ULTRA-STABLE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER The TC LAB series of temperature controllers integrates high-end digital control with a precision output current drive stage to offer the best stability temperature control instrument commercially available today. Many different sensors can be used in the feedback loop including thermistors, RTDs, linear current and linear voltage sensors. Two models are available driving 10 A or 15 A maximum with
15 V (20 V for TC15) compliance to the thermoelectric or
resistive heater. Safety features protect the thermoelectric [TE] and its load. Over- and under-temperature limits as well as positive and negative current limits can be set. If the sensor signal is lost or a short is detected at the TE, output current is disabled. If temperature limits are exceeded, TE current is disabled and a signal to the active load can be sent to disable its current. For example, connect the LD Shutdown BNC output to the Active Lock input on Wavelength’s QCL LAB driver and the QCL current will shut down if temperature limits are exceeded. An Auxiliary Sensor can be used to monitor the temperature of the system heatsink. INTUITIVE USER INTERFACE AND SUPERIOR REMOTE CONTROL With Wavelength’s plug and play instrument, you have the ability to quickly set the controls using either the instrument touchscreen or a remote computer. INTELLITUNE: INTELLIGENT AUTOTUNE Wavelength’s proprietary IntelliTune algorithm characterizes the TE/sensor system’s response to the controller and determines the optimal PID control coefficients. It then automatically adjusts the PID control values as setpoint, tuning mode, or bias current change. Run IntelliTune easily just off ambient and watch it change PID settings for a much higher or lower setpoint. After a single scan, explore either optimized Setpoint Response or Disturbance Rejection performance with your load to see which works best. Add or remove the D term to see if noise is an issue. IntelliTune lets you skip the manual characterization and it’s smart enough to really work—very little adjustment is needed after you have stored a successful characterization scan. See

Minimum Stability achieved by measuring 1 standard deviation (1σ) away from the mean. Typical Stability achieved by measuring 3 standard deviations (3σ) away from the mean. For more detail, see TN-TC02. Stability typical for a 14 pin butterfly package laser diode with a 10 kΩ thermistor. Stability will vary with different load types, thermal designs, and sensors. RTDs and linear voltage and current sensors are much less sensitive than thermistors to temperature change, so stability results will not match these specifications. See TN-TC01 for maximizing system performance. 2 When using resistive heaters, stability can only be consistently achieved when setpoint temperatures are 10ºC or more over ambient. 3 A fixed, non-volatile bias current can be configured with a custom sensor using remote command CONST:THERM with Firmware Versions 1.99 and 2.01 and later. See the LAB Series Command Set User Guide for more details.

- Thermoelectric or Resistive Heater and temperature sensor for feedback COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS FOR REMOTE OPERATION ONLY (OPTIONAL) Operating System: Windows XP SP2 or later ESD INFORMATION Before proceeding, it is critical that you take precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the load. ESD damage can result from improper handling of sensitive electronics, and is easily preventable with simple precautions. REMOTE OPERATION The TC LAB can be controlled by a remote computer using the Command Set (see the LAB Series Command Set User Guide) or with a LabVIEW Virtual Instrument application (see the Virtual Instrument User Guide). THEORY OF OPERATION The TC LAB Series are high-current temperature controllers that deliver bidirectional current to Peltier Effect thermoelectric coolers (TE), or unidirectional current to resistive heaters (RH). The fundamental operating principle is that the controller adjusts the output drive current in order to change the temperature of the sensor that is connected to the thermal load. The goal is to make the sensor temperature match the setpoint temperature, and then keep them equal in spite of changes to ambient conditions and variations in thermal load. While output is enabled, the controller continuously compares the setpoint temperature and the actual sensor temperature. If there is a difference between the two, the controller adjusts the output current—thereby driving the TE or heater to heat or cool—until the difference is zero. The controller includes features that help protect the load from damage, and also make it more versatile in a wide array of applications. Current Limits: The adjustable current limits must be set correctly in order to avoid over-driving and damaging the TE or heater. Control Loop: The controller employs a smart Proportional- Integral-Derivative control loop to adjust the drive current. The terms are user-adjustable and, when properly configured, will quickly settle the load temperature with minimal overshoot and ringing. Voltage Limit: The voltage to the TE can be limited through remote commands. Temperature Limits: Set high and low temperature limits to either report an over temperature condition at the load or use them to trigger a Shutdown signal to turn off a Laser Diode / QCL or other device driver to eliminate the active heat load and protect the device. Additionally, if temperature limits are exceeded, TE current will be disabled. Sensor Disconnect/Failure Protection: If a short or open circuit is detected at the sensor, the output current is disabled. TE Failure Protection: If a short is detected across the thermoelectric, the output current is also disabled. IntelliTune: Wavelength’s proprietary algorithm characterizes the TE / Sensor system’s response to the TC LAB temperature controller and determines the optimal PID control coefficients. Then it automatically adjusts the PID control values as setpoint, tuning mode, or bias current are changed. These instructions are for operating the TC LAB Series instrument. Fuses are provided and installed. We recommend using a test load until you are familiar with operation of the instrument.

PROBLEM POTENTIAL CAUSES SOLUTIONS The Enable button does not turn on The button has been turned on and off within 2 seconds. The button cannot be pressed faster than every 2 seconds. The instrument experienced an internal fault. (See Error Messages.) The instrument will remain disabled until manually powered off and then on using the rear panel power switch. The instrument heatsink temperature has exceeded 70ºC. Allow the instrument to cool down and then press the front panel power button. The front panel Power button is not on. Press the Power button on the front panel to enable the display. The instrument is on but the front panel display is blank The instrument experienced an internal fault. (See Error Messages.) Switch the back panel power button off and then on again, and turn the front panel power button on. The internal temperature has reached an unsafe level. Allow the instrument to cool down and then switch the back panel power button off and then on again, and turn the front panel power button on. The front panel Power button is pulsing on and off in standby mode. Press the Power button on the front panel to enable the display. The date and time on my TC scan file are wrong The TC LAB instrument does not have a realtime clock. When a TC scan file is created, the date and time stamp are randomly chosen.

The output switched off unexpectedly The instrument detected an internal error. (See Error Messages.) Switch the back panel power button off and then on again, and turn the front panel power button on. The internal temperature has exceeded 70ºC. Allow the instrument to cool down and then press the front panel power button. My instrument doesn’t show up in the list. (Remote Only) Your instrument may not be turned on. Power up the instrument and click Refresh on the Choose Instrument window. Your instrument may not be plugged in to the computer. Check that either a USB or Ethernet cable is tightly connected to the instrument and to the computer. Your instrument may be on a different sub-net. Add the sub-net to the Choose Instrument window and then click Refresh. IntelliTune fails because of a sensor error Sensor voltage may be too high or too low, which triggers a bias current change. Choose a setpoint such that the sensor voltage will be between 0.25 V and 12.075 V. The sensor signal will be in range during all of the sweeps and not trigger a bias current change. Use the remote command TEC:BIAS to set a fixed sensor bias current. Review the TCS Series Thermistors Datasheet for temperature-resistance- voltage relationships. IntelliTune stopped without an error message or updating the PID coefficients. If a new sensor was chosen, it is possible that the Resistive Hi and Lo limits no longer apply. Go to the Settings screen and change to Resistance Mode. On the Limit screen, update the RHI and RLO numbers to bracket the setpoint. Change back to Temperature Mode and retry IntelliTune scan.
PROBLEM POTENTIAL CAUSES SOLUTIONS IntelliTune fails because of a “load short” error VLIM may be too high. Reduce the current limit and rerun IntelliTune to automatically reduce VLIM. Then reset the current limit and rerun the scan. Use remote command TEC:VLIM 9 to set the VLIM to 9 V and then rerun IntelliTune. Put a resistor in series with the thermoelectric to increase the load compliance voltage. Load Fault Error is triggered A Load Fault Error may be falsely triggered when operating near maximum current and near maximum voltage. Use remote command TEC:VLIM 27 to limit the internal voltage supply to 27 V instead of the 28 V maximum.

LIFE SUPPORT POLICY This important safety information applies to all Wavelength electrical and electronic products and accessories: As a general policy, Wavelength Electronics, Inc. does not recommend the use of any of its products in life support applications where the failure or malfunction of the Wavelength product can be reasonably expected to cause failure of the life support device or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness. Wavelength will not knowingly sell its products for use in such applications unless it receives written assurances satisfactory to Wavelength that the risks of injury or damage have been minimized, the customer assumes all such risks, and there is no product liability for Wavelength. Examples of devices considered to be life support devices are: neonatal oxygen analyzers, nerve stimulators (for any use), auto-transfusion devices, blood pumps, defibrillators, arrhythmia detectors and alarms, pacemakers, hemodialysis systems, peritoneal dialysis systems, ventilators of all types, and infusion pumps as well as other devices designated as “critical” by the FDA. The above are representative examples only and are not intended to be conclusive or exclusive of any other life support device. CALIBRATION INTERVAL The customer is responsible for determining calibration intervals; however, Wavelength Electronics recommends a calibration interval of two (2) years, beginning from the original date of manufacture. The instrument’s calibration can be influenced by temperature, humidity, vibration and shock, as well as general wear over time. Extending the calibration interval can lead to operation outside of specifications and is not recommended. TECHNICAL SUPPORT & CONTACT INFORMATION WAVELEnGTH ELECTRONICS
