Important Notes
Danger
The terminal strip of the equipment is live during operation.
This presents the danger of electric shock.
Cut off power supply before mounting or removing the terminal strips
and the housing cover.
Usage for the intended purpose
Use temperature switch TRS 5-8 only in conjunction with resistance thermometers TRG 5-53, TRG 5-54,
TRG 5-55 and TRG 5-57 for signalling limit temperature.
Safety note
The equipment must only be installed and commissioned by qualified and competent staff.
Retrofitting and maintenance work must only be performed by qualified staff who – through adequate
training – have achieved a recognised level of competence.

ATEX (Atmosphère Explosible)
The equipment constitutes a simple item of electrical equipment as defined in DIN EN 50020 section
5.4. According to the European Directive 94/9/EC the equipment must be equipped with approved
Zener barriers if used in potentially explosive areas. Applicable in Ex-zones 1, 2 (1999/92EC). The
equipment does not bear an Ex-marking. The suitability of the Zener barriers is certified in a separate
document.
Attention
The name plate specifies the technical features of the equipment. Note that any piece of
equipment without its specific name plate must neither be commissioned nor operated.
PED (Pressure Equipment Directive)
The equipment fulfills the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive PED 97/23/EC.
For applications with fluids of group 1 and 2.
With CE marking (apart from equipment according to section 3.3 that is excluded from the scope of this
directive).

Description
Temperature switch designed for use with resistance thermometers type TRG 5-53, TRG 5-54,
TRG 5-55 or TRG 5-57.
The equipment works as temperature monitor. An alarm is given as soon as the temperature ex-
ceeds a preset limit. Application in steam boilers and pressurized hot-water plants operating without
constant supervision (TRD 604) as well as any other kind of heat generating units.

Function
The temperature switch TRS 5-8 is a two-channel temperature monitoring system used in conjunction
with a standardized platinum resistance thermometer Pt 100 to IEC 751. A power source fitted with a
variable resistor supplies the resistance thermometer Pt 100 with a constant current.
The desired cut-off temperatures are adjusted by means of an eight-pole code switch. To ensure a fail-
safe alarm signal as soon as the temperature exceeds the max. limit the output contact relays of the
TRS 5-8 are of the normally closed type. In the event of a power supply failure the temperature switch
will raise an alarm.
The temperature switch can signal the following two operating conditions:
■Normal operation (temperatures within permissible range)
■Alarm (temperatures above/below limit)
A green LED indicates mains supply ON. Two red LEDs are illuminated if the temperature exceeds or
falls below the limit.

Plug-in unit in plastic case for installation in contol cabinets The terminals in the case are accessible
after loosening two screws and unplugging the unit from its base. Thanks to the code plug the
equipment cannot be connected inadvertently to wrong GESTRA equipment. The equipment may be
clipped onto a 35 mm supporting rail or screwed into position on a mounting panel.
