Setpoint dial range Dual marked 35 to 60°F (1.7 to 15.5°C). TC-5242: 15 to 55qF (-9.4 to 12.8qC).
Sensing element Vapor pressure type, copper construction.
Response
To lowest temperature sensed by any one-foot section of its element. Altitude causes the control to
operate approximately 1°F colder per 1000 ft. of elevation.
Differential 5 F degrees (3 C degrees) fixed.
Electrical switch Refer to Model Chart.
Ratings Refer to Model Chart.
Connections Coded screw terminals.
Mounting In any position on
any surface not subject to excessive vibration.
