The faceplate on these controllers is sealed to meet NEMA 4X and IP66 for protection in washdown environments with splashing water, corrosive liquid, and dust. The rear case meets IP20, which prevents objects about the size of a finger from coming into contact with a live circuit.

Because they have proportional-integral-derivative (PID) software, these controllers are ideal for turning heating equipment on and off in systems with rapid, unpredictable, and complex temperature changes. They help you achieve precise and stable temperature control with fuzzy logic that learns system behavior and automatically compensates for changes. Use the autotuning function to cycle and identify the ideal PID variables for your system to achieve the most precise control. These controllers read temperature with a highly sensitive thermocouple probe (sold separately) in critical process applications. All fit into instrument panels with DIN cutouts. Use the keypad to adjust the actuation point, reset point, and other settings.

Controllers with automatic reset switch off and on again automatically as the temperature fluctuates. Controllers with automatic/manual reset give you the choice to have machines turn back on either automatically when the temperature fluctuates, or you can manually reset their switch. When set to manual they shut down your machine when it gets too hot to protect equipment and personnel. They won’t turn the machine back on until you reset their switch. They have a second output to actuate an alarm or another simple device.

Mechanical relay outputs actuate circuits directly. Single pole, single throw (SPST) relays turn one circuit from off to on (normally open). Single pole, double throw (SPDT) relays can be set to turn the circuit from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed).

Solid state relay outputs send a pulse signal to directly control an external solid-state relay (not included). They have a longer service life than mechanical and signal relays. Use them for more precise and rapid control switching than mechanical relays.

Analog signal outputs send 4-20 mA current to actuate equipment on a current loop. They are typically used with SRC (silicon controlled rectifier) power controllers (not included) for some of the highest precision control.

DIN-rail/surface-mount adapters (sold separately) mount 1/16 DIN controllers to a surface.

DIN cutout adapters (sold separately) convert larger cutouts to fit 1/16 DIN 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 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.

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.

Controllers that are SPDT (single pole, double throw) can turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or on to off (normally closed).

Controllers that are SPST-NO (single pole, single throw) can turn one circuit from off to on (normally open).

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.

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.

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.

The simplest temperature controllers—they turn devices fully on or off, with no middle state, at a given temperature. They’re best as alarms and for systems where temperature changes slowly, but they shouldn’t be used when precise temperature control is necessary. All automatically reset as the temperature fluctuates. To read the temperature, they use a highly sensitive thermocouple probe (not included). And their mechanical relay actuates circuits directly. Controllers are SPDT (single pole, double throw) and can turn one circuit from off to on (normally open) or on to off (normally closed). Mount them into cutouts in instrument panels.

All meet American, Canadian, and European safety standards.

Controllers with a dial let you change the temperature actuation point with a turn. They fit into panels with 1/16 DIN cutouts. To mount them to a surface or DIN rail, add DIN-rail/surface-mount adapters. To convert larger cutouts to fit these controllers, use DIN cutout adapters.

Controllers with a keypad let you quickly adjust the temperature actuation point, reset point, and other settings.

Rated IP65 and NEMA 4X to seal out water and dust, these temperature controllers turn your equipment on and off in areas with frequent washdowns. They're the simplest type of temperature controller, so they switch your heater or other device fully on or off without a middle state when they reach a given temperature. These controllers work great as alarms and in systems that can't handle rapid switching or have slow temperature changes. However, you shouldn't use them in processes that require precise control over temperatures.

To read temperature, these controllers use a highly sensitive thermocouple or RTD probe (not included). 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). Since these controllers reset automatically, they turn off and on again as the temperature fluctuates. Use the keypad to set the actuation point, reset point, and other settings. Mount them into instrument panel cutouts.

These controllers have UL recognized components and are CSA certified and CE marked, so they meet American, Canadian, and European safety standards.
