New Cost Effective, Space Saving, Dual Zone Temperature Controller for Runnerless Molding Applications

Athena Controls, Inc., an industry-leading manufacturer of temperature/process controllers, temperature sensors and related accessories, has announced availability of their new Series RMT microprocessor-based dual zone temperature controller for runnerless molding applications.

Specifically designed to provide two zones of control per slot, the controller accepts Type J thermocouple, and effectively doubles the zone count per module without doubling the price. Key features include two easy-to-use operator keypads, four LED displays, and discrete indicators for heat output, alarm, degree of F/C indication, manual and closed loop mode.

Added features include bumpless auto/manual transfer; a CompuStep® bake out feature to prevent moisture at startup; built-in loop break for open heater, shorted triac, reversed or shorted thermocouple; open thermocouple break protection with jumper-selectable shutdown or average power output based on operation; preset alarms at 30°F (17°C); SafeChange(TM) "hot swap" feature that allows safe removal and replacement of module, and CE compliance.
