*Note:
Heat and cool transition times are measured in an empty chamber after a 30 minute soak at the start
temperature, as indicated on the temperature controller.
Transition times do not include the effect of proportional
band when approaching the temperature set point.

Power Requirements
Input Voltage
88 to 132VAC / 176 to 264VAC, 50/60 Hz (internal switch for voltage range)
NOTE:
Model TEC1-001 is rated for 115 V nominal input only.
Current Draw
6A at 115 VAC, 3.5A at 230 VAC
Workspace Dimensions
16" W x 8" H x 13" D (0.96 cubic feet)
Outside Dimensions
24.7" W x 12" H x 20.4" D (nominal)
Min. Installed Clearance
4" from the rear
Cable Notch
1" x 3" Cable Notch on left and right side (two total).
Weight
52 pounds
Sound Level
Less than 50 dBA
(A-weighted, measured 36" from the front surface in a free-standing environment)
NOTE:
Performance is typical and based on operation at 23°C (73°F) ambient and nominal input voltage. This
product is designed for use in a normal conditioned laboratory. Operation at higher ambient temperatures will result
in decreased cooling performance. Operation above 27°C (80°F) will have a significant impact on low-temperature
operation.
