Ideal Vacuum Heavy Duty 20A, 2400W, Single Zone PID Heater Control System, 100-240 VAC, 1 Setpoint, RS485 Modbus
This Ideal Vacuum Heavy Duty, single zone 20A PID heater control system is designed to accurately measure and control the temperature of our conflat flange ThinBand nozzle heaters, Ideal Vacuum Cube heater plates, and other vacuum heater and chiller units in real time. The heater control operates at 100-240 VAC and can handle heaters up to 20A. The controller uses a type K thermocouple (sold separately).
Temperature is monitored either directly on the heater control's front panel, or via RS485/Modbus (DB9 female connector) remotely by a computer. Temperature is controlled by a user programmable set point. Two set point relays, wired through the DB9 connector, are available to activate other equipment (i.e., valve solenoids) when the set point is reached. These set point relays are rated for 1A maximum. The PID has many relay configurations which can be programmed according to the user ‘s requirements.
The control system is housed in a strong and attractive ¼ DIN brushed aluminum enclosure. Hardware is included for table top use or panel mounting. Cutout for ¼ DIN panel mounting is 92mm x 92 mm (3.62x3.62 in.).
Safety features include an over temperature audible alarm, and a thermal circuit breaker incorporated into the main power switch.
This Ideal Vacuum Heavy Duty heater control system includes a robust 12 gauge input power cable with a 5-20P (20A) plug. The package also includes a C19 power entry plug (male C19) for wiring to a heater. Additional C19 power entry plugs are available (P1011284) to connect to different heaters without rewiring. A splitter kit (P1011285) is also available (C19 male plug to dual C20 female connectors), which allows the simultaneous connection of two heaters to the system (2400W total @120 VAC, 4800W total @240 VAC).
Please see part number P1011963 for a 15A, 10 ft. long power Cord with NEMA 5-15P plug (standard 110V plug).
Note: This system may also be powered on 208/240 VAC (50/60 Hz). Heaters must be rated for the same voltage as the input voltage. At 240 VAC, the total allowable heater load is 20A (4800W). For 240 VAC use, the user must supply their own power cord.
