These units are designed for remote controlled applications on robotic and bench top systems using a PC. Any number of RIC20s can be used via the RS232 I/O port on each unit and PC serial ports. Complex temperature/time profiles created by the user can be run by leaving the computer attached to the RIC20. Any number of units can be set to any single temperature via a single computer serial port. The unit(s) will continue to run the temperature instructed until told otherwise. The computer can then be used to instruct the next RIC20. The RIC20 Series are compact and designed to take up as little bench space as possible. The units measure 6.5" (165 mm) long by 4.75" (120 mm) wide by 3.5" (89 mm) tall without a sample block.
