Turn heating equipment on or off in environments with flammable gases, combustible dust, and ignitable fibers, such as chemical plants, refineries, and grain elevators. The switch housing is UL listed for use in Class I, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups B, C, and D; Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F, and G; and Class III, Divisions 1 and 2 hazardous locations. It also meets NEMA 4X for use in washdown environments with splashing water, corrosive liquid, and dust. Switches have a probe on a cable for remote temperature readings. Set actuation points with the adjustment dial.

Switch with one actuation point has one SPDT (single pole, double throw) relay. The relay can be set to turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed). The probe has 1/2 NPT male threads for installation directly into tanks, pipelines, and other process components. It comes with a bushing that adapts the thread size to 3/4 NPT male.

Switch with two actuation points has two SPDT (single pole, double throw) relays. Each relay can be set to turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed).

Often used in hazardous locations, such as chemical plants, refineries, and grain elevators, these switches have a housing that’s UL listed for environments with flammable gases, combustible dust, and ignitable fibers. It is UL listed for use in Class I, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups B, C, and D; Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F, and G; and Class III, Divisions 1 and 2 hazardous locations. The housing also meets NEMA 4X for use in washdown environments with splashing water, corrosive liquid, and dust. Install the threaded probe directly into tanks, pipelines, and other process components to turn heating equipment on or off at a specified temperature. Set actuation points with the adjustment dial.

Switch with one actuation point has one SPDT (single pole, double throw) relay. The relay can be set to turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed).

For protection in washdown conditions with splashing water, corrosive liquid, and dust, these controllers have a wall-mount housing that meets NEMA 4X. They’re ideal for systems with rapid, unpredictable, or complex temperature changes. They turn heating equipment on and off using a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control algorithm to make fine adjustments, giving you the most precise and stable temperature control. All work similarly to proportional controllers but gather more variables to calculate the most effective way to return to the target temperature and avoid overshooting it. They also have fuzzy logic to learn your system's behavior and compensate as needed. Use the autotuning function to have the controller cycle and identify the ideal PID variables for your system. These controllers include a highly sensitive Type J thermocouple probe to take temperature readings in critical process applications. Since they reset automatically, they switch off and on again as the temperature fluctuates. Use the keypad to adjust the actuation point, reset point, and other settings.

The controllers have mechanical relay outputs that actuate circuits directly. All are 3PST (triple pole, single throw) and turn three circuits from off to on (normally open). They also have two additional outputs to actuate alarms or other simple devices.

The faceplate on these controllers is sealed to meet NEMA 4X and IP66 for protection in washdown environments with splashing water, corrosive liquid, and dust. The rear case meets IP20, which prevents objects about the size of a finger from coming into contact with a live circuit.

Because they have proportional-integral-derivative (PID) software, these controllers are ideal for turning heating equipment on and off in systems with rapid, unpredictable, and complex temperature changes. They help you achieve precise and stable temperature control with fuzzy logic that learns system behavior and automatically compensates for changes. Use the autotuning function to cycle and identify the ideal PID variables for your system to achieve the most precise control. These controllers read temperature with a highly sensitive thermocouple probe (sold separately) in critical process applications. All fit into instrument panels with DIN cutouts. Use the keypad to adjust the actuation point, reset point, and other settings.

Controllers with automatic reset switch off and on again automatically as the temperature fluctuates. Controllers with automatic/manual reset give you the choice to have machines turn back on either automatically when the temperature fluctuates, or you can manually reset their switch. When set to manual they shut down your machine when it gets too hot to protect equipment and personnel. They won’t turn the machine back on until you reset their switch. They have a second output to actuate an alarm or another simple device.

Mechanical relay outputs actuate circuits directly. Single pole, single throw (SPST) relays turn one circuit from off to on (normally open). Single pole, double throw (SPDT) relays can be set to turn the circuit from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed).

Solid state relay outputs send a pulse signal to directly control an external solid-state relay (not included). They have a longer service life than mechanical and signal relays. Use them for more precise and rapid control switching than mechanical relays.

Analog signal outputs send 4-20 mA current to actuate equipment on a current loop. They are typically used with SRC (silicon controlled rectifier) power controllers (not included) for some of the highest precision control.

DIN-rail/surface-mount adapters (sold separately) mount 1/16 DIN controllers to a surface.

DIN cutout adapters (sold separately) convert larger cutouts to fit 1/16 DIN controllers.
