Introduction
Thank you for choosing the
5400 Series TECSource
from Arroyo Instruments.
Your
TECSource
is a combination of leading edge technology combined with
years of experience in the field of temperature control.
With a crystal clear 4-line VFD display, very high power output, multi-sensor
support, both RS232 and USB computer interfaces, and auxiliary I/O, the
TECSource
will fit into almost any temperature control application.
Unlike other temperature controllers in its class which use inexpensive 7-
segment LED displays, the
TECSource
takes advantage of its large VFD display
to simultaneously display set point temperature, actual temperature, current, and
voltage.
The user interface of the
TECSource
is engineered to make using the
instrument straightforward. With its text-based menus, there is never any
confusion over which setting is being changed, and parameters are displayed in
clear English (no cryptic numbers or LEDs to decode).
The
TECSource
offers all the features you would expect from a modern
temperature controller, including:
AutoTune for automatic PID parameter calculation
0.004°C temperature stability
0.001°C resolution for both set point and actual temperatures
What’s in the Box
Along with the
TECSource
itself, you will find a printed copy of the manual, a 2-
pin interlock header, and a CD with electronic copies of this manual, the
Computer Interfacing Manual
, and USB drivers are included. For USA
customers, a power cord is included. For non-USA customers, an IEC-60320-
C13 rated AC power cord must be provided.

TECSource
. These include:
