Analog Thermostats

An analog thermostat is a panel-mount electronic temperature controller in which the desired temperature is set with a scaled knob on the front and which switches its output according to the measurement it receives from a thermocouple or PT100 probe. It is used in heating applications such as ovens, drying cabinets, packaging and plastic machines where the setting is to be made directly from the knob without entering a menu. The category includes the Enda AT411 and ATC9311 series and the GEMO AT961 and Tense AD-96 models; the product data lists J type, K type and PT100 sensor inputs, 48x48 mm and 96x96 mm housings, and 230 V AC and 10-30 V DC / 8-24 V AC supplies. Select the sensor input type by the probe you have, the scale range by your operating temperature, the supply voltage by the control voltage in the panel and the housing dimension by the mounting location in the panel. Some analog-adjustable models also show the measured value on a digital display; the Tense AD-96 is of this type. A panel-mount analog thermostat is not a room thermostat used for combi boilers or a mechanical thermostat with a capillary tube; it is an electronic device that works with a separate temperature probe.

How to choose Analog Thermostats

An analog thermostat is a panel-mount electronic temperature controller in which the desired temperature is set with a scaled knob on the front and which switches its output according to the measurement it receives from a thermocouple or PT100 probe. It is used in heating applications such as ovens, drying cabinets, packaging and plastic machines where the setting is to be made directly from the knob without entering a menu.

  • Separate sensing, motion control, logic processing and operator interface requirements.
  • Select signal type, supply voltage, communication protocol and I/O count for the machine network.
  • Verify housing size, sensing distance and PNP/NPN output polarity against the PLC input card.
