Introduction
Our TC M series of Temperature Controllers are designed for use with thermoelectric coolers also known as
TEC’s or Peltier devices. These offer precise temperature control from –200 ºC to 100ºC at up to 0.001ºC
stability. Our controller can be setup or controlled from a PC via USB this allows access to output limits,
PID terms, deviation alarms and operating modes.
A typical use for any precise temperature control system would be with laser diodes, infrared detection,
high gain amplifiers and cold plate assemblies.
The TC M series temperature controller is suitable for controlling single and multiple TEC arrays. It provides
a pulse width modulated output which effective provides a continuously variable output for cooling and
heating.
It is programmable from a PC allowing configuration and tuning to meet system requirements. This
configuration data is stored internally allowing standalone operation once programmed. Its interface and
command set allow the unit to be controlled remotely, in particular this allows changing of the set point and
alarm temperature settings.
