Important Notes Usage for the intended purpose The temperature switch TRS 5-6 serves as safety device in plants requiring official approval and is used in conjunction with resistance thermometers TRG 5-53, TRG 5-54, TRG 5-55 and TRG 5-57. Use the temperature switch only for signalling temperature limits.
The failure of one channel (loss of redundancy) is signalled by the light- ing-up of one red LED. The combination of TRG 5-... and TRS 5-6 provides fail-safe protection against a first fault, i.e. the system will still continue to provide the safety function even after the occurrence of a first fault.
Special voltages 5 V +/– 0 %, 50/60 Hz or 4 V +/– 0 %, 50/60 Hz. Power consumption 5 VA Protection TRS 5-6 b: IP 0 to DIN EN 6059 Admissible ambient temperature TRS 5-6 b: 0 °C to 55 °C Body materials TRS 5-6 b: Base ABS, black.

Basic Settings Adjusting temperature limit The rear of the upper part of the housing is provided with a code switch (8 poles) for setting the tem- perature limit. Example 1 A temperature limit is to be set at T = 76 °C. The code switch indicates eight values between and 56.
Commissioning Check wiring Make sure that the TRS 5-6 is wired to its associated temperature sensor as indicated in the wiring diagram. Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12 Apply mains voltage Apply mains voltage to temperature switch TRS 5-6. Performance test TRS 5-6 .
Operation Malfunctions Danger The terminal strip of the equipment is live during operation. This presents the risk of severe cases of electric shock! Cut off power supply before mounting or removing the terminal strips and the housing cover. Fault-finding list for troubleshooting Normal operation - Temperature switch triggers an alarm Fault: The temperature switch triggers an alarm during normal operation.
Decommissioning Danger The terminal strip of the equipment is live during operation. This presents the risk of severe cases of electric shock! Cut off power supply before mounting or removing the terminal strips and the housing cover. Disposal Dismantle the equipment and separate the waste materials, using the material specification as a reference.
