WissEl - Wissenschaftliche Elektronik GmbH - TR-55 Temperature Controller

TR-55

Temperature Controller

The temperature controller TR-55 is designed for controlling the temperature of the Mössbauer Furnace MBF-1100. It is equipped with a special output stage supplying sufficient power for heating up the furnace MBF-1100.
A type K thermocouple (Cromel®-Alumel®) inside the furnace MBF-1100 is used as temperature sensor for automatic temperature control.

Cromel® and Alumel® are registered trademarks of Hoskins Manufacturing Company

FEATURES

Maximum temperature 1100°C (for long term measurements 1000°C)
Auto-tune facility for automatic measuring of the temperature control circuit
Pulse width controlled output for heating device
Built-in temperature control module EUROTHERM 3216 with many programmable functions
Setting temperature control parameters via push buttons at the front panel of the EUROTHERM module
Remote control by an optional software (setting temperature control parameters and reading measuring values) via RS 232C serial interface
