pan and shuts off the system by breaking low or line voltage
current to the compressor. Switch is normally closed. By clipping
the oat switch to the side of the auxiliary drain pan, ceiling wa-
ter damage is prevented. In some areas, this switch can replace
an auxiliary drain pan. Local building codes should be checked
for application.
