FOREWORD
This manual is intended for studying the thermostat DX2100 (hereinafter the Thermostat) and contains the necessary amount of information and illustrations, sufficient for
its proper operation.
Only the personnel that is familiar with all the sections of this manual is allowed to
operate the Thermostat.
Thermostat is designed to create different temperature modes of studied objects,
which are placed in the Thermostat working chamber.
The operation of the Thermostat is based on thermoelectric modules. The heat is rejected from the modules by an air radiator or a coolant pumped through the liquid heat exchangers.
The Thermostat is to work in the laboratory conditions with the temperature 25±3 ºC
and humidity 80%.
The Thermostat provides two modes of operation:


maintaining a user-specified temperature (setpoint);
maintaining several temperatures, each of which is kept during a certain predetermined time. This mode is called work by program.
The thermostat may operate as a fully independent device, and either of the two
modes can be chosen.
To prepare programs and record them to the Thermostat the computer software
provided should be used.
By computer it is also possible to control the Thermostat with events logging, as well
as logging and visualization of temperature changes over time.
For the case when the object implies certain temperature limits - the Thermostat offers two levels of alarm temperature set by a user. When exceeding this range, the control
is stopped with an appropriate light and sound indication.
At the consumer request the Thermostat can have a cover to enable modules Zmetering at different temperatures using the block Z-Meter DX4190.
.
The block Z-Meter DX4190 provides the measurement of the following parameters
of thermoelectric (TE) modules - see table 1.

Its structure is presented in the table below.
Parameter
SetPoint

MODE
Version 1.00/2013
Description
Temperature to maintain after the program is
completed. (If MODE =1)
Cycles counter (if it equals zero, it is the competition sign).
Number of the line on which the completion
condition is verified (the "last" line).
The completion condition is the equality to
zero of the cycles counter Time. To arrange
an infinite cycle we should set NextLine > 9.
To execute the program once we should set
the "last" line and NextLine =0 or NextLine
=1.
Completion condition (if the regulation after
the program completion is over)
0- No regulation (sleep mode)
1- Mode of maintaining SetPoint is ON

Thermostat State Control
The Thermostat has the parameters control. If a parameter value is not valid, an error is generated. Error code should be regarded as a combination of bit fields. Each bit
corresponds to a specific error.
Error reason
Heat sink temperature exceeds its limits
Temperature exceeds its limits
Program error
Attempt to run at non-valid temperature
ADC error
Error of DC/DC converter

In case of one of the above errors - the error code in the form EXX appears at the
beginning of the bottom line of the display, where XX is a hexadecimal representation of
the byte errors. The error code is flashing in sync with the red LED. The sound beeps at
the same time.
For example:

The sound stops when you press any button on the remote control. Also, pressing a
button resets the errors ErrTempSet and ErrProg, which may occur during the program
execution.
The error DC/DC converter is not reset and requires switching off the device.
The remaining errors are reset after the disappearance of their reason, but the logging of events goes on when connected to the computer and running the program.
