This plug-and-play temperature controller can be used for controlling the temperature of application that needs very high precision such as incubators, aquariums and biological experiments equipments. It can also be used for controlling the temperature of rice cookers for sous-vide cooking. To operate, plug the heater (or lamp) to the socket of the controller on the back, drop the sensor into the container, and turn on the power of controller.
This controller is essentially the same as our standard sous vide controller, WS-1500ES with the following differences. It has a higher resolution, (0.1° C or 0.1 ° F) and higher accuracy. The accuracy is guaranteed to be within +/- 0.1 ° C (or 0.2 ° F) for the range from 0.0 to 85 ° C ( 32.0 to 185.0 ° F). It has narrower temperature control and display range of -50 to200.0°C (or -58.0 to 392.0 ° F). It has six programmable temperature control steps, each step can be set from 0 to 9999 minutes with different temperatures.
Application examples:
1) Holding the temperature of an 45 litter ice cooler at 37.0 °C with a 40 watts light bulb
2) Holding the temperature of an rice cooker at 64.5 °C for making the "perfect egg".

Notes for customers outside North America:
- The "universal" output socket accepts either US power cord or the European CEE 7/7 cord.
- For European customers, we will ship the controller with European CEE 7/7 power input cord.
- For other countries, a US power cord is included. User can splice the connector of the cord to a power strip outlet that meets the local standard for the output. For the input, the controller has standard IEC 320 C13/14 socket. User can use a computer power cord that meets the local standard to power it.
- For countries that use 220-240VAC power line, the maximum control power of this controller is 2400 Watts.
