The CUB5TC is an inexpensive temperature display for thermocouples. It is programmed via the two front buttons or optionally via software and was developed for harsh industrial environments. It is typically used where temperatures are displayed on site, e.g. industrial dishwashers, heating systems, food and film packaging machines and in the chemical industry. The display is available as a standard LCD or with red/green backlighting. Thanks to the minimum and maximum value memory and the optional upgrade with up to 2 switching outputs and interface (programming via software possible), the CUB5TC has a very good price/performance ratio.
