This part of the instruction manual contains specific information on how to operate
the temperature controller TED350. A general description is followed by explanations
of how to operate the unit manually. You will also find information about remote
control via the optional IEEE 488 computer interface.
Attention
This manual contains “WARNINGS” and “ATTENTION” label in this
form, to indicate dangers for persons or possible damage of equip-
ment.
Please read these advises carefully!
NOTE
This manual also contains “NOTES” and “HINTS” written in this form.

1.1 Packing List
1 TED350 (-IEEE)
1 power cord, connector according to ordering country
1 operation manual
1 CD-ROM with Drivers (TED350-IEEE only)
1 connection cable CAB420-15
1.2 Safety
Attention
All statements regarding safety of operation and technical data in
this instruction manual will only apply when the unit is operated
correctly.
Before applying power to your TED350 system make sure that the
protective conductor of the 3 conductor mains power cord is cor-
rectly connected to the protective earth contact of the socket outlet!
Improper grounding can cause electric shock with damages to your
health or even death!
Also make sure that your line voltage agrees with the voltage indi-
cated by the switch setting on the back of the unit and that the right
fuse has been inserted!
The unit must only be operated with duly shielded connection cables.
1.2 Safety
TED350 / page 2
Only with written consent from Thorlabs may changes to single
components be carried out or components not supplied by Thorlabs
be used.
This precision device is only dispatchable if duly packed into the
complete original packaging including the plastic form parts. If
necessary, ask for a replacement package.
Attention
Mobile telephones, cellular phones or other radio transmitters are
not to be used within the range of three meters of this unit since the
electromagnetic field intensity may then exceed the maximum
allowed disturbance values according to EN 50 082-1.
Attention
The temperature controller TED350 must not be operated in explo-
sion endangered environments!

1.3 General functions
1.3.1 Protections for the TEC element
To protect the connected TEC elements and the laser diodes the TED350 has the
following protective circuits:
•Limit of the TEC current in all operating modes
Protection against thermal destruction.
•Protection of the DUT by sensor failure
Protection against use of an incorrect temperature sensor / protection against
interruption of the temperature sensor connection.
•Contact protection of the TEC element (open circuit)
Protection against cable damage, bad contact or TEC element with too high
resistance.
•Separate over-temperature protection
Protection against thermal failure.
•Temperature-window protection of the laser diode
Operation in a specified temperature range. (Only in combination with a Thorlabs
LDC340)
•Mains filter
Protection against line transients or interference’s.
•Line failure protection
After turning on or in case of power failure or line damage the temperature control
must explicitly be switched on anew since it cannot be taken for granted that all
components of the measurement set-up are still working faultlessly.
•Key-operated power control switch
Protection against unauthorized or accidental use.

1.3.2 Description of operation
The TED350 has an input for IC temperature sensors of the AD590/592 or
LM35/135/335 series as well as an input for thermistors. When thermistors are used
you can choose between two resistance ranges (maximum resistance of the
thermistor 20kΩor 200kΩ).
The TEC 350 with Pt-100 option uses the Pt-100 element instead of the LM35.
A missing sensor or the selection of an incorrect type is detected.
All settings are done with the manual operating elements or by the IEEE488-interface
(option) and a PC. Only the TEC current limit value must be set manually. No manual
settings are required during automatic tests using a PC.
The set values for temperature, thermistor resistance and TEC current (const. current
mode) are set with the 10-turn main dial knob.
The limit values for the TEC current, the temperature and the temperature window
are set with screw-driver potentiometers.
The P-, I- and D-share of the analog control loop are set with „thumb-nail“-
potentiometers.
The TEC element is always operated relative to ground. This is of considerable
advantage regarding the safety for the TEC element and the stability of the TEC
current.
