4.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The Instruction Label from the top of the instrument is reprinted here in case it is ever defaced. FEEDBACK SENSOR CONTROLLED AC OUTPUT OFF/ON POWER SWITCH TCAT-2 CONTROLLER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The TCAT-2 Controller parameters are set at the factory for the specific load supplied with it. If the TCAT-2 has not been so supplied, see the Operating Manual for adjustment of the control parameters 1. 2. 3 4. 5.
3.0 SETTING UP THE TCAT-2AC CONTROLLER 3.1 Connect a suitable load (500 Watts maximum) to either of the auxiliary AC outlets on the rear panel of the TCAT-2AC using the auxiliary AC adaptor cable if necessary. 3.2 Insert a type T thermocouple feedback sensor into the blue socket. Ensure that the sensor tip is securely attached to the load at an appropriate location. Call our Engineering Applications Department (1-800-452-8510) for more information on sensor placement. 3.
TCAT-2 CONTROLLER 1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1.1 The TCAT-2 is a general purpose autotuning controller for a variety of laboratory applications. The TCAT-2AC provides two time-proportioning controlled AC outlets for the control of resistive loads such as heat lamps or warming blankets. It can also be adapted to many different types of load (maximum 500 Watts.) The TCAT-2LV provides a low voltage DC output for electrically sensitive applications where AC frequencies will interfere with monitoring devices.
