Temperature Measurement


Economical temperature control

June 2008 Temperature Measurement

The latest Panasonic KT4 Series temperature controller from Instrotech is a cost-effective, highly accurate, multi-input unit for thermocouple, RTD, DC voltage and DC current sensors. All required operations can be enabled by the front keys and highly precise PID control mode ensures an input span of ±0,2%.

The controllers comply with UL, CSA standards and carry CE certification

The unit measures thermocouple types K, J, R, S, B, E, T, N, PL-II, C (W/Re5-26); RTDs Pt100, JPt100, Current 4-20 mA and 0-20 mA and voltages of 0-1, 010, 1-5 and 0-5 V. The sampling period is 250 ms and an option is available for heating or cooling control with failure alarm.

The compact 48 x 48 mm controller operates off 100 to 240 V a.c. and communication to PLC or PC is via an integral RS485 interface.
