eo) 4344 Series Hermetically Sealed Thermostat + Snap-action switching pid thermal response + Single pole, single throw + Normally open or normally closed + Pre-set, non-adjustable calibration + Various mounting configurations available + UL recognized, fle #34618, see page 36 for details + CSA recognized, fle #LR24458, see page 36 for details Description ‘The Klixon 4844 precision therm- stat is constructed with a snap- acting bi-metal dise which serves as the actuating element, As the temperature reaches a predeter- ‘mined calibration point, the dise snaps to its reverse curvature producing the crisp, postive switching action inherent to Kilixon thermostats. This feature assures reliable, consistent operating temperature over long. ‘eyele life. The standard thermo- stat is copper-nickel plated with silver contacts. Other plating finishes are available upon request. Gold plated contacts can be furnished for the electrical loads listed in the following table to assure reliable circuit switch- ing under low wattage conditions. Gold plated contacts are not suitable for higher loads. Gold Contact Ratings (Resistive) {so vacioc [500 ma and below 115VAC | 200 mA and below za0 VAC | 100 mAand below ur most common mounting con- figurations are depicted. Many other varieties are available. Leads can be welded to pin type terminals to form an integral unit. ‘The switch can be custom pack- ‘aged into a probe, strap mount, or immersion thermostat. Consult the factory for special requests. Switching Action All thermostats are supplied with single pole, single throw switch- ing. The contacts ean be eon- structed as: Normally closed - limit type application; contacts open on temperature rise at a pre- determined temperature to de- energize the circuit. Contacts automatically re-close as the device cools to a pre-determined temperature. Normally open - fan type application; contacts close on temperature rise at a pre- determined temperature to energize the cireuit. Contacts automatically re-open as the device cools to a pre-determined temperature, ‘The opening and closing temper- atures are pre-set and non- adjustable.
