This single pole thermostat from Under Control Instruments is designed for catering professionals needing reliable manual temperature control. Its key benefit is offering precise temperature management for equipment like hot cupboards and bain-maries within a 30°C to 110°C range. A potential caveat is its manual operation, requiring user adjustment for temperature changes. It features a robust build, a 1.5-meter liquid-filled sensing capillary for accuracy, and straightforward installation.

The Ego thermostat can control temperatures up to 110°C.
No, this thermostat is designed for heating applications only, with a range from 30°C to 110°C.
The sensing capillary should be positioned so that the bulb is immersed in or directly exposed to the medium whose temperature you wish to control (e.g., in the water bath of a bain-marie or within the air space of a warming oven).
This thermostat is designed for electric heating elements and is not typically suitable for gas appliances.
Single pole refers to a thermostat that controls one side (pole) of the electrical circuit. It is commonly used for simple on/off control of heating elements.
The liquid-filled sensing capillary tube is 1.5 meters long.
The thermostat itself controls the heating element based on temperature. An external power switch for the appliance is typically required.
Check that the power supply is connected and the circuit breaker is engaged. Verify the temperature setting is appropriate. Ensure the sensing bulb is correctly positioned and making contact with the medium to be heated. Inspect wiring for loose connections.
Ensure the sensing bulb is not exposed to drafts or direct heat sources unrelated to the primary heating element. Check that the capillary tube is not kinked. The thermostat might be undersized for the heating load, or the controlled environment may have significant heat loss.
Verify the sensing bulb is clean and free from any buildup that could insulate it. Ensure the capillary tube is not damaged. If the issue persists, the thermostat may require recalibration or replacement.
Setup: Installation typically involves connecting the thermostat's single pole to the heating element circuit and mounting the sensing bulb in the environment to be controlled. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before installation. Refer to the equipment's manual for specific wiring diagrams.
Compatibility: This thermostat is designed for single-phase applications and is compatible with most catering equipment utilizing single pole heating circuits, such as hot cupboards, bain-maries, warming cabinets, and immersion heaters within its temperature range (30°C-110°C).
Care: To maintain optimal performance, regularly clean the sensing bulb and the area around it. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the thermostat body. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or immersing the thermostat in water. Ensure the capillary tube is not kinked or damaged, as this can affect performance.
