Temperature Controls, sole SA agents for RKC, is offering its new range of high performance controllers, the FB Series.
The process controller has a more advanced Brilliant II PID, auto tuning, advanced tuning, selectable sampling cycle time of 0,05/0,1/0,25 second and 0,1% of accuracy in short depth housing.
This controller has a very short depth as a 1/8 or 1/4 DIN size controller. It was designed with a mounting bracket that allows close horizontal mounting of as many as six units. The FB Series Controller is easy maintenance, waterproof and dustproof, it has numerous inputs and outputs, user-friendly key-operation and display (direct function keys, large crystal clear 5-digit display, recipe function), temperature uniformity and stability, reinforced insulation, lead-free PCBs, low power consumption, easy setup and data monitoring via a standard data port.
