Any of Grant's Optima series thermostats can be combined with one of the five new refrigeration units and, if required, either of the powerful optional pumps, to form any of over 70 possible combinations.
Labwise software may be added to maximise the functionality of the system.
The refrigeration base units are supplied in three popular tank sizes with minimum operating temperatures from as low as -47C.
They are robust and corrosion resistant with long service life.
All models are supplied with a bridge plate for mounting the thermostat unit, a removable lid and a detachable front grille for easy cleaning of the condenser.
A host of other features are offered, including fitted drain valves and refrigeration on/off control during a heating and cooling program.
Five Optima series thermostats are available, ranging from the simple efficiency of the analogue GA100 to the sophistication of the programmable GP200.
All the digital models offer the unique navigator and interactive display, which allows for fast, accurate set-up and intuitive movement from one menu selection to another.
Grant's high performance units offer a dual line LCD display, a socket for an optional Pt1000 temperature probe and a programmable relay for refrigeration on/off control.
