Pre-Alarm Using A20/A25TABS
Typical Internal Wiring Diagrams
The A20TABS and A25TABS features a standard limit contact for equipment
shutdown on high temperature. It also has an internal SPDT snap-switch to sig-
nal an alarm before shutting down. When the snap-switch trips (preset point), on
rising temperature, the switch completes a circuit to activate an alarm. If the
temperature continues to increase, the face-adjustable pointer contact will make
and the shutdown circuit will be completed (see the typical diagram below for
reference). The front contact shutdown limit setting (which is adjustable) and
the snap-switch are preset at the factory. Refer to “Temperature Ranges and
Factory Settings” table on opposite page for settings. For alternative alarm
before shutdown, see Magnetic Switch model 760A or 761APH.

Magnetic Switches show the cause of shutdown for applica-
tions that include: capacitor discharge or magneto ignitions, battery systems and
electric motor driven equipment. Typical wiring diagrams are shown below.
