    To protect these switches from splashing water, corrosive liquid, and dust, the housing meets NEMA 4X for washdown conditions. Switches turn heating equipment on or off at a specified temperature. All have a probe on a cable for remote temperature readings. Set actuation points with the adjustment dial.
    SPDT—SPDT (Single pole, double throw) switches can be set to turn circuits from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed). Switches with one actuation point have one SPDT (single pole, double throw) relay. The relay can be set to turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed). The probe has 1/2 NPT male threads for installation directly into tanks, pipelines, and other process components. It comes with a bushing that adapts the thread size to 3/4 NPT male. Switches with two actuation points have two SPDT (single pole, double throw) relays. Each relay can be set to turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed).

    A digital display makes it easy to monitor the temperature and control when these switches turn heating equipment on and off. They have an adjustable reset, so you can change the temperature range between when they activate and deactivate, commonly referred to as deadband and differential. Use the keypad to adjust the setpoint and reset point anywhere on the setpoint range. They produce an electronic signal that is often used to communicate with a programmable logic controller (PLC), so they're common in control and automation applications. Install them directly into tanks, pipelines, and other process components using their threaded probe.
    These switches have a micro M12 plug, so you can quickly connect and disconnect them.
    Rated IP65 and IP67, these switches protect against dust and water from washdowns and temporary submersion. They’re also UL listed, C-UL listed, and CE marked, so they meet U.S., Canadian, and European safety standards.

    An adjustable reset lets you control the amount of temperature change, also known as deadband and differential, before these switches reset. Twist the rings to select the setpoint temperature and reset temperature anywhere within the setpoint range. When they reach the set temperature, they send an electronic signal to your programmable logic controller (PLC) to turn equipment on or off. Because they control two circuits, they turn one device from off to on (normally open) and another from on to off (normally closed). An LED illuminates to indicate they’re switching. These switches are often used in control and automation in hydraulics, pneumatics, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications. Made of stainless steel, they resist corrosion and chemicals.
    Install these switches directly into tanks, pipelines, and other process components using their threaded probe. They have a micro M12 plug connection and are compatible with micro M12 sockets, so you can quickly connect and disconnect them. After selecting your setpoint, tighten the locking ring to prevent unintentional changes.
    IP rated, these switches seal out dust and water from temporary submersion. They also meet U.S., Canadian, and European safety standards.

    Since these switches don’t have a housing above the probe, they are often used in tight spaces and low-clearance areas. The threaded probe installs directly into tanks, pipelines, and other process components to turn heating equipment on or off at a specified temperature. Use the adjustment screw to set the actuation point. All switches are SPST (single pole, single throw) and control one circuit.

    Send signals to trigger two different processes, each with their own set temperatures. For example, use one setpoint to turn a heater on and off at one temperature and another to activate an alarm if the temperature rises too far above the cutoff point. Twist the outer ring to adjust your setpoints—no need for tools. After choosing your setpoint, tighten the locking ring to prevent unintentional changes. Once the setpoint is reached, an LED illuminates, indicating the switching status. The threaded probe installs directly into tanks, pipelines, and other process components.
    These switches send an electronic PNP signal to your programmable logic controller (PLC), so they’re often used in control and automation applications. They have a micro M12 plug connection and are compatible with micro M12 sockets, allowing you to quickly connect and disconnect the switch.
    They are rated IP67 for protection from dust and temporary submersion.
