Main Features
Single or dual power supply configurations allow a wide range of output voltages:
Single power supply configuration:
≥9 VDC, <50 VDC input, powering both controller and TE device
Dual power supply configuration:
≥9 VDC, <50 VDC at 150 mA minimum for controller circuitry
≥0 VDC, <50 VDC for TE device
Maximum output current: 20 A combined TE device and alarm current (Note: controller does not have
current limiting capability or internal fuse protection)
Cool‐only or heat‐only control modes, menu selectable
Temperature control range: –20 °C to +100 °C using the MP‐3193 thermistor supplied with the controller,
or ‐20 °C to +85 °C using a thermistor equivalent to 10 k‐ohm, curve “B” from YSI Temperature, Inc.
Optional secondary thermistor input for sensing alarm conditions
Two available alarm outputs, capable of sinking up to 1 A each, for triggering alarms based on the primary
(control) sensor and/or secondary sensor
Best‐case control stability ±0.1 °C (when controlling a cold plate)
Proportional (P) bandwidth adjustment: 0.5 °C to 100.0 °C
Integral gain (I) adjustment: 0.00 to 10.00 repeats per minute
Derivative gain (D) adjustment: 0.00 to 10.00 cycles per minute
Output: square wave, 337 Hz, pulse‐width modulated, with soft start
Analog proportional output signal for controlling programmable linear power supplies
Operating temperature range (non‐condensing, total combined alarm and load current):
Minimum: 0 °C
Maximum: 48 °C horizontal orientation, 20 A output; 55 °C vertical orientation, 20 A output; 53 °C
horizontal orientation, 17 A output; 59 °C vertical orientation, 17 A output.
Computer programmable via RS 232 communication; includes software (An optional RS‐232 cable, part
number MP‐3023, is required)
RoHS compliant
