Dwyer Economical Temperature Controller, 110 V, °F

Description

Product Overview

The Dwyer Economical Temperature Controller 110V is engineered to provide reliable, accurate temperature regulation for a wide range of industrial applications. Built by COLE-PARMER, a trusted name in process control, this unit combines a clear digital display with an adjustable deadband, allowing users to fine‑tune temperature thresholds to match specific process requirements. A powerful 16 A SPST relay is integrated to handle loads up to a ¾ hp compressor, making it suitable for HVAC, refrigeration, and other temperature‑sensitive equipment. The controller includes a 5‑foot thermistor probe that offers quick response times and easy installation, while password protection and built‑in error messages help prevent accidental changes and ensure safe operation. Its compact design, weighing only 9.6 ounces, fits neatly into control panels without sacrificing performance.

Usage

This controller is ideal for manufacturers, plant managers, and maintenance technicians who need dependable temperature monitoring in environments such as food processing plants, chemical production facilities, and climate‑controlled warehouses. The 110 V power rating aligns with standard industrial power supplies, and the 16 A relay can directly drive compressors, fans, or heating elements without additional contactors. The thermistor probe’s 5‑foot length allows placement in hard‑to‑reach locations, ensuring accurate temperature readings even in large tanks or ducts. Users can set the deadband to reduce cycling, extending equipment life and improving energy efficiency. Password protection is especially valuable in shared facilities where multiple operators may adjust settings; only authorized personnel can modify critical parameters, reducing the risk of costly downtime.
