Overview
The
5C7-195 is a convenient way to control a Thermoelectric
Module or resistive heater. The front panel provides a convenient way
to
select and adjust the Actual Temperature, Set Temperature, Alarm
Temperature,
and the DC Voltage output. This unit plugs into an AC outlet and has
its
own, internal switching power supply to provide selectable 3.5 to 20
vdc.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
FOR DISPLAY AND ADJUSTMENT
PC
communications via a computer's
"RS232
communications interface" allows you to set additional
configuration
parameters. One RS232 COM port on your computer will configure and
monitor
one controller. The user friendly, configuration software requires no
prior
programming experience to establish operation. Once the desired set
parameters
are established, the PC may be disconnected and the controller becomes
a unique, stand alone controller. All parameter settings are retained
in
non-volatile memory.
A controller command set is provided for qualified personnel to
program
a custom software interface or use as an embedded control.
The back panel provides easy connection to power, sensors, and
RS-232.
Screw down connectors are used to provide power from an external power
supply in place of the internal power supply.
A user supplied external power supply can provide a wider
range
of voltages and a higher amperage.
A Pulse Width Modulated controller, or
PWM controller, is a
type
of
switched-mode controller. Our PWM controllers use square
waves
of varying widths and at a high frequency to provide power to the
"load"
(heater/cooler). Low power dissipation and precision control of the
load
make this type of temperature controller perferrable to analog
controllers.
The 5C7-195 can turn off the output power if there is a high
temperature
alarm or a low temperature alarm state. You can select for one of the
following:
No Alarm, High Alarm, or Low Alarm. However, the alarm sensor is a
separate
sensor from the control sensor. So if you want to use an alarm, for
example,
to prevent thermal runaway (High Alarm), you need two sensors - one for
control and one for the alarm.
WORKS WITH PELTIER MODULES OR RESISTIVE HEATERS, FANS, ETC.!
These controllers provide bi-phase heating
and
cooling
(automatically switching between heating and cooling as needed),
or
single-phase heating
or
cooling
(heats only, or cools only). Besides peltier modules, these controllers
work with thin film resistive heaters and other DC voltage
devices.
Note: Prices shown are for the controllers
only.
TE modules are available but not included in the controller
pricing.

For Fiber Optic Components and Laser Diodes. . .
Our customized
TEC Controllers are widely used for OEM Fiber Optic Component and Laser Diode commercial products.
Telecom coolers.
Laser diode temperature control.
WDM temperature control (Wavelength Division Multiplexer).
DWDM temperature control (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexer).
AWG temperature control (Arrayed Waveguide).
FBG temperature control (fiber Bragg grating).
and temperature control for other temperature sensitive fiber optic components.
And our standard controllers are used in Q&A, university projects, or the laboratory.
Temperature Control of Fiber Optic Components and Laser Diodes
If you need to control the temperature of electronic or fiber optic components, you are probably considering a small resistive heater or TE (peltier) module. The TE module is a common choice for temperatures near or lower than ambient because they can cool as well as heat. A resistive heater may be a good choice for high temperatures. Our customers are generally looking to control DC voltage TE modules or heaters.
Start your R&D with our standard controllers. More power and feature rich, they will help you define your requirements. Standard TEC Controllers (TECC) are at the top of our Descriptive Index. These have PC communications, but you only use that for PC based configuration or monitoring, or for operation from your own custom program. Otherwise, these can run stand-alone.
Depending upon the overall dynamics of your thermal system, it is possible to achieve a laser diode or fiber optic component spectral stability of ±0.1 nm (±0.001 Absorbance Units) or better using one of the standard controllers.

RS232 SERIAL PORT CONNECTION
Usually you connect to the serial port of the computer using
a female DB9 or female DB25 connector. Also referred to as a
female 9 pin, or female 25 pin, D-shell connector. The serial
port is RS232C (or RS-232C). RS232 stands for Recommended
Standard number 232, and the C stands for revision C. Each RS232
device at our site connects to an RS232C serial port through
a cable you provide (unless otherwise noted). 3 wires are generally
used: Signal Ground, Trasmitted Data (TD), and Received Data (RD),
otherwise referred to as Ground, Transmit and Receive. At both
ends of the cable, pin 1 is Ground. At the computer,
Receive is pin 2, while at the peripheral (e.g., temperature controller)
it is pin 3. At the computer,
Transmit is pin 3, while at the peripheral it is pin 2. The connection
is made via "twisted pair" - which
means the Transmit and Receive lines are twisted around each
other along their length, from one end to the other. For the cable, solid copper wire
is preferred over stranded wire simply because there are no strands
at the end that can break off, or bend out, and short the connection. With appropriate
converters you could connect by other means, such as infra-red light (e.g., IrDA).
RS485 Serial Communications
RS485 (Recommended Standard 485) is specified to handle up to 32 devices in one
loop. The "loop" is a length of 2 or 3 wires: +, - and ground. The devices
tap into the wires along their length. The end of the + and - pair of wires
is terminated with a resistor. Modern ICs used as an interface to the loop
can sometimes handle more that 32 devices on one loop. It is sometimes
possible to have 64 or 96 or more devices on the same loop. With RS232/RS485
converters, each loop uses one of the computer's COM ports. Baud rates
greater than 100,000 baud are possible depending on the computer and the
operating system. An edge connector allows you to attach a cable for the
RS-485. 2 wires minimum [A and B, or (+) and (-)] are usually needed but
COMMON is provided as well. Any untwisted wire is fine for a short run,
but best, especially for long runs, is shielded, twisted pair, 120 Ohm
characteristic impedance cable. for more detailed information see our library
document RS-485
Serial Interface.
AMBIENT OPERATING TEMPERATURES
Definition of Ambient Temperature
"The temperature of the atmosphere, liquid, or other medium surrounding an object."
Source: The World Book Dictionary, © 1966 by Doubleday & Company, Inc.
Low Ambient Operating Temperatures
Almost all of our temperature controllers will function at ambient temperatures down to -20ºC (-4ºF).
Many designs will accept a -40ºC (-40ºF) operating ambient. Custom controllers can be built to operate down to -55ºC (-67ºF).
Operation at the low ambient is determined by the ICs used and their ability to have
the correct gain and stable states. The output or load circuit may require
increased drive to turn on. Any design that is specified to a low ambient
operating temperature has been tested and shown to provide sufficient output
drive at that temperature.
High Ambient Operating Temperatures
The high temperature is harder to define than the low, because the high ambient
operating temperature depends upon the controller power dissipation and
the heat sink dissipation.
For all our Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) controllers the following applies:
The power dissipation of the controller is largely a function of the load
current, and only slightly a function of the input voltage. Example: A
unit running at 28v and 25 amps will dissipate the same power into the
base as one which is 12v and 25 amps, however reducing the load current
to 12.5 amps will reduce the power dissipation into the base by 1/2.
For an analog controller, the standard 1/4 power point analysis applies
when determining power dissipation.
Specific Examples
TECC:
The TE controllers are limited by the base plate (mounting bracket) temperature,
because this is the heat sink for the bi-phase H-Bridge. Under full load
the controller will be dissipating approximately 15 watts into the base
plate, Therefore, if the controller is operated at elevated temperatures
you need to provide additional heat sinking for the base plate. At laboratory
temperatures (room temperature, about 20ºC or 70ºF) the controller
will reach about 75ºC under full load. So if you provide an additional
heat sink which results in, say. 70ºC in a 50ºC ambient, the
controller will still function appropriately.
Model 5C6-353: This Laboratory Benchtop Temperature Controller with a 10
Ampere maximum output is designed to run in a laboratory environment. Maximum
ambient operating temperature is 35ºC to 40ºC (95ºF to 104ºF).
Model 5C6-355: This Laboratory Benchtop Temperature Controller with a 15
Ampere maximum output is designed to run in a laboratory environment. Maximum
ambient operating temperature is 30ºC (86ºF).
Model 5CX-140: The 5CX-140 series of controllers have a "derating curve"
(see below) on the customer drawing that is defined by the temperature of the case.
