Watchman Temperature Trips

These over-temperature trips are safety devices designed to protect kilns from over-firing.  They behave as a re-settable heat fuse.  16 switch-selectable trip temperatures are available.  Thermocouple types K,N,R & S are jumper-selectable.

ST008

The SPS8i is an independent over-temperature trip module designed solely for internal fitment to the SPS5 range of controllers.  It is an optional safety device designed to protect kilns from over-firing.  It behaves like a re-settable heat fuse.  Operation of the trip is indicated by an otherwise hidden 'FAULT' legend on the controller front panel Trip lamp SPS8i trip module

EMC Compatibility

This trip is designed for use mainly in Domestic & Light Industrial environments where electro-magnetic interference may cause a loss of accuracy of the trip temperature of up to 3°C.  Specified accuracy will be restored when the interference is removed.
