Watlow PM4 Temperature Controller

The Watlow PM4 is a high-quality, panel-mounted PID temperature controller engineered for precise temperature regulation in industrial furnaces. Its clear LED display and programmable ramp/soak capabilities make it ideal for complex heat treatment processes that require specific temperature profiles.
The PM4 can store up to four ramp-and-soak profiles, each with up to 10 programmable steps—making it well-suited for applications such as heat treating, annealing, or ceramic firing. In addition to controlling heating elements, it can also operate accessory outputs like event alarms or over-temperature shutoffs.  Shape 

6-Segment Heat Treatment Profile Example:  An example of a program could be: 
  1. Ramp up to 1500°F at 10°F per minute 
  2. Hold (soak) at 1500°F for 45 minutes 
  3. Ramp up again to 1700°F at 2°F per minute 
  4. Hold (soak) at 1700°F for 1 hours 
  5. Turn on alarm cycle complete
  6. Then end the profile
