2 Safety
2.1 Intended use
EGO Thermostats are intended for the following applications, depending on the type (temperature
regulator, thermal cut-out, temperature limiter):
Temperature regulator: regulates the operating temperature of a medium.
Temperature limiter: For safety reasons, limits the operating temperature of a medium to an
adjustable maximum temperature.
Thermal cut-out: For safety reasons, limits the operating temperature of a medium to a fixed
maximum temperature.
Any other use requires the written consent of E.G.O..
EGO Thermostats and Temperature Limiters are not dangerous substances in the sense of the
EC Dangerous Preparations Directive (1999/45/EG) or the German Hazardous Substances
Ordinance (GefStoffV) and thus are not subject to labeling requirements.
Exception: Diastates that are filled with a metal alloy with a low melting point are marked with a
separate warning sign: “Attention. Filler reacts with water. Danger of fire and etching“.
EGO thermostats that are filled with a metal alloy with a low melting point are treated
separately. The working area must be arranged to prevent any contact between the metal
alloy and water, as this leads to a chemical reaction. The thermostats must be protected
against mechanical factors such as shock and impacts.
Proper use also includes the following points:
Compliance with the permissible operating conditions according to the type drawing.
Follow these operating instructions.
