Smart Heating Elements
- Molybdenum disilicide elements with unique right-angle bend and sidewall mounting reduce maintenance usually associated with element termination and mounting
- Designed for easy replacement without matching resistance values
- Fast heat-up and recovery with excellent uniformity and energy efficiency
- Increased resistance to thermal shock, ideal for rapid cycling over extended periods
Overtemperature Control (OTC)†
- Adjustable digital overtemperature control protects furnace and load in the event of primary control circuit failure
- Overrides main controller and shuts off power to furnace if high limit is reached
- Manual reset required for safety
- Operates via signal from independent thermocouple
Programmable Controller With Communications (COM Models)
- With RS-485 data port (communications card and port) for connection to remote computer
- Enables modification, interrogation and data transfer of instrument control and configuration parameters
- Up to 30 units can be connected to one PC
Digital Multiple Program, Multiple Segment Programmable Controller
- Microprocessor-based PID control (proportional, integral, derivative) prevents overshoot
