The thermostat can control temperatures from 50°C up to a maximum of 300°C.
Single Pole indicates that the thermostat controls one circuit; it opens or closes the connection for a single wire (typically the live wire) in the circuit.
The capillary tube is 1.5 meters (approximately 5 feet) in length.
The thermostat is rated for 250Vac and 16A.
No, this is a manual, analog thermostat and is not designed for digital or programmable control.
It uses Faston tab terminals for electrical connections.
While it offers precise control, it is primarily designed and rated for robust, high-heat commercial catering applications.
Verify the heating element is functional. Check that the capillary probe is correctly positioned and making good contact with the medium. Ensure the thermostat's temperature setting is within its operational range (50-300°C).
Clean the capillary probe. Ensure the probe is not exposed to drafts or direct heat sources other than the intended medium. Check for secure electrical connections.
Confirm that the power supply is connected correctly to the thermostat and that the thermostat is receiving power. Check the circuit breaker or fuse for the equipment. Ensure the thermostat's internal contacts are clean.
Setup: This thermostat is designed for integration into commercial cooking equipment. Installation involves connecting the power supply and the load to the designated faston tab terminals. The capillary probe must be securely positioned within the medium to be controlled (e.g., oil, air), ensuring it does not touch heating elements directly. Professional installation is recommended due to electrical connections.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for single-pole switching circuits in high-heat catering appliances such as deep fryers, griddles, ovens, and warming cabinets.
Care: Clean the thermostat body and terminals with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or immersing the unit in water. Ensure the capillary probe is kept clean and free from debris that could affect temperature readings.
