E-Help tip: Using the CPA to Create a Temperature Switch

CPA 4 Wire PC Programmable Alarm ppQ: I am looking for a device to create a temperature switch. I currently use a simple temperature switch with a 230°F setting, but at times the temperature of the unit goes over 400°F briefly and destroys the switch. I need to be able to hook a thermocouple up to the device and program a setpoint (with no display required) and have a set of dry contacts open when the temperature rises above the setpoint.

A: Our model CPA PC-Programmable Alarm can accept a thermocouple or RTD input and trip a relay based on the setpoint that you have configured. It can be configured using our software and a USB cable.
