1 Design and principle of oper-
ation
The thermostat is used in combination with a
control valve to regulate the temperature.
The thermostat can be fastened directly to
the control valve or using a double adapter.
A double adapter with or without locking fa-
cility allows a further thermostat to be con-
nected to achieve additional temperature
regulation or limitation.
The thermostat comprises the temperature
sensor, set point adjuster, capillary tube, and
operating element.
Depending on the eld of application, the
versions shown on the front cover can be se-
lected.
The thermostats operate according to the liq-
uid expansion principle. When, for example,
the temperature at the temperature sensor
(19) increases, the liquid contained in the
sensor expands, causing the pin (9) of the
operating element to be pushed upward by
the bellows (10). This travel motion acts on

4 EB 2231 EN
Installation
the plug stem of the connected valve and
moves the valve plug until the temperature
reaches the adjusted set point.
The temperature set point can be adjusted
using a key (12). By turning the key, a
spindle moves the piston (18) up or down,
causing the volume of the liquid contained in
the sensor (19) to change. As a result, the
valve plug moves within its operating travel
according to the adjusted set point within a
higher or lower temperature range measured
by the sensor.
Typetesting
The Types2231 to 2235 Control Thermostats
have been tested together with control valves
by the German Technical Inspectorate (TÜV)
in accordance with DINEN3440. The regis-
ter number is available on request.
EAC compliance
The thermostats bear the EAC mark of con-
formity.
2 Installation
2.1 Types2231 and 2232
(bulb sensor)
Bulb sensors are used to measure the tem-
perature of liquids. They are designed for in-
stallation in pipelines, heat exchangers, boil-
ers, baths, tanks, etc.
Installation recommendations
−Select the place of installation ensuring
that the sensor is installed as close as
possible to the heat source, but avoid
exposing it to overheating.
−When mounted in a boiler, we recom-
mend installing the sensor in the top third
of the boiler.
−When mounted in a counterow heat ex-
changer, we recommend installing the
sensor in a pipe elbow, directly behind
the pipe end socket piece.
−In plants with only temporary heat
consumption, a circulation pipe must be
provided when the regulator is mounted
on a counterow heat exchanger to
ensure that the sensor can respond to
temperature changes in the counterow
heat exchanger even when no water is
tapped.
Installation
ÎWeld on a pipe socket with female
thread (socket-weld design) of approx.
40mm in length at the place of
installation (this also applies when a
thermowell is used).
ÎRemove the double nipple (17) or ther-
mowell (if used) from the sensor (19) and
seal it into the welded socket.
ÎAdjust the highest possible set point on
the set point dial (13) using the key (12).
Insert the sensor with seal into the double
nipple or thermowell. Secure it with the
coupling nut (16). The entire length of the
temperature sensor (19) or thermowell
must be immersed in the process
medium.

Installation
Thermowell: When a thermowell is used, we
recommend lling the free space between
sensor and thermowell with oil or, when in-
stalled horizontally, with grease or any other
heat transfer medium to avoid delays during
heat transmission. Observe the thermal ex-
pansion of the lling medium. Do not ll the
entire free space or slightly loosen sensor nut
for pressure compensation.
Galvanic corrosion due to incorrectly se-
lected materials of the mounting parts.
On installing the sensor or thermowell, only
combine the same kind of materials (e.g.
stainless steel with stainless steel or copper
together with other copper materials).
2.2 Types2233, 2234, and
2235 (air sensor)
Types2233 and 2234 are designed for in-
stallation in air heaters, air ducts, drying
cabinets, etc. Install the sensor from the out-
side into the room and secure it with a spe-
cial clamp (accessories). The entire length of
the sensor must be immersed in the air ow
to be regulated.
For Type2234, install the set point adjust-
ment in an easily accessible location.
Avoid locations with considerable ambient
temperature uctuations.
Type2233 with perforated cover is general-
ly used for installation in manufacturing fa-
cilities, living spaces, baths, etc.
Installation recommendations
−Mount the sensor protected by a perfo-
rated cover to a suitable location, if pos-
sible in the middle of the wall.
−Type2234 with clamps (or perforated
cover) is suitable for installation in dry-
ing chambers, dryers, air heaters, incu-
bators, etc. In case of forced air circula-
tion, install the sensor near the supply air
inlet. Mount the set point adjustment out-
side the room to be controlled in an easi-
ly accessible location. The set point ad-
justment must be exposed to a tempera-
ture that is as constant as possible.
−Type2235 is equipped with a tempera-
ture sensor to be calibrated on site. This
allows the measurement of almost all
temperature layers. Make sure the set
point adjustment for this sensor is in-
stalled outside the room to be controlled
in an easily accessible location. Avoid
locations with considerable ambient tem-
perature uctuations.
−When regulating the temperature in
greenhouses, make sure that the thermo-
stat and set point adjuster are not ex-
posed to direct sunlight. When the tem-
perature regulating system is shut down
during the summer, adjust a high set
point to protect the thermostat.
2.3 Capillary tube
ÎCarefully run the capillary tube (11)
without bending or twisting it and do not
expose to any temperature uctuations, if
possible.

EB 2231 EN 7
Operation
Risk of malfunction due to capillary tube
damage.
−Do not damage or shorten the capillary
tube.
−Roll up excess tube to form a ring (smallest
bending radius = 50mm).
2.4 Operating element
ÎAttach the operating element (8) to the
valve body or double adapter using the
coupling nut (7).
3 Operation
3.1 Adjusting the set point
Only use the key (12) to adjust the required
temperature set point at the set point dial
(13).
ÎSlowly turn the key clockwise to increase
the temperature and counterclockwise to
reduce it.
ÎRead off the temperature at the reference
thermometer of the plant and readjust
with key, if necessary.
Higher set point temperatures can be adjust-
ed in increments as required. However, to
lower the set point temperature, proceed in
steps of 10 to 20°C. When doing so, wait
for the process medium to cool down before
continuing (watch the thermometer).
3.2 Correcting the set point
dial
Due to special conditions on site, the tem-
perature adjusted at the set point dial might
not be the same as the reading at the refer-
ence thermometer. If this is the case, proceed
as follows:
ÎUndo the screw labeled "Korrektur" on
the back of the dial housing.
ÎTurn the entire dial housing until the dial
shows the same temperature as the refer-
ence thermometer.
ÎTurn clockwise to increase the set point
and counterclockwise to reduce it
(viewed from the front with the dial hous-
ing on top).
ÎA 360° turn corresponds to a set point
change of approx. 1.5°C.
