QUICK CONNECT GUIDE

CONNECT THE POWER

On the back panel, insert the female end of the IEC AC power

cable into the Power receptacle and then plug the male end

into the AC power source.

NOTE: Place the TC LAB instrument at least 6” away from any

wall to provide adequate ventilation and prevent overheating.

WIRE A TEST LOAD

We recommend using a test load and simulated thermistor

when configuring the TC LAB instrument. The thermistor test

load simulates a 10 kΩ thermistor operating at 25ºC.

Wire a test load to a 15 + 2 D-SUB plug and insert the plug

into the

TE Out and Sensor D-SUB port located on the back

panel.

LOAD Recommendation

0 to 10 A: 0.5 Ω, > 50 W

0 to 15 A: 0.1 Ω, > 50 W

Resistors may require

heatsinking.

Thermistor Test Load

Figure 1. Test Load Wiring Schematic

Setting up this test load allows current to be driven to either

the positive or negative limit. Choose units of resistance and

change the setpoint above or below the 10 kΩ value. This

confirms proper operation and direction of the current flow.

TURN ON POWER

1. Press the

Power switch on the back panel to the |

position. The front panel power button light slowly pulses.

2. Press the

Power button on the front panel, the button

illuminates, touchscreen is activated, and the Control

Screen is active.

NOTE: Turning off front

Power button powers down the

application electronics and puts the unit into Standby mode.

Turning off rear

Power switch powers down all electronics

and some settings return to factory default.

SET THE LIMITS

1. Press to access the Limit Screen.

2. On the Limit Screen, press the blue

Limit

Current values and rotate the adjustment knob

to change to the desired values. The instrument

will beep when set.

Temperature limits can be set on this screen. The setpoint is

restricted by these limits.

The positive and negative current settings indicate the

direction of flow during heating and cooling.

CHOOSE A CONTROL SENSOR

1. Press to access the Sensor Screen.

2. Press the

Sensor Type value and turn the

adjustment knob to cycle through the factory

defaults or any user-defined sensors.

Choose the sensor to match the test load or the appropriate

sensor for the test load. Additionally, thermistors require

choosing the correct bias current.

The test load suggested by Wavelength uses a 10 kΩ 100 µA

thermistor configuration.

ADJUST SETPOINT

1. Press to access the Control Screen.

2. Press the blue

Setpoint temperature value

and turn the adjustment knob to change it. The

instrument will beep when set.

NOTE: The Control Screen is on by default when the

instrument is turned on.

The Control Screen is also the location of the PID control

parameters, IntelliTune (intelligent autotune), and the

Temperature Scan function. To change any of the PID values,

press the number and turn the adjustment knob until the

desired value is displayed.
