errors. See Working with RTDs below for more information. Only Sensor 1 has 4-
wire remote sense capability.
Using Remote TEC Voltage Sense
The Remote TEC Voltage Sense pins (2 & 9) are used to remotely measure the
TEC voltage. See Using Remote TEC Voltage Sense below for more information.
Using the TEC On LED
Pins 1 & 8 on the Output connector can be used to drive an LED to indicate
when the TEC is on. The signal is driven from a +5V buffer with a 249Ω resistor
in series with the output, limiting the current to 20mA. This is suitable for the
direct connection of most green and red LEDs. Add additional series resistance
for lower current devices, such as blue LEDs.
