WARNING:
This low temperature detection thermostat is designed for use
only as an operating control. Where an operating control failure
would result in personal injury and/or loss of property, it is the
installer’s responsibility to add devices (safety, limit controls) or
systems (alarm, supervisory systems) that protect against, or
warn of control failure.

Operation
This thermostat incorporates a temperature sensing element of the vapor-filled type
which actuates a heavy duty contact through a rugged link mechanism.
Any one-foot length of the element subjected to temperatures below the temperature
setting of the thermostat will actuate the thermostat switch mechanism regardless of
the temperature being sensed by the remainder of the element. This makes the
thermostats ideal for protecting large coils where air stratification could cause
freezing conditions in a localized area.
The thermostat has a main and auxiliary contact unit. The main load circuit
(LINE-M2) opens on temperature drop and simultaneously, an auxiliary or alarm
circuit (LINE-Ml) closes on temperature drop.
NOTE:
The reset button must be manually pressed down and released to resume
normal fan system operation.
