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 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.

Controllers with two control zones let you independently turn heating equipment on and off in two separate areas, each with their own thermocouple input and heating control output.

Mount these temperature controllers directly onto DIN rail for controlling 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. 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 or RTD probe (both not included) 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.

All meet American, Canadian, and European safety standards.

Mechanical relay outputs actuate circuits directly. All are single pole, single throw (SPST) relays and turn one circuit from off to on (normally open). Solid state relay outputs send a pulse signal to directly control an external solid state relay (not included). They last longer than mechanical and analog signal relays. Use them for more precise and rapid control switching than mechanical relays. Analog signal outputs are typically used with SRC (silicon controlled rectifier) power controllers (not included) for some of the highest precision control.

Alarm outputs can be configured to actuate alarms or other simple devices. Those with cooling/alarm outputs can also be used to turn cooling equipment on or off at a specified temperature.

Switch heaters on or off when your process reaches a certain temperature. Both these controllers and your heater will be powered by the same wall outlet. Place the probe into your process, plug the controller into an outlet, and plug your heater into the socket on the back of the controller’s plug. These simple temperature controllers deliver either full power or no power. They’re best used in systems where temperatures change slowly and you don’t need precise control.

IP20 and NEMA 1 rated controllers are best for indoor use. They keep dirt out and will stop objects about the size of a finger from coming into contact with a live circuit.

IP66 and NEMA 4X rated controllers seal out dirt, corrosive liquids, and water from high-pressure washdowns.

Cycle heaters on and off intermittently to maintain a set temperature in your system. These proportional controllers keep your heater on when your system is below the set temperature, and they turn it off in short cycles when your system nears the set temperature. The short cycles make them more precise and allow less temperature fluctuation than on/off controllers. Use them on electric heaters only—they don't work with valves or solenoids.

Turn the dial on these controllers to choose your set temperature. They use a highly sensitive thermocouple probe (not included) to read temperature. Their mechanical relay actuates circuits directly. All are SPDT (single pole, double throw) and can turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or on to off (normally closed). Install these controllers into instrument panels with DIN cutouts.

All controllers meet American, Canadian, and European safety standards.

To mount 1/16 DIN controllers to a surface or DIN rail, add DIN-rail/surface-mount adapters. To convert larger cutouts to fit 1/16 DIN controllers, add DIN cutout adapters.

The probe has 1/2 NPT male threads for installation directly into tanks, pipelines, and other process components. It comes with a bushing that adapts the thread size to 3/4 NPT male. Switches with two actuation points have two SPDT (single pole, double throw) relays. Each relay can be set to turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed).

A digital display makes it easy to monitor the temperature and control when these switches turn heating equipment on and off. They have an adjustable reset, so you can change the temperature range between when they activate and deactivate, commonly referred to as deadband and differential. Use the keypad to adjust the setpoint and reset point anywhere on the setpoint range. They produce an electronic signal that is often used to communicate with a programmable logic controller (PLC), so they're common in control and automation applications. Install them directly into tanks, pipelines, and other process components using their threaded probe.

These switches have a micro M12 plug, so you can quickly connect and disconnect them.

Rated IP65 and IP67, these switches protect against dust and water from washdowns and temporary submersion. They’re also UL listed, C-UL listed, and CE marked, so they meet U.S., Canadian, and European safety standards.

Send signals to trigger two different processes, each with their own set temperatures. For example, use one setpoint to turn a heater on and off at one temperature and another to activate an alarm if the temperature rises too far above the cutoff point. Twist the outer ring to adjust your setpoints—no need for tools. After choosing your setpoint, tighten the locking ring to prevent unintentional changes. Once the setpoint is reached, an LED illuminates, indicating the switching status. The threaded probe installs directly into tanks, pipelines, and other process components.

These switches send an electronic PNP signal to your programmable logic controller (PLC), so they’re often used in control and automation applications. They have a micro M12 plug connection and are compatible with micro M12 sockets, allowing you to quickly connect and disconnect the switch.

They are rated IP67 for protection from dust and temporary submersion.

An adjustable reset lets you control the amount of temperature change, also known as deadband and differential, before these switches reset. Twist the rings to select the setpoint temperature and reset temperature anywhere within the setpoint range. When they reach the set temperature, they send an electronic signal to your programmable logic controller (PLC) to turn equipment on or off. Because they control two circuits, they turn one device from off to on (normally open) and another from on to off (normally closed). An LED illuminates to indicate they’re switching. These switches are often used in control and automation in hydraulics, pneumatics, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications. Made of stainless steel, they resist corrosion and chemicals.

Install these switches directly into tanks, pipelines, and other process components using their threaded probe.
