WATER TEMPERATURE SWITCH - MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.
a.
The terminals of the water temperature switch are connected into the alarm system, and when the
engine circulating water temperature reaches 205 5 (96 2.9 ), the switch closes and turns on the alarm
F
C
system.
b.
As the water temperature increases, a plunger rises and contacts a wheel which is attached to the switch
actuating lever. A further increase in water temperature forces the contact end of the actuating lever upwards.
When the water temperature reaches 205 +5 (96 2.9C); this lever forces the switch button upwards into
F
the switch block, thus closing the switch. Since this lever is spring loaded, the contact end of the lever moves
away from the switch button as the water temperature decreases.
NOTE
An alarm will sound in the pilothouse.
