The STRIX R48 is a Remote Steam Switch designed to ensure optimum performance in the control of steam in water boiling appliances. Its reduced size enables greater design freedom without compromising quality or reliability.

• STRIX worldwide approvals facilitate entry to international markets.
• Proven reliability, minimising the need for appliance end of line testing.
• Simple attachment of cosmetic switch covers.

The STRIX R48 is a remote mounting single pole automatic steam cut off. It is electrically connected to a heating element protection circuit by means of wiring terminated with 4.8 x 0.5mm female receptacles.

The switch is situated such that the snap action bimetal sensor is located in a steam path. When steam reaches the sensor the switch operates and opens the electrical circuit, cutting off the power to the heating element.
