Its impact-resistant housing made from high quality plastic makes the 1-pin mechanical body thermostat very robust and can also be used under harsh conditions. The measuring system used works according to the principle of liquid expansion and can be used without any problem up to a maximum admissible sensor temperature of 135 °C. The smooth round sensor made of copper has a diameter of 6 mm with a probe length of approx. 87 mm. The remote control cable of the thermostat is also rolled up out of copper and on delivery inside the housing. Under consideration of a bending radius of 5 mm the remote line can be led out of the housing and laid flexibly as required. The maximum permissible ambient temperature on the housing (protection type IP54) is 80 °C. The case is attached directly to the lower part of the housing as a wall mounting or by means of a tensioning belt on a pipe. The desired shutdown temperature can be easily adjusted with the help of a screw driver after removing the cover on a scale. The set switch-off temperature can be viewed at any time via a window in the housing cover. The temperature monitor is characterized by a high switching point accuracy of + / -3 % in the upper scale third. The installed temperature compensation reduces ambient temperature influences at the switching head to a minimum. A decisive advantage is that no additional power supply is required for measuring the temperature. The electrical connection is made by push-in© terminals, whereby the installation time is significantly reduced compared to conventional screw connections. The maximum permissible switching power is AC 230 Volt / 16 A. The thermostat has a switching difference (hysteresis) of approx. 3 K and switches back to the original state automatically after this value is fallen below the switch-off temperature. The temperature monitor can be used very flexibly and is used both in building automation as well as in heating, air-conditioning and ventilation technology. Other areas of application are the plastics industry, equipment and mechanical engineering as well as furnace construction, and temperature monitoring in laboratories and climate chambers. The device is approved in accordance with DIN EN 14597 and has EAC approval.This text is machine translated.
