The STRIX U17 series of controls are specifically designed for water heating appliances where the heating element is hidden from the consumer. All variants are designed for use with a remote steam switch and incorporate two-level, two pole protection against boiling dry or accidental dry switch on of the appliance.

• For concealed sheathed element systems
• Optional non-cycling dry boil protection
• Features "Trip-Free" design
• 360º cordless system using STRIX P72
• For use with remote steam switch - STRIX R48

STRIX U17 controls are designed for mounting directly onto the underside of conventional concealed heating elements and incorporate the upper part of the STRIX P72 360º rotation cordless. All variants feature a 2 pole dry switch on protection system which utilises 2 bimetal sensors for optimum dry protection performance. An optional lift off reset" (LOR) feature is available on all variants which after a dry boil situation only allows the control to be switched back on when the appliance has been removed and replaced on its power base. This provides an optional non-cycling and therefore energy saving dry protection system.

• The control is fixed to the base of the appliance directly onto the heater element plate by means of screws , rivets or by clinching. Conventional heating elements are electrically connected by either solid or flexible wires.
• The cosmetic cover may be attached directly to the control.
• Further information, application drawings and advice are available from any STRIX Sales office.
