Operating mechanism
ii. Make type
As the make type has a gap spacer in the middle of Thermorite®, when the surrounding temperature is lower than the return temperature, two pairs of permanent magnet and Thermorite® creates tow independent magnetic fields ( see fig. below). These two magnetic fields turn the switch "OFF" just as in the case of break type in higher temperature than the operation temperature.
When the surrounding temperature becomes higher than the operating temperature, the Thermorite changes into nonmagnetic material, letting each permanent magnet creating independent magnetic fields in further ends of the reed switch (see fig. below). As a result, reed and the tips of reed contact are magnetically inducted to become negative and positive poles. Due to the magnetism, two contacts becomes together, turning the switch "ON".
