APPLICATIONS
The advanced and reliable circuitry of the TC LAB Series
instruments achieve better than 0.0009°C temperature
stability with thermistors.
The ultra-stable temperature controller instruments are
particularly reliable for diverse fields such as medical,
defense, communications and manufacturing. Applications
include particle and droplet measurement, communications,
manufacturing test, and medical systems. Additionally, our
products are designed for use with electro-optical systems,
airborne instrumentation, spectroscopic monitors, and
medical diagnostic equipment.
GENERAL
• Observe all Cautions and Warnings both in the User Guide and
on the instrument.
• This instrument is designed to be safe to at least the following
conditions: indoor use, 6500 ft (2000 m), 80% max. relative
humidity for temperatures up to 31ºC and decreasing linearly
to 50% relative humidity at 40ºC, transient overvoltages to
Overvoltage Category 2, and environmental conditions to
Pollution Degree 2.
• Use the TC LAB instrument as specified in this guide. If not, the
protection provided by this instrument may be impaired and the
warranty will be voided.
• The TC LAB instrument is intended to be used to control
thermoelectrics, resistive heaters, and other similar equipment.
Please contact Wavelength Electronics for other possible
applications.
• The TC LAB instrument must not be operated in explosion
endangered environments.
• Do not operate the TC LAB instrument where liquids are present
or used and do not spill liquid on the instrument.
• The safety of any system that incorporates the use of the TC
LAB series instrument is the sole responsibility of the system
assembler. This includes assembly, mounting, location, special
ambient or application conditions, and connections within the
system.
• Operating outside of the conditions specified in the User Guide
are not recommended for safety reasons.
• Proper setup in the end user’s environment includes:
» Adequately sized thermoelectric and heatsink to properly
manage the heat dissipated by the load.
» Securely mounted temperature sensor for accurate
temperature control.
» Correct connection of the thermoelectric.
» Use of the LD Shutdown connection to protect the load.
