PROTHERM 470, 510, 610, 710

UNIVERSAL PROGRAMMABLE PROCESS CONTROLLERS

Protherm controllers feature an all advanced process controller and a full-color display with customizable graphics. Models are available with an industrial touch screen interface, or an advanced control knob interface for dirty applications or where operators wear gloves. Detailed PID tuning features including multiple PID sets allow tuning of even the most dynamic control loops. Available as a stand-alone “Light Solution”, or as part of a control retrofit. Custom applications are also available. Installations are done on new or refurbished furnaces and are used for updating existing systems.
