Description
The AAON R51280 is a genuine OEM 3″ high-limit switch designed specifically for use in AAON commercial HVAC equipment. Featuring an L195-30F designation, this limit switch is engineered to open at 195°F and automatically reset once temperatures drop by 30°F (reset point: 165°F), providing reliable overheat protection for heating systems and air handling units.
High-limit switches are a critical safety component in any forced-air heating system. When supply air or heat exchanger temperatures exceed safe operating thresholds, the limit switch interrupts the circuit to prevent equipment damage, heat exchanger failure, or fire hazard. The AAON R51280 ensures your unit shuts down safely under high-temperature conditions and resumes normal operation once temperatures return to a safe range.
