Intended use
The Types 5343, 5344, 5345, 5347, 5348 and 5349 Thermostats are designed as switching
devices to open or close a circuit based on the temperature in heating, ventilation and air-
conditioning systems as well as in process engineering and industrial energy transfer
systems. The thermostats are designed to operate under exactly defined conditions (e.g.
switching point, voltage). Therefore, operators must ensure that a thermostat is only used in
operating conditions that meet the specifications used for sizing the thermostat at the
ordering stage. In case operators intend to use a thermostat in applications or conditions
other than those specified, contact SAMSON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de
-
vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
Î
Refer to the technical data for limits and fields of application as well as possible uses. See
the 'Design and principle of operation' section.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The thermostats are not suitable for the following applications:
− Use outside the limits defined during sizing and by the technical data
Furthermore, the following activities do not comply with the intended use:
− Use of non-original spare parts
− Performing service and repair work not described
Qualifications of operating personnel
The thermostats must be mounted, started up, serviced and repaired by fully trained and
qualified personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices must be observed. Ac
-
cording to these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel refers to individuals
who are able to judge the work they are assigned to and recognize possible hazards due to
their specialized training, their knowledge and experience as well as their knowledge of the
applicable standards.
