Watlow’s Series 104 is an economical open board, on-off
temperature controller with a thermocouple or RTD sensor
input. Installation and setup of the control is simple and
easy.
The Series 104 offers setpot options including integral
or fixed set point. Factory selectable options include electromechanical relay, SSR or switched dc output, dual scale,
and heat or cool control mode.

Control Mode
• On-off
• Nominal switching hysteresis, typically 3°F (1.7°C)
Operator Interface
• LED indication of output status
• Dial scale calibrated to compensate for sensor non-linearities

• Dual temperature scale (°F and °C)
• Fixed set point
• Manufactured to specified value
Input
• Thermocouple or platinum RTD available
• Thermocouple with automatic cold junction compensation
• Thermocouple may be isolated or grounded

opto-isolated, zero cross switching
• Switched dc signal provides a non-isolated minimum turn-on voltage
of 3VÎ (dc) into a minimum 500Ω load, maximum on voltage not
greater than 32VÎ (dc)
• Electromechanical relay, 8A, Form C, SPDT: 8A @ 240V~ resistive,
8A, 28VÎ (dc) resistive, 240V~ 275 VApilot duty rated
