UDC900 Digital Indicating Controller Specification

Overview
PV
The UDC900 Universal Digital
Controller is a microprocessor- 900
based, 1/16 DIN Temperature
controller with auto-tuning. This SP L
compact controller is available for RDY 900
either panel or socket mounting.
The large and easy-to-read EV1 EV2 OT SP1 RDY
displays and tactile keyboard
make the UDC900 easy to set-up
and operate. (Figure 1)
The UDC900 is fully dedicated to PARA
monitor and control temperatures
in a wide range of applications in
industries such as Plastics and
