TENSE dual-band PID temperature controller with timer and heating profile

Description

The TENSE dual-band thermostat is a programmable PID controller that automatically sets parameters for precise temperature control. It allows 12/20 programmable steps with independent time intervals, controls current temperature and time, and supports relative and absolute alarms. The controller is suitable for panel or instrument mounting.

Main advantages

• Automatic setting of PID parameters (Auto-Tune function)

• 20 programmable steps, up to 18 h per step

• Display of current step, temperature, time and process status

• Relative or absolute alarm

• EEPROM memory saves parameters in case of power failure

• Parameter protection by code

• Optional sensor type: thermocouple (J, K, S) or Pt100

• Anti-reset function to prevent error accumulation

• Possibility to connect a Solid State Relay (SSR)
