• A back-up unit is necessary for applications where damage to a primary unit
could endanger life, limb or property. A high or low limit switch is necessary
for applications where a dangerous runaway condition could result.
• The adjustable range must be selected so that incorrect, inadvertent or
malicious setting at any range point cannot result in an unsafe system con-

• Monitor operation to observe warning signs of possible damage to unit,
such as drift in set point or faulty display. Check unit immediately.
• Preventative maintenance and periodic testing is necessary for critical appli-
