3-2 Basic Operation Models 2510 and 2510-AT User’s Manual
Safety precautions
WARNING The device under test may be at temperature extremes. Improper use
of the temperature controller may cause personal injury. Allow suffi-
cient time for the device under test to return to a safe temperature after
testing before making personal contact. Use a heat sink or physical
barriers as necessary to avoid contact.
WARNING The maximum common-mode voltage is 30V DC. Exceeding this value
will result in a shock hazard because of the floating source.
CAUTION The maximum voltage between the INPUT/OUTPUT S (sense) termi-
nals is 1V. (Difference between force and sense lines for both INPUT
and OUTPUT terminals.) Exceeding this value may result in instru-
ment damage.
Operation overview
Control characteristics
The Model 2510 has the following basic control characteristics:
• Control capabilities — Control thermoelectric cooler (TEC) power to maintain
constant temperature, current, voltage, or thermistor resistance.
• Output range — ±10V DC at up to ±5A DC.
• Setpoint range — -50°C to 225°C.
• Setpoint resolution — ±0.001°C.
• Over temperature limit — 250°C maximum.
• Under temperature limit — -50°C minimum.
• Current limit — 1A to 5.25A.
Measurement characteristics
Basic Model 2510 measurement characteristics include:
• Measurement functions — (AC resistance available only via remote.) DC resis-
tance; operating voltage, current, and power; and AC resistance.
• Thermal feedback element types — PT385, PT3916, PT100, D10, F100 RTD
(100Ω or 1000Ω); 100Ω, 1kΩ, 10kΩ, and 100kΩ thermistor; AD590 (current) and
LM335 (voltage) solid-state temperature sensors.
