Sensing bulb
The temperature element of the model TS-972 instruments are fitted with gas filled thermal
system and suitable for Air, Gas, Water, Steam, Oil, etc.The primary sensing element is
the bulb and the secondary sensing element is a hydraulically formed seamless Phosphor
Bronze Bellows fixed external to the switch housing. Change in temperature which is
sensed by the bulb results in a change in system temperature and this is communicated
through an Armoured capillary to the secondary element (Bellows) which responds to this
change and actuates the mechanism.
2.3 Terms used
Maximum operating temperature
The maximum static temperature with which the instrument can be used without changing
the assured performance data.
Reset point
The temperature value at which the switch returns to the starting position. Mathematically,
the temperature value for the reset point is equal to the temperature value of the switch
point
minus the switch differential on rising temperature. On falling temperature, the temperature
value
for the reset point is equal to the temperature value of the switch point plus the switch
differential.
Switch differential
The switch differential is the difference between the switch point and the reset point.
This is also known as the switch hysteresis.

5.1 Requirements at the measuring point
■The process temperature must never exceed the specified maximum operating
temperature.
■The ambient and medium temperatures must never be outside the permissible
operating conditions (see chapter 9 “Specifications”). The temperature at the
instrument case must not exceed the value of 60°C. The limit values at the instrument
must be fulfilled by taking appropriate measures, e.g. by mounting with a distance from
large hot surfaces or vessels; if required, by extending the connection with a pipeline
or by providing it with thermal insulation.
■Protected from weather influences.
■Any vibrations or shocks which occur must not exceed accelerations of
1 g (9.81 m/s2) within a frequency range of 10 ... 150 Hz.
■The measuring line and the process connection must be designed such that no
mechanical loads can occur on the instrument in the entire permissible ambient and
medium temperature ranges.
■Sealing faces are clean and undamaged.
■Maintain clearance for blow-out device of > 20 mm.
■Sufficient space for a safe electrical installation.
→ For performance limits see chapter 9 “Specifications”
5.2 Mechanical mounting
■After unpacking the instrument, a visual inspection for damage must be carried out.
■Mounting is only permitted in the detemporised state. Reliably detemporise the
instrument using the available valves and protective devices.
■Use seals suitable for the process connection provided.
■When screwing the instruments in, the force required for sealing must not be applied
through the case, but only through the spanner flats provided for this purpose on the
process connection, and using a suitable tool.The tightening torque is dependent on
the selected process connection.
■After screwing in, make sure that no damage or cracks have occurred at the process
connection.

5.3 Electrical mounting and integration into the installation
The connection cable must provide basic insulation for external circuits of protection
class I. The instrument must be able to be switched off completely by means of a switch
or a control unit. Depending on the load, additional protective measures, e.g. for motor
protection, may be required
DANGER!
Danger to life caused by electric current
Upon contact with live parts, there is a direct danger to life.
▶The instrument may only be installed and mounted by skilled personnel.
▶Switch off the load circuit before starting work and secure against being
switched on unauthorised
Cable preparation
Provide strain relief for the installed cables (e.g. integrated in cable gland).The cable
gland(s) used must be suitable for achieving an IP66 ingress protection. Size the
connecting cables for the largest current strength in the circuits and ensure sufficient UV
resistance and mechanical stability.
Recommendation: 4-wire cable with conductor cross-section of 0.5 ... 2.5 mm²
(AWG 20 ... 14). Fit wire ends with end splices. Conductor cross-section for end splices
with plastic sleeve ≤ 1.0 mm² and for end splices without plastic sleeve ≤ 1.5 mm².
Carry out the terminal assignment according to the switching function tightening
torque: 0.7 ... 0.5 N/m approx.
Grounding
Include the ground connection in the inside of the instrument into the grounding concept
of the installation. Maximum conductor cross-section 4 mm²
Clamping the cable
5.4 Switch point setting
For an exact setting of the switch point, a test assembly with temperature generation and
temperature reference is needed. This test assembly can, for example, be realised with a
suitable temperature bath with 0.25 % °C accuracy master gauge as shown in picture

1. Connect the model TS-972 temperature switch, temperature reference and
temperature generation to a common temperature system.
2. Ensure that the switch point setting does not switch any loads on or off by mistake. For
visualisation of the switching function, an equivalent circuit, e.g. with a light bulb, is
recommended.
3. Setting of the switch points
- Temperature switches are normally set at factory for “Falling Temperature” unless
specified otherwise.
- Switching point should preferably lie in mid 50% of the adjustable range span.
- Markings provided on the range scale are for approximate setting only. Use a
master Temperature Gauge to set switching points precisely.
- Remove locking device to unlock range adjuster.
- By turning the Range Adjuster in Anti-clockwise/ Clockwise the set point can
be raised / lowered respectively. The switching point can be set, for fall or rise in
Temperature.
4. After setting, refix the locking device back in position to prevent unauthorised
adjustment of the setpoint.
For instruments with adjustable switch differential directly in the connection, follow the
instructions in the next chapter

5.5 Setting of the switch differential
The handling instructions described here cannot be carried out on instrument versions
with fixed switch differential.
Before setting the switch differential, the handling steps in chapter 5.4 “Switch point
setting” must be carried out.
5. Release/build up the temperature slowly and check the reset point. By rotate range settting
screw anticlock wise to increase the reset point @ desired value on falling temperature.
To increase the dead band by rotate the allen key anti clock wise, switch point alone
increase on rising temperature.
After correcting the switch differential, the switch point must be re-checked.
6. If the switch point and the reset point coincide with the required temperature values,
the switch point and switch differential setting is complete, after setting lock end cap.
7. Close the cover again and fix it with the 4 supplied screws,

5.6 Commissioning
■Check that the following torques for screw connections are maintained:
- Clamping screws and screw for locking plate: Approx. 0.6 Nm
- Case screws: Approx. 1.25 ... 1.5 Nm
■The instruments are designed for vertical mounting. The sensing bulb should be fully
immersed in the process media.
- The connected electrical load should not exceed declared Voltage & Current rating.
- Theprocesstemperatureshouldneverexceedtheclaimedmaximumworkingtemperature.
Thesensing elementwill getpermanently damagediftemperature exceedsEVEN ONCE.
- Thermowell is a must for non compatible media.
■The instrument must not be subjected to any external loading (e.g. use as a climbing
aid, support for objects)
Caution:
▶Do not handle the instrument by it’s capillary system.
▶Do not bend sharp at the bulb or at instrument end
▶The Instrument should be mounted suitably so as to avoid excessive heat transfer from
the process lines or adjacent plant.
▶In humid environment where the ambient temperature is sub zero, precautions should
be taken to prevent ice formation within the instruments from the jamming the mecha-
nism.
▶Avoid temperature shocks
For pressurized application, where line pressure is more than 1 bar, or, when temperature
is higher than boiling point, thermowell is recommended to be used.
