Inverting the TE Output
In the event the polarity of the TE pins is backwards, it is possible to reverse the
direction of the TEC current by using the TEC:INVERTITE command . While not
recommended as it can lead to confusion when the controller is used later in
properly wired setups, this allows for correct operation of system when the TE
pins are wired backwards and rewiring is not possible or feasible.
USB Connector
The USB connector is a standard Type B female connector, and can be plugged
into any USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 port. For more information on using the USB
interface, see the
Computer Interfacing Manual which is included on the CD
that accompanied this product.
LED Indicators
There are three LEDs: the upper green AC Power LED that is lit whenever the AC
power is turned on; and a red Error LED that will light when an error has
occurred, and a blue Output On LED that will light whenever the TEC output is
on.
