The Raychem EC-TS electronic thermostat is an ambient, pipe or slab sensing thermostat that is ideal for pipe freeze protection, flow maintenance, freezer frost heave, floor heating and snow melting applications. The EC-TS can be used to control a single heat-tracing -circuit or as a pilot control of a contactor switching multiple heat tracing circuits. The temperature set point can be visually checked through the clear lid, as can the LED indicators for alarm, power and heating cable status. The stainless steel temperature sensor makes it an ideal thermostat for applications that require an embedded sensor.
