Athena HC-187 PID Panel-Mounted Temperature Controller with Auto-Tune and Dual Output
Product Description
The Athena HC-187 Legacy 25 Series is a robust panel-mounted temperature controller designed for precise thermal regulation in laboratory and industrial process control. Featuring a 1/4 DIN form factor, this digital temperature controller supports full PID operation (P, PI, PD, PID) with auto-tuning, enabling optimized single-loop temperature control essential for bioprocessing and molecular diagnostics.
Key technical features include:
- Support for multiple sensor inputs including thermocouples, RTDs, voltage, and current signals, ensuring versatility across various temperature monitoring applications in biomanufacturing and synthetic biology workflows.
- Dual large digital LED displays provide simultaneous process and setpoint visualization for accurate monitoring.
- Rugged NEMA 4X dust and splash-proof front panel protects sensitive electronics in demanding biomedical engineering and clinical diagnostic environments.
- User-selectable ramp to setpoint functionality allows controlled temperature transitions critical in live-cell imaging and bioprocess temperature cycling protocols.
- Bumpless Auto/Manual transfer to ensure stable operation during manual overrides or autonomous control.
- Dual outputs including a relay output and alarm alert system optimize safety and integration with auxiliary equipment.
- Communication interfaces RS-232 and RS-485 permit seamless integration with laboratory automation and process control networks used in biotechnology research.
- Calibrated for 4 to 20 mA scalable input, supporting standard industrial signals widely adopted in bioprocess monitoring systems.
With a compact size of 10.0 x 7.0 x 5.0 inches and weighing just 1.63 kg, the HC-187 fits into existing setups as a standalone controller while offering high reliability suitable for molecular biology labs and biopharmaceutical production lines. Its capability to handle precise temperature control makes it essential for temperature-sensitive applications such as gene editing protocols and synthetic biology experiments.
Manufactured in the United States, this controller aligns with global standards (Harmonized Code 903210) for thermostats with automatic control, confirming its suitability for critical temperature regulation tasks in research and industrial biotechnology domains.
