Temperature ranges

Nominal Switching

Temperature (NST)

Note:

The nominal switching temperature can be

selected in steps of 5 K. It is preset on delivery and

cannot be changed.

Switch point accuracy ±5 K

Reset Switching

Temperature (RST)

Typically 15 ... 40 K below the switching

temperature

To ensure a safe reset of the switch at low

switching temperatures, care must be taken

that the temperature dierence between the

measuring point and environment is high

enough; since otherwise the switch cannot cool

back down to the reset switching temperature

and thus the instrument will not be able to

return to its normal state.

Ambient temperature The maximum permissible ambient temperature

depends on the electrical connection.

Note:

Due to short installation length there is a risk that

the temperature at the connector will rise up to an

inadmissibly high value. This absolutely must be

taken into account when designing the measuring

point. The temperature at the connector must not

exceed the above mentioned temperature range.
