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

an electrically
