Due to technical changes, the instruction manuals available online may not always correspond to the product version you have purchased.
  • Page 4: Operating Principle

    4. Operating Principle The switching element in the model TWR is a thermal time-delay switch. Two strips of metal with different coefficients of thermal expansion are rolled together in the switch. When temperature is applied the bimetal reed bends and thus opens/closes the contact.

    6. Use in Hazardous Areas 6.1. General The temperature switches TWR-3 **** and TWR-4 **** can be used as follows (taking into account the notes and the approved electrical limit values): a) In zone 2 (Gas-Ex, EPL Gc) in explosion group IIA, IIB and IIC b) In zone 22 (Dust Ex, EPL Dc) in explosion groups IIIA, IIIB and IIIC The temperature switch also fulfills the requirements for a simple electrical apparatus according to EN 60079-14 and EN 60079-11 and can be used in...
  • Page 6: Warnings For Use In Hazardous Areas

    6.4. Warnings for use in hazardous areas a) Equalizing currents must not be routed through the metallic constructions. b) The temperature switch must be installed so that possible electrostatic charges can be charged off. (Leakage resistance to PA <1 MΩ) c) The temperature switch should be protected against mechanical shocks.
  • Page 7: Mechanical Connection

    7. Mechanical Connection Before installation:  Make sure that the desired TWR switching temperature and switching function corresponds with your plant requirements. The TWR data is to be found on the metal nameplate (OFF = N/C contact, ON = N/O contact at the specified temperature).
  • Page 8 Contacts TWR-1... TWR-2... TWR-3... TWR-4... TWR-1/3... TWR-2/4..., N/O function The contact closes when the temperature rises and the switching value has been reached or exceeded. It opens again when the temperature falls below the limit value less the switching hysteresis. Electrical wiring option –L and –G (The circuit is placed inside of the connector in parallel to the contact, not for ATEX version):...
  • Page 9: Maintenance

    Hysteresis Hysteresis is the difference between make and break points, which are at different temperatures. The hysteresis is max.20 °C. Example: TWR-110500 Contact opens at 50 °C ±5 °C Contact closes at approximately 30 °C ±5 °C Note: Temperature switches with low switching temperatures, when used at high ambient temperatures, are only reset when the switch is cooled to below the ambient temperature.
