IKA ETS-D5: a precision electronic contact thermometer for temperature control in laboratories
The ETS-D5 electronic contact thermometer from IKA is specially designed to provide a highly reliable temperature measurement and control solution for laboratory applications involving liquid media. This device stands out for its ability to maintain a precise temperature without exceeding the set value, even during rapid heating phases. This is made possible by an optimised PID control system that adapts the heating power to the bath conditions, ensuring constant thermal homogeneity without causing thermal shocks.
The stainless steel temperature probe (H62) in this model offers excellent thermal conductivity and remarkable corrosion resistance. Measurement is extremely accurate, with a resolution of 0.1 K and an accuracy of ±0.2 K, complemented by the PT1000 sensor tolerance in accordance with DIN IEC 751 Class A. In addition, the ETS-D5 allows maximum immersion of the probe up to 200 mm, making it compatible with a wide range of containers and volumes.
The ETS-D5 incorporates three patented operating modes developed by IKA, suitable for different experimental scenarios and specific control requirements. These modes optimise control depending on whether a fast response, maximum accuracy or prolonged stability is required. The RESET function allows the system to be restarted quickly and easily, saving valuable time during frequent handling.
To enhance user safety and protect the equipment, the device is equipped with an automatic thermal control shut-off mechanism that activates after three minutes if the probe is removed from the medium and not reinserted (error 5). This feature protects samples from accidental overheating due to a lack of thermal detection.
With a compact housing (82 x 83 x 22 mm) and a featherweight 200 grams, the ETS-D5 is particularly easy to handle and integrate into any compatible heating system or magnetic stirrer. Its compatibility with a 8 to 16 volt DC power supply, low operating current (15 mA) and IP54 protection against dust and splashes make it a robust and durable device, ideal for demanding environments.
The ETS-D5 from IKA combines reliability, precision and safety in an ergonomic and intelligent format, perfectly meeting the needs of laboratory professionals in the fields of chemistry, biology and pharmaceutical research.
