Appendix 1: ADJUSTING CONTROL PARAMETERS (PAK REACH 400 METER IN TCAT-2 CONTROLLERS) GENERAL SETUP PROCEDURE Turn the system power ON Do not connect the load at the controlled outuput at this time. At first, as the power turns ON, the meter will display in the top part “PV”....”in IE” and in the lower part “SV”....0.0.. This is an indication that the feedback thermocouple is not connected to the system.

3.0 SETTING UP THE TCAT-2DF CONTROLLER WITH A HEATING PAD LOW VOLTAGE HEATING PAD 3.1 Connect a suitable load to the LVDC output (12VDC 3A max) 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. 3.3 Connect the AC power cord to the AC input module and to any suitable AC outlet. 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.
