The Stationary Sensor is one of the most versatile of all Exline Temperature Sensors. It is designed to detect excessive temperature where protection is necessary or desired on stationary parts or areas. A fuse metal plug in the brass sensor is compounded of specific quantities of special metal alloys which melt at a predetermined temperature. When the fuse plug melts, a pressure drop in the pneumatic or hydraulic control system results. This pressure drop can be used to shut down the equipment or sound an alarm.
