TC Series

Economical single display type, PID control

Features
● Realizes ideal temp. controlling with newly developed
PID control algorithm and 100ms high speed sampling
● Built-in relay output or SSR output selectable
: Enables to phase control and cycle control
with SSR drive output(SSRP function)
● Dramatically increased visibility using wide
display part
● Mounting space saving with compact design
: Approx. 38% reduced size compared with
existing model(depth-based)
● SV/PV deviation indicatable

Sensor break alarm
The function that alarm output will be ON when sensor is not connected or when sensor's disconnection is detected during temperature
controlling. You can check whether the sensor is connected with buzzer or other units using alarm output contact. It is selectable between
standard alarm [ SBaA], or alarm latch [ SBaB].
