Hawco Controls, the specialist supplier of industrial automation and control solutions, temperature management and circuit protection devices, has published its latest Quick Pick focus product guide
With an accuracy of +/- 0.5 C to +/- 0.09 C over a temperature range of -10 C to 125 C or +28 C to 400 C, depending on the model chosen, the ETC series is designed for use when time is the major factor and the highest accuracy is not so critical.
A heat-up and stabilisation time of only three minutes enables a dual point test routine to be completed in under 10 minutes.
The ETC incorporates the standard Jofra RS232 communication interface and Amecal-Light calibration software, which come installed, ready to use.
The heating block incorporates a novel design where the pre-drilled insertion holes for the temperature devices on test are located around a highly efficient element.
Unlike other calibrators there is no removable insert tube so reducing bulk and speeding heat -up time.
There are two models in the series; the ETC 400A designed for optimum speed and stability and the ETC125A, which at an entry-level price is a simple and effective temperature checker, also suitable for below ambient temperatures such as air conditioning.
The easy to use controls incorporate one-key, one-function, so providing fast operation and doing away with the need for complicated menus.
For the first time high accuracy temperature verification comes at the price of a good quality multimeter.
