Installation
Model 350 Temperature Controller
Remove all insulation, then tighten the screws on the thermocouple wires. Keep the
ceramic terminal blocks away from heat sources including sunlight and shield them
from fans or room drafts.

3.5.9.2 Thermocouple Installation
Thermocouples are commonly used in high-temperature applications. Cryogenic use
of thermocouples offers some unique challenges. A general installation guideline is
provided in section 2.10. Consider the following when using thermocouples at low
temperatures:
D
Thermocouple wire is generally more thermally conductive than other sensor
lead wire. Smaller gauge wire and more thermal anchoring may be needed to
prevent leads from heating the sample.
D
Attaching lead wires and passing them through vacuum tight connectors is often
necessary in cryogenic systems. Remember, the thermocouple wire is the sensor;
any time it joins or contacts other metal, there is potential for error.
D
Temperature verification and calibration of room temperature compensation is
difficult after the sensor is installed. When possible, keep a piece of scrap wire
from each installation for future use.
D
Thermocouples can be spot-welded to the cryostat for good thermal anchoring as
long as the cryostat has a potential close to earth ground.
3.5.9.3 Grounding and Shielding
Care must be taken to minimize the amount of noise contributed by ground loops,
when grounding thermocouple inputs. For lowest measurement noise, do not ground
thermocouple sensors. The instrument operates with slightly more noise if one of the
thermocouples is grounded. Be sure to minimize loop area when grounding both
thermocouples. The instrument does not offer a shield connection on the terminal
block. Twisting the thermocouple wires helps reject noise. If shielding is necessary,
extend the shield from the oven or cryostat to cover the thermocouple wire, but do
not attach the shield to the instrument.
3.6 Heater Output
Setup
The following section covers the heater wiring from the vacuum shroud to the instru-
ment for both heater outputs. Specifications are detailed in section 1.6. For help on
choosing and installing an appropriate resistive heater, refer to section 2.11.
3.6.1 Heater Output
Description
This section describes Output 1 and Output 2.
