The K1B customizable controller begins with the simplicity of its operator interface. Functions are easily accessed without complex navigation procedures. The auto-ranging display provides a compact easy to read display and precision where it's needed.

An integral timer function is available in the K1B that provides timed control of a heating or cooling cycle. An audible option is available to indicate the end of the timer cycle. During a timed heating or cooling cycle the display indicates time remaining. Configurable timer options include, guaranteed soak, ramp rate control and temperature hold or reset at end of timer cycle.

The K1B offers a 2-point calibration system that automatically compensates for differences between the indicated and true system temperature caused by thermal gradients between heating and cooling sources and cabinet insulation. The built in calibration procedure calculates true temperature values over the operating range of the equipment from 2 reference calibration points. Designed for use by manufacturing and service personnel this feature follows an easy to use automated step-by-step sequence.

Direct connection between the K1B and a PC is possible using the CPI adaptor. The CPI allows easy connection between the built in configuration port and the PC's serial port. Eurotherm's iTools Engineering Studio simplifies configuration by providing an intelligent method for complete instrument set-up via PC. The iTools Engineering Studio software also provides the facility to save and copy complete instrument configurations.
