Drawing use: Schematic

A temperature-operated NO switch changes from open to closed under its specified actuation condition.

## What it represents

A temperature-operated NO switch changes from open to closed under its specified actuation condition. The drawing must identify the sensed location and temperature direction.

## How to read it

- Do not assume a normally-open contact always means rising-temperature alarm.
- The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.

## Information to show or reference

- Name sensed location
- State operating temperature and direction
- Reference reset behaviour

## Important distinction

A temperature switch provides a discrete contact state; an RTD provides a resistance measurement.

## Facts

- Drawing role: Actuated indication
- Representation scope: Functional concept; not an official standard graphic or a product footprint
- Public vendor block reference: HTS11, VTS11 (Autodesk identifiers; not IEC symbol numbers)
- Identifier status: The short label is a functional lookup label, not an assigned IEC or IEEE symbol number. Any separately listed Autodesk code is a verified vendor block name.
