Ashcroft EL - Industrial Bimetal Thermometer - Manual (Page 2)

CAUTION: To assure longest life, the “EVERY- ANGLE”
joint should be operated only when necessary during
installation or removal of the thermometer.
POSITIONING THE STEM
Before installation, the stem should be set to the
desired angle as follows:
Figure 1: Loosen the four screws labeled “A” and “B” in
Figure 1, until the harness revolves freely without twist-
ing the flexible housing.
Figure 2: While holding the case, revolve the harness
clockwise or counterclockwise, as indicated by arrows
in Figure 2, to place the harness in a position that will
permit flexing the stem in the desired direction with
respect to the case. Then lock the two screws labeled “A.”
Figure 3: Flex the stem to the desired angle with
respect to the face of the thermometer, as shown in
Figure 3, then lock the two screws labeled “B.”
INSTALLATION
The lower 2˝ of the stem is the sensitive portion. Be
sure this part of the stem is exposed to the temperature
to be measured.
Tighten the thermometer to the apparatus or into the
thermometer well, using an open-end wrench applied to
the hexagon head of the connection bushing. Turn until
reasonably tight, then tighten further (in the same man-
ner as a pipe fitting) until the scale is in the desired
position for reading.
DO NOT TIGHTEN BY TURNING THE THERMOME-
TER CASE OR THE HARNESS. INSTALL THE DRY
TYPE EVERYANGLE THERMOMETER SO THAT
THE MAXIMUM CASE TEMPERATURE IS KEPT
BELOW 200°F. INSTALL THE LIQUID-FILLED TYPE
EVERYANGLE THERMOMETER, SO THAT THE
MAXIMUM CASE TEMPERATURE IS KEPT BELOW
150°F.
THERMOMETER WELLS
When the thermometer is equipped with a well, the well
should first be removed from the ther mometer and
screwed into the apparatus.
This thermometer was designed to be positioned to face the direction of easiest reading.
