IKA IC control: high-performance immersion thermostat for precise temperature control
The IC control from IKA is a versatile laboratory device designed to ensure rigorous and reliable temperature control in a wide variety of applications. Operating in a wide range from ambient temperature to 250°C, it is suitable for both heating and maintaining liquids at specific temperatures in open or covered baths. Thanks to its ergonomic design and innovative features, this equipment fits perfectly into research, analysis and production environments.
This immersion thermostat features a WiCo wireless controller, which allows intuitive control of the device from a distance of up to 10 metres. This remote management capability is particularly useful for working safely, especially in confined environments such as closed hoods or installations requiring limited access. The colour TFT display provides a clear and detailed readout of all essential parameters such as temperature, liquid level, pump speed and safety temperature, ensuring real-time monitoring and ease of use.
The IC control's regulation system is based on advanced PID technology, which provides exceptional thermal stability with an accuracy of ± 0.01 K . This performance makes it ideal for sensitive experiments where consistent thermal conditions are essential. Switching from internal to external temperature control is done with a single action, thanks to a simple and efficient user interface.
Equipped with a combined pressure and suction pump, the IC control provides homogeneous mixing and adjustable flow rates as required, with a maximum capacity of 31 litres per minute. This flexibility makes the device suitable for internal or external applications requiring dynamic fluid circulation. Its standardised connections (M16x1) and cooling coil connections (NW 8) facilitate integration with various systems and water baths of different volumes.
Safety is central to the design of this thermostat. The IC control has a safety circuit that can be adjusted up to 260°C, as well as visual and audible alarms to signal any anomalies. It is DIN 12876 class III FL certified, ensuring safe use even with flammable liquids. Protection against low and high levels ensures peace of mind during prolonged use of the device.
Thanks to its USB and RS232 interfaces, the IC control can be connected to a computer for easy monitoring and documentation via the labworldsoft® software. Software updates can also be carried out directly from the manufacturer's website, ensuring that the device always benefits from the latest improvements. Compact and lightweight, it is easy to install and can be securely fixed in place thanks to its stainless steel bridge, which is compatible with different bath sizes.
This thermostat is the obvious choice for professionals looking for a reliable, accurate and easy-to-use tool for temperature control. Its careful technical design, combined with a modern and intuitive user interface, delivers optimal performance while maintaining a high level of safety and ease of use.
