Carbolite 301 PID Furnace Controller

Carbolite 301 PID Furnace Controller

The Carbolite 301 PID is a high-precision furnace controller designed for laboratory and industrial applications requiring accuracy and reliability. It features a large, bright digital display housed behind a smooth, wipe-clean membrane, making it ideal for environments where hygiene and durability are critical.

This controller offers a single ramp to set point, allowing users to define the rate at which the furnace heats up to prevent thermal shock to sensitive samples.

Key Functionality & Timing

The 301 includes a versatile 99-hour process timer, offering two distinct modes of operation:

• Delayed Start: Program a specific wait time before the heating process begins.
• Countdown Timer: Set a specific duration for the furnace to remain at the set temperature before switching off.

Standard Features

• Industry Standard: The primary controller fitted to the majority of Carbolite laboratory furnaces and ovens.
• Precise PID Control: Uses Proportional Integral Derivative logic to ensure the furnace follows ramp rates and set points with minimal overshoot.
• User-Friendly Interface: Large, illuminated display ensures the temperature is clearly visible from a distance.
• Easy Maintenance: The smooth membrane panel protects against dust and spills and is easy to sanitize.

Customization & Safety Options

To enhance the safety of your laboratory operations, you can specify the following at the time of order:

• Over-Temperature Protection: This option adds a secondary, independent thermocouple and protection circuit. It features a variable set point to automatically shut down the furnace if a limit is exceeded, protecting both the heating elements and your valuable load.
• RS232/RS485 Communication: Depending on the model, digital communication ports may be available for data logging and remote monitoring.

By utilizing precise PID algorithms, the 301 controller ensures that your thermal processing is consistent, repeatable, and safe.
