The West 6500 temperature controller features a simplified operator interface and automatic self-tuning on process start-up
The West 6500 Simplified Temperature Controller offers a simplified operator interface with a clear on‑control indicator and a large three‑digit red LED display. It supports both thermocouple and RTD inputs, with easy‑tune PID or On‑Off control and optional alarm functions.
Technical data include a wide temperature range, high accuracy, and robust output options such as relay or SSR control. The unit operates from 100‑240 V AC, meets IEC IP66 protection, and is certified CE, UL and ULE. Dimensions and connection details are provided for easy installation.
| Thermocouple temperature range | 0‑800 °C (various types) |
|---|---|
| RTD type | 3‑wire PT100, 500 Ω per lead maximum |
| Accuracy | ±0.25 % of input span, ±1 LSD (CJC <0.7 °C) |
| Sampling rate | 4 samples/s, ~14‑bit resolution |
| Power supply | 100‑240 V AC 50/60 Hz, 7.5 VA (optional 20‑50 V AC or 22‑65 V DC) |
| Relay contact rating | 2 A at 240 V AC, >500,000 operations |
| Operating temperature | 0‑55 °C (storage -20‑80 °C), 20‑95 % RH non‑condensing |
| Display | 3‑digit 13 mm high red LED |
The controller can handle thermocouple inputs up to 800 °C and RTD inputs such as 3‑wire PT100 up to 500 Ω per lead.
It requires a 100‑240 V AC line supply at 50/60 Hz, drawing 7.5 VA, with optional 20‑50 V AC or 22‑65 V DC supplies.
The unit offers an accuracy of ±0.25 % of the input span, with a typical resolution of ±1 LSD and thermocouple CJC error better than 0.7 °C.
