1. Introduction to LT- Interface and PR-59
1.1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the TC-XX-PR-59 programmable controller. The unit is designed for
reversible (cooling/heating) control of Thermoelectric Assemblies that require precise temperature
control accuracy. The controller not only regulates the temperature, but also features two
programmable fan outputs and an alarm output relay. The controller can be used as a stand-alone
unit with RS-232 interface to control settings and parameters live. An easy to use PC software is
used to input parameters visually and see output parameters in real time.
1.2 Compatibility
The software has been tested and is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 7
operating systems.
