TECPak
User’s Manual · Page 7
You can use the AutoTune feature to automatically calculate the best PID values,
or select from a set of eight factory preset values that typically cover most
applications. To use the factory gains, if the temperature is quickly jumping up
and down, the
Gain
will typically need to be reduced. If the temperature is slowly
moving up and down, try a higher
Gain
. You may need to experiment with
several gain settings to find the ideal value, and for even finer control, you can
set the
Gain
to
PID
and directly set the PID control values.
Installation
Installation of the
TECPak
is very straightforward, as the quick start section
above illustrated. This section will provide additional details and considerations
for installing your
TECPak
.
After unpacking the unit, make sure all packing materials have been removed
and nothing obscures the ventilation ports on the front and back of the unit.
The
TECPak
has a universal input power supply, accepting 90 to 240 VAC, and
50 or 60 Hz. This covers all conventional power worldwide, but ensure your AC
power meets these requirements.
Powering Up the Unit
Connect the AC power cord to the unit. Turn the power switch, located on the
AC power input power connector, into the on (|) position. The unit will go
through a quick power-up self-test, and return to the last known operating state.
The AC Power LED will light up, and the On / Error LED should remain dark until
the TEC output is turned on (if
Automatic Output On
has been enabled, the On
LED may light without user intervention).
CAUTION
Do not exceed 250VAC on the line input.
It is critical to maintain the proper voltage input into the
unit. If the actual voltage exceeds 250VAC, damage to
the unit may occur.
