FM Approved Limit Controllers

FM approved limit controllers are ideal for ovens, furnaces and kilns configurable either as high or low limit controllers, and universal input, timer for exceeded duration and register for maximum temperature are standard functions.

FM approved limit controllers will shut down the process by disconnecting power from the process if the controller reads a value above setvalue for a high limit controller or below set point if configured as a low limit control.

These FM approved limit controllers will remain in this state until the temperature has dropped below the set value and the reset button has been pressed. The control also has a timer to indicate the total time the setpoint is exceeded i.e. (duration of over temperature) it also has a register that will indicate the maximum temperature reached. Field programmable Low/High process alarms and deviation alarms or band alarms are an option.
