DEFINITION OF TERMS
• Automatic Reset: A type of thermostat that will automatically reset at a specific temperature (i.e. a thermostat operates at
o o o o
65,5 C [150 F] and resets at 48,89 C [120 F]).
• Bimetal: Two dissimilar metals bonded together to form the material for manufacturing thermally-sensitive discs which actuate
the thermostat.
• Close on Rise (COR): Refers to operation of the contacts. When the temperature rises to its set point, the contacts close or
make contact and complete the circuit.
• Contact Resistance: The value of resistance measured between the terminals.
• Dielectric Strength: The value of insulation between two electrically conducting parts. It may be tested by the application of a
predetermined overvoltage for a specified time.
• Differential: The temperature difference between the operate and reset set points, also known as operate and reset.
- Nominal: The temperature difference between nominal set points regardless of tolerance.
- Maximum: Maximum number of degrees between actual opening and closing set points.
- Minimum: Minimum number of degrees between actual opening and closing set points.
• Exposure Temperature: Thermal environment of a device during application operation.
• FLA (Full Load Amps): Current taken from the line by the motor when the motor is yielding the rated hp at the rated voltage
and frequency.
• Life Cycles: The endurance rating of the thermostat expressed in number of operations with stated electrical load applied.
Temperature limit application = open on rise.
• LRA (Locked Rotor Amps): The amount of current the motor can be expected to draw under starting conditions when full
voltage is applied, also known as starting inrush current.
• Manual Reset: A bimetal thermostat with a reset button that must be pressed to reset the contacts.
• Open on Rise (OOR): Refers to the operation of contacts. When the temperature rises to its set point the contacts open,
terminating the circuit.
• Overmold: Encapsulation with an insulating material.
• Phenolic: Thermoset plastic used for the insulating body of the thermostat.
• Set Point: The nominal temperature at which the thermostat operates.
• SPST (Single Pole/Single Throw): A switch with one current path which can be either open or closed.
• Tolerance: The allowable range above and below the set point temperature.
• Operate: Change of state when the thermostat reaches its set point.
• Reset: Change of state when the thermostat returns to its original condition prior to operation.

NOTES
• Standard Temperature Characteristics Tables:
- Temperatures: Please consult applications engineering for temperature ranges, tolerances and differentials not noted.
The operating temperature ranges include tolerances.
- Tolerances: The ± tolerances given have been established after review of many thermostat applications. Attempts should
be made to establish the widest acceptable tolerance possible.
• UL and CSA Approvals: 12,7 mm [0.5 in] thermostats are available with multiple agency approval for incorporation into
equipment.
• Fan control applications: Require thermostat set points to be derated by 20 °C from the equivalent temperature limit
application. They also close on rise.
• Dimensions: Are for reference only and are given in mm [in].

snap-acting, non-adjustable thermostat designed for easy
mounting in devices such as fire alarms, security devices Potential applications:
and smoke detectors. A temperature-sensitive bimetal disc, • Smoke alarm/heat detectors in industrial, residential and
electrically and thermally isolated from the switch, is used to commercial
actuate the normally-closed contacts. Contacts open when
surface or ambient temperatures increase to the operating
set point of the calibrated bimetal disc. Devices are UL
recognized and designed for use in both photoelectric and
ionization type smoke detectors. Thermostats are available
with and without collectors and meet UL spacing
requirements for 15 ft, 30 ft and 50 ft. They are available to
° °
open or close on a temperature rise of 47 C [117 F] to
° °
107 C [225 F]. Devices feature gold contacts for low
voltage requirements and are epoxy sealed at the cap and
terminal for long storage life of the application. Collectors
are available in silver, black, beige, gold or bronze finishes.

NOTICE
Final approval of a fire detection system is determined by UL as outlined in UL #521 and UL #217 for the suitability of the
combination of the thermostat (2450A/2455RA) and the user’s mounting base, together with its intended application of the total
fire detection system. To assist the use with design and testing , a minimum of 0.25 in extension beyond the housing is
recommended.

The 2450R/2455R/2450RC/2455RC/2450HR/2450RCH All versions are UL/CSA approved and European approved.
Series “One Shot” is a single pole, single throw, snap-
acting, non-adjustable thermostat designed as a high limit Potential applications include:
device for applications where automatically resettable • Power supplies
thermostats are not desirable. A temperature-sensitive • Appliances
bimetal disc, electrically and thermally isolated from the
switch, is used to actuate the normally-closed contacts. • Medical equipment
Contacts open when surface or ambient temperatures • Water heaters
increase to the operating set point of the calibrated bimetal • Office automation
disc. The entire switch is enclosed in a housing; the bimetal • Industrial equipment
disc is retained by a metal heat-conducting end cap. The
circuit remains open above the room ambient temperature • HVAC equipment
and will reset below -35 °C [-31 °F]. For increased
sensitivity, an exposed disc may be specified. A variety of
mounting brackets and terminals is available.
