General The KOBOLD TDD Series is a solid state, electronic temperature switch which employs a Pt-100 RTD as the heart of the sensing system. The measuring probe and housing are constructed of 316L stainless steel providing excellent corrosion resistance. The TDD’s microprocessor based electronics allow the user to program a setpoint, adjust switching hysteresis, dampening and switch logic.

5.1.1 Changing Values in Setup Mode When in the Setup Mode the actual values of setpoint, hysteresis, switch logic and other functions are adjusted as required by the user. From the main menu (e.g. switching point “SPo”), press the “ ” button to adjust that functions value. The following diagram shows the sequence of steps required to change a value: Diagram 5.3 Sequence to Change a Value Press “...

5.2.4 duo - Window Point This menu item allows the user to set a value above the switchpoint such that a temperature band, or window can be monitored. Note: The duo value must be a positive number and it must be a larger value that the SPo value.
actual system temperature changes and process the temperature change signals without filtering. This greatly enhances the switch’s response time when the filtering function is being used. 5.2.6 Con - Switch Logic This menu item allows the user to select the output switch logic as either normally closed (nc), or normally open (no): Normally Open: Switch activates when measured temperature is above the...
