About Real Instruments REX-C100 PID Digital Temperature Controller Relay Output Thermostat, REX-C100
REX-C100 Temperature Controller can be used for vegetable greenhouse, domestic water tanks, aquarium, aquaculture and other temperature-controlled systems to control temperature This digital temperature controller have wide temperature measuring range 0-400 100% brand new and high quality ac 250v temperature controller, has PID self-identification function
Advanced Dual Display for Enhanced MonitoringThe REX-C100 features dual 4-digit LED screens displaying both the current process value (PV) and your selected set value (SV). This design allows users to continuously track real-time temperature data while monitoring desired targets, improving efficiency and reducing chances of error during operation.
Versatile Input CompatibilityCompatible with multiple input types, such as thermocouples (K, J, etc.) and PT100 RTD sensors, this controller covers a broad range of temperature monitoring needs. Its selectable outputs-relay, SSR, or voltage-ensure flexible integration with various heating or cooling mechanisms.
Reliable Safety and User-Friendly InstallationConstructed with flame-retardant ABS/polycarbonate, the housing offers safety critical for industrial environments. Panel mounting (45x45mm cutout) and screw terminals make installation straightforward, while the robust build withstands operational temperatures from 0C to 50C.
FAQ's of Real Instruments REX-C100 PID Digital Temperature Controller Relay Output Thermostat, REX-C100:
Q: How do I configure the input type on the REX-C100 PID temperature controller?
A: To configure the input type, access the controller's setup menu and select the corresponding code for your sensor, such as K-type thermocouple or PT100 RTD. Detailed steps are included in the manual, ensuring the controller accurately reads your specific temperature sensor.
Q: What is the benefit of using PID control over ON-OFF control in this device?
A: PID control delivers more precise and stable temperature regulation, significantly reducing overshoot and maintaining setpoints with minimal fluctuation. ON-OFF control is simpler but can result in more frequent cycling and temperature swings.
Q: Where can the REX-C100 controller be installed, and what are the mounting requirements?
A: The REX-C100 is designed for panel mounting and requires a 45x45mm cutout. Its compact size and screw terminal connections make it suitable for machine panels, laboratory equipment, or control cabinets in industrial environments.
Q: When should I select the relay output versus SSR or voltage output?
A: Choose the relay output for resistive loads or traditional heaters up to 250VAC, 3A. If you're controlling solid-state relays or require fast switching, select SSR or voltage output. The correct choice depends on your application's load type and response requirements.
Q: What is the process for setting a temperature setpoint and activating the alarm?
A: Press the set button to enter the desired temperature value (SV) using the arrow keys. Alarm settings can be configured through the menu, specifying thresholds and relay activation parameters. The alarm relay (250V 3A) will trigger if temperatures exceed set limits.
Q: How does the REX-C100 ensure safety during operation?
A: The controller's flame-retardant ABS/polycarbonate housing and reliable relay outputs enhance operational safety. Its alarm relay offers prompt response to abnormal temperature conditions, supporting preventive measures in critical applications.
