Note: Current flows from TEC- to TEC+. Connect the TEC+ lead to pin J3-7
and the TEC- lead to pin J3-6. Keep the wires as short as possible to reduce
lead voltage drop at high current.
Refer to AD590 and LM335 datasheets for instructions on using those sensors.

WIRE THE LDTC TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER,
ALTERNATE APPLICATIONS
The LDTC can be wired in a number of different configurations
using different temperature sensors and load transducers.
identifies which wiring diagram to use for each case.
If the sensor is not a 10 kΩ thermistor then you must make
internal modifications to the LDTC. Refer to
for instructions on changing the internal gain resistor and
sensor bias resistor.
