Q Series, TC-18-QC-50 Temperature Controller Innovative Technology for a Connected World Q SERIES TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER The Q Series thermostatic controller is a microcontroller based device that can be incorporated into a thermoelectric assembly (TEA) to add integrated temperature control. This controller functions as a cooling control device and features an adjustable temperature set point range from 0°C to 10°C. The Q Series controller provides a single directional temperature control for standard or custom thermostatic control with several input and output options. Custom configurations are available, however MOQ applies. FEATURES • Operation in cooling mode. • Regulation mode is ON/OFF at the programmed set point and hysteresis. • Input power range can accommodate 11 to 58 VDC, nominally 12 to 48 VDC. • Outputs are available for fan, thermoelectric module, NTC thermistor, tachometer sensor, overheating thermostat switch, alarm, and LED. Some features sold on custom configurations only. BENEFITS • The controller’s temperature set point can be adjusted with an internal potentiometer in the interval range of 0°C to 10°C. • Tachometer sensor inputs provided to measure the speed of two fans. Sold on custom configurations only. • Overheating thermostat switch input available to sense an over temperature condition and will turn off power to TEA. A thermostat is required for operation. • Alarm and LED outputs available to indicate functional status of controller.
