The Watlow Series 142 Safety Limit is a compact,
environmentally protected safety limit or temperature
controller. The limit has a single thermocouple input and
is available in several common ranges.
The Series 142 Safety Limit has a single mechanical
relay output, and operates as a high limit, latching control
with manual and/or auto-power reset. Fixed set points are
available.
The Series 142 Safety Limit controller is ideally
suited for limit applications requiring tamper-proof opera-
tion, agency approvals and immunity to hostile environ-
ments.
• The factory-fixed set point cannot be altered by operator
action or neglect.
• Agency approvals ensure compliance with recognized
standards.
• Epoxy potting makes the Series 142 resistant to envi-
ronments with vibration or humid/corrosive conditions.
Compact size and sub-panel mounting make the
Series 142 readily adaptable to many applications. Its
single, factory-fixed set point thermocouple input and
Form C, 3 amp electromechanical relay output provides
simplicity and reliability for many applications. Sensor
break protection ensures fail-safe process shut down upon
input failure.
