Multiple transmitter and temperature controller KS 816
2 General
KS 816 is a microcomputer-based multi-loop temperature controller. Functions "set-
point reduction" and "heating/cooling with four alarms" make it particularly suitable
for temperature control on plastics processing machinery, heated moulds, packa-
ging machines, tempering units and similar thermal processes. With high-power
heating elements (e.g. in hot-runner moulds), the selectable functions “start-up cir-
cuit” and “output hold” in case of sensor break ensure increased element life and
prevent interruptions during production. The self-tuning feature guarantees very
short start-up times.
