Networking/communication The TE-3000 was designed for the future with built in capability for remote control and networking with a new family of instruments. With this remote interface capability, it is now possible to obtain quality assurance data via a computer network.
2 2 2 2 2 A. Lower Control Chassis The Control Chassis for the TE-3000 is the base unit of the instrument upon which the Upper Bath Vessel Housing sits. The Control Chassis contains all of the power conditioning and supplies, air pump, and electronics needed for the operation of the TE-3000.
C. Cables & hoses, etc. The TE-3000 system includes several cables, hoses, and accessories which are necessary for operation of the system. 1.) Two large diameter power cables (AC and DC) with circular connec-...
The bath requires adequate ventilation for the integral cooling fans so a space of at least eight inches should be provided between the rear and both sides of the TE-3000 and any wall or other obstruction. A clearance CANNON ®...
D. Liquid and pneumatic connections The pneumatic connections on the TE-3000 provide the bath agitation and subsequent stirring by recirculating the bath vapors. Two silicon tube assemblies are provided which have plastic quick-connect bayonet style connectors on their ends.

4 4 4 4 4 A. Filling the bath with liquid Prior to filling the TE-3000 with liquid, you should ensure that the bath overflow liquid reservoir, pump, and hoses are properly in place. For detailed installation procedure, please see the previous Chapter 3.D The TE-3000 should be filled through one of the top instrument holes with a clear, alcohol type, liquid.
B. Application of power Prior to the application of mains power to the TE-3000, ensure that all tubing and power connectors are properly installed between the upper Bath Vessel Housing and the lower Control Chassis. The bath liquid should be in place along with the overflow jar and tubing.

All tests PASSED Entering Normal Operation Following this “all tests passed” report, the TE-3000 will enter into the normal display condition (see the following Section D) provided that the RTD temperature sensor is in place. If the RTD sensor is unplugged at any time after the completion of the self-test routine, the following display will be shown.
D. Normal display and keypad indications Figure 7: TE-3000 Control Chassis front panel KEYPAD OPTIONS LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY The normal or “quiescent” LCD (liquid crystal display) for the TE-3000 bath is shown in the following example: TEMPERATURE Actual Target 12.340°C -20.000°C...

Calibration at a given target temperature The TE-3000 temperature control system permits the calibration of the bath temperature to agree with any user supplied temperature reference standard. The bath can be calibrated by the user whenever the bath temperature is stable for any given TARGET temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.

The TE-3000 is equipped with a full-duplex RS-232C point-to-point interface as well as a half-duplex RS-485 network interface. Commands and Queries may be sent to the TE-3000 via either interface and Re- sponses and Reports received by a master controlling computer. This interface is configured as 8 data bits with no parity and one stop bit.

Cleaning of painted surfaces and front panel The finish of the TE-3000 is a baked-on epoxy enamel in colors of almond and black. This paint is virtually immune to most solvents, however, if acetone is rubbed on the painted surfaces, the paint will be removed.
Cleaning the bath window The viewing window on the TE-3000 is constructed with four panes of low emissivity glass with all panes tempered for safety. The space between these panes are filled with a gas and sealed to provide a frost-free viewing win- dow.
Once it is apparent that most of the liquid has been removed from the overflow jar and hoses and transferred back into the bath, remove the power from the TE-3000 again and continue to siphon or vacuum the bath liquid.
