XM-18D Controller

7,500 Ksh

The XM-18 temperature and humidity controller is a widely used device for maintaining precise environmental conditions in applications like incubators, greenhouses, and hatcheries. It is designed to control and monitor both temperature and humidity levels, ensuring optimal conditions for specific processes. Here's an overview of its features and functionality: Key Features Dual Control: Simultaneously controls temperature and humidity using connected sensors. Digital Display: Provides clear readings of current temperature, humidity, and setpoints. User-Friendly Interface: Equipped with buttons for easy setting adjustments. Relay Outputs: Supports connections for heating, cooling, humidifying, and dehumidifying devices. Alarms: Can trigger alarms for deviations from set parameters. Wide Range: Typically supports temperature control from -40°C to +120°C and humidity control from 0% to 99%. Working Principle Sensors: The controller uses temperature and humidity sensors to measure the ambient conditions. Comparison: It compares the measured values with user-set target values. Control Actions: If the temperature is below the set value, it activates heating devices. If it exceeds the setpoint, it triggers cooling devices. Similarly, it manages humidifiers or dehumidifiers based on humidity requirements. Feedback Loop: The device continuously monitors and adjusts until the desired conditions are achieved. Applications in Incubators In incubators, maintaining precise conditions is crucial for successful hatching or cultivation. The XM-18 controller helps by: Ensuring a stable temperature for embryo development. Regulating humidity to prevent dehydration or excessive moisture, which can affect hatch rates. Automating the environmental control process to reduce human intervention. Specifications Power Supply: Usually 110V or 220V AC. Output Type: Relay outputs for external devices. Accuracy: High accuracy for precise control. Sensor Compatibility: Compatible with commonly used temperature and humidity sensors (e.g., DHT22, SHT series). Usage Tips Regularly calibrate sensors for accurate readings. Ensure proper placement of sensors inside the incubator for consistent monitoring. Avoid exposing the device to extreme moisture or dust.
