Description
Heating operation for either one sample and one chamber or for two chambers is factory pre-set and cannot be modified by the user. An additional option allows the customer to independently control other non-regulated heaters such as those used for ion pumps. Unit can be remotely controlled via RS232/485 or Ethernet interfaces. Autosave function for saving your parameters/unit preset and applying them automatically after restart.
The BCU14 Bakeout Control Unit controller can be supplied in a 3HE 19″ enclosure unit with steering power components (one or two units – 2 heat zones per unit) or for 19″ rack mounting with external power components.

The main tasks of the BCU14 are regulation and stabilization of (i) the power supplied to the heaters in order to achieve a required bakeout temperature in any given zone, and (ii) parallel control of unregulated heaters (on valves, ion pumps, etc.). Target temperature, bake time and ramp times are all user-defined.
