Type 1 Bracket
This bracket commonly referred to as
the “L” bracket, is typically used on Jar
terminals where the sensor must stand
up from the jar. An example is the
vertical blade type terminal where the
bolt is parallel to the top of the Jar.
The maximum bolt size for the terminal and bracket is 5/16 inch.
Type 2 Bracket
This bracket, commonly referred to as the “Z” bracket, is
typically used jars that are connected together with straps.
It is also used when the jar cables are secured by bolts
that extend into the jar. The maximum bolt size for the
terminal and bracket is 5/16 inch.
Type 3 Bracket
This bracket, commonly referred to as the “Front
Mount” bracket, is used front terminal Jars. While
specifically designed for the Marathon, the bracket
will fit most front terminal Jars. This bracket was
designed for a M6 (6 mm) bolt.
Type 4 Bracket
This bracket is not a bracket at all
but a sensor with two wire
connections. This is the universal
sensor that will work with most
jars. The maximum bolt size for
the terminals is 5/16 inch. The
one disadvantage of this sensor is
that it does not directly measure
the jar post (electrolyte)
temperature like the bracketed sensors. When the sensor is mounted to the top of the jar, and
not in the direct cooling air flow, the sensor will read the approximate jar case temperature. The
sensor is equipped with a self adhesive industrial velcro strip for fastening the sensor to the jar.
Type 5 Bracket
This bracket is similar to the Type 2 bracket but is designed for a larger bolt. The maximum bolt
size for the terminal and bracket is ½ inch or M12 (12mm). Because of the higher torque
required for the larger bolt this bracket has a round hole rather than a slot. This prevents
distorting the bracket when tightening the bolt.
Contact PBT if none of these brackets fit your requirements.
