United Electric Controls 105 Series Installation And Maintenance Instructions

Please read all instructional literature carefully and thoroughly before starting. Refer to the final page for the listing of Recommended
Practices, Liabilities and Warranties.

GENERAL

Type B105 (Immersion Stem)
Temperature variations are sensed by a liquid filled sensor which expands
or contracts against a bellows which in turn actuates or deactuates a snap-
action switch at a predetermined set point.
Type E105 (Bulb & Capillary)
Temperature variations of a liquid filled sensing bulb are hydraulically trans-
mitted to a bellows which either actuates or deactuates a snap-acting switch
at a predetermined set point.

Installation and Maintenance
Instructions
For remote mounting, fully immerse the bulb and 6" of capillary in the control
zone. It is generally desirable to place the bulb close to the heating or cooling
source in order to sense temperature fluctuations quickly. Be sure to locate
the bulb so that it will not be exposed to temperatures beyond the instrument
range limits.
