TCAT-2 CONTROLLER 1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1.1 The TCAT-2 is a general purpose autotuning controller for a variety of laboratory applications. The TCAT-2AC provides two time-proportioning controlled AC outlets for the control of resistive loads such as heat lamps or warming blankets. It can also be adapted to many different types of load (maximum 500 Watts.) The TCAT-2LV provides a low voltage DC output for electrically sensitive applications where AC frequencies will interfere with monitoring devices.
