Description:
The PID temperature controller model ADN-PID-120V2A is designed for using with an AC-powered heating pad AC-16W120V-0812 or AC-50W120V-1215 (sold separately). This controller offers high sensitivity and precision with t-type thermocouple sensor. It comes with a rectal temperature probe suitable for both mice and rats. The controller is equiped with a data logger, which can store measured temperature in a text file on a microSD card. It also provides a PC connection port for realtime monitoring and save measured data directly to PC. An operational instruction and user's manual will be provided with the package.

Performance curve:

Figure 1. shows a typical temperature monitoring result, which was obtained using the default PID settings and connected to heating pad AC-16W120V-0812, and the temperature sensor was placed in the center of the heating pad and covered with a piece of paper towel, the target temperature was set to 37.50 Celsius degree. The PID controlling process became stabilized quickly, and the heating pad temperature was maintained within a tight range of +/- 0.10 Celsius degrees.
