TC2bip-Controls

Front controls
TEMP1,2: setpoints allow switching between two preset temperatures.
POWER: Controls overall output power to limit rate of temp increase and put controller in standby mode.
Aux/Main: Display temperature of main probe or auxiliary probe. Output at rear can be used to monitor Aux temperature continuously with a DVM.
Cool/Heat or Heat: Cool/Heat is used for Peltier devices. Heat is used for resistance type heaters.
OUTPUTS: LEDs display output current and direction of current.
Aux On/Off: Shuts down Aux output.
Low Pwr: Indicates when power input is too low for proper function.

Rear controls
PROBE Main: Accepts TH-2Km, YSI-400 and YSI-500 series or compatible probes. Two adjustments allow customization for miniature non-interchangeable probes (eg. TH-1).        
OUT: Temperature output for DVM, computer or chart recorder.        
Ext In: Allows input from other probes (eg. Sensortek). Automatically switches to external input.
PROBE Aux: Accepts inexpensive interchangeable thermistor probe.
T Aux Offset: Offsets Aux reference +/-6oC.
LIMITS: Sets max output voltage for particular heater type. Min is max output voltage for Peltier for cooling.
OUTPUTS: Output to Main heater (or Peltier) and Aux heater (pre-heater or Peltier). (3rd channel uses MiniDIN connector for heater/thermistor.)
Fuses: Protects controller power amplifier from overload.
Ext T Ref: External temperature programming (eg. for computer setting of temperature).
PMain: Proportional gain for main output.
IMain: Integral gain for main output.
Integ On: Integrator on/off control.
PAux: Proportional gain for auxiliary output.
GMain: Overall gain of output amplifier for main output.
GAux: Overall gain of output amplifier for auxiliary output.
Aux=Main: Aux output=GAux/GMain x Main output (pre-heater as slave).
