Description

USB PID Temperature Controller, Recorder & Data Logger Box — 4 or 8 Channels

Please select the 4-channel or 8-channel model when purchasing this item.

Control, monitor, and record temperatures across 4 or 8 independent zones, each with its own temperature setpoint. This plug-and-play controller box includes a USB-to-RS485 converter, Windows software, and 4 or 8 K-type thermocouples rated for 0–1000°C (32–1832°F).

The thermocouples can be replaced with compatible sensors for different temperature ranges. The controllers offer selectable Celsius or Fahrenheit display units and configurable decimal points.

Computer Connection & Software

Connect the controller box to your computer using the included USB-to-RS485 converter. The software allows you to configure each channel and control, monitor, and record each zone separately. The computer connection can be extended up to 150 m.

Software features include:

Monitor and record temperatures at your preferred intervals.
View temperature graphs and export recorded data to Excel.
Change controller parameters on your computer and upload them to the controllers.
Save parameter settings for future use.
Adjust software settings to suit your reporting needs.

The software requires Windows. To use it on a Mac, you must run Windows.

Each channel has an independent PID temperature controller and setpoint. A user-friendly manual is included to guide setup and operation.
