3-10 Basic Operation Models 2510 and 2510-AT User’s Manual
Basic front panel control-measure procedure
Use the following procedure to perform the basic control-measure operations.
NOTE
The following procedure assumes that the Model 2510 is already connected to
the thermoelectric cooler and temperature sensor as explained in
“Input/output
connections,” page 2-2 .
Step 1: Select function.
Press the T,V, I, or R key to select the desired control function:
• T: Temperature function
• V: Voltage function
• I: Current function
• R: Resistance function
Step 2: Configure function.
Press CONFIG then the function key to configure the various operating parameter for the
function to be used. For example, to configure the temperature function, press CONFIG
then T, and then set the following operating parameters:
• PROTECTION: Enable protection, and program the high and low temperature
limits.
• SENSOR-TYPE: Select the type of sensor being used, then set the associated sen-
sor parameters.
• UNITS: Select the desired temperature units.
• PID: Program the proportional, derivative, and integral loop constants.
NOTE
See “Configuring functions,” page 3-3 , and “Rules to navigate menus,”
page 1-21 , for details on various menu selections and setting parameter values.
See PID Control Concepts and “Sensor coefficients,” page 4-14 , for details on
programming the proportional, integral, and derivative constants and sensor
parameters.
Step 3: Adjust setpoint.
Press one of the EDIT keys to enter the setpoint editing mode for the selected function.
Use the
and keys to increment and decrement setpoint values; use the left and right
arrow keys to select the cursor position.
Step 4: Set current limit.
If required, set the current limit as needed. (Press CONFIG then I, then use the
PROTECTION selection.)
