動物溫度控制器　（動物保溫裝置）

ATC1000 Animal Temperature Controller

※ 現販售新款ATC-2000

型號： ATC-1000

• PID控制最高溫度穩定性
• 低噪音的DC加熱器
• 雙溫度傳感器輸入
• 聲音警報，保護加熱墊/元件避免過熱

ATC1000是一種低噪音加熱系統，在實驗過程中維持動物體溫。DC加熱器在電磁輻射方面極為安靜，此特性在對電極干擾極敏感的電生理紀錄中十分關鍵。

控制器在調整DC電壓輸出上，使用PID技術：比例proportional、積分integral、微分derivative。相較於開關類型的控制器，PID控制提供更精準而穩定的溫度控制。PID法對實驗條件變數更不受影響，例如動物尺寸改變和非預期干擾。

控制器具雙溫度感應輸出。

• 「Probe輸入」用於監控肛溫探針，以控制動物體溫。
• 其他和加熱器連接的輸入標示為「輸出Output」，用於監控間熱板內的內部溫度感應器，預防動物底下的局部熱點

ATC-1000特點為自動調整功能，利用模糊邏輯演算法(fuzzy-logic algorithm)自動優化設定。參數也可以手動設置。控制器溫度解析度為0.1°C。肛溫探針具6英尺高彈性隔離電纜和一個RTD感應器。

加熱元件

金屬加熱板包含內建溫度感應器，堅硬平坦的表面可以符合立體定位儀系統的U-frame。所有加熱板均可用水和清潔劑清洗。

必要配件

加熱板（#502195或#502196)和探針 (#502197或#503524)為必要組件。

ATC1000 is a low noise heating system for maintaining animal body temperature during experimental procedures. The DC heater is extremely quiet in terms of electromagnetic radiation. This is essential in electrophysiological recordings which are very sensitive to electromagnetic interference.

The controller uses proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) technology in adjusting the DC voltage output. Compared with switched on/off type controllers, PID controllers provide a much more precise and stable control of temperature. The PID approach is also more immune to the variation of the experimental conditions such as change in animal size and unexpected disturbances.

The controller has dual temperature sensing inputs.

• The Probe input is used to monitor the rectal probe to control the animal temperature.
• The other is input is labeled “Output,” because it connects with the heater. It is used to monitor an internal temperature sensor in the heating plate (available separately) to prevent the localized hot spots under animal.

The ATC features an auto tuning function that utilizes a fuzzy-logic algorithm to optimize settings automatically. Parameters may also be set manually. The temperature resolution of the controller is 0.1°C. The rectal temperature probe has a 6-ft ultra-flexible shield cable and an RTD sensor.

Heating elements

The metal heating plate includes a built-in temperature sensor. Compatible with stereotaxic systems, its rigid, flat surface fits under the U-frame. All plates are washable with water and detergent.

Required accessories A heating plate (order number 502195 or 502196) and a probe (order number 502197 or 503524) are required for use with this unit. Please see the Accessories tab.
