This detailed product description refers to the illuminated, front panel mounted automotive thermometer without bimetallic compensation, offered by Leitenberger MRT, which is ideal for precise temperature measurement in applications where ambient temperature fluctuations do not significantly affect the measurement, or where the installation location necessitates this type. The product is manufactured under the sign of German quality and reliability.
This thermometer is excellently suited for integration into instrument panels or control panels. The U-bracket mounting ensures a stable and secure installation, while the hátsó beállítási lehetőség facilitates fine-tuning of accuracy after installation. The lack of bimetallic compensation offers unique advantages in certain measuring environments where standard bimetallic solutions are not ideal.
The outstanding accuracy of the device, with an error margin of ± 2 %, guarantees a reliable reading. The integrated illumination (with bulb, 12/24 V DC voltage) allows for precise reading of temperature data at night or in poor lighting conditions, which is essential in systems requiring continuous monitoring.
For durability and long service life, the thermometer is built from carefully selected materials:
Housing: Made from corrosion-protected steel sheet, which resists frequent mechanical stress and moisture typical in the automotive environment.
Window: High-quality glass ensures a clear and undistorted reading.
Front Ring: Chrome-plated design, which lends an elegant appearance to the instrument panel and resists abrasion.
Scale (Dial): Available with either a white or black background to optimally match the design of existing instruments.
Illumination: The socket is equipped with a standard bulb (12 V / 24 V DC), which provides the necessary light intensity for illuminating the display.
The thermometer is available in two main types, with different dimensions, to meet various installation requirements. The table below details the critical physical parameters:
| Típus | a (Mounting Dimension) | b (Housing Diameter) | c (Mounting Hole Depth) | d (Total Diameter) | D (Mounting Diameter) | e (Housing Height) | h (Ring Height) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1052 KB/LF | 30 mm | 50 mm | 4 mm | 52 mm | 56 mm | 16 mm | 20 mm |
| 1060 KB/LF | 30 mm | 50 mm | 4 mm | 60 mm | 64 mm | 16 mm | 20 mm |
Note: The designation „KB/LF” likely refers to the capillary type and length, which must be specified during the ordering process.
This robust thermometer is an ideal choice for monitoring the following areas:
Automotive Industry: Supervision of motors, hydraulic systems, or other units requiring critical temperature monitoring.
Industrial Measuring Technology: Machines and equipment where bimetallic compensation is not desired, and a reliable, illuminated display is essential.
Refrigeration technology: Although the product is classified in the „Automotive” category, due to its mechanical construction, it may also be suitable for monitoring the temperature of stationary cooling systems.
The Leitenberger MRT range allows for complete customization of the thermometer according to the measuring task. Users often select the following accessories to build the complete system:
The length and material of the capillary are critical for measurement accuracy and protection against environmental effects.
Stainless Steel (V-Stahl – Naked): Excellent mechanical strength and heat resistance.
Copper (Cooper – Single Braided): Good flexibility and heat transfer.
Copper (Double Copper Braided): Increased mechanical protection for the copper wiring.
Copper (PVC Coated): Additional protection against corrosion and external damage.
The type of probe determines how the thermometer contacts the measured medium. Different types offer various installation methods and heat transfer efficiencies:
Type 1 (1a, 1b, 1c): General-purpose probes.
Type 2 (2a, 2b, 2c): Sensors with a special design.
Type 3 (3a, 3b, 3c): Options with various fastening possibilities.
Type 4 (4a, 4b, 4c): Options that provide a larger heat transfer surface.
Type 5 (5a, 5b, 5c): Sensors with custom geometry.
Type 6 (6a): Special version.
Type 7 (7c, 7.1): Further variations for installation requirements.
The product bears the „Made in Germany” quality seal, reflecting Leitenberger MRT's commitment to precision measurement technology. Strict quality control procedures ensure that every front-panel thermometer meets the highest industrial requirements. The design without bimetallic compensation, the robust housing, and the precise optics guarantee long-term, error-free operation even in the most demanding automotive and industrial environments.
