Available in compact 1/32 and 1/16 DIN panel sizes, the 2132 and 2116 temperature controllers are designed for accurate, trouble free control of ovens, chillers, sterilisers and other simple heating and cooling processes. Two outputs are configurable for heating, cooling and alarms. The universal input allows selection of nine thermocouple types and the Pt100 resistance thermometer. Other input linearisations may be factory downloaded. Voltage and current inputs can be accepted using appropriate input adaptors.

Advanced control techniques give stable "straight-line" temperature control with self tuning to optimise the control performance without the need for specialist knowledge or training. Heater failure can be detected when the controller is used with a TE10S Solid State Relay (p152)Three internal alarm setpoints are provided, configurable as latching or non-latching, which can be "blocked" on start-up to prevent unnecessary operator alerts. Calibration accuracy is maintained with a self-correcting input circuit. User calibration allows offsets to be applied to compensate for sensor and other system errors.

An integral timer can apply heating (and cooling) for a pre-set period, or delay heating to come on after a set time. The latter is useful for over-night batch processing.
