Product Overview

The LDT-5900 Series Temperature Controllers consists of two family members,
the LDT-5948 60W Precision Temperature Controller and the LDT-5980 120W
High Power Temperature Controller. These instruments are bi-directional current
sources with precision measurement circuits to monitor and control the
temperature of the device under test. They have the following operating
characteristics:
• PWM (pulse width modulated) output power of 60 W for the LDT-5948;(5A @ 12V DC) and
120 W for the LDT-5980 (10A @ 12V DC)
• 0.001
• 0.005
• Constant temperature, constant current, constant resistance and constant voltage control
modes
• Compatible with thermistors, IC and RTD temperature sensors
• Four-wire sensor measurements
• Four-wire TEC voltage measurement
• AC resistance measurement
• Heating and cooling temperature and current limits
• Software controlled PID feedback loop control
• PID Autotune mode
• IEEE GPIB and RS-232 remote interfaces
• Programmable triggers
• Closed case calibration
