8820 Digital Thermostat – At a Glance Replaces Eliwell ID & capillary thermostats – one controller for multiple applications. Wider temperature range: -50°C to +150°C (Heating & Cooling). Stronger relay: Built-in 20A mains relay – no need for extra contactors. More accurate: ±0.4°C vs ±5–10°C for capillary thermostats. Clear display: Digital temperature readout, unlike capillary dials. IP65 protection: Safe in catering, refrigeration & damp environments. Easy install: Compact size (33x75mm front, 29x71mm cutout). The Digital Thermostat 8820 NTC Sensor from Under Control Instruments is a high-specification temperature controller designed for accurate and reliable heating or cooling control. Compact in size (33 x 75mm front, 29 x 71mm cutout), this controller features a single digital display with easy-to-use ON/OFF control, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial, catering, and refrigeration applications. Supplied with two 2m NTC sensors, the 8820 can monitor and regulate temperatures across a wide -50°C to +150°C range, ensuring precision in even the most demanding environments. A powerful 20A relay output is included as standard, eliminating the need for additional external relays or contactors and reducing both cost and installation space. With its IP65-rated front panel, this thermostat is resistant to dust, moisture, and cleaning processes, making it highly suited for use in commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, and refrigeration systems. The 8820 Digital Thermostat also serves as a direct replacement for traditional capillary thermostats or popular controllers such as the Eliwell ID series, delivering superior accuracy, clear visual temperature feedback, and improved reliability. Key Features Accurate Digital Control: Replaces mechanical thermostats with precise temperature regulation Temperature Range: -50°C to +150°C, suitable for heating and cooling Compact Size: 33 x 75mm front panel, 29 x 71mm cutout Dual NTC Sensors: Supplied with two 2m NTC probes for flexible monitoring 20A Relay Output: Handles high loads directly without external relays or contactors IP65 Front Panel: Protection against dust, moisture, and cleaning sprays ON/OFF Control: Simple and reliable switching for most applications Versatile Use: Suitable for refrigeration, catering equipment, food prep areas, and industrial processes Direct Replacement: Can replace Eliwell ID controllers and capillary thermostats Typical Applications Commercial and industrial refrigeration Catering equipment and ovens Heating and cooling systems Food preparation and storage areas General temperature-sensitive processes The Digital Thermostat 8820 NTC Sensor offers precise, reliable, and efficient temperature control — making it the perfect upgrade for refrigeration, catering, and heating applications.
