The Controller Unit (CU) is shown in Figures 1 and 2. The integrated
temperature controller and power supply for the heater are the main
components of the controller unit.

The sensor plugged-in to the “Control” port is used to control the
temperature. The thermocouple in “Safety” is just used to prevent
overheating of the Pencil. If you only use one sensor, connect it to "Safety."

The ThermoClamp-3 and its heated Perfusion Pencil should both be
grounded for high-gain electrophysiology.
