Abstract

A temperature controller with a remote sensor having a high temperature cutoff with circuit means to prevent operation of the unit if tampered with to bypass a safety function. A remote sensor has a thermal fuse and diode feeding a pulsating D.C. voltage to a control circuit having a capacitor and an impedance means to which pulsating D.C. is fed. If the sensor unit is bypassed the thermal fuse in the controller burns out to render the controller inoperative.
