SPECIFICATIONS
Setpoint Dial Range: Dual marked 35 to 60°F (1.7 to 15.5°C).
Sensing Element: Vapor pressure type, copper construction.
Response: To lowest temperature sensed by any one-foo
t section
of its element. Altitude
causes the control to operate approximately 1°F colder per 1000 ft. of elevation.
Differential: 5°F (3°C) fixed.
Electrical Switch: Snap action SPDT or DPST. Refer to Table-1.
Ratings, Refer to Table-1 and
Table-2.
Connections:
TC-52xx, Screw terminals.
Mounting: In any position on any surface not subject to excessive vibration.
Housing: Molded gray PVC plastic cover with a zinc-plated steel main
enclosure with a 1/2
in. conduit opening.
Ambient Temperature Limits:
Shipping and Storage, -40 to 150°F (-40 to 66°C).
Operating, Must be 5°F (3°C) above setpoint to a maximum of 150°F (66°C) at case.
Thermal Sensing Element, 300°F (149°C).
Humidity:
Enclosure, 5 to 95% RH, non-condensing.
Thermal Sensing Element, 0 to 100% RH.
closure Rating: NEMA Type 1.
En
Dimensions:
Case, 2.7 H x 3.44 W x 1.97 D in. (69 x 87 x 50 mm).
