1 APPLICATION  
Monitors the surface temperature on housings, machinery,  
vessels, castings, containers, electrical equipment, pumps,  
gearboxes and pipes, etc.  
2 PRINCIPLEOFOPERATION  
The TX2010 Surface Thermostat incorporates a bimetallic  
element which operates ‘snap action’ contacts.  
The contacts are normally closed and open on a rising  
temperature. The operating point is adjustable over the  
specified temperature range.  
3 INSTALLATION  
1. The thermostat can be mounted in position by fixing screws, using the  
mounting feet provided on the side of the housing. Care should be taken not to  
over-tighten the screws. It is only necessary to ensure a good seating on the  
base gasket to provide an air tight seal around the copper contact pad.  
The application of heat conductive grease to the contact pad will assist thermal  
transfer.  
2. A fast curing adhesive can be used for securing the thermostat to the surface to  
be monitored (the mounting feet may be removed if the thermostat is being  
installed in a confined position).  
The bottom sealing gasket should be removed and the adhesive applied to the  
complete underside including the copper contact pad to a thickness of about  
2 – 3mm. Apply the thermostat to the surface to be monitored and retain in  
position for approximately 10 minutes to allow the adhesive to cure.  
Full hardening is complete in about 4 hours.  
3. Each thermostat is individually calibrated in our factory before delivery.  
The dial setting will indicate the switching point of the thermostat element, but  
the relationship between the dial setting and the actual temperature of the  
medium being monitored will be affected by individual variations in thermal  
transfer characteristics on each installation.  
We recommend the following setting procedure:-  
(a) Install the Surface Thermostat in position.  
(b) Allow its temperature to equalise to the normal running temperature of  
the installation.  
(c) Turn the setting knob to the point where the contacts just open, then  
turn it back approximately half a division on the dial.  
(This gives an operating temperature margin of about 5°C.)
