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 50 °C. The spiral sensor of high-quality stainless steel has a diameter of 17 mm and is placed at the side of the housing. If required, the sensor can be attached on the opposite side. The maximum permissible ambient temperature on the housing (protection type IP54) is 50 °C. The case is attached directly to the lower part of the housing as a wall mounting. 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. 1.5 to 2 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 the room temperature monitoring as well as in building automation. Use is also possible in the heating, air conditioning and ventilation technology. Other uses are temperature monitoring in laboratory and climate control cabinets. The device is approved in accordance with DIN EN 14597 and has EAC approval.This text is machine translated.
