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 to the right. If the
Hz signal is within +/- 5% of the numbers in
the chart below the reading is normal.

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.
