tion. The unit can also be mounted in a panel with the use of an optional panel
mount kit. A two-line, 16-character, 14-segment vacuum fluorescent display
is used for display of operating, setup, and alarm parameters.
A number of accessories can be used with this deluxe model of the Tempera-
ture Controller, including various types of temperature sensors, heating units,
cooling units (such as fans or pumps), remote alarms, and recorders.
One of several additional R/S model features (not available in the standard
models) is “Ramp and Soak,” which uses a timed sequence pre-set user
temperature set points.
The unit also has RS-232-C Serial Communications, so that it can be set up
and controlled by a computer. An IBM
®
-compatible PC (personal computer)
disk is included with the R/S controller, along with a separate operator's manual.
It can be used to set up the controller and perform logging and other func-
tions. For advanced users, a serial communications specification is included
on disk for customized programming.
