CTC100 Programmable Temperature Controller
The CTC100
of the heater output and sensor input circuits. Air
enters through vents in the top and rear of the instrument and exits through a vent in the bottom
cover. The vents should always be left unobstructed, or the CTC100 may overheat and be
damaged.
The heater output and sensor input circuits are located on four I/O cards. At every A/D
conversion, each I/O card reads an internal temperature sensor and determines how fast it needs
the system fan to run. The main system processor reads the desired fan speed from each I/O card
and sets the fan to the fastest requested speed.
For the heater output cards, the requested fan speed depends on the temperature of
heatsink, the amount of current being delivered, and the voltage drop across the heater. If the
temperature of a heater card exceeds 60°C, its output is automatically shut off. Set the output to
zero to re-enable it, for example, by pressing the Output Enable key (which will disable all the

and the temperature specified with the Channel.PCB control. If the card temperature is below its
Channel.PCB setting, the card
The
default PCB setting is 35°C.
It s possible to display and log the I/O card temperatures by setting the System.Display.Monitors
control to Show.
The fan speed can be overridden with the System.Other.Fan remote command. This should only
be done if it s certain that the heater output cards will not overheat; otherwise, the CTC100 may
be damaged.
Besides the main system fan, the CTC100 also has an internal fan that periodically turns on to
keep the main power supply cool. This fan runs even when the CTC100 is in system standby mode.
A 19-inch rack mount tray, SRS part number O100CTRM, is available for the CTC100. The tray
will accept either one or two CTC100s or other half-rack instruments. Note that although the
CTC100 chassis is 3U high, the rack mount tray is 4U high.
vent is on the bottom of the chassis. When rack mounting the
instrument, it is important to ensure that the vent is not blocked.
