EchoTherm RIC20 Series Remote Controlled Chilling/Heating Dry Baths

These units are designed for remote controlled applications on robotic and bench top systems using a PC. The RHB20 is very compact and designed to take up as little space as possible. The units measure 5.375"(136.5 mm) long by 3.50"(88.9 mm) wide by 2.00"(50.8 mm) tall without a sample block. Any number of RHB20™s can be used via the RS232 I/O port on each unit and any available PC serial ports. Any number of units can be set to any single temperature via a single computer serial port. The unit(s) will continue to run the temperature instructed even when the PC is disconnected and used to instruct another unit.Offered as accessories is the broadest variety of precision-made aluminum sample blocks available anywhere for standard

A heating and chilling dry block unit for use with remote control in robotic systems or on the bench top.

The EchoTherm RIC20 was designed for use in robotic systems. As such it is a small and self contained unit and comes with an RS232 cable for connecting it to a PC via serial port.

The serial command set is provided with the unit to give the user all the information needed to control it. Any number of RIC20 units can be connected to a PC using any of the available serial ports on the computer. After the unit has been instructed to go to a temperature it can be disconnected - it will retain the instructions until told otherwise.

As the unit heats of chills toward the target temperature, the LED on the unit will flash. When the flashing stops and the LED is constantly lit the unit is stable at the target temperature.

Complex time/temperature profiles can also be programmed via computer and software generated by the user. To run such profiles the unit must remain connected to the computer.
