Functional description:
The radio temperature monitor is used to monitor the exhaust gas temperature in the flue pipe of heat-generating systems. The heat acts on a precision microswitch which, above the fixed set limit temperature, switches off the transmitter for the release messages and thus does not release the exhaust air system. After the temperature at the sensor is lowered by approx. 15K below the fixed limit value of 40°C, the microswitch switches back and the transmitter sends release signals again. The window transmitter included in the set releases the exhaust air system when the window is open, if the furnace is burning and no release signals are sent from the FTX transmitter. Closing the window will cause a short interruption even though the furnace is cold, until the next release is sent from the FTX. This serves an extended safety. Mechanical damage to the sensor leads to a lowering of the switching point until the FTX no longer releases despite a cold furnace, therefore the system is intrinsically safe!
Use and mounting of the FTX
The FTX 519 is attached to a free piece of the flue gas pipe with a minimum diameter of 120mm, which is freely accessible at all times. The pipe can be located behind a maintenance flap, the furnace itself or in the vicinity of heat dissipating parts. However, the permissible ambient temperature at the switch housing and cable must not exceed 180°C under any circumstances. The mounting location should be easily accessible (pull off the FTX to clean the flue pipe) and free of vibration. The FTX determines whether a stove is cold and sends release signals to the FDS receiver so that a window does not always have to be opened as well to put an exhaust system into operation. At the end of the 2-meter silicone line is the transmitter, which is mounted on a wall outside the heat range (no more than 50°C) and convenient for radio communication.
Additional transmitter for second window
In order to have a choice between two windows (OR function), it is possible to use an additional transmitter FDS 098 of the same code, which is programmed at the factory.
Second recipient
An additional receiver can be added to the existing set (installation FDS 199 or intermediate plug FDS 299) can be controlled. As soon as the furnace is cold or a window has been opened, both receivers enable the respective connected device. When ordering additional devices, always specify the serial number of your existing receiver.
Operating note
For technical reasons, the operation of a radio temperature transmitter is only permitted with one existing furnace. If two or more furnaces are to be equipped with the FTX, safe operation is not sufficiently guaranteed. In this case please contact the technical support of Elektrotechnik Schabus so that we can find an individual solution for you. Housing of the FTX transmitter and window magnet switch in color telegrau-4 on request against surcharge in all RAL colors available. Hint: When mounting the sensor, make sure that it is not bent or damaged. The comfort packages are programmed to each other at the factory, for replacement of individual components please contact our Technical Support.
