CLS208 208-C10000CP Multi-zone Temperature Controller (8 zones)
The Watlow ANAFAZE CLS208 208-C10000CP operates as an 8-zone temperature controller, maintaining the same core functionality as the 208-C10000CA but with key upgrades for harsh environments. It interfaces with J, K, T, E thermocouples and PT100 RTDs, using adaptive PID algorithms to keep each zone within tight tolerances. What distinguishes it is its IP66-rated enclosure, which seals internal components against water ingress, chemical splashes, and particulate matter—critical for areas requiring daily sanitization with caustic cleaners.

In the automation stack, this controller integrates seamlessly with PLCs, SCADA systems, and DCS via Ethernet/IP, RS-485, and Modbus RTU, just like its counterpart. However, the Watlow ANAFAZE CLS208 208-C10000CP adds specialized firmware that adjusts for temperature fluctuations caused by rapid environmental changes—such as post-washdown cool-down periods—ensuring zones recover quickly without overshoot. Its zone-to-zone synchronization remains intact, making it ideal for processes where timing is critical, even in harsh conditions.

CLS208 208-C10000CP
Main features and advantages:
The Watlow ANAFAZE CLS208 208-C10000CP delivers tangible benefits in environments where durability directly impacts uptime. Its IP66 rating eliminates the risk of water or chemical damage during washdowns, reducing maintenance costs and extending service life compared to the 208-C10000CA. In facilities like meat processing plants, where daily high-pressure cleaning is mandatory, this controller continues operating without performance drops, ensuring temperature-critical processes—such as chilling or cooking stages—remain uninterrupted.
Beyond durability, the Watlow ANAFAZE CLS208 208-C10000CP maintains the precision that defines the CLS208 series. Its adaptive PID algorithms adjust for environmental variables like sudden temperature shifts from washdowns, preventing overshoot in sensitive processes like pharmaceutical compounding. For teams tasked with maintaining compliance in regulated industries, this controller simplifies validation by providing consistent performance data even in harsh conditions, reducing the burden of documentation and audits.
CLS208 208-C10000CP
Application areas:
The Watlow ANAFAZE CLS208 208-C10000CP excels in industries where hygiene and durability are non-negotiable. In food and beverage processing—specifically dairy, meat, and beverage bottling—it regulates temperature zones in pasteurizers, fermenters, and cooling tunnels, withstanding daily washdowns using caustic agents. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it controls multi-zone reactors and drying chambers, ensuring precise thermal profiles while resisting the sanitizing chemicals used in cleanroom maintenance.
It also finds applications in chemical processing facilities, where exposure to corrosive fumes or spills is common, managing temperature in mixing vessels and storage tanks. Its ability to maintain accuracy (±0.1°C) even after repeated exposure to harsh conditions makes it ideal for processes requiring both regulatory compliance and equipment resilience, such as in cosmetic production where sterility and temperature stability directly impact product quality.

Installation and maintenance:
Before installing the Watlow ANAFAZE CLS208 208-C10000CP, inspect the mounting cutout to ensure it matches the 144 x 144 mm dimensions—any gaps around the bezel can compromise the IP66 seal. Verify that the panel surface is flat and free of debris; uneven surfaces may prevent the gasket from forming a tight seal. Check that the power supply delivers stable 85-264 VAC, as voltage spikes can affect both performance and the integrity of internal components.
For ongoing maintenance, visually inspect the bezel seal monthly for cracks or degradation, replacing it immediately if damage is found to maintain IP66 protection. Clean the front panel using only mild detergents—avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the seal or display. While the controller is designed to resist corrosion, check terminal blocks quarterly for signs of chemical buildup, especially in environments with high humidity, and clean with a dry cloth if needed. Calibrate sensors annually using traceable standards to ensure the Watlow ANAFAZE CLS208 208-C10000CP continues meeting precision requirements.
