over the full useful temperature range of the MTD Systems. The Model 330 features both
AutoTuning and manual PID temperature controlling modes, SoftCal™, dual sensor inputs,
RS-232C, and IEEE-488 Computer Interfaces. The Model 330-11 is recommended for use with
MTD Models 150, 154, and 158. Please consult the Lake Shore Product Catalog for
configuration, options, and accessory details.
330-11-W50
Model 330 Autotuning Temperature Controller with 50W Heater Output. Same as the Model
330-11 but with 50 watt heater output. The Model 330-11-W50 is recommended for use with the
MTD Models 140 and 144. Please consult the Lake Shore Product Catalog for configuration,
options, and accessory details.
1015
Warm-Up Power Supply. The Model 1015 provides up to 80 watts of heater power on each of
two channels to warm up both the first (cold finger) and second (radiation shield) stages of the
MTD System to room temperature for rapid sample turnaround. Independent temperature control
loops are provided for each channel so that each stage may be monitored and shut down
automatically when it reaches room temperature. Two different power supply levels are available
to each channel, supplying a low range of 25 watts or a high range of 80 watts into a 25 Ω load.
The Model 1015 is recommended for use with Models MTD-150, -154, and -158. Please consult
the Lake Shore Product Catalog for configuration, option, and accessory details.
