equipment.

In order to exclude impermissible temperatures and thus overload of the insulation system, the

following cautions must additionally be observed:

switches, may be used. It is mandatory to observe the set values specified for the motor protection

switches. Any temperature- sensitive protective devices such as temperature switches and

temperature sensors must be connected in accordance with the installation instructions.

especially in the event of overload. Depending on the temperature class and type of loading,

these may attain values of up to 260 °C and may also affect adjacent components which have

been packed too densely.

arranged vertically and that the current of cooling air is not impeded by adjacent components,

connecting leads etc.

Noncompliance with these instructions may lead to considerable damage to equipment or fire due

to impermissibly high temperatures.

the maximum operation temperature for the reactor is reached. Note: This switch is a warning

device only. It will not disconnect the reactor. Overheating may lead to failure of the device and

subsequently to severe damage to the equipment and/or serious injury or death of human beings.
