Ideal Vacuum Heavy Duty 20A, 2400W, Single Zone PID Heater Control System, 100-240 VAC, 1 Setpoint, RS485 ModbusThis Ideal Vacuum Heavy Duty, single zone 20A PID heater control system is designed to accurately measure and control the temperature of our conflat flange ThinBand nozzle heaters, Ideal Vacuum Cube heater plates, and other vacuum heater and chiller units in real time. The heater control operates at 100-240 VAC and can handle heaters up to 20A. The controller uses a type K thermocouple (sold separately). Temperature is monitored either directly on the heater control’s front panel, or via RS485/Modbus (DB9 female connector) remotely by a computer. Temperature is controlled by a user programmable set point. Two set point relays, wired through the DB9 connector, are available to activate other equipment (i.e., valve solenoids) when the set point is reached. These set point relays are rated for 1A maximum. The PID has many relay configurations which can be programmed according to the user ‘s requirements. The control system is housed in a strong and attractive ¼ DIN brushed aluminum enclosure. Hardware is included for table top use or panel mounting. Cutout for ¼ DIN panel mounting is 92mm x 92 mm (3.62x3.62 in.). Safety features include an over temperature audible alarm, and a thermal circuit breaker incorporated into the main power switch. This Ideal Vacuum Heavy Duty heater control system includes a robust 12 gauge input power cable with a 5-20P (20A) plug. The package also includes a C19 power entry plug (male C19) for wiring to a heater. Additional C19 power entry plugs are available (P1011284) to connect to different heaters without rewiring. A splitter kit (P1011285) is also available (C19 male plug to dual C20 female connectors), which allows the simultaneous connection of two heaters to the system (2400W total @120 VAC, 4800W total @240 VAC). Please see part number P1011963 for a 15A, 10 ft. long power Cord with NEMA 5-15P plug (standard 110V plug). Note: This system may also be powered on 208/240 VAC (50/60 Hz). Heaters must be rated for the same voltage as the input voltage. At 240 VAC, the total allowable heater load is 20A (4800W). For 240 VAC use, the user must supply their own power cord. Please see the downloads for the PID Quick Start directions and controller manual.

Power Cord, NEMA 5-15P to IEC 320-C19, 10 Ft., SJT, 14 AWG, 15A, 1800W, used with Ideal Vacuum PID Heater Controller, P107361. This is a 10 ft. power cord with an IEC 320-C19 plug on one end (standard computer type power plug) and a NEMA 5-15P standard house type 120 VAC power plug on the other. The cord is 14 ga. and SJT rated (300V max). It can be used on any equipment that requires a C19 power plug, for example our PID Heater Controller, model P107361, for heaters that draw 15A or less, or on XDS35i scroll pumps.

Power Cord, NEMA 5-20P to IEC 320-C19, 7-1/2 Ft., SJT, 12 AWG, 20A, 2400W, for PID Heater Controller, P107361. This is a 7.5 ft. (2.3m) power cord with an IEC 320-C19 plug on one end and a NEMA 5-20P heavy duty (20A rated) 120 VAC power plug on the other. This cord will handle devices up to 2400W (20A). The cord is 12 AWG and SJT rated (300V max). It’s used on our PID Heater Controller, model P107361.

Spare Power Entry Plug, Male C20, Connects heater to Ideal Vacuum Heater Control Systems. This is a spare C20 power entry plug which connects a heater to the Ideal Vacuum Heater Control System (P107361). Using 12 gauge wire, these power plugs are rated for heater loads of up to 2400W at 120 VAC, and 4800W at 240 VAC. These spare C20 power plugs allow a user to pre-wire an additional heater. Users will enjoy the time savings and convenience of having multiple heaters prepped for use in systems requiring different configurations. Note: Heaters must be rated for the same voltage as the input voltage.

Splitter Kit for Using Dual Heaters with Ideal Vacuum PID Plug & Play Heater Control Systems, C19 Male Plug to two C20 Female ConnectorsThis splitter adapter kit allows two heaters to be connected simultaneously to the Ideal Vacuum PID Plug & Play Heater Control System. For systems requiring multiple heaters for better heat distribution, or in multiple locations, this is the solution. The splitter is rated for total heater loads of 20A@120 VAC (2400W) and 16A@240 VAC (3800W). The kit includes the block splitter connector and two C19 power entry plugs (P1011284).

USB 2.0 to RS-485 Cable Adapter with Terminal Block Changer. This cable connects to a USB 1.1 or higher port on a computer and provides a serial com port that can be configured to work with RS-485 devices. When connected to a USB 2.0 port it supports data transfer rates of up to 3 MBaud. No external power supply is needed. This adapter can plug directly into Ideal Vacuum’s Heavy Duty Heater Controller to provide programming and serial control without the use of the included breakout board. However, the breakout board can be used to regain access to the relay functionality. The breakout board may also be used with other devices that do not follow the same RS-485 DB-9 pinout convention.
