L482A LOW LIMIT CONTROLLER 
Sensing Element 
IMPORTANT 
•  The maximum allowable sensing element tempera-
ture is 250°F (121°C). 
•  Uncoil only the amount of element required for the 
application. 
•  Bend element carefully and only as much as neces-
sary. Bends require a minimum radius of one inch 
(25 mm). 
•  Bend only some distance from the controller. 
•  Pulling on the element damages it. 
•  For elements subject to vibration, provide protection 
from any surface which the element contacts. 
•  Mount element horizontally as shown in Fig. 2 and 3. 
1.  Locate the sensing element where it can sense the  
temperature of the air to be controlled. 
NOTE:  Locate the element away from hot or cold air 
inlets. 
2.  Punch or drill a 1/4 in. hole in the duct and install  
CCT1802 Grommet (Fig. 2) to protect the capillary. 
3.  Carefully insert the element through the grommet into 
the duct. Use as much element as possible to provide 
maximum protection. 
4.  Mount the element inside the duct or fasten to the coil if 
freezing can occur. 
a.  Duct mounting: Use CCT2600 Clip (Fig. 2). 
b.  Coil fastening: Use perforated metal straps (Fig. 3).

OPERATION 
On a temperature drop to setpoint, LINE 1 to M1 contacts 
close and LINE 2 to M2 contacts open. Reset to the normal 
state is manual. 
WIRING 
WARNING 
Electrical Shock Hazard. 
Can cause severe injury, death or equipment  
damage. 
Disconnect power supply before beginning installation 
to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage. 
IMPORTANT 
– All wiring must agree with applicable codes, 
ordinances and regulations. 
– When switching both ac line voltage and an 
automation input (Fig. 4), the input wires must 
run no more than three feet in the same conduit. 
See Fig. 6. 
For typical L482A wiring, see Fig. 4 and 5. 
NOTES: 
–  Screw terminals are provided for wiring 
connections. 
–  Maximum wire size is 12 AWG. 
–  Use 8-32 x 1/4-inch screws for replacement if 
necessary. Longer screws can interfere with the 
switch mechanism and damage the switch.
