Main Features
•
Single or dual power supply input configuration:
Single power supply configuration:
(9 to 26) VDC, powering both controller and TE device
Dual power supply configuration:
(9 to 26) VDC at 0.15 A for controller circuitry,
(0 to 40) VDC for TE device
•
Maximum output current: 10 A (Note: controller does not have current limiting capability)
•
Heat-only or cool-only control modes, selectable by jumper switch
•
Temperature control range:
–
20 °C to +100 °C, requires the MP-3238 thermistor (supplied with the
controller), or its electrical equivalent
•
Best-case control stability ±0.5 °C (when controlling a cold plate)
•
Proportional (P) bandwidth adjustment: 0.5 °C to 5.0 °C
•
Integral Rate (I) adjustment: 0 to 2.55 repeats per minute
•
Output: Square wave, 1000 Hz, Pulse-width modulated
•
Operating temperature range 0 °C to 50 °C ambient (with aluminum mounting plate in a vertical position
allowing free air convection)
•
0.25 inch quick connect terminals for power, cooler, and thermistor connections
•
RoHS compliant
The controller’s operating temperature range is 0 °C to 50 °C ambient. The range can be extended to 70 °C with
proper heat-sinking. If the controller is to operate in an ambient greater than 50 °C, consult with TE Technology
engineers for further assistance. See “
Mechanical Package Drawing
” for dimensional information on the
controller.
For high-volume applications the controller can be customized:
✓
Adjustment potentiometers can be replaced with preprogrammed set-point and tuning parameters
✓
Resistance versus temperature curves for other types of thermistors can be programmed
