The TC200 Heater Controller is a benchtop controller intended for use with resistive heating elements rated up to 18 W. This general-purpose instrument can drive various types of heaters, including foil (HT10K) and resistive coil (HT15W) types. The unit accepts feedback from either positive (TH100PT) or negative (TH10K) temperature coefficient thermistors, has programmable P, I, and D gains, and will display the temperature in either °F, °C, or K. In addition, the TC200 can be programmed for up to five sequential temperature settings along with associated ramp and hold times for each level. A user programmable maximum temperature limit provides protection to the device being heated and a user-programmable power limit protects the heating element from being over driven.

Capable of stand-alone operation from a simple keypad interface, the TC200 can be interfaced with a PC using a standard USB Type B connector using our TC200 Application Program, LabVIEW drivers, LabWindows drivers, or using a simple command-line interface from any terminal window.
