fan supply in the
TECSource
menu – see the
TECSource
manual for additional
details on how to do that.
If you are using a third-party temperature controller, then you will need to
provide a 12V DC power supply through the 17W2 connection. See the pin-out
later in this document for the fan pin assignments.
Connecting to the TEC Controller:
Next, connect the
286
TECMount
to your temperature controller. The
5300-08-
24
TECSource
is the recommended controller for this mount, although it will
work with most temperature controller controllers designed for TEC applications,
so long as the current and voltage requirements are met, which is a minimum of
8A and 24V. Make sure the temperature controller’s current limit is set no higher
than 14.8A, the maximum for this mount. If using an Arroyo
TECSource
, change
the
Mount
setting in the menu to either
286
or
286-150
, depending on which
mount type you have, and the
5300
will be automatically configured for the
mount. Where possible, we recommend the use of Arroyo Instruments TEC
cables. When connecting to a
5300 Series
TECSource
, use p/n
1262-17W2
.
NOTE
Earth Grounding Considerations
The 17W2 connector shell is electrically connected to the housing.
Depending on the wiring of your cables and instruments, this may or
may not provide earth grounding of the fixture. Make sure the cable
shell is earth grounded on both ends of the cable, and that the
instrument makes connection from its connector to earth ground.
NOTE
Arroyo Instruments offers TEC cables designed to connect directly
between our
TECSource
products. If you use your own cables, ensure
the connections are properly made between the instrument and the
mount, and that proper grounding techniques are used. The pin-out of
the connectors can be found later in this document.
