Setup
The
CL-100
has been designed primarily to drive Warner’s expanding line of
Peltier driven Heater/Coolers. However,the device is also capable of supplying
power to Warner’s full line of resistive heaters (e.g., Series 20 Heater Platforms,
In-line Solution Heaters, etc.).The instrument will auto-detect when a resistive
heating device has been attached and will disable cooling commands.
Warner Peltier Driven Systems
The basic set up for the
CL-100
is straightforward when used with Warner’s
Peltier Driven Heater/Coolers.
First connect the cable from the heater/cooler device into the 15-pin D-con-
nector on the back of the
CL-100
.Then connect the
TA-29
Thermistor (sup-
plied with the heater/cooler device) to the MONITOR TEMP IN BNC (Item F).
If using external control inputs, make connections from your
command
output
(e.g., analog out on the A/D board, power supply) to either the EXT
TEMP SET (Item Q) or EXT VOLT SET (Item P) BNC’s on the rear panel.
Operating With Other Equipment
The
CL-100
can be used to power other Warner equipment such as the
SH-27B
and
SF-28 Slow-Flow
solution heaters. In addition, the controller
can be used as an independent device to power third-party equipment as
long as the following considerations are met.
Warner Resistive Heating Systems
Use of the
CL-100
to power Warner resistive heaters is allowed if used in
conjunction with the
AC-100
adapter cable. When the
CL-100
is connect-
ed to a resistive device, all command inputs (auto and manual modes for
both internal and external commands) are functional with the exception
that cooling commands are not executed.
Third-party Equipment
The
CL-100
heater controller will work with many other heating devices if
used in conjunction with the
AC-100
adapter cable. To obtain maximum
heating power, the resistance of the third-party heating element should be
between 8-12 W. However, any element that works at a maximum of 15 V
and 2.4 A will also work with the
CL-100
.
Thermistor Considerations
The
CL-100
heater controller was designed to accommodate Unical ther-
mistors from Thermometrics (Edison, New Jersey). This family of thermis-
tors can be interchanged without recalibration of the instrument.The nom-
inal resistance of Unical thermistors is 10.0 kW at 25ºC.
Other thermistors may be used with the
CL-100
if the nominal resistance
also is 10.0 k
Ω
at 25ºC.
