# Electromechanical Temperature Controller for Panel Mounting (with Bimetallic Compensation)<\/p>\n
The robust electromechanical thermostat from Leitenberger Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH is specifically designed for front panel mounting and stands out in the market with its extraordinary reliability and precision. Equipped with a bimetal compensation system, the regulator ensures precise temperature control, ideally applicable in numerous industrial processes. The \u201eMade in Germany\u201d quality guarantees durability and measurement accuracy.<\/p>\n
This device belongs to the Leitenberger remote sensing thermostat product family (item no. 04.16), which meets the highest quality requirements in accordance with the DIN EN ISO 9001 certificate.<\/p>\n
## Main Features and Advantages<\/p>\n
This electromechanical regulator is an excellent choice for applications requiring reliable, mechanically based temperature control with minimal maintenance requirements.<\/p>\n
* **Robust Design:** The device housing is made of galvanized sheet steel, and the front panel is made of transparent glass, ensuring a long service life and mechanical resistance.
\n* **High-Precision Measuring System:** It uses a dual Bourdon tube spring measuring system, complemented by temperature compensation, which guarantees stable and precise measurement over a wide temperature range.
\n* **Versatile Temperature Range:** The measuring range can be flexibly adjusted according to customer requirements, with a scale ranging from **-80\u00b0C up to +380\u00b0C**.
\n* **Simple Installation:** The device can be easily mounted from the rear using the installation frame (clamping bracket), enabling quick and secure installation.
\n* **Adjustable Switching Point:** It features a single-pole changeover contact that can be set within the entire measuring range, which switches with a pre-set hysteresis upon falling or rising temperature.<\/p>\n
## Technical Data<\/p>\n

## Functionality and Adjustment Options<\/p>\n
The basic function of the device is temperature measurement and electrical switching upon reaching a preset value.<\/p>\n
### Switching Functions
\nThe built-in single-pole changeover contact enables control of heating or cooling systems. The switching point can be freely positioned within the entire measuring range. The hysteresis (approx. \u00b12% of the measuring range) ensures that switching does not occur too frequently, thereby protecting the controlled equipment. Switching can occur in case of falling or rising temperature, depending on the setting.<\/p>\n
### Optional Extensions
\nThe standard version can be expanded with several accessory options to meet specific environmental or operating requirements:<\/p>\n
1. **Increased Protection:** The device's protection class can be raised to **IP 55** using an optional cover cap, making it more resistant to dust and splash water environmental effects.
\n2. **Switching Point Adjustment:** The adjustment mechanism can be comfortably operated with a standard screwdriver, or a special key is available upon request.
\n3. **Fixed Switching Point:** An optional version is available where the maximum adjustable value is fixed and cannot be adjusted (Fixed switching point or stop for the maximum set value, without adjustment option). This is ideal for systems where safety settings must not be changed.<\/p>\n
## Recommendations and Application Notes<\/p>\n
Leitenberger recommends the following for maximum reliability:<\/p>\n
* **Overvoltage Protection:** For switching overvoltages occurring when switching inductive loads, the use of an **RC element** is recommended to suppress sparking.
\n* **Contact Protection:** Inductive loads should generally only be switched via suitable **contact protection relays** to prevent premature wear of the contacts.<\/p>\n
