Thermostat Interface
In order to extend the ambient temperature range of LaserSpeed gauges, you 
can provide water or air cooling/heating. This is often accomplished by 
connecting the gauge to a recirculating heater/chiller, but can also be 
accomplished by using the gauge's thermostat output. LaserSpeed gauges 
monitor their internal temperatures, and can provide an output indicating when 
cooling/heating is required. This output can be connected to a valve or a PLC 
in order to control the flow of coolant. The thermostat output is available as an 
alternate configuration of the Index Pulse, the High Speed Pulse Output 
(Phase B), and the User Scaleable Pulse Output (Phase B.)

The Thermostat Output turns on (voltage high) when the internal gauge 
temperature rises above 40ºC, and turns off when the internal gauge 
decreases below 35ºC. 
The output can 
be connected to 
an electrically 
operated valve 
as shown.
