INTRODUCTION AND SPECIFICATIONS CHAPTER 1 Installation Installation This section describes the procedures for installing and removing a TCM-39032 module from the LDC-3900. Note: The LDC-3900 will power up in a default state upon detecting any change in the LDC-3900 system configuration (such as installing a new module). All parameters (except SAVE / RECALL settings) will be set to default values, based on the new configuration. Calibration data is stored in the TCM-39032 module itself, and i

OPERATION CHAPTER 2 SENSOR SELECT Switches SENSOR SELECT Switches The SENSOR SELECT and THERM RANGE switches are used to select sensor type and, in the case of thermistor sensor, the source current level. Table 2.1 shows the SENSOR SELECT ( THERM RANGE) positions and corresponding position code. When the sensor switch is changed during TEC mode operation, the new sensor position code will be indicated on the TEC display for three seconds. SWITCH Position Code 100 µ A -- 01 10 µ A -- 02 LM33

OPERATION CHAPTER 2 Booster Operation present, the TEC Interlock Error condition / event will be reported in the TEC Event Status REgister and the TEC Condition Status Register. This circuit is useful for remote monitoring of temperature, and therefore is labeled TEMP LIMIT on the back panel connector. This interlock is intended for use with an external current booster. A switch or control circuit of the user’s own design is required. It is left as an option which the user may or may not emp
