Temperature Controller
This quad channel thermocouple con-
troller is ideal for numerous industrial
temperature applications. It accepts di-
rect sensor input from all common ther-
mocouple types.
One of the key features of this controller
is its ability to average the inputs across
2, 3 or 4 temperature channels, and use
this averaged value for a display source
or for setpoint activation.
