Empire Industries R1610 Limit Switch Eco

Product Description

The EMPIRE INDUSTRIES R1610 is a limit switch ECO designed for use in heating appliance control systems. A limit switch monitors operating temperatures and interrupts the control circuit when a preset threshold is reached, protecting the heat exchanger and downstream components from thermal damage. The R1610 carries an RH-50 designation at a 65-degree F setpoint, indicating its calibrated trip temperature for safe system operation. Licensed HVAC technicians and heating equipment service professionals install and replace this component during routine maintenance or after a safety lockout event.

This limit switch is suited for residential heating applications where temperature-based safety control is required. It is typically found in gas-fired or electric heating appliances where the ECO (energy cutoff) function prevents overheating under abnormal operating conditions such as restricted airflow or component failure. The R1610 is a direct replacement component intended for use in systems requiring a calibrated thermal cutout at the specified setpoint.

Key Features

• ECO-rated limit switch designed to interrupt the control circuit at a calibrated thermal threshold
• RH-50 designation with a 65-degree F reference setpoint for precise temperature-based safety control
• Provides thermal protection for heat exchangers and system components during abnormal operating conditions
• Suitable for residential heating appliance applications requiring temperature-based cutoff protection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement limit switch ECO for residential heating appliances requiring a thermal cutout at the specified setpoint. Verify setpoint and terminal configuration against the existing unit before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician familiar with heating appliance controls and applicable codes including the IFGC. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the appliance before removing or installing the limit switch. Confirm the replacement setpoint and mounting configuration match the original component before completing the installation. Do not bypass or jumper the limit switch at any time during service.
