Thermostat with Hanging Sensor

Description

Thermostat with Hanging Sensor

Thermostat with hanging sensor for the Alke Global 5, Global 10 and AP2 Gas Brooder.

The thermostat sensor is an integral part of the thermostatic gas brooders.

Adjust the heat input by setting the thermostat knob at the desired value. Note that the temperature on the ground will be several degrees higher than at the sensor. So, use the setting on the thermostat knob as a rough guideline and always check the real temperature on the ground.

Full user manuals available:

• For Global 5/10
• For Alke AP2

Approx. Temperature (T)

• Δ = 15 °C
• * = 20 °C
• 1 = 22 °C
• 2 = 28 °C
• 3 = 33 °C
• 4 = 36 °C
• 5 = 38 °C

Troubleshooting problems that might involve the thermostat with hanging sensor:

The burner does not work at minimum position

• Gas pressure is not correct. Check the gas pressure with the data plate
• Wrong gas used. Check data plate for the correct gas supply
• Check the size of the venturi and injector with the table
• Sensor or wire thermostat broken
• Thermostat valve adjusting mechanism blocked
• By-pass hole thermostat or solenoid valve blocked
• Injector (partly) blocked
• Centre hole dual injector (Di) blocked
• Check if the thermocouple has the proper depth in the burner, measured on the top plate (Global 5 = 25mm, Global 10 = 22 mm)

Heater will not attain the desired temperature

• There is insufficient heat in the building for heat loss (i.e., not enough brooders).
• The thermostat sensing bulb incorrectly placed
• The thermostat is out of calibration or broken
• The solenoid valve is not functioning
• One of the two holes of the dual injector (Di) is blocked
• Injector partly blocked

The hanging sensor is a fragile part, therefore can be susceptible to damage if care is not taken.

It is one of the most common spare parts supplied.
