Glas-Col DigiTrol II Temperature Controller for Heating Mantles (PL612)
Engineered for precision and ease of use, the Glas-Col DigiTrol II (PL612) is our premier temperature controller, designed to give you unparalleled command over your heating applications. Its popularity stems from a robust feature set that ensures both accuracy and user-friendliness.
Advanced Temperature Control and Display The standout feature of the DigiTrol II is its clear, dual digital display, which allows you to monitor both the setpoint and the real-time process temperature simultaneously. This eliminates guesswork and provides instant feedback on your experiment's status. Powered by a microprocessor, the controller uses a sophisticated PID algorithm to maintain temperature with exceptional stability.
Key Features for Optimal Performance:
- Auto-Tune Function: This intelligent feature automatically learns the thermal characteristics of your specific setup (mantle, vessel, and contents). It fine-tunes the control parameters to minimize temperature overshoot and prevent thermal shock to your glassware and samples, ensuring a stable and efficient heating process.
- Ramp/Soak Programming: For processes requiring gradual temperature changes, the ramp rate function allows you to program controlled heating or cooling over a set period. This is crucial for sensitive chemical reactions or crystallization processes.
- Versatile Thermocouple Compatibility: While the unit ships with a durable Type J thermocouple (1/8" diameter x 6" long, 304 SS), it is also compatible with Type K and Type T probes, offering flexibility for various temperature ranges and applications.
- Safety and Convenience: The controller features a fused output for overcurrent protection and includes a 6-foot detachable power cord for easy setup. A lattice support bracket is also provided, making it simple to mount the unit inside a fume hood or on a lab frame, saving valuable bench space.
