Explosion-proof Bimetal Thermometer
Product Overview
Section titled “Product Overview”The explosion-proof bimetal thermometer uses an electrical contact structure. It directly measures the temperatures of liquid, steam and gas media in production processes, with a measurement range of -80 to +500°C. Temperature change causes the electrical contact to connect with or disconnect from the upper and lower limit contacts, operating the relay in the circuit for automatic control and alarm.

Applications
Section titled “Applications”- Temperature measurement of liquid, steam and gas media in production processes.
- Applications requiring local temperature indication, automatic control and alarm.
- Temperature-measurement applications requiring the Ex db IIC T4…T6 Gb explosion-proof grade.
Product Advantages
Section titled “Product Advantages”- Local temperature indication for direct reading.
- Automatic power cut-off and alarm function.
- Thermal response time not more than 40 s.
- Protection level available in IP55, IP65 and IP66.
- Explosion-proof grade: Ex db IIC T4…T6 Gb.
Installation Method
Section titled “Installation Method”The structure diagram shows two constructions: WSSX-481B and WSSX-401B. For selection, provide the required insertion length L, mounting connection and available installation space.
