WPI ATC2000 Animal Temperature Controller

ATC2000 is a low noise heating syste, for maintaining animal body temperature during experimental procedures. The DC heater is extremely quiet in terms of electromagnetic radiation. This is essential in electrophysiological recordigns which are very sensitive to electromagnetic interference.

The controller uses proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) technology in adjusting the DC voltage output. Compared with switched on/off type controllers, PID controllers provide a much more precise and stable control of temperature. The PID approach is also more immune to the variation of the experimental conditions such as change in animal size and unexpected disturbances.

Features:

• PID control for maximum temperature stability
• Low noise DC heater
• Three temperature sensor inputs
• Automatic shutdown if the plate reaches 45°C
