Description
The Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) TC-5241 is a heavy-duty low temperature thermostat engineered to detect and respond to freezing conditions in HVAC air handling and mechanical systems. With a wide voltage range and a proven capillary sensing design, this thermostat delivers reliable freeze protection across a broad range of commercial and industrial applications.
Product Overview
The TC-5241 monitors air temperature across its 20-foot capillary element, triggering a manual reset action when temperatures drop to a dangerous level. Because it requires a manual reset, the unit ensures that a qualified technician investigates and resolves the root cause of a freeze condition before the system is returned to service — a critical safety feature in sensitive HVAC environments.
Key Features
- Low temperature (freeze protection) thermostat for HVAC air handling units and ductwork
- Setpoint range: 35°F to 60°F for precise freeze-protection calibration
- Manual reset operation — requires intentional reset after a trip event for added safety
