Dimensional Drawings: Provides detailed dimensions for pressure and temperature models, including specific types like H54, J54, B54, and others.
Recommended Practices and Warnings:
  • Careful consideration is advised when specifying and installing UE pressure and temperature units. Installation and Maintenance instructions must be read and understood before installation.
  • Proof pressure and maximum temperature limits must not be exceeded to avoid damage. Continuous operation should be within the designated adjustable range.
  • A backup unit is necessary for applications where primary unit damage could endanger life or property. High or low limit switches are recommended for preventing dangerous conditions.
  • The adjustable range should be selected to prevent unsafe conditions from incorrect settings.
  • Units should be installed in environments free from shock, vibration, and temperature fluctuations. Moisture entry through electrical connections should be prevented.
  • Units must not be altered post-shipment without consulting UE.
  • Monitor for warning signs of damage, such as drift in set point or faulty display, and check units immediately.
  • Preventative maintenance and periodic testing are necessary for critical applications.
  • Electrical ratings must not be exceeded, and wiring should comply with local and national codes.
  • Units should not be mounted in ambient temperatures exceeding published limits.
Limited Warranty:
  • The product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship upon delivery. Defective products will be repaired or replaced within 24 months from the date of manufacture.
