Electromechanical thermostat 077B is used to
control the temperature in refrigerators,
upright and chest freezers, liquid coolers, bottle
coolers and small commercial refrigeration
appliances. The thermostat can be used as an
evaporator thermostat or a room thermostat.
The thermostats are available with normal
function, xed cut-in and cut-out temperature,
constant or variable cut-in temperature for
automatic defrost, and with a push button for
semi-automatic defrost.
All thermostats have NC (Normally closed) main
contacts; i.e. they cut out the compressor
current circuit on decreasing temperature.
077B thermostats are available as a standard
thermostat range, as a service kit range and as
customer specied versions adapted to specic
appliances.
Service kit thermostats are created with
specications and accessories that allow
universal application in the aftermarket, for
thermostat servicing on all types of
refrigeration and freezing appliances.
Service kit thermostats have a wider regulating
range than standard thermostats, and have
dierentials that ensure sucient standstill to
protect the compressor. They enable servicing
on all refrigerating and freezing appliances
independent of the make of thermostats, and
are contained in practical boxes complete with
electrical diagram and drawings of contents.

Portfolio
The complete 077B portfolio is very large, but the majority of 077B products are produced to order, as specied by
manufacturers of refrigeration appliances. This data sheet covers the aftermarket version of the 077B thermostats,
i.e. thermostats designed to replace made to order versions in an appliance service situation.
The primary dierences between made to order versions and service thermostats can be summarized as follows.
The thermostat regulates by cutting o or cutting in current to the compressor. Depending on the temperature
registered by the thermostat sensor, the thermostat controls the compressor by powering it (cut-in) or depowering
it (cut-o). The thermostat can be used either as an evaporator thermostat or a room thermostat.
All normal function thermostats have a cut-out temperature range and a cut-in temperature range. The dierential
is dened as the dierence between cut-in and cut-out temperatures. However, the temperature settings of xed
function thermostats are non-adjustable.
Figure 1: Cut-in, cut-out and dierential for normal
thermostats
On thermostats with constant cut-in temperature, B6 type, the terms “dierential” and “cut-in temperature range”
do not apply. The only relevant terms are “cut-out temperature range” and “temperature interval”.

thermostats with constant cut-in temperature

Applications
Thermostat 077B is used to control the temperature in refrigerators, upright and chest freezers, liquid coolers, bottle
coolers and small commercial refrigeration appliances.
The thermostat can be used as an evaporator thermostat or a room thermostat.
The Service Thermostat version have a wider regulating range than standard thermostats, and are optimized for
servicing on all refrigerating and freezing appliances independent of the make of thermostats.
077B thermostats are available with normal function, xed cut-in and cut-out temperature, constant or variable cutin temperature for automatic defrost, and with a pushbutton for semi-automatic defrost.
The thermostats can be supplied with the following supplementary functions:
• Auxiliary contact
• Change-over contact
• Signal contact
• Signal contact + series contact
• Signal contact + super freeze-function and indication of same
• Enclosed Brake Device contacts for appliances charged with ammable refrigerants
The series contact cuts out when the spindle is turned to position “stop”. Both the main and signal contacts are cut
out. The series contact withstands a max. load of 6/36 A or 8/40 A (FLA/LRA).
The auxiliary contact cuts out when the spindle is turned to position “stop”. The auxiliary contact can be used to cut
out a heating element, for example, also in line with the main switch. The contact withstands 6/36 A 240 V AC / 50
Hz or 8/40 A 240 V AC / 50 Hz.
The signal contact is used to set o an alarm (audible or visual) when the sensor temperature exceeds 3 – 5 °C of the
cut-in one. The signal contact withstands a max. load of 0.1 A NI (Resistive).
The reversing switch (changeover contact) is mainly used to control 3/2-way solenoid valves in dual temperature
cabinets. The changeover contact withstands a max. load of 0.5 A NI (resistive) or 0.1 A (inductive).
The super function contact cuts in when the spindle is turned to position “super”. The compressor runtime is
consequently unlimited. The super function contact withstands a max. load of 0.1 A NI (resistive).

NOTE:
Relay contact ratings are the same for all thermostats in 077B series, including Service thermostats.
Pressure and temperature
Pressure data
Factory set barometric pressure for service thermostats: 760 mm Hg (1013 hPa).
NOTE:
Thermostats made to order can be delivered with alternative barometric settings for e.g. high-altitude application,
which should be considered in case a service thermostat is applied.
Temperature ranges
Service thermostats have these temperature settings
• Multipack contains several items, individually packed, so that customers can purchase 1 item and receive all
relevant documentation.
• Industrial pack contains several items that are not individually packed. Industrial packs cannot be broken down,
and will only contain documentation on pack level, not on item level.
• Pallet pack contains several items on a pallet.
