SERIES LV:

Watlow’s family of microprocessor-based limit controllers provides an economical solution for applications requiring temperature limit control. Limits are available in a broad range of packaging options, allowing selection of the best version for an application. Limits are available with an operator interface and can be ordered in 1/8 DIN-square panel mount or DIN-rail mount design configurations.

The SERIES LV limit family incorporates a microprocessor design platform. This design pro vides significant improvements in the performance, repeatability and accuracy offered by Watlow’s current line of analog limit controllers.

The variable SERIES LV limit includes an operator interface for viewing and selecting the set point. A red, four-character seven segment LED displays the set point. Set point selection is made with a continuous turn rotary encoder. Operating range temperature values are customer defined in the product configuration part number.

The limit controllers are factory mutual (FM) approved with special UL® approval for the open board potted versions. Watlow’s limit controllers include industry leading service and support and are protected by a three-year warranty.
