Peter Huber E-grade "Exclusive" for Pilot ONE Controllers

The Peter Huber E-grade "Exclusive" (Order No. 9495) is a high-value electronic functionality upgrade designed for any Huber temperature control unit equipped with a Pilot ONE controller. This innovative system utilizes unit-specific activation keys to instantly expand the technical capabilities of your hardware, allowing it to adapt to more demanding process requirements without the need for physical modifications or hardware updates. By entering a code uniquely tied to your device's serial number, you unlock professional-grade features—including 0.01°C resolution and advanced cascade control—ensuring your laboratory equipment remains a versatile and future-proof investment.

Key Features:

• Enhanced Precision: Increases temperature display and control resolution to 0.01°C (standard is 0.1°C).
• Integrated Programmer: Unlocks a versatile programmer allowing for 3 distinct programs, each supporting up to 15 individual segments.
• Process Control Mode: Enables cascade temperature control, allowing the unit to regulate based on an external Pt100 probe inside the process vessel.
• TAC (True Adaptive Control): Provides self-optimizing internal and cascade control logic for perfect temperature stability, even during dynamic thermal shifts.
• Direct Data Logging: Enables process data recording directly to a connected USB memory stick in a format ready for analysis.
• Ramp Functionality: Adds linear ramp functions to precisely manage temperature gradients and specialized heating/cooling rates.
• USB Support: Allows for the easy saving and loading of temperature control programs and specific device settings.
• Instant Implementation: The upgrade is performed electronically via an activation code sent by email; no downtime for hardware shipping or installation is required.

The E-grade "Exclusive" is the ideal bridge for laboratories moving from simple bath tasks to professional process development. It provides the critical "Process" mode required to control temperature based on the product’s actual temperature rather than the jacket fluid, which is essential for pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis scale-up trials.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the serial number mandatory for this order?
Each E-grade activation key is mathematically encrypted and uniquely generated based on the specific serial number of your Huber Pilot ONE controller. The code will only function on the unit it was created for.

2. How do I activate the "Exclusive" package?
Once you receive your code via email, navigate to the "System Settings" menu on your Pilot ONE controller, select "E-grade," then "Activate Packages," and enter the provided activation key.

3. Can I upgrade from "Exclusive" to "Professional" later?
Yes. The E-grade system is fully modular. If your process requirements grow, you can upgrade to the E-grade "Professional" (Order No. 9496) at any time to unlock up to 10 programs and 100 segments.

4. Does the "Exclusive" E-grade expire?
No. Once activated, the functionality is permanently unlocked in the controller's memory. It will remain active even through power cycles or system resets.

5. Is this upgrade compatible with KISS or OLÉ models?
No. The E-grade system is exclusive to the Pilot ONE controller series. KISS and OLÉ controllers have a fixed set of functions that cannot be expanded via activation keys.
