MTC-20/2SD temperature controller

The MTC-20/2SD is a linear temperature controller, designed for heating only, particularly suited to electrophysiology and imaging applications.
It operates in analogue mode without switching artefacts, with a linear power supply and integrated electronic protections.
It features two internal sensors, digital displays and an adjustable PI controller to ensure accurate control.

Features of the MTC-20/2SD Temperature Controller

  • Linear control without switching artefacts
  • Heating only via resistive load
  • Two internal sensors (2252 Ω thermistors at 25 °C)
  • 3½-digit digital displays for temperature or output voltage
  • PI controller with adjustable gain and integration time
  • LIMITER potentiometer to set maximum output voltage (~12 V max)
  • Operating modes: SENSOR A, SENSOR B, DIRECT, EXT
  • Fail-safe (deactivation if sensor disconnected or short-circuited)
  • Short-circuit protection and current limitation
