This quad channel thermocouple con-
troller is ideal for numerous industrial 
temperature applications. It accepts di-
rect sensor input from all common ther-
mocouple types.

One of the key features of this controller 
is its ability to average the inputs across 
2, 3 or 4 temperature channels, and use 
this averaged value for a display source 
or for setpoint activation.
