RESET TEMPERATURES
Reset temperature will be between 5 °C and
50 °C below the standard response temperatures.
INSTALLATION/MOUNTING INFORMATION
Incorporation of the thermo-switch directly in the
heat source or attachment to it, is possible without
additional insulation.
Slightest changes in temperature are conducted
through the metallic housing cap directly to the
bimetal snap disc of the thermo-switch. This ensu-
res that time delays of thermal control systems
are kept very small: insensitive to installation posi-
tion. The dust-proof and damp-proof construction
of the thermo-switch allows various methods of
attachment to, and incorporation in appliances.
To ensure the best heat transition, the cap respec-
tively the mounting bracket should be soldered,
rivetted, screwed or spot-welded to the heat
source.
