BLOWER SPEED CONTROL BTH 199 AND 250
The input of the BTH 199 and BTH 250 is determined by blower. The input of the water heater may be
determined by clocking the meter as shown on Page 5 or by making sure the blower is receiving the proper
signal. The blower rpm is controlled by the Central Control Board (CCB). The rpm of the blower may be
measured by attaching a MULTIMETER that has a Hertz (Hz) setting as shown in the illustration below. If
the Hz signal is within +/-5% of the numbers in the chart below the reading is normal.
Model High Speed Hz Low Speed Hz
199 N 182 172
250 N 227 178
199 Propane (LP) 200 194
250 Propane (LP) 254 191
Note: Removing the plug shown in the illustration will cause the blower to accelerate and the input of the
water heater to increase to a much higher rate. This may cause damage to the water heater.
Meter black lead is connected to ground (not shown) and the red lead is connected to an open terminal on
blower speed control connection.
