These instructions provide information for installation and

field calibration of B Temperature Switches.

Process temperature changes cause proportional

vapor pressure changes in the temperature sensing

bulb that acts on a diaphragm/piston assembly to

actuate and deactuate a snap-action electrical switching

element at discrete process temperatures. The instrument’s

behavior is determined by vapor pressure (105 range model

fill media is inert gas). For best results with the SOR

thermal activated temperature switch, the entire probe

must experience the media being monitored. If a

thermowell is being used, a thermal paste is recommended

to ensure the transfer of heat through the well to the probe.

B Temperature Switches General Instructions These instructions provide information for installationn and field calibration of B Temperature Switches. Process temperature changes cause proportional vapor pressure changes in the temperature sensing bulb that acts on a diaphragm/piston assembly to ing actuate and deactuate a snap-action electrical switching ment’s element at discrete process temperatures. The instrument’s behavior is determined by vapor pressure (105 rangee model fill media is inert gas).

Installation This product should be installed by trained and competent personnel only. Direct-Mount Probe The temperature sensing probe is rigidly attached to the instrument’s body/housing. Carefully insert the sensing probe into the process through a suitable fitting or into a thermowell. The standard process connection is 1/2” NPT(M). Ensure that ample clearance exists before rotating the instrument housing to make the threaded connection.
PAGE 3
Electrical Connection Ensure that wiring conforms to all applicable local and national electrical codes and install unit(s) according to relevant national and local safety codes. NOTE: FOR ATEX Certified Models, Electrical conduit connection threads may be of non-ISO thread form. Check the product nametag for relevant thread form information before attempting to connect to the electrical conduit connection. In the event a fitting is used, check the adaptor body for thread size information.
