Seta-Orbis D86 Digistill Thermometer & Data Processor distillation thermometer
Part Number 97005-0

The Seta-Orbis Digistill D86 controller is a bench top unit designed for automated reading of atmospheric distillation data from a manual distillation instrument in accordance with ASTM D86 and equivalent methods.
Temperature is measured via a platinum resistance temperature probe and displayed on the front panel. The four line display shows menu options and real time distillation data, which are easily accessed via a multi-function rotary control. A remote command button and extension cable allows the operator to record a temperature whilst concentrating on monitoring volume points. The memory can hold up to 28 distillation data sets, each comprising 100 volume setpoints.

The thermometer uses a unique simulation program that replicates the characteristics of mercury-in-glass ASTM 7C/ F or 8C/ F thermometers, including the time lag and thermal history. An integral precision electronic barometer can be selected to apply corrections for changes in ambient pressure. The output can be printed via the printer port, or transmitted to a PC via the RS232 port. An RS485 port is provided for interfacing with compatible distillation apparatus to provide automated control of heaters. Each platinum resistance temperature probe has an on-board memory containing a unique identification number and a calibration curve. The data is automatically transferred to the display unit whenever probes are interchanged. Calibration of the probe can be carried out by the user via the instrument. The probe is suitable for use with a centring device.

Supplied with: controller, PT-100 probe, command button, power cable and instruction manual.

Note: The Digistill D86 can be used as an accessory for 11860-3 Setastill.

Certification: The temperature probe is supplied uncalibrated. A UKAS calibration service is available on request.
