1.0 Introduction

The H-3185B controller (Figure 1) uses on-off control of heating and cooling

devices to cycle between two temperatures. It can be set to cycle between

two temperatures for a finite number of cycles and then stop. When set to run

for a finite number of cycles, ramp rate between temperature extremes can be

adjusted as well as soak duration at each temperature extreme. The controller

is programmed to cycle from 40°F to 0°F when set to run in cycle mode. The

controller is designed to be wall mounted near the Freeze/Thaw machine and

runs on 125VAC power. The controller also utilizes a temperature chart recorder

with circular chart paper for tracking and documenting the test cycles. A J type

thermocouple is also supplied with the controller.
