Display and Configuration Buttons –
Display : Press this button to toggle between the main display and the display of
the alternate temperature probe.
Config : This button toggles through a list of configuration parameters like set point
and alarms.
PID : To adjust the PID value of a controlled temperature probe, press this button.
SRC : To change the sensor that is used as the control value, press this button.
You can configure the ATC2000 to control the temperature of the plate, the RTD
probe or the thermocouple probe. All three sensors are monitored, but only one
temperature is controlled. Typically, the plate temperature is the control value until
it reaches the set point. Then, the animal’s temperature should become the control
value during a procedure.
Up / Down : These two buttons are used to adjust configuration parameters.
Alarm Indicator LEDs –The red LEDs illuminate to indicate an alarm state.
Plate Alarm : This red LED illuminates when the plate temperature exceeds 45°C.
Sensor : This red LED illuminates when the controlled temperature falls outside the
high and low alarm limits set using the configuration menu.
Status Indicator LED –This heartbeat LED blinks continuously to indicate that the unit
is operational and the control loops are running. Like a heartbeat monitor, it indicates
the “health” of the ATC2000 system.
Heater Plate Connector –Align the pins of the Heater Plate connector to this port to
connect the plate to the control box.
Analog Outputs –If desired, the analog outputs can be connected to a data
acquisition system using BNC cables. For both outputs, 50mV = 1°C.
Plate : The plate temperature can be monitored.
Probe : The controlled probe temperature (either the RTD or TC probe) can be
monitored.
Temperature Probe Connectors (RTD and TC)–An RTD probe and a thermocouple
probe can be connected to their respective ports. While both temperatures will be
monitored, only one can be controlled at a time.
NOTE
: The
ATC2000
powers up in normal mode with the heat source set as the
default heat source stored in memory from the previous use. See “Setting Controlled
Temperature” on page 8 to activate an external probe.
USB PC Interface –This output is for future development.
