THE TCAT-2 ANIMAL TEMPERATURE CONTROLLERS FROM PHYSITEMP

The new TCAT-2 family of general purpose PID autotuning controllers provides accurate temperature control in a variety of laboratory applications.

  • High accuracy and resolution for temperature control applications
  • Controls heating blankets, heat lamps, or heating pads
  • Can be used for both heating and cooling applications
  • Secondary feedback sensor provides true temperature control

THE TCAT-2 ANIMAL TEMPERATURE CONTROLLERS

Accuracy - Resolution - Control

Resolution ± 0.1°C and Accuracy ± 0.5°C across all models

Control range of -100 to +400°C

Control range of -100 to +400°C

Advanced Temperature Feedback & Display

Secondary feedback sensor allows true temperature monitoring

Dual display of Set and
Run temperatures

Primary feedback sensor prevents temperature exceeding 43°C (TCAT-2DF and TCAT-2LV models).

Temperature Controller Range & Versatility

Precise temperature control and feedback sensing - designed for use with any size animals - compatible with multiple probes and pads

TCAT-2AC:
Model for use with AC powered heating or cooling devices, such as a heat lamp.

TCAT-LV:
Model provides a low-voltage DC output for electrically sensitive applications.

TCAT-2DF:
Model has both an AC outlet for controlling primarily resistance loads such as heat lamps and AC powered warming blankets -- and a low-voltage low-noise DC output for heating pads.

Accessories

Precise temperature control and feedback sensing - designed for use with any size animals - compatible with multiple probes and pads
