Garland 4521711 Clamshell Grill Platen Thermocouple

The Garland 4521711 Platen Thermocouple is a temperature-sensing element for use in compatible clamshell grill equipment. It senses heat at a specified platen region and generates an electrical signal proportional to the sensed heat. It is mounted in or on the grill platen assembly and is used to transmit temperature data to the control system. This input is used by the controller to keep track of the heat and adjust the grill according to its programmed setting. It is part of the temperature sensing circuit of the appliance and is used to assist the control system in determining the thermal condition of the cooking surface during grill operation.
