GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

Quickly interface an ultrastable WTC3243 
Temperature Controller to your thermoelectric 
or resistive heater load without having to 
design a printed circuit board. Onboard 
switches, jumpers, and trimpots make 
operation simple.
Control temperature using thermistors, 
100 

 Platinum RTDs, or linear temperature 

sensors such as the LM335 or the AD590.  
Adjust temperature using the onboard trimpot 
or a remote voltage.  Other adjustable 
trimpots con

fi

 gure heat and cool current 

limits, proportional gain, and integrator time 
constant.  A dipswitch allows the sensor bias 
current to be optimized for your sensor type.  
High power applications can use the onboard 
fan connections to power a WXC303 or 
WXC304 (+5 or +12 V) DC fan attached to a 
WHS302 heatsink.
