Electrothermal MC5 230V and 800W Maximum Power 1-Way Heating Controlle

• 230V and 800W Maximum Power 1-Way Heating Controller
• Cost-effective control of resistive heating loads
• Provide manual control of uncontrolled heating mantles, tapes, and cords
• Compact – use on benchtop or mount to frame

There is a choice of 3 models of 1-Way Controllers which operate up to 800W (MC5), 1800W (MC242) or 2300W (MC227); MC228X1 operates up to a maximum of 1100W. These controllers can control one piece of laboratory equipment at a time, or an equivalent load, ie. on a CMUV22/L that has 3 elements, you can have an MC5 on each element.

Operates at up to 800W

The MC5 Controller has been designed to provide a complete answer in controlling the heating of resistive loads for benchtop operation. It delivers power up to a maximum of 800 Watts and is suitable for EM series Electromantles, CMU series Electromantles, Electric Bunsen, and Heating Tapes/Cords.

The MC5 Controller has 2 neon indicators; a “Power On” white neon light and a “Mantle/Bunsen Heater On” amber neon light. It has a regulator control knob that can be turned clockwise to increase power. As the knob is turned, the controller’s amber neon lamp will pulsate to show that power is being supplied to the equipment being controlled, e.g. mantle, heating tape, or cord. The pulse frequency will decrease as the regulator control knob setting is increased, and at the maximum setting, the amber neon will be continually illuminated.

A rod support clamp is provided at the rear of the controller to take a standard 12.5mm (½”) diameter rod. The MC5 has a short mains output lead with an IEC socket to connect it to the resistive load. An accessory extension mains lead is available where remote operation is required (e.g. in a fume extraction unit).
