Important Notes
Usage for the intended purpose
Use temperature sensors TRG 5-11 and TRG 5-41 only in conjunction with temperature switch TRS 5-7
for measuring temperatures.
Safety note
The equipment must only be installed and commissioned by qualified and competent staff.
Retrofitting and maintenance work must only be performed by qualified staff who – through adequate
training – have achieved a recognised level of competence.
Danger
The temperature sensors TRG 5-11 and TRG 5-41 are fixed in vessels or pipes. When
loosening the temperature sensor hot water, steam, gas, corrosive or toxic fluids might
escape. This presents the danger of poisoning or severe scalding and acid burns to the
whole body. Installation and maintenance work should only be carried out when the
system is depressurized! If necessary wear protective clothing.
The temperature sensor becomes hot during operation. This presents the risk of severe
burns to hands and arms.
All installation and maintenance work must only be performed when the system is cold!
PED (Pressure Equipment Directive)
The equipment complies with the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive PED 97/23/CE.
TRG 5-11 and TRG 5-41 can be used with fluids of group 2. With CE marking.
ATEX (Atmosphère Explosible)
According to the European Directive 94/9/EC the equipment must not be used in explosion risk areas!

Description
TRG 5-11 and TRG 5-41 are temperature sensors with integral thermocouples to DIN EN 60584.
The temperature sensors work in conjunction with the temperature switch TRS 5-7 and serve as safety
temperature limiters according to DIN 3440/prEN 14597 for signalling excessively high temperatures.
Application in combination with GESTRA safety temperature limiter TRS 5-7 in steam boilers,
(pressurized) hot water plants and furnaces according to DIN 30683 up to 1000 °C , e. g. for limiting
furnace or flue gas temperatures.
Function
The temperature sensors feature an exchangeable temperature sensing element, consisting of two
thermocouples type K (NiCr-Ni, Chromel-alumel) according to DIN IEC 584, class 2. To ensure short
response times the temperature sensors are installed without an additional thermowell. The voltage
generated in the thermocouple as a function of the temperature reading is compared in the safety
temperature limiter with the adjusted switch-off temperature. When the adjusted temperature limit
is exceeded, the follow-up function that has to be provided on site (e. g. a temperature alarm) will be
triggered.
