Please note the technical data in the appendix for the specific intended use, existing material combinations, as well as temper-
ature limits.
WARNING
All device models are solely intended for industrial applications. They are not safety com-
ponents. The devices must not be used if failure or malfunction thereof jeopardises the
safety and health of persons.
Use in explosive areas is prohibited.
1.2 Design types
The Thermotronic is equipped with different switching and analogue outputs based on the configuration. The outputs are freely
programmable.
The available versions are:
TT77F… The display and control unit can be mounted to the tank along with the switching tube.

4.1 Installation
When installing directly to the tank, the sensor is screwed into the designated bore on the tank.
When installed with remote display, the display and control unit are mounted to a 35mm (1.4") top-hat rail. The sensor connects
with a line. The connector for the sensor is located at the bottom of the display and control unit. The plugs at the top supply
power and output the signals.
4.2 Electrical connections
Electricity is supplied via plug connectors. Please refer to the appendix for installation dimensions, nominal voltage and plug
configuration.
The temperature switching outputs are PNP transistors (see illustration):
Supply voltage
Note: When measuring the switching output with high-load measuring device inputs or when used as a frequency output, the
load must be set to 10 kΩ between the output and earth (GND) to avoid faulty measurements.

signal, we recommend loading the switching output
with an load of 10kΩ.

5.7.2 Switching output x: Upper switching limit (switching point)
The upper switching limit for switching output Out x can be defined with the following submenu:
Measured variable ____ out_
Measured variable main menu
Out X ____
SPI FHI F I.Hi
Switching point X
____
Selection menu
[ o.Lo - o.Hi ]
Settings menu OUTX
Setting range:
0 °C to 100 °C
(32 °F to 212 °F)
Switching point for OUT x
Note:
– The switching point must be set to within the range limits (see menu Basic Settings Advanced
Functions).
– If switching output OUT x was assigned the function Window, will appear. The
setting corresponds with the upper window limit.
– If switching output OUT x was assigned the function Frequency output, will ap-
pear. The setting corresponds to the frequency 100 Hz.

5.7.3 Switching output x: Lower switching limit (switch-back point)
The lower switching limit for switching output Out x can be defined with the following submenu:
Measured variable ____ out_
Measured variable main menu
Out X ____
rPI FLI F I.Lo
Switch-back point X
____
Selection menu
[ o.Lo - o.Hi ]
Settings menu OUTX
Setting range:
0 °C to 100 °C
(32 °F to 212 °F)
Switch-back point for OUT x
Note:
– The switch-back point must be set to within the range limits and must always be lower than the
switching point.
– If switching output OUT x was assigned the function Window, will appear. The
setting corresponds with the lower window limit.
– If switching output OUT x was assigned the function Frequency output, will ap-
pear. The setting corresponds to the frequency 1Hz.
5.7.4 Switching output x: Switch-on delay
The menu Advanced Functions EFx is used to configure additional settings for switching output x. The submenu is at the second
submenu level.
The switching and switch-back delay prevents the alarm being triggered too frequently in unstable conditions. The switching
delay can be configured with the following menu:
Measured variable ____ out_
Measured variable main menu
Out X EF_
EF X
Advanced Functions
dS_
Delay SP X
Delay OUTX On
___
Selection menu
0 - 100
Settings menu OUTX
Setting range:
0…100 seconds
Time span in seconds during which the signal must be continuously present for the switching out-
put to respond.
Note:
– If switching output OUTx was assigned the function Window, the setting corresponds to the
switch-on delay which detects valid reaching of the measuring window.
– If switching output OUT x was assigned the function Frequency output, this value will have no
affect.
5.7.5 Switching output x: Switch-back delay
The switch-back delay can be configured with the following menu:
Measured variable ____ out_

Settings menu OUTX
Setting range:
0…100 seconds
Switch-back signal delay for OUT x.
Time span in seconds during which the signal must be continuously present for the switching out-
put to respond.
Note:
– If switching output OUTx was assigned the function Window, the setting corresponds to the
switch-on delay which detects valid closing of the measuring window.
– If switching output OUTx was assigned the function Frequency output, this value will have no
affect.
