Product: E.G.O 56.10511.520 – Protective Temperature Limiter
Features & Benefits
-
Fixed cut-off safety protection: Automatically interrupts the circuit at 57 °C to prevent overheating.
-
Compact single-pole design: Suitable for smaller load or single-circuit heating setups.
-
Remote sensing via capillary: Offers flexibility in sensor placement, helpful when the limiter housing must be mounted away from the heat zone.
-
High reliability: Built by E.G.O, known for thermostats & safety limiters in industrial applications.
-
Easy retro-fit: Its fixed nature makes it suitable as a direct safety replacement in existing equipment requiring a 57 °C limit.
Typical Applications
-
Protective cut-off in heating plates, hot-plates or ovens where 57 °C is a critical safety limit.
-
Industrial or commercial heating where a failsafe over-temperature switch is required.
-
Environments where remote placement of the sensor is needed but a compact control housing is preferred.
-
Auxiliary safety device in systems that already have primary thermostat control and need a backup limiter.
Installation & Usage Tips
-
Mount the sensor probe in firm contact with the surface or medium whose temperature is to be monitored—ensuring no air gap or insulation layer.
-
When routing the capillary tube, avoid sharp bends or kinks; ensure no part of the tube is exposed to higher ambient temperatures than its specification.
-
Verify the load current and voltage of the connected circuit is compatible with the limiter’s rating.
-
Perform a functional test: raise the temperature gradually and confirm the circuit is cut off near 57 °C.
-
Ensure the limiter housing is mounted in a suitable location, protected from mechanical damage or corrosion.
Important Notes
-
This device is a fixed-cut-off limiter and not an adjustable thermostat — the temperature is factory set to 57 °C.
-
If your system requires adjustable temperature regulation, this model may not be suitable.
-
The cut-off point is moderate, so confirm your application needs this exact temperature.
-
For higher current or multi-circuit systems, use a contactor or relay for added safety.
Summary
The E.G.O 56.10511.520 is a reliable, single-pole protective temperature limiter that cuts off at 57 °C. Compact, accurate, and durable — it’s ideal for safety-critical heating applications that require dependable over-temperature protection.
