Temperature Controller for controlling solenoid valves for steam heating or water pumps

Temperature Controller Plating
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER TC-1

 TEMPERATURE ALARM FEATURES

  • Compact enclosure – only 6×6 inches.
  • Snooze alarm built in. (30 minutes)
  • Silence from the front button. (no need to go into submenus)
  • Loud 103dB buzzer volume will not be missed.
  • Waterproof enclosure. (IP65)
  • Alarm exemption for the first alarm on power-up available.
  • Thermocouple lengths in stock up to 60 ft.
  • Can also be configured to accept a level probe for low liquid level alarms.
  • 4-20mA output included.

COMPACT, FULL OF FEATURES

Easy to install and operate temperature controller designed specifically for small loads like solenoids and hot water circulation pumps.  Includes a built-in alarm if the temperature ever strays out of range. 

Many options make this such a versatile unit:

  • data logging using the 4-20mA output. This can be on a “stick” inside the unit or wired to your computer. 
  • Level control and alarms.
  • Communications using WIFI. Send alarms to text messages and email.
  • Timer to automatically turn on and off on a schedule.

OPERATION

Furthermore, the alarm must reset automatically when the alarm condition is cleared.  And lastly, all this has to be in a corrosion proof enclosure.

If there is a temperature alarm, the buzzer sounds and the LED flahses red.  The buzzer can be silenced with the front button.  It will sound again after 30 minutes in the default behavior, although this can be disabled. When the temperature returns to the normal operating range, the stack light indicates green again. 

TEMPERATURE ALARM SET UP

We set up the important parameters so you can test it right out of the box. The only parameters you need to set are the temperature set point, and the alarm points. Other than this all you need to do is:

  • Mount the enclosure on the wall.
  • Mount the thermocouple in the thermowell (provided)

The default temperatures are even set to 70-80ºF so you can bench test it immediately. 

THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Our K type thermocouple is sheathed in braided stainless steel, which is protected inside a PFA outer sleeve for its entire length, which makes it immune to almost any chemical, and immune to electrical noise.

If you want to use a sensor other than the K thermocouple we provide, then the temperature control module accepts 29 different types of sensor inputs.

ALARMS

When an alarm sounds on the TC-1, it is conveniently silenced by using the front push button. If the temperature is still out of range 30 minutes later, the buzzer will sound again. (this is the default behavior which can be easily changed).  For tanks with long heat-up times where you don’t want to silence every 30 minutes there is a “first alarm exemption” which will ignore the fact that the tank is cold. When the tank temperature climbs into range, then the unit is “set” and will produce an alarm if the temperature ever strays out of the set temperature limits. 

THE THERMOWELL 

Most suppliers of temperature equipment are content to sell you a box and walk away. We take responsibility for the success of the system which includes secure positioning of the thermocouple.  The only way to do this is with a thermowell fastened to the tank. This is so important that we include it with every temperature product.  This includes a 12″ thermowell and mounting plate.
