SENSOR PROGRAMMING & CONFIGURATION
0 to 100K Thermistor
This procedure shows how to configure the Series 800/850 TEC Controllers for use
with a 0 to 100K Thermistor.
ç Before changing the jumper settings on the Series 800/850 TEC
Controllers , remove ALL connections (including the AC power)
from the rear of the instrument and remove the cover.
¾ Setup the hardware for Thermistor (0 to 100 Kohm) as follows:
NEG
POS
GND
Thermistor
Mating Connector
THERMISTOR-100K
PCB
Rear Panel ConnectionsJumper Settings
ç Replace the cover of the Series 800/850 TEC Controllers by
sliding it back over the top of the controller and replace the
screws that were removed. Reapply ALL connections.
Front Panel Programming
Pressing ¿¯ simultaneously for 6 seconds will get you to the [`set] Menu in the
bottom display. Cycle through using ¿ or ¯ until you reach [inp1] in the top
display, then press ‰. Cycle through using ‰ to select the parameters to change in
the bottom display. Change the parameters by using the ¿ or ¯ arrows.
1. [Sen1] = [Proc} Remember the parameter to change is in the
lower display.
2.
[In`1] = [0-10] The variable to change is in the upper display
3. [deC1] = [`)00] Change [deC1] first before [rL`1] &
[Rh`1] since changing the decimal point will
automatically load defaults into [rL`1] &
[Rh`1].
4. [rl`1] = [`)00] Range Low in Kohms.

5. [rh`1] = [9(99] Range High in Kohms. (See footnote)
6. [Ftr1] = [``!0] Filter, this is optional. See Chapter Five
under “Filter Time Constant” for more
information.
Using the ‰ button, cycle through until you reach
[inp1] in the top display, then
press the ¿ or ¯ arrows until you reach [Out1] in the top display, then press ‰.

Thermistors have a fixed output based on the current flowing through them (i.e. 100uA). Therefore, the only way to read out °C,
°F, or °K is to use the optional EIA/RS-232/485 interface in conjunction with either Alpha Omega’s own TECView software or a
3rd party MODBUS compatible program to convert the temperatures.
