driving the fixture to the set point you have chosen. Depending on the thermal
size of your fixture, it may take seconds or several minutes to reach the set
point.
If you notice the temperature is oscillating around the set point and not
stabilizing, you may need to adjust the
Gain setting in the menu. You can use
the AutoTune feature to automatically calculate the best PID values, or select
from a set of eight factory preset values that typically cover most applications.
To use the factory gains, if the temperature is quickly jumping up and down, the
Gain will typically need to be reduced. If the temperature is slowly moving up
and down, try a higher Gain . You may need to experiment with several gain
settings to find the ideal value, and for even finer control, you can set the Gain to
PID and directly set the PID control values.
It’s that simple. For more detailed operating and installation instructions, read

Installation
Installation of the
TECSource is very straightforward, as the quick start section
above illustrated. This section will provide additional details and considerations
for installing your
TECSource .
After unpacking the unit, make sure all packing materials have been removed
and nothing obscures the ventilation ports on the back and bottom of the unit.
Changing the Voltage Selection
Before powering on the unit, ensure that the voltage selection on the IPC is set
correctly. Improper voltage selection can easily damage the unit. Changing the
voltage selection requires that you remove the voltage selection module from
the IPC.
Remove the power cord from the unit. Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver,
insert the tip of the screwdriver into the two small openings above and below the
voltage indication to release the voltage selection module from the IPC, as
shown in the picture below.
