Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About This Product

How does the 11-893-R-KR sense temperature?

With a bimetallic creep-action element — not an electronic sensor. Two bonded metals bend as they heat and carry the contact through the setpoint. The 11-893-R-KR is SPST with 16 preset setpoints across 0–100°C, rated 6A at 120V AC resistive and 2A maximum at 240VDC resistive. Nothing is powered and nothing is calibrated in the field.

How do I choose a temperature switch?

Start with the setpoint and the medium, then the mounting depth. The 11-893-R-KR uses a bimetallic creep-action element — SPST, 6A 120V AC resistive — sealed with an O-ring and rated to 50 PSI at 20°C. Sensing depth is set by the 10-715 precision nipple, so one switch reaches anywhere from 1 to 70 inches into the vessel.

Does the 11-893-R-KR open or close as temperature rises?

Check the contact column before you wire it. A switch that opens on rising temperature is normally closed, so the circuit breaks at the setpoint — which is what a heater interlock wants and the opposite of what an over-temperature alarm wants. Sixteen preset setpoints cover 0–100°C, so the action matters as much as the number.

How deep should the probe sit, and how do I mount it?

Sensing depth is set by the 10-715 precision nipple, which places the tip anywhere from 1 to 70 inches in. Mounting is bulkhead, NPT, snap bracket or angle connector, so one switch adapts to a vessel wall, a pipe boss or a panel, and the seal is an O-ring. Put the element in moving liquid — not in a dead pocket and not against a wall.

Does the 11-893-R-KR need calibration or maintenance?

No. The setpoint is preset at the factory — one of 16 across 0–100°C — and there is nothing to adjust. The element is bimetallic and unpowered. Maintenance is keeping the probe clean and reseating the O-ring on reinstallation. To test, bring the medium through the setpoint and watch the contact change state; if it never changes, replace the switch.

What liquid chemistries is the 11-893-R-KR compatible with?

Choose the material to match the media: Polypropylene (PP) for general aqueous, acids, and bases; Acetal (AC/Delrin) for solvents, fuels, and hydrocarbons; Kynar PVDF (KR) for aggressive or harsh chemicals. Most ERECTA SWITCH models are offered in all three materials; some are material-specific, so check the product page for the model you need.
