- Page 3 About the SB1000 Digital Seebeck Controller Specifications The SB1000 Seebeck Effect controller is built on and intended to replace the proven SB100 Seebeck Controller previously offered by MMR Technologies. See Page 9 for the Theory of Operation. This device provides accurate Thermo Electric voltage readings from an MMR Seebeck Stage and Refrigerator assembly. These devices are intended for use with MMR Refrigerators only. Voltage: 115VAC ‐ 220VAC 50/60Hz (Dual Voltage) ...

Do not connect both the RS232 Serial cable and USB cable simultaneously, these are provided as an option should you be short of spare PC ports. Once connected and with the PC Running, you may now power up the SB1000 device. Please first ensure the AC Power switch at the rear of the unit is 'ON' (see page 6 for further information). Press the front button labeled ...

- Page 7 Hardware Installation Getting Started Step 1 ‐ Device ports are easily verified through the welcome screen above. Select the port number the SB1000 Seebeck Controller is connected to (shown as present next to the SB1000) and press 'Poll'. If the SB1000 is connected to that port and powered on, it will respond with a Device name and Version number. If the port number is not visible try refreshing the port list by clicking the refresh icon above the "Poll'' buttons. If this does not resolve the issue try restarting the computer. For further assistance contact your system administrator and finally, the MMR Helpdesk (See contact information on Page 27). Step 2‐ Select 'Seebeck Experiment.' This will load the Seebeck experiment module. If there is no K2000 present, deselect "K2000' under hardware. This will disable temperature control for all Seebeck experiments. Errors will ...

Troubleshooting is the primary use for this window. However clicking "Send" is a short cut to the ‘Main Communications Console' outlined in the Software Installation Guide. P a g e | 8 ...
- Page 9 MMR Programmable Seebeck Controller SB1000. The Seebeck stage is attached to the cold stage of an MMR refrigerator, which provides a given stable temperature for the measurement. The MMR Cold stage is controlled by the MMR K20000 Digital Temperature Controller. The Seebeck Stage has two outputs: V 1 and V2, which are monitored by a computer through the SB1000. The principle of operation is the following: assume that all four thermocouples are at the same ...

The set temperature for the Seebeck stage provided by the MMR Cold Stage. Different measurement points are used in order to study the temperature dependence of the specific thermo‐voltage. 2. Experiment. The process that includes a sequence of measurement points; starting from the ...
