Overview

The 5C7-195 is a convenient way to control a Thermoelectric Module or resistive heater. The front panel provides a convenient way to select and adjust the Actual Temperature, Set Temperature, Alarm Temperature, and the DC Voltage output. This unit plugs into an AC outlet and has its own, internal switching power supply to provide selectable 3.5 to 20 vdc.

PC communications via a computer's  "RS232 communications interface" allows you to set additional configuration parameters. One RS232 COM port on your computer will configure and monitor one controller. The user friendly, configuration software requires no prior programming experience to establish operation. Once the desired set parameters are established, the PC may be disconnected and the controller becomes a unique, stand alone controller. All parameter settings are retained in non-volatile memory.

A controller command set is provided for qualified personnel to program a custom software interface or use as an embedded control. 

The back panel provides easy connection to power, sensors, and RS-232. Screw down connectors are used to provide power from an external power supply in place of the internal power supply.

A user supplied  external power supply can provide a wider range of voltages and a higher amperage.

The 5C7-195 can turn off the output power if there is a high temperature alarm or a low temperature alarm state. You can select for one of the following: No Alarm, High Alarm, or Low Alarm. However, the alarm sensor is a separate sensor from the control sensor. So if you want to use an alarm, for example, to prevent thermal runaway (High Alarm), you need two sensors - one for control and one for the alarm.

WORKS WITH PELTIER MODULES OR RESISTIVE HEATERS, FANS, ETC.!

These controllers provide bi-phase heating and cooling (automatically switching between heating and cooling as needed), or  single-phase heating or cooling (heats only, or cools only). Besides peltier modules, these controllers work with thin film resistive heaters and other DC voltage devices. 

Note: Prices shown are for the controllers only.  TE modules are available but not included in the controller pricing.

Telecom Note

FOR FIBER OPTIC COMPONENTS AND LASER DIODES... Note.

• Load Type
• Can be a peltier module (TE module, Thermoelectirc module), or you can power resistive heaters (such as a thin film resistive heater, kapton heater, nichrome wire, etc.) or fan, etc.
• Power
• Input for Controller
• 110/220 VAC, 50/60 Hz. (Actually, 85 VAC to 260 VAC)
• Output
• With your own External Power Supply: 1 to 28 vdc at up to 10 Amps using UNI-DIRECTIONAL (heat only, or cool only) output.
• With the Internal Power Supply: 3.5 to 20 vdc with 65 Watts max - see "Load Circuit Capability" diagram below

• Control
• Phase   (Heat/Cool)
• Bi-phase. The controllers automatically heat or cool as needed (using a thermoelectric module).
• Single-phase. The controllers can be set to heat only or cool only.
• Modes   (Algorithms)
• Proportional (P), Integral (I), and Derivative (D) control
• P, PI, PD, or PID
• Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) of Output is 2700 Hz
• Control stability depends on the temperature resolution of the controller. Resolution is 0.1 degrees C. It offers the possibility of stabilizing to between ±0.1°C and ±0.2°C with a good thermal system.
• Temperature
• Scale
• Centigrade (°C)
• Display & Settability
• From the PC: 000.0 °C
• From the Front Panel: 00.0 °C (below 100°C) or 000 °C (at 100°C+)
• Range  (Control Temperature)
• With a TS141 Thermistor: -40.0°C To 70.0°C (-40°F to 158°F)
• With a TS91 Thermistor: -25.0°C To 85.0°C (-13°F to 185°F)
• With a TS67 Thermistor: -20.0°C To 100.0°C (-4°F to 212°F)
• With a TS104 Thermistor: 0.0°C To 150.0°C (32°F to 302°F)
• Resolution   (Internal Resolution)
• 0.1°C

• 2 Sensors - Each controller supports 2 sensors of the same series.
• Thermistor Sensors
• TS141 Series, 5K@25°C: -40.0°C To 70.0°C (-40°F to 158°F)
• TS91 Series, 10K@25°C: -25.0°C To 85.0°C (-13°F to 185°F)
• TS67 Series, 15K@25°C: -20.0°C To 100.0°C (-4°F to 212°F)
• TS104 Series, 50K@25°C: 0.0°C To 150.0°C (32°F to 302°F)
• Open and short sensor protection disables the load circuit
• Set Point Adjustment
• Set fixed value from the PC or the front panel.
• Alarms
• Limits - PC configurable for either High or Low temperature alarm values. The controller uses a second sensor for the alarm sensing.
• Operation
• Stand-alone   (disconnected from PC)
• Non-volatile memory for operating parameters allows for stand-alone operation
• From Computer   (from PC)
• Software
• Included - No computer programming experience is required to use the standard, Windows based Setup Program (configuration program)
• Custom - Command set is provided so programmers may create their own software interface for embedded controller applications
