The new laboratory controller LR 16 is used mainly for temperature control of heatingplates, heating coils, tempering baths and warming ovens in laboratories and inproduction. The built-in single-setpoint controller with microprocessor meets all thenecessary technical requirements for an instrument of this kind. The standard featuresinclude programmable input and output variables, simultaneous digital setpoint andprocess value indication, self-optimisation, ramp functions (programme function with fourprofile segments), setpoint limitation and key inhibit. Only four keys on the splash-prooffront panel are used for operation, parameter setting and configuration. The space-savingplastic case with folding legs has the following dimensions: W=180mm,H=170mm,D=200mm.All the controls are built into the front panel, the push-on connectors for the operating inputs and the interface into the rear panel.
