Application

The contact system type KN can be used for alarm functions or simple actuating controls. The contact is simply set at the customer defined value where the contact function is required.

With a few exceptions TEMPRESS’ dry pressure gauges and thermometers can be delivered with one, two or three built-in contacts type KN.

The contact is made without a blank-holder magnet to avoid contact hysteresis and obtain optimum contact function. The optimum contact function also depends on power, load and contact material.

The contact pins are standard in silver (KNS) but can also be supplied in gold (KNG) – e.g. for low voltages such as 24VDC.

Contact type KN is well-suited where the processing value changes quickly. This type should not be used in processes with vibrations or transients as these will cause undesired contact operations.
