Simply by adding this PC/104 module you will be able to extend the acceptable temperature range outside your system to -20°C ~ +60°C.
The PIA-373 is capable of measuring your system's temperature and takes decisive action to keep its temperature within preset boundaries. The module has temperature measurement circuitry onboard that can regulate the power source for a heavy duty cooling fan and a power relay for a heating device. This enables you to use your system under temperature conditions that before where off limits.
There are two preset temperature values. One for high-level and one for low-level. If the internal temperature reaches one of the levels either the cooling fan will try to decrease the temperature or the heater will try to increase the temperature.
If, after a few minutes, the internal temperature still exceeds the low- or high-level preset value, (despite its cooling and heating function) than the module will sound an audible alarm. Low-level and high-level presets for the internal temperature can be subsequently configured from 0 to 9°C and from 0 to 99°C.
The internal cooling fan's 12V power source comes from the system's standard power supply. The power relay for the heating device can support up to 1500watt.
