Micron DTT-96 Digital Temperature Controller Cum Timer (Temp-Time), 2 Relay Output, 96 × 96 × 110 mm
Advanced Temperature and Time Control for Industrial Process Automation
The Micron DTT-96 Digital Temperature Controller Cum Timer (Temp-Time) is a versatile microprocessor-based process controller designed to provide accurate temperature control combined with programmable time control in a single compact instrument. With two relay outputs and a standard 96 × 96 × 110 mm panel-mount design, the DTT-96 is an ideal solution for industrial processes where both temperature and time need to be monitored and controlled.
Traditional temperature controllers primarily regulate temperature, while separate timers are often required to control process duration. The DTT-96 combines these functions into one convenient instrument, helping simplify control panels, reduce wiring requirements, save panel space, and improve overall process automation.
The controller is suitable for applications such as industrial ovens, furnaces, heat treatment equipment, plastic processing machinery, food processing equipment, pharmaceutical systems, dryers, heating chambers, laboratory equipment, packaging machinery, and OEM process-control machines.
With its digital display, two relay outputs, compact panel construction, and temperature-time control capability, the Micron DTT-96 provides a practical and economical solution for applications requiring controlled temperature operation for a predetermined period.
Temperature and Time Control in One Instrument
The major advantage of the DTT-96 Temperature Controller Cum Timer is its ability to combine two important process parameters:
- Temperature
- Time
The controller can be used to achieve a defined temperature and maintain the process for a specified duration according to the application requirements.
For example, in a heating process, the controller can monitor the temperature until the required set point is reached and then use the timer function to control the process duration.
This makes the instrument particularly useful for applications where temperature must be maintained for a specific period.
Two Relay Outputs
The DTT-96 is equipped with two relay outputs, providing additional flexibility for process control.
The outputs can be used for functions such as:
- Heater control
- Process ON/OFF control
- Timer operation
- Alarm indication
- Cooling control
- External contactor operation
- Solenoid valve control
- Auxiliary process control
The two-output configuration allows the controller to manage more than one process function without requiring multiple separate control instruments.
For high-power heaters or industrial loads, the relay output can be used to operate a suitably rated external contactor or solid-state switching device.
Digital Temperature Control
The DTT-96 is designed for accurate digital temperature monitoring and control.
The controller continuously receives the temperature signal from the connected temperature sensor and compares it with the programmed temperature set point. Based on the configured control function, the output relay operates to maintain the desired process temperature.
This helps achieve:
- Consistent process temperature
- Reduced temperature variation
- Improved product quality
- Better process repeatability
- Reduced operator intervention
Timer Function
The integrated timer allows users to control the duration of a process.
Timer functionality is useful when a process must operate for a predetermined time after reaching a specified condition.
Typical applications include:
- Heating for a fixed duration
- Drying cycles
- Heat treatment
- Sterilization cycles
- Curing processes
- Baking processes
- Laboratory testing
- Material conditioning
The combined temperature-time function simplifies processes that previously required separate temperature controllers and timers.
96 × 96 × 110 mm Panel Mount Design
The DTT-96 features a standard 96 × 96 mm front panel size with an approximate instrument depth of 110 mm.
Its panel-mounted design makes it suitable for:
- Industrial control panels
- Machine control panels
- OEM equipment
- Automation cabinets
- Process control systems
- Laboratory equipment
The compact design provides efficient use of control-panel space while maintaining convenient front-panel access.
Easy-to-Read Digital Display
The digital display provides clear process information to the operator.
Depending on the operating mode, the display can be used to monitor temperature and timer-related parameters.
Digital indication offers several advantages over conventional analog instruments:
- Easy reading
- No parallax error
- Quick parameter verification
- Accurate set-point adjustment
- Better operator visibility
The clear display is particularly useful in production environments where operators need to monitor process conditions continuously.

Process Automation Benefits
The DTT-96 helps automate processes that would otherwise require manual monitoring.
Once the desired parameters are programmed, the controller can automatically manage the connected process output.
This can help provide:
- Reduced manual intervention
- Improved production consistency
- Repeatable process cycles
- Better time management
- Reduced operator error
- Improved productivity
Automation is especially beneficial for repetitive industrial processes.
Improved Process Repeatability
Temperature and time are two critical parameters in many manufacturing processes.
Small variations in temperature or processing time can affect product quality. By combining both functions in one controller, the DTT-96 helps users establish repeatable process conditions.
This is particularly useful in:
- Heat treatment
- Curing
- Drying
- Baking
- Sterilization
- Thermal testing
- Material processing
Simple and Practical Operation
The controller is designed for straightforward industrial use.
Typical operation involves:
- Connect the appropriate temperature sensor.
- Connect the required process load through the relay output.
