Description-General
The s e r i e s DRC-7 i s a completely s e l f - c o n t a i n e d u n i t providing
t h e c a p a b i l i t y o f both d i r e c t d i g i t a l readout i n k e l v i n temperature u n i t s
and temperature c o n t r o l (DRC-7C and DRC-70C) by d i r e c t d i g i t a l comparison
t o t h e displayed temperature.
The u s e f u l range o f o p e r a t i o n i s 1 t o 400 K u t i l i z i n g t h e s t a n d a r d
DT-500-DRC sensor which has been pre-selected to provide uniform
c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s . P r e - s e l e c t i o n allows t h e s e r i e s DRC-7 t o be used with
s t a n d a r d s e n s o r s without adjustment of any kind. Since t h e standard s e n s o r s
a r e completely interchangeable, t h e s e r i e s DRC-7 may be used t o read o u t
any number o f s e n s o r s w i t h equal accuracy when s e l e c t e d through an
a p p r o p r i a t e e x t e r n a l switch o r m u l t i p l e x e r .
The s e r i e s DRC-7 u n i t s c o n t a i n an i n t e r n a l c o n s t a n t c u r r e n t source
which i s p r e s e t a t t h e f a c t o r y f o r 10 microamps.
As a s t a n d a r d f e a t u r e , a l l u n i t s a r e equipped w i t h a r e c o r d e r o u t p u t
providing 0-4 v o l t s i n increments o f 10 m i l l i v o l t s p e r degree with a
l i n e a r i t y e r r o r o f 0.5 K (DRC-7 and DRC-7C) and 0 . 3 K (DRC-70 and DRC-70C).
Both t h e DRC-7C and DRC-70C r e a d o u t / c o n t r o l l e r u n i t s have an
a d j u s t a b l e f i n e t u n i n g c o n t r o l f o r peak output power adjustment. The f i n e

1.3.1
Model DRC-7
The Model DRC-7 provides d i r e c t temperature readout i n k e l v i n
temperature u n i t s with 1 degree r e s o l u t i o n . The e r r o r of l i n e a r i z a t i o n
(conformity) is f a c t o r y set a t 0 . 5 degrees.
1.3.2
Model DRC-7C
The Model DRC-7C combines t h e e l e c t r o n i c s contained i n t h e
Model DRC-7 w i t h a time p r o p o r t i o n a l t h y r i s t o r temperature c o n t r o l l e r .

o f 0 t o 50 watts.
1.3.3
Model DRC-70
The Model DRC-70, l i k e t h e DRC-7, provides temperature readout
only. However, t h e r e s o l u t i o n has been improved t o 0.1 degree and t h e
conformity e r r o r has been reduced t o 0 . 3 degrees. Both t h e Models DRC-7
and DRC-70 have a s t a n d a r d analog output, t o compliment t h e d i g i t a l display,
p r o v i d i n g a 0-4 v o l t output w i t h a s l o p e o f 10 m i l l i v o l t s / d e g r e e with
t h e i r respective linearity error.
1.3.4
Model DRC-70C
The Model DRC-70C, as t h e DRC-7C, provides both temperature readout
and c o n t r o l over t h e useable range of 1 t o 400 K.
The DRC-70C combines t h e DRC-70 with a r e v o l u t i o n a r y new d i g i t a l
p r o p o r t i o n a l t h y r i s t o r c o n t r o l u n i t having an i n t e r n a l f a c t o r y s e t
bandwidth o f 0.5 k e l v i n . The d i g i t a l p r o p o r t i o n c o n t r o l provides f o r
maximum agreement between t h e s e t p o i n t temperature and t h e a c t u a l
temperature. A f i n e t u n i n g c o n t r o l i s provided on t h e f r o n t panel which
allows t h e maximum peak v o l t a g e t o be a d j u s t e d between 0 and 50 v o l t s rms.
The bandwidth is f i x e d about t h e s e t p o i n t value and i s equal t o
±0.5 K. Operation w i t h i n t h e bandwidth zone allows t h e c o n t r o l l e r t o work
i n a p r o p o r t i o n a l mode. The p r o p o r t i o n a l mode o p e r a t i o n i s d e t e c t a b l e
by a p u l s a t i n g or b l i n k i n g h e a t e r power ON l i g h t . Operation below t h e
p r o p o r t i o n a l zone allows t h e c o n t r o l l e r to work i n a continuously ON
condition.
