ELTH-ATHf-EX-2 temperature monitor
ELTH-ATHf-EX-20 fail-safe temperature monitor
Brief descriptionExplosion-protected surface-mounting thermostats in the ELTH-ATHF-Ex series control and monitor thermal processes. They can be used directly in the hazardous area (zone 1 and zone 21). The thermostats are available both as temperature monitor ELTH-ATHF-EX-2 and temperature monitor ELTH-ATHF-EX-20 (fail-safe). Ex thermostats operate on the principle of liquid or gas expansion. The electrical switchingdevice is a microswitch inside a flameproof enclosure.

If the temperature falls below the selected setpoint (by the amount of the switching differential), the microswitch returns to its initial position. Self-monitoring facility on the fail-safe temperature monitor ELTH-ATHFEX-20 A failure of the measuring system, i.e. when the expansion liquid escapes, will cause the pressure under the diaphragm to drop, thus permanently opening the circuit. The thermostat canno longer be reset. If the probe cools down to a temperature in accordance with the control range table, e.g. below -20°C, the circuit will also open. The ELTH-ATHf-EX-20 is reset automatically.
