Description
The A20 Series (2 inch/51 mm dial) and the A25
®
Series (2-1/2 inch/64 mm dial) SWICHGAGE mod-
els are diaphragm-actuated, temperature-indicating
gages, with built-in electrical switches for tripping
alarms and/or shutdown devices.

A20TE and A25TE SWICHGAGE
Pointer: Tempered nickel silver; red tip.
Lens: Polycarbonate, high-impact.
A20TE (was A20ESR) and A25TE (was A25ESR).
Models with internal SPDT snap-switches, instead
of the single pole/pointer contact(s). When the
switch closes on rising temperature, it becomes Set.
As temperature decreases the switch Resets.

Class I, Division 1, Groups
These vapor/pressure actuated gages feature a sealed
capillary tube and a sensing bulb. When subjected to
heat, the liquid in the sensing bulb changes to vapor
creating pressure against a diaphragm mechanism.
The diaphragm translates this vapor pressure into a
mechanical gage reading.

Adjustable Limit Contact (A20T and A25T):
SPST contact; pilot-duty only, 2 A @ 30 VAC/
VDC; isolated from case ground. Normally Closed
when the high limit is met. Normally Open when
pointer is in normal operating range. Contacts are
gold flashed silver.

A20TABS and A25TABS SWICHGAGE
Same as 20 and 25T with internal SPDT snap-
switch for pre-alarm.
For series A20T and A25T, the gage pointer acts as a
temperature indicator and as one switch pole which
completes a circuit when it touches the adjustable limit
contact. Contact(s) are isolated from ground. They have
self-cleaning motion to enhance electrical continuity.

Pre-Alarm Using A20/A25TABS
The A20TABS and A25TABS features a standard limit contact for equipment
shutdown on high temperature. It also has an internal SPDT snap-switch to sig-
nal an alarm before shutting down. When the snap-switch trips (preset point), on
and the shutdown circuit will be completed (see the typical diagram below for
reference). The front contact shutdown limit setting (which is adjustable) and
the snap-switch are preset at the factory. Refer to “Temperature Ranges and
rising temperature, the switch completes a circuit to activate an alarm. If the Factory Settings” table on opposite page for settings. For alternative alarm
temperature continues to increase, the face-adjustable pointer contact will make before shutdown, see Magnetic Switch model 760A or 761APH.
