Athena Controls 16JFS1 Temperature Controller

Athena Controls 16JFS1 Temperature Controller is a compact 1/16‑DIN, panel‑mount device in the Series 16 family, designed for precise single‑loop temperature control in a wide range of industrial processes. It accepts thermocouple, RTD, voltage, or current inputs and can operate in heat or cool modes, with auto‑tuning, ramp‑to‑setpoint, and bumpless auto/manual transfer to keep process changes smooth. The Series 16 provides two independent outputs for control and alarms and uses two digital LED displays to show process value and setpoint, with RS‑232 or RS‑485 communications for data exchange. The front panel is rated for dust and splash protection (NEMA 4X), and there is a DIN‑rail mounting option for compatible control panels; the family also supports remote setpoints, dual alarms, optional retransmission, and both cUL and CE approvals. This specific variant is described as NO SOCKET in its product text, indicating it ships without a socket accessory. The Athena Series 16 controllers are versatile, configurable as dedicated temperature controllers or universal process controllers and are used across industries such as chemical, HVAC, packaging, and plastics for reliable, adjustable heating or cooling control.
