Quick Start
The
5400 TECSource was designed with ease of use in mind, and you will likely
have little need for this manual for almost all of the features the unit offers. This
section will show how you can quickly get the unit up and running in almost no
time.
The
TECSource 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.
Plug the AC cord into the unit and into the wall outlet. Turn on the power switch
located on the IPC, and the unit will power up, displaying the model information
and firmware version number.
Press the Menu button to enter the menu, and using the knob, turn to the right
until the I Lim setting is displayed. Press the knob to edit the setting, and adjust
the limit as appropriate to your Peltier. Press the knob again to save the value.
Make the same adjustments to the high and low temperature limits (
T-High Lim
and T-Low Lim ), as appropriate for your application.
The unit comes pre-programmed for the BetaTHERM 10K3A1 thermistor. If the
TECSource is being connected to a LaserMount , no changes need to be
made, as this is the thermistor used in the mount. However, if you are using
manufacturer’s thermistor or a different BetaTHERM thermistor, you will need to
verify the Steinhart-Hart coefficients are set correctly. Navigate to the Main
Sensor Menu , pressing the knob to enter the sub-menu. Adjust the constants to
reflect the values for your thermistor.
Once you have made all your adjustments, press the
Menu button to exit the
menu (in the future, if you’re only changing one value, you do not need to press
the knob --- pressing the
Menu button while changing a value will save the value
and exit).
Next, connect the cable between your
LaserMount or other fixture and the
Output connector of the TECSource . We recommend using our cables as they
have been designed to work well with the TECSource . If using your own cables,
ensure they have been properly wired according to the pin-out of the
TECSource and your fixture.
Finally, set the set point to an appropriate temperature and press the
Output
button. The output will turn on and you will see the voltage and current begin
driving the fixture to the set point you have chosen. Depending on the thermal
size of your fixture, it may take seconds or several minutes to reach the set
point.
