ETR-3 FM SUB-PANEL MOUNT 

HI-LIMIT CONTROL 

INSTRUCTION
MANUAL

The ETR-3 Series is designed for industrial and com-
mercial applications which require high temperature
protection.  These controls feature a latching, manually
resettable relay output which de-energizes whenever
the sensed temperature exceeds the set point tempera-
ture.  It can also be configured as an on-off temperature
control.

DIMENSIONS:

MOUNTING

The ETR-3 can be surface mounted or mounted on a DIN
rail.  The ETR-3 must be located inside a suitable control
enclosure.  It can be mounted to any suitable flat surface
using two #8 screws (not supplied).  To install simply
position the top set of rear clips over the top of the DIN

rail.  Then swing the bottom of the controller toward the
rail applying pressure until the lower clips snap on to the
bottom of the DIN rail.  To remove apply pressure to the
top of the controller’s base and move the bottom of the
controller toward you.  Then lift the top pf the controller
off the upper DIN rail.
