If you’re not sure whether a particular hotplate you have is compatible with a Carousel Temperature Controller or a Pt1000, check the socket on the hotplate – the Carousel Temperature Controller socket is 5-pin, whereas a Pt1000 socket is 4-pin, and the sticker should tell you which it is too – see below.
Old hotplates – compatible with Carousel Temperature Controller (or Heidolph EKT Hei-Con)
Current hotplates – compatible with Pt1000
