Watlow’s family of microprocessor-based limit controllers

provides an economical solution for applications requiring

temperature limit control. Limits are available in a broad

range of packaging options, allowing selection of the best

version for an application. Limits are available with an

operator interface and can be ordered in 1/8 DIN-square

panel mount or DIN-rail mount design configurations.

The SERIES LV limit family incorporates a microprocessor

design platform. This design provides

significant

improvements in the performance, repeatability and

accuracy offered by Watlow’s current line of analog

limit controllers.

The variable SERIES LV limit includes an operator

interface for viewing and selecting the set point. A red,

four-character seven segment LED displays the set point.

Set point selection is made with a continuous turn rotary

encoder. Operating range temperature values are

customer defined in the product configuration

part number.

The limit controllers are factory mutual (FM) approved with

special UL® approval for the open board potted versions.

Watlow’s limit controllers include industry leading service

and support and are protected by a three-year warranty.
