The Watlow Series 142 is a compact, environmentally
protected safety limit temperature controller. The limit
has a single thermocouple input and is available in several
common ranges.
The 142 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 operation,
agency approvals and immunity to hostile environments.
• 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.
