JUMO controller (PID)Optimum temperature stability through precise control The function of the microprocessor controller (PID) The devices in the EC, LS, QS, HP, BIO, HT and VIS product lines are equipped with the JUMO PID controller. The PID control parameters allow fast heating rates without overshooting and guarantee precise temperature control of the samples (see diagram). Calibration: If the temperature shown on the display deviates from the value measured in the heating block over time, it can be adjusted by the user using the calibration function. All heating blocks have a 4 mm sensor...

Temperature control using the example of an EC-1V metal block thermostat The diagram shows the exceptional performance of the JUMO controller using the EC-1V thermostat as an example. The PID control parameters are set at the factory to achieve a practical compromise between a fast heating rate and low temperature overshoot. The heating tray reaches the set temperature of +100°C after just 17 minutes. The heating block is initially heated up at full power during the heating-up phase. In the equalization phase, the heating is reduced to such an extent that the heating block reaches the set target...

LS thermostats are not "cheap heaters", but represent the low-cost alternative to BIO thermostats. In order to accommodate tight budgets, the mechanically very complex, solid aluminum heating tray has been dispensed with in favour of a mounted tray. Its base is also precision-milled to ensure good heat transfer to the heating blocks. Equipped with the JUMO controller (PID) and a wide range of heating blocks, the LS circulators are perfectly matched to the requirements of life science laboratories. HP thermostats +130°C/+210°C "High Performance" thermostats are equipped with a liquid-tight solid...
