room temperature to end the heat call. Check voltage across the “F” and “B” terminals on the damper board. With NO Heat call, the voltage should be zero (0). If voltage exists, verify internal system wiring (specifically, that there are no wires connected to the lower left relay on the main processor control board).
Verify Voltage Across the Orange Wires with YEL Wire Disconnected
Disconnect the yellow wire from the damper control circuit board. Check voltage between the two orange wires once again. With a heat call, the voltage should read less than five (5) volts.
Reconnect the YEL Wire
De-energize the heater. Reconnect the yellow wire to the damper control circuit board. If the tests done in Steps 9 or 10 are incorrect, the damper control circuit board should be replaced.
Close and Restore Power to the Heater.
Return the main circuit board to its original position and install the heater’s front panel. Restore power to the heater.
