Lab TE Controller
General purpose Thermo-electric controller

This general purpose TE controller was designed to temperature control infrared detectors with either integrated or external Thermo-electric Coolers. Features include:

Single ground referenced input supports three sensor types:
Voltage type: 10mV/deg K
Current type: 1uA/deg K
Resistance type: -4.7%/deg K

Constant power thermistor excitation: 250uW

Thermistor acceptance range=300 to 300K ohms

TE output includes heating and cooling power
Ground referenced, short circuit proof
Cooling power=2A, 12V (6 ohm load)
0.5A,3V (6 ohm load)

Control Temperature includes Ambient
Seamless heat to cool, cool to heat transitions

Limited temperature rate of change
10 deg K per Second, low thermal shock

Variable Gain and Response Time Settings

120/240 VAC, 50/60Hz operation
