QD-ENG-68 

Controller for Thermoelectric Thermal Management 

 

INSTALLING THE CONTROLLER 

The Ice Qube TMS controller is shipped complete with mounting hardware and electrical cables for easy installation. Cables 
include a power cable for connecting to VDC power supply, VDC power and controller function cables for connecting the 
controller to the thermoelectric thermal management system. 

NOTE:  Installation should be done by a qualified technician.  All electrical connections should be made with 
circuits de-energized.  Check local codes or with authority having jurisdiction. 

1. 

Determine a location for 

the controller.  See drawing for 
mounting hole dimensions and 
requirements.  Check that cable 
length is sufficient to interface 
with power supply and 
thermoelectric unit. 

2. 

Route the DC power 

cable and controller cable 
exiting from the bottom of the 
controller to the thermoelectric 
unit.  Insert the cable connectors 
into the mating connector on the 
thermoelectric unit.  Check the 
connectors are secure. 

3. 

Insert the power cable 

connector (shipped loose) into 
the DC power interface on the 
front of the controller.  Route the 
power cable to Class 2 DC 
power supply.  Check that the 
power supply is properly 
grounded and of sufficient 
capacity to meet the power 
requirements of the 
thermoelectric unit.  See model 
specifications or label for 
electrical power requirements.  
Connect the wires labeled 
positive, negative and ground 
(PE) to the corresponding 
terminals on the power supply.  
Check that all connections are 
proper and secure.
