to prevent ignition of hazardous atMospheres,
disconnect supply circuits before opening. Keep cover
tight while circuits are energized.
MaxiMuM teMperature* stated in literature and on naMe-
plate Must never be exceeded, even by surges in the
systeM. occasional operation of unit up to Max. teMper-
ature is acceptable (e.g., start-up, testing). continuous
operation should be restricted to the designated adjustable
range.
*Maximum temperature - the highest temperature to which a sensing ele-
ment may be occasionally operated without adversely affecting set point
calibration and repeatability.
this device does not have any field replaceable parts.
any substitution of coMponents May iMpair suitability
for class i, division 1.
the 120 series temperature switch utilizes either a liquid filled sensing stem
(immersion stem, direct mounting) or liquid filled sensing bulb (bulb & capil-
lary, remote mounting) to detect a temperature change. the response at
a pre-determined set point(s), actuates a spdt, dual spdt, or dpdt snap-
acting micro switch(es), converting the temperature signal into an electrical
signal. control set point(s) may be varied by turning the adjustment hex
(c120, f120) or the external knob(s) and pointer(s) (b121, b122, e121,
e122,820e, 822e) according to the procedures outlined (see part ii -
adjustments)
