Product Overview:

180 Watt TEC Controller Overview

The TEC-20 model 180 Watt TEC controller is optimized for fast and accurate temperature stabilization of high power laser diodes and Peltier controlled thermal loads. The controller drives up to 10 amps and 18 volts of bipolar power to the Peltier element being used to cool your laser.

Controller Features

The full PID loop provides millidegree temperature stability, and can quickly stabilize high heat loads to the temperature set-point to reduce the risk of damage to your laser.

User adjustable upper and lower temperature limits can be programmed to protect the laser diode and the Peltier device. Additionally, TEC output current limits are user-configured to protect the Peltier device from over-drive damage.

Multiple Temperature Sensor Inputs

The TEC controller is equipped with two universal temperature sensor inputs, suitable for use with 10k Ohm NTC thermistors, and an additional 4-wire sensor input is available for use with a PT100 RTD temperature sensor.

These additional sensor inputs are used to control an auxiliary device, such as a heat-sink fan, or an external electro-optical device in laboratory or manufacturing testing applications. The auxiliary control is capable of 24 V and 500 mA output.

Front Panel and Remote User Interface
Controller setup is fast and intuitive via the front panel LCD display and alphanumeric interface, with a simple to use menu structure and key pad.

These systems come with standard an RS-232 interface, and an optional USB-RS232 adapter is available as an accessory. The included LabView driver GUI makes set-up and control of the system fast and simple. The controller can be ordered with a USB interface; contact us for more information.

Accessories Available to Enable Fast Setup

Useful accessories are available to simplify setup and operation of the controller. Two connecting cables are available, both with a 15-pin D-sub connector to connect to the back panel. The unterminated cable has bare wires ready for a custom application; the other cable is terminated with a 15-pin D-sub connector to interface with a compatible TEC-controlled mount.
