Model#: TD130A

Product Description:

This plug-n-play temperature controller is designed for applications such as beer fermentation or kegerator. It has one power output for cooling control and another for heating control. Utilizing both cooling and heating device control, refrigerators can be controlled at specific temperatures regardless of the environmental climate.
No wiring is required for this plug-n-play controller. User only needs to plug in the power cord from heater/cooler to the output sockets on the controller. Both the heating and cooling control modes make use of a simple on/off control. This controller is similar to the control mode of mechanical thermostat but with much higher precision due to the adjustable hysteresis band, precise temperature sensor and digital readouts. In addition, an anti-short function has been provided to protect the compressor from being cycling on/off during high pressure Freon. 
Unlike other two-stage temperature controllers with economic NTC/PTC thermistor sensors, TD130A uses a digital silicone bandgap sensor as a more reliable and accurate option for moist environments. These silicone bandgap sensors can be fully immersed in water over extended periods of time without any issues, and perform with more precision and uniform accuracy over an entire specific temperature range. 
One free hanging style sensor (2" sensor tip) is included in this listing. It has food grade silicone insulation cable, compared to PVC jacket used on most of other sensors on the market. Silicone is safer than PVC for food application, especially when immersed in solutions that contains alcohol because the flexible PVC contains plasticizer that is easier to leach out in alcohol. Silicone will also withstand higher temperature.

Note:
  • The controller can display temperature unit in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
  • Unlike the PID controller we sell, this on/off controller will not hold the temperature as tight if the system had very slow and delayed response. Some temperature overshoot is normal.
  • Either the heating or the cooling device is limited to 10 Amps. The output voltage is the same as the input voltage.  When the controller is plugged into 120V AC, the output will be 120VAC. If the controller is connected to 240 VAC, the output will be 240VAC also.
  • The input power plug is a US NEMA 5-15P plug. The output sock is US NEMA 5-15R.
