The N1040 combines the simplicity of the N1030 PID controller line with added functions USB connection, 2 alarms, soft start, loop break detection, and a faster input sample rate making it a fast, simple-to-set-up, robust controller well suited to process equipment, machinery and OEM builds, and catering equipment. The USB connection can also be used for parameter setup, so multiple devices can be programmed quickly.

The microprocessor-based N1040 was designed for low-cost applications while still achieving a high degree of accuracy. It features a short-depth enclosure of only 70 mm, reducing panel space considerably. Another important feature is the exclusive removable wiring connection block, which simplifies installation.

It accepts Pt100 RTDs and thermocouples types J, K and T, and features two outputs for control and alarm, universal power supply, and automatic tuning of the PID parameters. The N1040 is a cost-effective temperature controller that still keeps high performance standards.
