Genlab Bench Top PID Temperature Control Stations

Genlab’s latest universal bench top PID Stations are popular among laboratory technicians, R&D engineers, and thermal engineers who want the latest PID controllers housed in an easy to operate and safely packaged solution. Using Genlab's advanced digital controllers for both closed loop PID control with an integral safety control loop monitoring the status of the controller and process loops.

Using the same features as our advanced industrial ovens, these PID stations allow users to simply connect to any heater load up to 2KW. Simply plug the PID stations into a standard 3 pin wall socket, then connect in your heater using the supplied universal connection, connect the 2 temperature sensors to your load and you’re ready to go. With advanced PID technology derived from Genlab’s industrial oven range, you’ll achieve precise, stable temperature control of any heating load. If the safety sensor is removed or the process is getting unexpectedly too warm, the station will go into an alarm mode. In alarm mode power to the heat source is isolated until it returns to a safe temperature and the operator presses the reset button.

The units come complete with a standard IEC lead making it compatible globally. With some of the most advanced PID firmware available in today’s market, these bench top stations will provide you with excellent temperature control, reduced overshoot and great stability, yet are designed to be simple to operate. Rear mounted earthing points are also installed for 2 wire heater loads.

Design

The PID stations can be tailor made to suit customer needs. As standard, the units are made with a main control loop and an overheat safety controller. Each controller uses its own type K sensor via the mini panel sockets. Any heater load can be connected via the IEC plug supplied and the LED indicates when power is being applied to the heat load.

The units come with a standard IEC lead making it compatible globally to connect to any standard plug socket. It also comes with a universal plug (supplied loose) to connect any style of heater. Rear mounted earthing points are also installed for 2 wire heater loads.

Everything you Need Included

Each unit comes fully equipped for immediate use:

• 2 × PID controllers (1 Control, 1 Overheat)
• 2 × Type K welded tip sensors (up to 250°C)
• 2m IEC power lead with standard 3-pin plug
• Universal C20 connector for heater connection
