The SDB Series is a direct-mounting temperature device. It provides an accurate direct-reading gauge with an adjustable limit switch to activate alarms and/or shutdown. A knob on the front of the instrument allows you to adjust the limit switch trip point. Pointer movement is actuated by a bi-metallic sensing element.
The most common use of the SDB Series is to monitor gas compressor temperatures. Engine exhaust temperature can also be monitored to indicate overloading or lean fuel mixtures, or use the SDB to help coordinate loads on twin-engine installations.
