Do you have an existing bulb and capillary thermostat, and you'd like to replace it with digital controls having the same temperature specification?

The DTC-1 is the answer when considering replacing legendary bulb and capillary thermostats, with a reprogrammable digital thermal controller. Exhibiting faster response time, less over and undershoot temperature deviations, and superior reliability, the DTC-1 can control processes with greater precision and repeatability, which ensures your most consistent end-product, whether it is a food item, or a laboratory process.

Using a cabled temperature sensor, previous worries involving kinked tubes, or mispositioned bulbs causing calibration error, are relics of the past. Also, with no drift over the long term, there's no more guessing if your operational set points have moved over time.

Because the DTC-1 is fully programmable, your desired set points can be factory programmed, so it is a drop-in replacement. Additional programmed features include on-off hysteresis ranges, LED display behavior options, and high temperature alarm, and shutdown, which may be latching or non-latching events.

The user interface of the DTC-1 is highly customizable, and Degree Controls excels in quick and cost-effective custom development projects. Customers may swap knobs for membrane switches, or TFT display. Unlike bulb and capillary thermostats, the DTC-1 employs an LED display to display temperature data. The set point temperature is always displayed, and blinks hen the device is warming up, and is solid when at operating temperature.
