Principles of Operation
Service Manual 6-7
Thermostat
The thermostat is located in the hose duct adapter near the base of the hose
(see Figure 11-9 on page 11-10). It is connected to the power PCBA. The ther-
mostat provides thermal cut-out protection by opening at 49°C to 55°C (120°F
to 131°F), resulting in heater and fan shutdown.
Thermistor
The thermistor is located in the hose duct adapter just below the screen at the
base of the hose (see Figure 11-2 on page 11-4 and Figure 11-6 on
page 11-7). It is connected to the power PCBA.
During operation, the temperature measured by the thermistor is monitored
by the A/D processor and relayed to the UI microprocessor for display on the
LCD. If the temperature does not remain within specification, the software
shuts down the heater and fan and generates an alarm.
