An integrated package that monitors temperature, current, voltage
and pressure during operation of the QUICKpress, the temperature
control unit is simple to operate and offers a wide range of
safety features. A microprocessor-based interface monitors temperature
and adjusts voltage output of a high-current phase-angle fired
thyristor to control heating rate, cooling rate, or set-point
temperature. The AC output powers either resistive or inductive
loads. Instant switching between any standard thermocouple type
is possible. Part Number TC-1
