Use protective devices to prevent hazardous conditions and/or damage to the
TCA and secondary equipment (refer to connection diagram). Protective devices
should be placed at all points on the TCA and secondary equipment where a
hazardous condition can be detected. NOTE: Unless noted in the product
specifications, protective devices are not included.
Protective devices should de-energize the TCA and, as necessary, related
secondary equipment. It is recommended that such devices require the user to
remove and correct the root cause of a fault before allowing the TCA and related
equipment to be re-energized.
!
Protective devices must operate independently of the primary temperature
control circuitry.
!
Some temperature controllers can detect under-temperature and over-
temperature conditions and can be configured to deenergize the TCA when such
a condition is detected. If a temperature controller is used to provide under-
temperature and/or over-temperature detection, it is recommended to monitor the
heat sink and, as necessary, the cold side (cold sink, cold plate, liquid heat
exchanger) for under-temperature and over-temperature conditions. However,
hazards and/or risk of loss or damage to the TCA and/or secondary equipment
could still occur if the temperature controller and/or sensors were to malfunction.
Therefore, independent, redundant protective devices are recommended in
addition to the safeguards provided by the temperature controller. For the
purposes of this manual temperature controllers are not considered protective
devices.

Protective devices should include, but are not limited to:
• Fuses to prevent against electrical overloads,
• Over/under temperature thermostats to prevent against hazardous and/or
damaging temperatures,
• Liquid flow meters to prevent against damage due to loss of coolant flow
