5 Operation and control
DANGER
Electric voltage
Risk of electric shock
a) Disconnect the unit from the mains when performing
any maintenance.
b) Secure the equipment from accidental restarting.
c) The unit may only be maintained and opened by instruc-
ted, competent personnel.
The pin assignment for the respective models are listed in
chapter Pin Assignment.
5.1 TF-M-Pt100/TF-E-Pt100/TF-M-Pt100-VAL
Temperature Sensor
Type TF temperature sensors use a Pt100 temperature sensor
per DIN/IEC 751 class B to generate a temperature-dependent
resistance signal. The Pt100 sensor is installed at the lowest
point of the sensor tube to always ensure sufficient contact
with the medium being measured.
The temperature sensor TF-M-Pt100-VAL was designed for
measuring storage temperatures and has a spring-loaded
sensor tube to allow installation free of play with a constant
contact pressure at the measuring point.
5.2 TSM/TSK/TSA Bi-Metal Temperature Switch
The TS temperature sensors have a bi-metal temperature
switch to signal a set temperature value. Unlike the TSM
standard version, the TSK and TSA versions with bi-metal
switches have a lower hysteresis.
The TSA version is further specifically designed for installation
in tube systems and cooling matrices.
The bi-metal switch is installed at the lowest point of the
sensor tube to always ensure sufficient contact with the me-
dium being measured.
5.3 Thermolog MK2/EK2 Temperature Sensor with
4-20mA Output
Type MK2 and EK2 temperature sensors use a Pt100 temperat-
ure sensor per DIN EN/IEC 60751 Class B to generate a temper-
ature-dependent resistance signal.
The built-in electronics convert this resistance signal into a
standard 4-20 mA two-lead signal.
The Pt100 sensor is installed at the lowest point of the sensor
tube to always ensure sufficient contact with the medium be-
ing measured.
