The 100 Series is a temperature switch for alarm and safety applications, housed in a die-cast aluminum enclosure with Type 4X protection and a single SPDT snap-action switch. It operates within -40°F to 160°F (-40°C to 71°C), with set point repeatability of ±1% for temperature models and withstands 15 G shock and 2.5 G vibration from 5 to 500 Hz. The electrical connection is 1/2" NPT (female) with two 7/8" knockouts. It is certified for intrinsic safety as Ex ia IIC T6 Ga under ATEX, IECEx, UL, CSA, and GB standards. The switch is rated for 15A at 125/250/480 VAC resistive and 0.5A resistive / 0.03A inductive at 125 VDC. Local temperature models B100 and C100 weigh 2.5 lbs.
The 100 Series is simple to install and operate for alarm, safety and emergency shutdown applications where preserving process uptime, and protecting personnel and equipment are paramount. A rugged switch, the 100 Series is ideal for both heavy industry and the OEM, and carries global agency certification. As an electromechanical switch, it can safely operate independently of the control system and switch reliably when called upon, free from potential communication errors or cyber concerns. Typical applications that utilize the 100 Series include controlling rotating equipment - pumps, turbines, and compressors, heat tracing, fire suppression systems, and fuel/gas trains.
