The Newport 3040 Temperature Controller is a precision panel-mount instrument for accurate temperature monitoring and control in laboratory and industrial environments. It accepts multiple sensor input types—ten thermocouple varieties (J, K, T, E, R, S, B, C, N, J DIN), Pt RTDs (100, 500, or 1000 Ω with 385 or 392 curve compatibility), DC voltage, and DC current—making it adaptable across diverse thermal applications. The controller employs either On/Off or PID heat/cool control strategies with auto-tuning optimization and supports ramp-to-setpoint operation with timed soak periods. Dual configurable outputs accept relay, SSR, DC pulse, analog voltage, or analog current configurations. A large three-color programmable display responds to alarm triggers, while optional RS-232/RS-485 serial communication enables remote monitoring. Standard USB connectivity permits control via Newport’s LDD/TEC Application software or user-developed LabVIEW applications. The universal power supply operates on 90 to 240 Vac or accepts 24 Vac and 12 to 36 Vdc low-voltage options.
