Commonly referred to as a "freezestat," it monitors air or surface temperature and automatically resets if temperature conditions return to safe levels. It features a 20-foot capillary sensing element and is built for dependable operation in applications such as display cases, beverage coolers, freezer cabinets, and walk-in units. The L480B is widely used in commercial refrigeration and agricultural frost protection. Key Features: Application-Specific Design: Ideal for refrigerated enclosures, air handlers, and frost monitoring systems. Temperature Range: Adjustable setpoint from 20°F to 60°F (–6.7°C to 15.6°C). Fixed Differential: 10°F (5.6°C) differential provides consistent performance and reset behavior. Capillary Sensing Element: Includes a 20-foot (6.1 m) capillary tube for remote sensing. Switch Type: SPDT (Single Pole, Double Throw) switch with automatic reset for reliable temperature control. Rugged Construction: Enclosed dustproof and moisture-resistant switch housing enhances durability. Mounting Flexibility: Can be mounted horizontally or vertically for versatile installation. Voltage Compatibility: Rated for 120/240 VAC operation. Certifications: UL Listed and CSA Certified for safety compliance. Weight: Approximately 1.6 lbs (0.73 kg) The L480B offers reliable and simple protection against low-temperature damage in refrigeration and HVAC systems. With its extended sensing capability and durable design, it is a trusted solution for maintaining temperature stability in both commercial and agricultural environments.
