STRIX U1886 Control System for 'Two Power' Vacuum Coffee Pot Applications Last Updated: 25/06/2003
Overview: 
The STRIX U1886 control is specifically designed for use in Vacuum Coffee Brewing appliances which use a heating element which is hidden from the consumer. A flying lead provides a direct power take off for a second heating element track which is independant of the brew cycling dry blade. It also incorporates two-level, two pole protection against boiling dry or accidental dry switch on of the appliance. There is also an incorporated non-cycling and therefore energy saving dry protection system.
