Analog Thermostats Selection Guide: Technical Criteria & Application Standards
Analog Thermostats selection guide: technical parameters, mounting and compliance standards, and Enda, GEMO, Tense comparison.
An analog thermostat is a panel-mount electronic temperature controller in which the desired temperature is set with a scaled knob on the front and which switches its output according to the measurement it receives from a thermocouple or PT100 probe. It is used in heating applications such as ovens, drying cabinets, packaging and plastic machines where the setting is to be made directly from the knob without entering a menu. The category includes the Enda AT411 and ATC9311 series and the GEMO AT961 and Tense AD-96 models; the product data lists J type, K type and PT100 sensor inputs, 48x48 mm and 96x96 mm housings, and 230 V AC and 10-30 V DC / 8-24 V AC supplies. Select the sensor input type by the probe you have, the scale range by your operating temperature, the supply voltage by the control voltage in the panel and the housing dimension by the mounting location in the panel. Some analog-adjustable models also show the measured value on a digital display; the Tense AD-96 is of this type. A panel-mount analog thermostat is not a room thermostat used for combi boilers or a mechanical thermostat with a capillary tube; it is an electronic device that works with a separate temperature probe. The Analog Thermostats category on Welibaba includes 12 active models from leading manufacturers such as Enda, GEMO, Tense.
Key Technical Parameters for Selecting Analog Thermostats
To specify the right Analog Thermostats model for your panel or installation, verify the following parameters against your engineering schedule:
| Parameter | Typical Catalog Values | Verification Note |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor Input Type | J (Fe-const), J Tipi, J-K, PT100 | Verify against project schedule and load calculation |
| Supply Type | 10 - 30VDC / 8 - 24VAC, 100..240 VAC, 230 V AC | Verify against project schedule and load calculation |
| Size Type | 48x48x82, 96x96 mm, 96x96x50 | Verify against project schedule and load calculation |
| Communication Type | Yok | Verify against project schedule and load calculation |
Installation, Compatibility, and Commissioning Checklist
- Electrical & Mechanical Matching: Confirm that rated voltage, current capacity, and mounting dimensions align with the upstream and downstream components in Analog Temperature Controllers.
- Environmental & Enclosure Rating: Check IP protection class, housing material, and terminal capacity for dusty, humid, or high-vibration industrial environments.
- Related Product Groups: If your application calls for a different form factor or rating, compare sibling categories such as Analog Temperature Controllers.
