Price without compromising quality. This is what TOHO claims is offered with its new CN-40 microprocessor-based digital temperature controller.
One of Japan's foremost suppliers of temperature and process controllers, TOHO is offering a 48 x 48 mm, microprocessor-based, dual display, PID controller with selectable inputs.
With a reputation for quality products, Japanese producers already command a high percentage of world sales for quality electrical products such as DVDs, cameras and computers.
TOHO believes that this expertise has reached the field of microprocessor-based digital temperature controllers, which includes its CN-40.
This fully programmable temperature controller has front panel selectable inputs, either PT100 resistance thermometer or any standard thermocouples, full self-tuning PID or ON/OFF control and a programmable alarm. Output selections are either relay or SSR drive.
The CN-40 is part of the TOHO family of control products available ex stock from local southern African agents, Temp-Tek. Other instruments include programmable profile temperature controllers that follow specific patterns, multipoint and continuous recorders and DIN size indicators and controllers, all of which are available from stock.
