SERIES 96

NEMA 4X (IP65) Watlow’s SERIES 96 is a powerful
1 �
16 DIN dual display controller thatoffers many advanced functions. This controller can be tailored toperform hardware and softwareneeds with hardware modules that are plugable and exchangeable, and software menus that may be user programmed to fit exactapplication requirements.With one universal input, a secondauxiliary input and four outputs the SERIES 96 can be programmed toperform: temperature measurement, input event switching, remote set point input, heating, boost heating,cooling, alarms, digital communica-tions and retransmit.With fast 10Hz sampling, variabletime base burst firing outputs, NEMA 4X front panel and 0.1 percent calibration accuracy, this controller can easily handle some of thetoughest application needs. Features and Benefits Burst fire •Increases heater life / bettertemperature controllability One input, one auxiliary input, fouroutputs •Powerful flexibility at a competitiveprice
