5300 Series TECSource User’s Manual · Page 3
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the 5300 Series TECSource from Arroyo Instruments.
Your TECSource is a combination of leading edge technology combined with
years of experience in the field of temperature control.
With a crystal clear VFD display, high power outputs, multi-sensor support, both
RS232 and USB computer interfaces, and small footprint, the TECSource will fit
into almost any temperature control application.
Unlike other temperature controllers in its class which use inexpensive 7-
segment LED displays, the TECSource takes advantage of its large VFD display
to simultaneously display set point temperature, actual temperature, current, and
voltage.
The user interface of the TECSource is engineered to make using the
instrument straightforward. With its text-based menus, there is never any
confusion over which setting is being changed, and parameters are displayed in
clear English (no cryptic numbers or LEDs to decode).
The TECSource offers all the features you would expect from a modern
temperature controller, including:
AutoTune for automatic PID parameter calculation
0.004°C temperature stability
0.01°C resolution for both set point and actual temperatures
60W (5A/12V) and 120W (10A/12V) output power
What’s in the Box
Along with the TECSource itself, a CD with electronic copies of this manual, the
Computer Interfacing Manual, and USB drivers are included. For USA
customers, a power cord is included. For non-USA customers, an IEC-60320-
C13 rated AC power cord must be provided.
Accessories
Arroyo Instruments also sells several accessories designed to work with the
TECSource. These include:
TECSource Cable, 2m (p/n 1260B)
This cable has DB-15 male/female connectors for interfacing to the
LaserMount or other connectorized fixtures, includes wiring for the fan
interface, and supports up to 5A of TE current. A pigtailed version of
