Miniature TEC Controller, typical cooling capacity ~6 W, up to ±1.2 A / ±9.6 V output, ≤0.01 °C stability

Product Overview:

High Stability TEC Controller 

The TEC-1092 is a very small, PCB mountable Peltier controller module that is specially designed to meet the requirements for small thermo-electric laser diode cooling and sensor cooling applications. It provides high current resolution and is a highly efficient controller (DC output).

Auxiliary Temperature Sensors for Added Safety

The TEC-1092 is delivered configured for an NTC (thermistor) temperature sensor. The TEC-1092 is also configured with an auxiliary temperature input that allow the connection of an NTC temperature sensor located on the heat sink of the Peltier elements; the auxiliary sensor can be used to ensure the thermal safety of the system by preventing thermal runaway. The analog measurement circuit is factory calibrated.

Digital Control via Flexible Software

The TEC-1092 controllers are digitally controllable through software or API and scripting. A LabVIEW VI (PDF) option is also available to operate the TEC controller. Other communications and security features are used to help enhance the product's functional range. The TEC-1092’s configurable parameters further include sensor linearization (Pt100 / Pt1000), Steinhart-Hart modeling (NTC) and Voltage output temperature sensors, Peltier element modeling, PID controller auto tuning, temperature acquisition hardware calibration, nominal temperature ramping, current, voltage and temperature limits, error thresholds, and many others.

EVL-1093 Integration Board for Rapid Prototyping

These laser diode and sensor TEC controllers can be mounted on the EVL-1093 Integration Board to allow the connection to a host by USB, as well as using a DPY-1113 TEC Status Display Kit. It can also operate in a remotely-controlled manner, with the parameters adjusted on the fly.
