CBC 5 basic – High-performance circulator thermostat for precise temperature control
The CBC 5 basic from IKA is a temperature control device designed to meet the demanding requirements of laboratories. Capable of operating over a wide temperature range from -25 °C to +200 °C, it is particularly suitable for external applications requiring precise and stable control. Its speed-controlled combined pressure/suction pump ensures efficient circulation of thermal fluids, optimising heat exchange in connected systems.
This circulator thermostat benefits from high-quality insulation, which not only allows for fast temperature rise times but also limits unwanted heat input when the unit is operating at low temperatures. Thanks to a clear and easy-to-read LED display, users can continuously monitor critical parameters such as pump speed and temperature.
The safety of the CBC 5 basic is enhanced by several integrated features: an adjustable safety circuit, visual and audible alarms, and protection against excessive or insufficient temperatures. These features ensure reliable operation in sensitive environments. The device is also equipped with USB and RS232 interfaces, facilitating connection to software such as labworldsoft® for management, monitoring and comprehensive documentation of operating parameters.
Designed for intensive use, the CBC 5 basic has a filling volume of 5 to 7 litres and a minimum bath depth of 150 mm. Its robust and compact construction, combined with a low-noise fan, makes it a discreet but powerful tool in any workspace. The device complies with international standards such as DIN 12876 and has an IP21 protection rating, certifying its reliability even under standard laboratory conditions.
With its adjustable pump system, multiple calibration options and efficient cooling capabilities (up to 350 W at 20 °C), the CBC 5 basic is an essential tool for operations requiring precise temperature control. Its easy integration into automated processes, thanks to compatibility with NAMUR controls and online software updates, makes it the equipment of choice for professionals seeking performance and versatility.
