OFF/ON
- Indicates the state of the TEC output. Pushing the adjacent soft key
toggles the state.
Setup
- Pushing the adjacent soft key activates the setup screen.
The bottom line on the display has 6 “LED” elements, each indicating a particular
state of the laser. They are defined as:
I
LIMIT
When illuminated, indicates the TEC module is in current
limit.
V
LIMIT
When illuminated, indicates the TEC module has reached it’s
voltage limit.
T
LIMIT
When illuminated, indicates the TEC module is outside the
temperature limits defined by T
HI
and T
LO
in the setup screen.
R

When illuminated, indicates the TEC module is outside the
reference limits defined by R
