Sensor Type
– the type of TEC element associated with the controller:
If
Transducer
is selected, the Main Display shows values in degrees centigrade.
If
20 KOhm Thermistor
is selected, the Main Display shows values in kOhms.
If
200 KOhm Thermistor
is selected, the Main Display shows values in kOhms.
Current Limit
– The maximum current that the TEC controller can source to the TEC
element. Values must be within the range –1 A to +1 A.
Feedback Loop Settings
- The Control Loop parameters can be used to fine tune the
behaviour of the fee dback loop to cha nges in the output temperature, and these
parameters need to b e adjusted to su it the different types sen sor that can be
connected to the system. The default values have been optimised to work with most
standard sensors, so usually these values can be left unchanged.
Proportional
- sets the proportional feedback loop gain (1 to 100) (default 60).
Integral
- sets the integral feedback loop gain (0 to 100) (default 0).
Differential
- sets the integral feedback loop gain (0 to 100) (default 20).
Display Intensity
- determines the brightness of the control panel display.
Enter a value from 0 to 255.
Persist Settings to Hardware
- Save the parameter setting to the device.
