Thermo Ramsey 20-39HT

High-Temperature Tilt Switch Probe

The Thermo Ramsey 20-39HT tilt switch, also known by other codes such as 2039-HT, 20-39-HT, or 2039HT, is a specialized device designed for high-temperature applications. This robust tilt switch is constructed with cast iron and features a mercury-filled bulb, making it suitable for environments where extreme temperatures are a factor. Its normally closed dry contact configuration ensures reliable operation in various industrial settings.

Key Features

  1. High-Temperature Resistance: The 20-39HT is specifically designed to function in high-temperature environments. Its durable cast iron construction and mercury tilt switch allow it to withstand temperatures that would damage ordinary tilt switches.
  2. Mercury-Filled Bulb: The mercury-filled bulb within the switch provides accurate and reliable tilt detection. Mercury is chosen for its consistent performance and reliability in harsh conditions.
  3. Normally Closed Dry Contact: This tilt switch operates with a normally closed dry contact, meaning the circuit remains closed (allowing current to pass through) until the switch detects a tilt, at which point the circuit opens.
  4. Durability: The cast iron housing provides excellent durability, protecting the internal components from physical damage and environmental factors such as dust and moisture.

Applications

The Thermo Ramsey 20-39HT tilt switch is ideal for a variety of industrial applications, particularly where high temperatures are encountered. Common applications include:

  • Material Handling: Monitoring and controlling the tilt angle of conveyor systems and other material handling equipment.
  • Heavy Machinery: Ensuring the proper operation of machinery used in high-temperature processes, such as kilns and furnaces.
  • Bulk Material Processing: Used in industries such as mining, cement, and chemicals where equipment operates in high-heat conditions.
  • Safety Systems: Integrated into safety systems to detect and respond to equipment malfunctions due to tilting, preventing accidents and damage.

Installation and Maintenance

Installing the 20-39HT tilt switch involves securing it in place on the equipment being monitored. Due to its robust construction, the switch requires minimal maintenance. However, regular inspections are recommended to ensure it remains free of physical damage and that the mercury bulb is intact.

  1. Mounting: Secure the switch in a stable position on the equipment.
  2. Wiring: Connect the switch to the control system, ensuring the normally closed configuration is correctly wired.
  3. Testing: After installation, test the switch by manually tilting it to verify that the contact opens and closes as expected.

Safety Considerations

  • Mercury Handling: Mercury is a hazardous material. If the mercury bulb is damaged, proper handling and disposal procedures must be followed to prevent environmental contamination and health risks.
  • Temperature Limits: Ensure the operating environment does not exceed the specified temperature limits of the switch to maintain reliable performance.

The Thermo Ramsey 20-39HT tilt switch is an essential component for high-temperature industrial applications. Its robust construction, reliable mercury-filled bulb, and normally closed dry contact configuration make it a dependable choice for monitoring and controlling equipment tilt in challenging environments. Proper installation and regular maintenance will ensure long-term, trouble-free operation.
