Description
The First Company E146 is an OEM replacement L145-40F limit switch engineered to provide reliable high-temperature protection in First Company air handlers and fan coil systems. When supply-air temperatures exceed safe operating thresholds, the limit switch interrupts the circuit to prevent equipment damage and protect occupants — then automatically resets once temperatures return to a safe level.
How It Works
The L145-40F designation defines the switch’s operating parameters: the contacts open (trip) when the sensed temperature reaches 145°F and close (reset) after the temperature drops by 40°F, returning the system to normal operation at approximately 105°F. This automatic-reset action makes the switch ideal for continuous-duty residential and light-commercial HVAC applications.
