Disclaimer of Warranty
This document is a presentation of a general overview and statement of the safety-related need for and method of applying
over/undertemperature protection. Because of the diversity of conditions and hazards under which control products may be
applied and because of the differences in components and methods of their installation, no representation or warranty
of any kind, express or implied, is hereby made, that the limit control protection discussed and presented herein will be
effective in any particular application or set of circumstances, or that additional or different precautions will not be reasonably
necessary for a particular application. We will be pleased to consult with any customer regarding a specific application upon

Failure of components in a temperature control loop, such as the sensor, heater control relay,
or main temperature control, can result in damage to a product in process, a meltdown of a
heater, and/or a damaging fire.
To protect against this possibility, over/undertemperature protection must be provided to
interrupt or remove power from the heater circuit. A thermal fuse line at the heater, or a
mechanical thermoswitch at the heater are examples of recommended over/under temperature
protection. For precise, repeatable limit protection, an electronic limit control may be used.
We recommend the temperature protection device have UL, CSA, or FM approval, and be
applied in the classification for which it was tested and approved. An example of a single phase
wiring line diagram appears below.
WARNING
Install high or low temperature control protection in systems where an overtemperature
or undertemperature fault condition could present a fire hazard or other hazard. Failure
to install temperature control protection where a potential hazard exists could result in
damage to equipment and property, and injury to personnel.
