protection and additional low-liquid
level protection
a
Usually water; other liquids only if they are non-flammable within the temperature range
in single fault condition
b
Bath liquids shall have a flash point
≥
65 °C, this means if ethanol is used, only
supervised operation is possible.
c
Overheating protection can be by using for example a suitable liquid level sensor or
a suitable temperature limiting device.
d
Optional at the manufacturer`s discretion.
Your temperature control unit is designated a Class III FL.
The type and function of the over-temperature protection and low-level protection is
dependent on the temperature control unit.
Monitoring of the over-temperature is the same for all CC-Thermostats. As, there are
models with two sensors and models with only one sensor.
Two diferent types of low-level protection are available (depending on the model):
1.
Temperature control machines with classical float (e.g. ministats)
2.
Temperature control machines with an electronic low-level protection (e.g. K6-
cc-NR
)
