Equipment overview · Two-channel laboratory controller

Controlled heating.
Two independent channels.

The Heating Rate Controller provides programmable temperature regulation for two resistive heaters supplied by separate external DC sources. Each channel has its own Omron controller, temperature sensor, enable controls, voltage indication and heater connections.

What the equipment does

Temperature and programme control

Each Omron E5CC-T reads a connected temperature sensor and follows a selected temperature programme. Programmes can include target temperatures, controlled ramps and holding periods. Actual heating performance depends on the heater, specimen and power supply.

Independent DC heating circuits

Each external DC source connects to its channel's PSU IN sockets and a resistive heater connects to HEATER OUT. A separate enable and switching circuit controls the heater positive path. Both channels share the enclosure's mains-derived control supply.

The electrical values above are design limits, not verified load ratings or permission to operate at full load. The actual fit, protection and commissioning status must be confirmed for each installation.

Front-panel functions

Controls and indications

CONTROL selector: switches channel control power. Omron display: measured process value (PV), setpoint (SP) and programme settings. ENABLE pushbutton: commands the channel's heater-enable circuit. Amber HEAT ACTIVE lamp: indicates enabled heater demand; it is not a heater-current measurement.

Connections

TC INPUT: Type K temperature-sensor connection in the current reference arrangement. DC VOLTS: measures the corresponding external supply input. PSU IN (+/−): upper DC connector pair. HEATER OUT (+/−): lower pair. Channel and polarity markings must be checked before connection.

From programme to test

1

Prepare

Confirm equipment authorisation, approved test, suitable sensor, isolation and correct channel connections.

2

Programme

Select a stored Omron programme or prepare ramp and hold stages using the offline tools.

3

Operate

Follow the controlled operating procedure for safe supply energisation, ENABLE and deliberate Omron RUN.

4

Stop and record

RESET, disable, isolate the external DC supplies, allow cooling and record observations.

This is an orientation only, not an abbreviated replacement for the 23-step SOP or any local safety approval.

Equipment status and safe use

Important: engineering release remains open. Although the enclosure is complete and both channels have been reported functional, independent electrical commissioning evidence has not been supplied. The external input-wire fuses specified for both Murata voltmeters are absent. The wiring references and this guide are not evidence of safe live operation. Resolve PV-FUSE-01 and all required local inspections before use.
