The ITC4000 has an automatic overtemperature protection. If the allowed internal operating
temperature should be exceeded, the outputs will be switched off. After a temperature drop of
about 10 °C, the outputs of the ITC4000 can be switched on again.
Defined states after switch-on
When turning on the ITC4000 with the main switch, the laser and TEC outputs remain switched
off.
Line failure monitoring
In case of line failure / line interruption the ITC4000 will restart anew as if it has been turned on.
So the laser output remains switched off.
Mains filtering:
The installed power supply, with carefully dimensioned filters, provides low ripple and noise at
the laser and TEC outputs.
