Description
Functions
The BELEKTRONIG benchtop temperature controllers of the BTC series are used to control heating or Peltier elements in a professional way. Their accurate temperature measurement up to 0.001°C combined with the extended PID-algorithm and the high-resolution output power allows a precise adjustment of even the smallest temperature deviations. All units of the series are built compact and robust and offer a high operating comfort and numerous additional functions.
Additional Functions
The controller features several built-in safety functions. In case of a detected defect, e.g. at a sensor or a short circuit the controller switches its output off automatically. Adjustable limitations allow the usage of many different types of Heating and Peltier elements. In addition, the controller can take over the fan control if required.
