2. Cautions to be observed when designing for use of ETR

(1) Do not install ETR where it may be subjected to severe or continuous vibration.

(2) For sealing-in with impregnating fluids or use of cleaning solvents, investigation (trial tests) with prototypes and initial products is required to ensure that intended sealing or cleaning does not affect marking and function of the ETR for each individual application.

 

3. Cautions to be observed when Handling ETR

(1) When bending terminal, hold between ETR body and bend, and bend slowly. Do not bend terminal within 3mm from body. Never bend terminal when ETR is hot.

 

4. Cautions to be observed when installing ETR

(1) When ETR is installed by spot welding, the condition of spot welding needs to be verified to make sure that the fusible element is not damaged or ETR shall not function by the heat from spot welding.

(2) Installation by soldering is not recommended due to the high possibility of the function of ETR and/or damage on its fusible element.

(3) When ETR’s internal material is found on the surface after installation, replace it with new one even if the resistance value may be normal.

(4) When ETR is installed by spot welding, measure the electric resistance of the welded point by a low– ohmmeter. Make sure that electric resistance is low and welded condition is appropriate. In case that electric resistance is high, it may result in malfunction of ETR, or the temperature of ETR may exceed the maximum allowable temperature. In addition, verify the mechanical strength of welded point by sampling inspection.

 

5. Repair and replacement

(1) ETR is not repairable. ETR small in size and not intended to be replaced.

(2) Replacement of ETR is not recommended, because, insulation characteristics and other safety characteristics of the equipment may have been affected by the excessive heat. Replacement of functioned ETR must be made by the customer’s risk ensuring following conditions.

(a) Replace with the same manufacturer’s same thermoprotector having the same Type No.

(b) Install the ETR in exactly the same way.

(c) The cause/reason of the ETR function is cleared completely.

(d) Insulation characteristics and other safety characteristics of the equipment are not decreased.
