2-2 Connections Models 2510 and 2510-AT User’s Manual
Input/output connections
Input/output connector
The input/output connector is located on the rear panel (see Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2).
Terminals include:
• OUTPUT terminals: F+, F- (force), S+, and S- (sense) connections to thermoelec-
tric cooler.
• INPUT terminals: F+, F- (force), S+, and S- (Kelvin sense) connections to temper-
ature sensor.
Use the supplied mating connector for connections (Keithley part number CS-846).
NOTE The Model 2510 assumes that a positive output current is a heating current.
2-wire connections
Figure 2-1 shows basic 2-wire signal connections. Note that the OUTPUT F (force) termi-
nals are connected to the thermoelectric cooler (TEC), while the INPUT F terminals are
connected to the temperature sensor. 2-wire sensor connections are recommended for:
• Thermistor and RTD sensors with ≥1kΩ resistance.
• Both AD590 current and LM335 voltage type solid-state sensors.
