Technical features
Housing dimensions: see drawings
Capillary: Copper, capillary length 500 or 900 mm. Black PVC sleeve on capillary. Capillary minimum bending radius 5 mm.
For technical reasons, we do not recommend to use capillary length longer than 900 mm. We don’t recommend 500mm long capillary for calibration temperature above 90°C (194°F)
Special lengths on request.
Bulb: Copper, corkscrew type for temperatures from 70 to 130°C (158 to 266°F).
Straight uncoiled capillary available on request
Temperature sensing element: Liquid-filled thermostatic assembly whose boiling causes tripping of the contact.
Therefore, unlike liquid filled systems, these thermostats are sensitive to atmospheric pressure, and their reaction time is faster.
Terminals: Six 6.35 x 0.8, vertical quick connect terminals, epoxy sealed
Adjustment: Fixed setting
Mounting: rear bracket for 2 screws dia. 4mm, 60mm distance
Manual reset: Fail safe action, by waterproof front access button
Contacts: 3 poles single throw, 3 x 25A 250V, 3 x 20A 400V snap action, double break contacts.
Max ambient temperature on head: 85°C (185°F). Must not be higher of 10°C (18°F) than calibration temperature
Acceptable degree of pollution for use in 250V: 2
Acceptable degree of pollution for use in 400V: 2
Option: the spiral capillary in the shape of a bulb of dia. 6mm can be replaced by a tubular phial, but then the thermal response time is greatly increased.
Important safety note: Due to the presence of electrical connections near the reset button, disconnect the power supply before accessing it.
