The 120 series temperature switch utilizes either a liquid filled sens-
ing stem (immersion stem, direct mounting) or liquid filled sensing bulb
(bulb & capillary, remote mounting) to detect a temperature change. The
response at a pre-determined set point(s), actuates a spdT, dual spdT,
or dpdT snap-acting micro switch(es), converting the temperature signal
into an electrical signal. control set point(s) may be varied by turning
the adjustment hex (c120, f120) or the external knob(s) and pointer(s)
(b121, b122, e121, e122, e122p, 820e, 822e) according to the proce-
dures outlined (see part II - adjustments)
MaxIMuM TeMperaTure* sTaTed In lITeraTure and on naMe-
plaTe MusT never be exceeded, even by surges In The sys-
TeM. occasIonal operaTIon of unIT up To Max. TeMpera-
Ture Is accepTable (e.g., sTarT-up, TesTIng). conTInuous operaTIon
should be resTrIcTed To The desIgnaTed adjusTable range.
*Maximum Temperature - the highest temperature to which a sensing ele-
ment may be occasionally operated without adversely affecting set point
calibration and repeatability.
