2 Introduction
The Kaye Cold Temperature Reference is a bench-top constant temperature
bath useful in temperature calibration and other applications requiring stable
temperatures. An innovative state of the art solid-state temperature controller
has been incorporated which maintains the bath temperature with extreme sta-
bility. The temperature controller uses a micro-controller to execute the many
operating functions.
User interface is provided by the 8-digit LED display and four key-switches.
Digital remote communications is standard with an RS-232 interface.
