PERATION
The ThermoCube 200/300/400 comes with preset operating
parameters that will work well for most applications. If temperature
control at one temperature is desired, follow the steps below.
1)
Turn on the ThermoCube and wait for display to read TEMP.
2)
Press the UP or DOWN keys to change SETTEMP1 to the
desired set point.
3)
Press ENTER to accept the value.
4)
Press the START/STOP key to begin controlling to the
temperature just entered (SETTEMP1). The Operating Mode
will now show “‒” (cooling) or “+” (heating).
5)
Pressing START/STOP while the unit is controlling temperature
will stop temperature control. The Operating Mode will now
show “*” for Standby (not controlling).
Caution
: Do not externally shut off the flow of coolant for more than
a ten second period; pump damage will result if run deadheaded for
extended periods of time.
The ThermoCube will now control to the set point temperature. To
change the set point temperatures just press the UP or DOWN keys
again to change SETTEMP 1 to the new set point, followed by
ENTER and then START/STOP. The Operating Mode will now
show “
‒” (cooling) or “+” (heating). If the Operating Mode shows
“*”, press START/STOP to begin controlling.

PERATION
The ThermoCube 200/300/400 controller has three menus: the Status
Menu, the Temperature Input Menu and the Parameter Input Menu.
The Status Menu shows the chiller operating status and current
temperature of fluid leaving the chiller (see figure 5). The Status
Menu also allows input of new coolant temperature set-points when
the cycling feature is off. The Temperature Input Menu allows input
of set point temperatures; soak times, number of cycles if cycling
between two temperatures, and an alarm temperature. The Parameter
Input Menu allows input of the temperature units; the time units for
soak times, the PID parameters and the auto tune function.
The PID parameters have been preset at the factory for most
applications. If, however, temperature control in not sufficiently
accurate or if overshoot is excessive, the PID parameters may be
modified. Unless the user is well versed in PID theory, we
recommend calling Solid State Cooling Systems technical support
group for assistance.
