The vertical 1/8 DIN Watlow Series 982 ramping temperature controller and its companion, the
horizontal Watlow Series 981 ramping temperature controller, offer four-file / 24-step program
capability or easy-to-use non-ramping setpoint operation. Designed with most typical programming
needs in mind, the Watlow Series 981 / 982 ramping temperature controller is among the most
easy-to-use ramping controllers.
Ramping operations include four files with six steps in each file. The Watlow Series 981 / 982
ramping temperature controller's programming options include ramp-rate or time-based profiles,
guaranteed soak deviation, program looping, and program status selection after power outage.
The files may be linked to create a single 24-step program.
The Watlow Series 981 / 982 ramping temperature controller's primary analog input accepts 11 different
thermocouple types, RTD or scalable process inputs. A second analog input can be factory configured
for slidewire feedback input common in gas valve control. With up to two event inputs, the Watlow Series
981/982 ramping temperature controller offers remote program start or hold capability and allows the
operator to program a wait-for event.
The Watlow Series 981 / 982 ramping temperature controller is packaged with a NEMA 4X front panel to
withstand harsh environments, a four inch case depth, and touch-safe wiring terminal.
