Overview
Introduction
With one universal input, a second auxiliary input and four outputs, the Series 96 can be
programmed to perform temperature measurement, input event switching, remote set point
input, heating, boost heating, cooling, alarms, digital communications, ramp and soak, and
retransmit. These features make this controller ideally suited for applications involving
plastics, packaging, semiconductor, food processing and lab equipment.
Set point ramping operations include two files with eight steps in each file. The files may be
linked to create a single 16-step profile for varying ramp and soak needs.
With fast 10hz sampling, burst firing outputs, NEMA 4x front panel, and 0.1 percent accu-
racy, the Series 96 can easily handle some of the toughest application needs. The Series 96
is manufactured by ISO 9001-registered Watlow Winona with reliability backed by a three-
year warranty.
