Installing Thermowell Thermowell is recommended for high pressure applications or corrosive environments. It also allows tempera- ture sensor to be changed or adjusted without opening connection to process.
1.First screw the thermowell into the process (pipe line).
2.Pass the sensing bulb through the nut and ferrule.
3.Fully insert the sensing bulb into the thermowell housing and secure it with the compression nut.
NOTE: The use of temperature trans- mitter grease or silicon grease on the tip of the sensing bulb is recommended to facilitate heat transfer to sensing bulb junction.
LIMIT CONTACTS / INDICATION POINTER ADJUSTMENTS
Limit Contact Adjustments
Facing the dial, left side knob is “Low limit” contact. Right side is “High limit” contact.
Indication Pointer Adjustments To reset to zero or to a known value proceed as follows:

Turn to lower
NOTE: the 45TE Series features a stacked limit indicator knob with both limit adjust- ments included. The bottom half knob adjusts the “Low” limit indicator, the top half is to adjust the “High” limit indicator.
To set limit contact, turn the knob to the desired point on the scale.

OPERATION TEST INSTRUCTIONS
SPLC and SPLFC Series
1.Perform operation test after the unit is installed and wired appro- priately (see Typical Electrical Diagrams on page 4).
2.When temperature is applied to the sensing bulb the pointer will trav- el in a clockwise direction. (Adjust contacts to desired set points.)
3.Place the toggle switch (SPLC Series only) in the “start”position or otherwise override low contact. After the indication pointer rises past the low limit contact, return the toggle switch to the “run”position.
4.To test the limit contacts, turn the limit contact to be tested until it touches the pointer. That will trip the control circuit.
5.Reset the shutdown or alarm circuit device.
45TE Series
1.Perform steps 1 and 2 in the SPLC Operation Test Instructions.
2.To test the switches, turn the limit indicator until it touches the pointer, then continue to rotate until the
3.Reset the shutdown or alarm circuit device.
