The Perkin Elmer TAC 7 Instrument Controller is a microprocessor-based control module that interfaces with and manages Perkin Elmer’s 7 Series thermal analysis systems. It functions as the primary link between a computer and thermal analysis modules, delivering centralized control over all system functions. The controller employs a high-speed microprocessor architecture and incorporates continuous built-in diagnostics to monitor system integrity across all operational parameters.
Technical Specifications
• Processor: High-speed microprocessor for complete system control
• Power Requirements: 120 VAC, 0.5 A, 60 Hz
• Balance Sensitivity: High sensitivity configuration
