Watlow’s family of microprocessor-based temperature controllers offers an economical solution for applications that require simple, on-off control. Controllers are available in a broad range of packaging options, allowing selection of the best version for a specific application. They are available with or without an indicating display and can be ordered in a 1/8 DIN square panel mount, DIN-rail mount or open board design configuration.
The SERIES CF temperature controller incorporates a microprocessor design that delivers the repeatability, accuracy and performance advantages you can count on from Watlow’s basic temperature controllers. Fixed set points are available and an indicating display is an option. Operating set point temperature values can be specified in the product configuration part number.
SERIES CF controllers are UL® and C-UL® listed and carry CSA and CE approvals. Watlow’s temperature controllers include industry-leading service and support and are protected by a three-year warranty.
