The thermostat in pressure-proof encapsuluation can be used directly in the Ex area (

Zone 1). Maximum switching voltage, switch
capacity and ambient temperature must be
taken into account and the rules for the installation in the Ex area must be observed.
All thermostats can be equipped with Ex
switching mechanisms.
Nevertheless, special circuits as well as versions with adjustable switching differences are
not possible.

General technical information

Adjustment of the thermostats

Adjustment to the lower switching point

The desired value xs corresponds to the lower switching point (on falling temperature),
the upper switching point xo (on rising temperature) is higher by the switching
difference xd.

Setting the switching temperature (desired value setting)

The grub screw located above the scale is to be slackened off approx. 2 turns before
making an adjustment and tightened up again after setting.
The switching temperature is set by the spindle.
The set switching temperature can be read off on the scale.
Slight variations between the set value and the switching point are inevitable due to
the tolerances and spreads in the characteristics of the sensors and springs, also to
friction in the moving parts of the switch.
The thermostats are as a rule set in such a way the desired value setting and the actual switching temperature coincide best in the middle range.
Any possible divergences are uniformly distributed to either side.

Changing the switching difference (only on switching units

TRMV...)
Switching temperature
(large scew)

Turning to right:

low switching temperature

Turning to left:

high switching temperature

The switching difference is changed by turning the threaded rod inside the setting
spindle. The lower switching point is not changed by adjusting the difference, only
the upper switching point is shifted by the amount of the difference. One revolution
of the difference screw varies the switching difference by approximately of the total
differential range.
Bear in mind when making the adjustment:

Turning to left: higher switching point

Electrical connection

Plug connection according to DIN EN 175 301.

Cable entry Pg 11, max. cable diameter 10 mm.
Cable outlet possible in 4 directions - spaced 90 apart.

Mounting position

Preference is to be given, if possible, to the vertical mounting position.

Protection IP54 is guaranted in accordance with the conditions of DIN 40050 for
vertical mounting. The type of protection may be changed by a different mounting
position.

Outdoor installation of the

instruments

The thermostats can also be installed outdoor, if they are mounted in a vertical position. On temperatures below 0C take care that there can form no condensation at the
sensor and inside the housing.

subject to change without prior notice.
