    High-Limit Temperature Controllers

    To protect equipment and personnel, these controllers shut down your machine when it gets too hot. Reset them manually to turn your machine on again. They're often used as a fail-safe system and for triggering alarms.
    Set the actuation point and adjust other settings with the keypad. To read the temperature, these controllers use a highly sensitive thermocouple probe (sold separately). They have one or two mechanical relays that actuate circuits directly. Mount them into instrumentation panels with DIN cutouts.

    SPDT—Controllers that are SPDT (single pole, double throw) can turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or on to off (normally closed).
    SPST-NO—Controllers that are SPST-NO (single pole, single throw) can turn one circuit from off to on (normally open).
    Remote Reset—Remote-reset controllers are best for hard-to-reach locations. To operate, you’ll need to wire the remote reset input terminals, and the sensor must be below the set temperature.

    Bench-Top Autotuning Temperature Controllers

    Built into an enclosure, these temperature controllers are protected when sitting on your workbench. Ideal in systems with rapid, unpredictable, or complex temperature changes, they turn heating equipment on and off using a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control algorithm to make fine adjustments, giving you the most precise and stable temperature control. All work similarly to proportional controllers but gather more variables to calculate the most effective way to return to the target temperature and avoid overshooting it. They also have fuzzy logic to learn your system's behavior and compensate as needed. Use the autotuning function to have the controller cycle and identify the ideal PID variables for your system. These controllers read temperature with a highly sensitive thermocouple probe in critical process applications. Since they reset automatically, they switch off and on again as the temperature fluctuates. Use the keypad to adjust the actuation point, reset point, and other settings.
    The controllers have mechanical relay outputs that actuate circuits directly. All are single pole, single throw (SPST-NO) relays and turn one circuit from off to on (normally open).
    Controllers with 1 Control Zone and High-Limit Control

    Controllers with high-limit control let you attach a second thermocouple probe to take the temperature of your heating equipment. If your equipment reaches the high limit, these controllers shut down your heating equipment and won't let it turn back on until you manually reset it, improving the safety of your system.
