DPM-Based Temperature Control
The Base3 DPM has two temperature-control channels. Two RTD inputs feed two comparator
circuits to drive two heater-control outputs. The heater-control outputs connect to inputs on
the PECM in most analyzers. The control path is shown below.

Heater Control Path Using DPM
A mounting location and connector are provided for two Temperature Setpoint Modules. The
modules are installed on the left side (back) of the DPM, shown below. This same position is
used in the
