How to Install the TEC48VCNTLRN Controller
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the TEC48VCNTLRN Thermoelectric Temperature Controller.
Estimated time: 45m
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Inline fuse
- Determine mounting location
Select a suitable location for the controller, either directly on the TEC or nearby, ensuring the thermistor sensing bead can be positioned at the inlet of the inside fan.
- Mount the controller
If mounting on the TEC, use the existing 0.136 in. diameter holes in the heat sink cover. If mounting elsewhere, use the bracket as a template to drill 0.136 in. diameter holes and secure the bracket with the supplied #8-18 Type AB tapping screws. Then, attach the controller to the bracket using the four supplied #4-40 screws.
- Connect wiring
Connect the controller to the TEC using the provided wiring diagrams. Ensure the higher potential input power conductor is connected to the (VIN+) terminal and the lower potential to the (VIN–) terminal. Use twisted pairs for TE module and fan wires, keeping them no longer than 3 feet.
- Install the inline fuse
Insert the supplied inline fuse into the fuseholder in the power harness to ensure proper operation.
- Configure setpoints
Adjust the 4-position dip switch (S1) on the printed circuit board to set the desired cooling and heating temperature setpoints according to the specifications provided in the manual.
- Verify installation
Power on the controller and observe the startup sequence. Ensure the blue and red LEDs blink the correct number of times, indicating the cooling and heating setpoints are set correctly.
