Controller can be set up in one minute

The device is particularly suitable for packaging tray and bag sealers, textiles applications such as seam sealing and thermal bonding, and processes in the food and beverage sector including fryers, micro-breweries and chocolate tempering.

A unique button design, with the buttons at the left and right of the digits on the keypad, allows a 18mm upper digit height and a 10.2mm lower digit height in a 48mm high controller. The larger digits offer increased clarity and visibility from a distance to view vital process information and alarm messages that help monitor a system is running effectively. An 96x48mm unit is also available with 18mm upper and lower digits.

Measuring 67mm in depth, the MAXVU is easy to install. Users with compact machines will find that the improved access to the large rear terminals makes the device much easier to wire.

In addition, the controller includes a side configuration port, allowing users to connect to a graphic or the wizard-driven, user-friendly PC configuration software to further simplify set-up. This configuration can be saved to programme additional units.

Ian Collins, Product Manager and Strategic Account Manager, West Control Solutions, commented: “Overspecifying temperature controllers can cause unnecessary expense at initial purchase and, more significantly, a waste of resources in terms of set-up time and ongoing operation. By limiting the parameters that need to be set, the MAXVU simplifies configuration and increases efficiency for simple temperature control requirements.”
