TE Technology TC-24-10 - Manual (Page 10)

Power supply and TE Device wire leads should be kept as short as possible to minimize electrical
losses and reduce the likelihood of generating unwanted electromagnetic interference. Wire length
must not exceed one meter. Use wires of a sufficient gage appropriate to the amount of electrical
energy each wire is to carry. Wire insulation and size must also be appropriate to the ambient
temperature and/or temperature of objects in contact with the wire. Wire leads supplied by TE
Technology are for prototyping purposes and should be reviewed for appropriateness in the final
application.
Use protection devices to prevent hazardous conditions and/or damage to the load (e.g. cooling
assembly, heater, etc.) and other related equipment. Protection devices must operate
independently of the temperature controller circuitry. Protection devices should be placed at all
points on the load and related equipment where a hazardous condition can be detected. These
protection devices should de‐energize the TC‐24‐10, the load, and, as necessary, other related
secondary equipment. It is further recommended that such devices require the user to remove and
correct the root cause of a fault before allowing the TC‐24‐10, the load, and related equipment to
be re‐energized. Protection devices should include, but are not limited to:

Fuses to prevent against electrical overloads,

Over/under temperature thermostats to prevent against hazardous and/or damaging
temperatures,

Liquid flow meters to prevent against damage due to loss of coolant flow
The TC‐24‐10 controller (in conjunction with the standard and optional sensors) can not detect
under‐temperature and over‐temperature conditions. Therefore, hazards and/or risk of loss or
damage to the load (e.g. cooling assembly, heater, etc.), and/or secondary equipment could
occur if the temperature controller and/or sensors were to malfunction. Therefore, independent,
redundant protection devices are recommended in addition to the safeguards provided by the
temperature controller.
