HP20 Thermoelectric Controller

High Power Thermoelectric Temperature Controller

 

The OptoTherm HP20 high power thermoelectric (TE) controller provides precise temperature control of thermoelectric modules and heating/cooling stages.  The HP20 operates in a bi-directional H-bridge configuration for smooth transitions between heating and cooling cycles for high reliability.  Bi-directional control reduces the likelihood of thermal fatigue and electrically induced failures caused by high current switching.


The HP20 features a user-friendly control panel design with pushbuttons for increasing and decreasing the temperature setpoint and for alternating display of the setpoint and actual temperature.  Proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) control provides rapid response to changes in operating conditions and tight control over a wide temperature range.  By following step-by-step instructions and using plotted temperature data, determining appropriate PID settings for fast response has never been easier.  Users also have the ability to make manual adjustment of PID parameters for fine tuning or for unique applications.
 

 

Configuration and Graphing Software

The HP20 PC software provides a user-friendly interface to configure and operate the controller via the controller's serial (RS-232) interface.  Once the controller is configured, the computer can be disconnected and operated manually using the controller's push-button interface.  When the controller is connected to the PC, setpoint and actual temperature can be plotted in real time, providing a temperature history that can be saved in ASCII text format and imported into data analysis programs, such as Microsoft Excel.
