Lower Peltier Plate
NOTE
: For Peltier Plate installation instructions, refer to TRIOS software online Help.
CAUTION: Do not tamper with the four screws in the top cover of the Peltier assembly, as this will
result in damage to the Peltier Plate.
MISE EN GARDE: Ne touchez pas aux quatre vis du couvercle supérieur de l'ensemble Peltier, car
cela risque d'endommager la plaque Peltier.
The Lower Peltier Plate environmental control unit utilizes a solid-state thermoelectric heat pump to con-
trol the temperature of the lower geometry, which is an integral part of the assembly. In general, the solid-
state heat pump consists of multiple semiconductor devices in series, alternating P-type and N-type.
Changes in current direction control the heating or cooling of the Peltier element and hence the lower
geometry plate. The devices are placed between the lower geometry and a heat sink. A source of water is
needed for the Peltier to remove the heat generated by the Peltier elements.

WARNING: At all times while operating the Peltier system, ensure that the circu-
lator is connected to the Peltier Assembly, and the circulator pump is ON.
AVERTISSEMENT: À chaque utilisation du système Peltier, assurez-vous que le
circulateur est connecté à l'ensemble Peltier et que la pompe de circulation est
en marche.
WARNING: The sample test surface can reach temperatures that cause
personal injury. Allow the Peltier System to return to ambient temperature
BEFORE you touch the sample test surface or the sample.
AVERTISSEMENT: La surface d'essai de l'échantillon peut atteindre des tempéra-
tures qui provoquent des blessures corporelles. Laissez le système Peltier reve-
nir à la température ambiante AVANT de toucher la surface d'essai de
l'échantillon ou l'échantillon.
