Eppendorf SAFETY DEVICE,OVERTEMP.CUTOUT P0626-0160

The Eppendorf safety device described as an over-temperature cut-out is a thermal safety component used to detect and respond to dangerous temperature excursions in temperature-controlled laboratory equipment. When the chamber temperature or a heating element exceeds its factory-set activation threshold, the device cuts power to the heating elements (and, where applicable, the CO2 control valve) and triggers the unit's over-temperature alarm. It is used as a service/replacement safety part in Eppendorf incubators and similar controlled-temperature instruments to protect samples, instrumentation and personnel.

Key Features:

• Function: over-temperature cut-out (thermal safety device) — interrupts power to heating elements on over-temperature.
• Behavior: activates at a factory-set activation threshold (not user-adjustable) and triggers the equipment's over-temperature alarm.
• Application: intended as a service/spare safety component for Eppendorf temperature-controlled equipment (e.g., CO2 incubators, refrigerated units) to initiate emergency control procedures.

Advantages:

• Protects samples and equipment by immediately cutting heating power when a hazardous temperature rise is detected.
• Generates audible/visual alarm and forces the instrument into an emergency control mode so the chamber can be brought back under safe conditions.
• Factory-set threshold ensures consistent, manufacturer-determined protection without need for user calibration.
