When the unit is in remote mode, the yellow Remote LED will be lit. More
information about how the instrument behaves in remote mode can be found in
the Remote Mode Operation section below.
Control Modes
The
TECSource offers three control modes: constant temperature mode (T
Mode), and constant resistance mode (R Mode), and constant current mode (Ite
Mode).
Changing the control mode is done through the menu by changing the
Mode
parameter to T Mode , R Mode , or Ite Mode .
Constant temperature mode uses the sensor constants to calculate the
resistance of the thermistor at the desired or actual temperature.
While most users will only need the temperature control mode, the constant
resistance mode allows you to bypass the sensor equation and directly select
the sensor set point. This can be useful when only the desired sensor value is
known, or when the sensor-to-temperature conversion values are not available
for your sensor.
Main Display Screen
On the main display you will find the set point and two or three measurements,
depending on the configuration you have chosen. An example display is shown
below:
Sample Display
The set point will depend on the control mode you have selected. When in T
Mode, the set point will be temperature. When in R Mode, the set point will be in
the active sensor’s units (ohms for thermistor and RTD, uA for AD590, and mV
for LM335). When in Ite Mode, the set point will be in amps.
