Key Features
5 dimensions optional
We can produce instruments in 5 sizes: 48*48 mm, 48*96 mm, 72*72 mm, and 96*96 mm, to meet your various needs.
100 ms sampling time
Our TCX5 controller has a sampling time of up to 100 milliseconds, enabling more precise temperature control.
Advanced PID Control
This TCX5 temperature controller uses a state-of-the-art PID algorithm to precisely control the temperature.
Easy auto-tuning
The auto-tuning function of our TCX5 allows you to easily set PID parameters without manual adjustment.
Easy-to-use operation
We’ve rewritten the internal program to allow you to easily set each parameter, simplifying the operation and making it easy to use.
℉ / ℃ switchable
This temperature controller can display temperatures in Fahrenheit or Celsius, and can be used and sold no matter which country you are in.
Multiple operating voltages
The operating voltage can be selected from AC 100-240V or DC 24V, so you can use it freely whether you have an AC power supply or a DC power supply.
PID or ON OFF control
Two control modes are available: PID for precise temperature control and ON/OFF for low-frequency temperature control.
Larger and Clearer LED Display Technology
Compared to traditional 1.2 mm wide digital tube indicators, the Lorentzzi® TCX5 PID temperature controller uses an LED indicator to display values, with an indication width of 2.0 mm, making it clearer for users.
More advanced PID algorithm
Lorentzzi® TCX5 temperature controller uses a more advanced PID algorithm to precisely control the temperature, ensuring a temperature control error of less than ±0.1 degrees Celsius. It also features a built-in self-tuning function, eliminating the need for manual adjustment of individual PID parameters.
Real Universal Input
The Lorentzzi TCX5 PID temperature controller’s input is not limited to traditional thermocouples and RTDs; its input signals can also be 4-20 mA, 0-5 VDC, or 1-5 VDC analog signals, so you can confidently use it with valves or temperature transmitters.
Heating & Cooling Free Switching
The Lorentzzi TCX5 PID temperature controller can be used for both heating and cooling control, so whether you want to use PID control to control the heating elements in an HVAC system or cooling control to control a compressor, you can easily use this temperature controller.
Quick Relay/SSR Output Switching
The controller defaults to relay output mode. To switch to SSR output, simply press the ▼ and ▲ keys simultaneously for 3 seconds. The display will show rLY for relay(can be used to control DC to AC SSRs, AC to AC SSRs or contactors) or SSr for SSR, eliminating the need for hardware changes.
Advanced Soft-start function
When a heating system is first put into operation, the current power output (PV) is much lower than the setpoint (SV), while the output power (OUT) reaches 100%. In some industries, this can seriously threaten the lifespan of the heating system, especially when the system frequently jumps from a low temperature to full power instantaneously.
A soft-start time range limits the output power to 25%, which acts as a buffer and extends the lifespan of the heating system.
Laser Printing
On the side parameter section, we use a laser printer to print the logo, wiring diagram, and specifications to facilitate maintenance and replacement after long-term use.
