Temperature Control Products From Fenwal

 

Temperature Control, Series 59, from Fenwal is available as either a 24 VAC or a 120/208/240 VAC selectable on/off controller that can support solid state, thermocouple, RTD, or thermistor sensors. The electronic temperature control unit features two-button, menu-driven programmability and a large 3-digit LED display.


These UL/CUL/CE recognized electronic temperature control units install easily and lets manufacturers configure the program parameters per their own specifications. The 59 Series of electronic temperature control units are accurate to <1% of span. The units provide programmable set-point temperature, adjustable differential from 2° F to 20° F, offset, and timer options to signal an alarm or shut down a process. The units display process and set point temperatures and offer probe-failure diagnostics with an error message display. The electronic temperature control units are software configurable for specific temperature ranges and sensor types.

Values are entered via push-button switches to configure the controller. A mechanical relay or an output for driving an external solid-state-relay (SSR Driver) is available.

Built for easy installation and operation, these new advanced microprocessor based ON/OFF electronic control units offer features such as

  • Low-cost alternative to a DIN control
  • Available with four different types of sensors
  • Push-button menu for field programming
  • Custom temperature ranges programmed at factory
  • Sensor failure detection
  • Conformal coating for harsh environments
  • 120/208/240 VAC or 24 VDC, 24 VAC

Options Include

  • Connector for external switch inputs
  • On-board alarm

Also available are a complete line of rugged, precise, dependable electromechanical temperature controllers, come in wide variety of temperature ranges. These electromechanical temperature controllers are available in many different probe lengths and mounting configurations to accommodate any application. For decades, Fenwal electromechanical temperature controllers have proven themselves in the most demanding applications. The THERMOSWITCH® electromechanical temperature controller provides a number of features, including fast response, close control, extreme sensitivity and vibration resistant construction. In addition, the controller is a component recognized by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).

Series 20000, 21000, 22000 - this series of controllers provide full 15A capability in either single or dual switch configurations. The discrete switch action makes the device suitable for dry-contact applications or switching of DC logic signals.

Another popular electromechanical temperature controllers are the Surface Mount THERMOSWITCH®, Series 30000. Also based on the differential expansion of metals principle, an increase in temperature causes the stainless steel outer case of the Surface Mounting THERMOSWITCH® controller to expand at a greater rate than the internal bridge assembly. Because the case is in direct contact with the heated surface, a temperature change is sensed almost instantaneously. An increase in temperature causes the case to expand, resulting in a linear change of the internal bridge assembly thus causing the electrical contacts to open. A decrease in temperature causes the contacts to close. The THERMOSWITCH® is fully adjustable with overlapping ranges from 50 to 600ºF with a 1200 Watt resistive load rating at 120- VAC/240 VAC. The THERMOSWITCH®, Series 30000 has a narrow temperature differential, uses UL recognized and CSA certified components and is compact is in size and economical to use.

Fenwal’s Engineering and Manufacturing system is certified to international standard ISO9001.The Fenwal brand of temperature and gas ignition products is well known throughout many industries for its high quality and reliability. The products are designed to provide excellent performance in the most demanding applications.
