Heatcom PTDC Ex Thermostat IECEx Certified -60 to +200 °C
The Heatcom PTDC is a powerful explosion-proof electronic thermostat designed for precise temperature control in industrial applications and hazardous areas. With an exceptionally wide adjustment range of -60 to +200 °C, the controller is suitable for a wide variety of applications in electrical heat tracing, plant engineering and industrial temperature control.
The thermostat can be mounted either on a wall or directly on a pipe. The required stainless steel mounting brackets are already included in the scope of delivery and allow for a robust and practical installation even under demanding industrial operating conditions.
With a maximum current rating of 32 A at 240 V AC, the PTDC is also designed for higher-performance electrical heating systems. This makes it particularly suitable for controlling electrical heat tracing systems and self-regulating heating cables in industrial installations.
In addition to conventional temperature control, the PTDC features a Modbus RTU interface. This allows the thermostat to be integrated into higher-level control, automation or monitoring systems. An additional alarm output enables the signalling of corresponding operating or alarm conditions.
The robust enclosure has an IP66 protection rating and therefore provides a high level of protection against the ingress of dust and water. This makes the PTDC particularly suitable for industrial environments, piping systems, process plants and comparable applications with increased environmental requirements.
For use in hazardous areas, the Heatcom PTDC is IECEx certified. The Ex classification is Ex eb ib mb IIC T4 Gb…T3 Gb as well as Ex tb IIIC T135°C Db, covering applications in potentially explosive gas and dust atmospheres.
