    The ThermoCube PAO chiller is a thermoelectric temperature control system with full PID control of both heating and cooling. The wetted surfaces of this version of the ThermoCube are made from stainless steel or aluminum with Viton o-rings, making it compatible with all hydrocarbons based or silicone based coolants such as PAO.

    ECTION ______________________________________________________________ PERATION The ThermoCube is operated via the control panel located on the front panel. The control panel has a 16-character LCD display and four input keys: UP, DOWN, ENTER, and START. These keys work as follows: Action Pressing the UP key raises the parameter value displayed.

  • Page 12: Simple Operation

    If temperature control at one temperature is desired, follow the steps below. 1) Turn on the ThermoCube and wait for display to read TEMP. 2) Press the UP or DOWN keys to change SETTEMP1 to the desired set point.

If set to zero, then the ThermoCube will continuously control at temperature 1. ALARMTEMP = Alarm temperature range +/- set-point. The unit will output an alarm dry contact or TTL signals, but not RS-232.

  • Page 18 (without –LT or –HT options). Turn off the ThermoCube and disconnect the AC power cord. Verify that no kinks or blockages exist in plumbing line, both outside and inside the ThermoCube. If no coolant flow blockages exist, contact SSCS for a replacement pump, or for a RMA number to return the unit for pump replacement.

    PTIONS AND UMBER The ThermoCube PAO is configured with many standard options, including: -CPM (metal CPC fittings), - ES (Enhanced RS232 communications), -EF (External Fluid Filter), -SS (all stainless steel plumbing and tank), -LT (Low Temperature operation), -HT (High Temperature operation) and -DC (Dry Contact alarms).

  • Page 20: Rs-232 Communications Option

    NHANCED OMMUNICATIONS TANDARD ThermoCube PAO comes with an Enhanced RS232 communication port. The chiller uses this port to communicate a comprehensive set of control parameters with a Host PC - these parameters are outlined below. This port is a 9-pin female d-sub connector and is found on the rear panel of the chiller (see Figure 3C and 3D).
  • Page 21 Parameters being communicated (see table 2) Data Bytes 1 or 2 bytes depending on parameter (see tables 3 and 4) Timing: ThermoCube PAO can accept a maximum of three commands per second Table 3: Control Parameter Bits 4 – 0...
  • Page 22 5 is Data direction (1 = host to controller, e.g. host sends set point to controller). 3) The ThermoCube PAO can store 8 bytes of transmission and can only handle up to 3 commands per second. 4) The ThermoCube does not echo back commands from the host.

    Pin 4 -EF: External Filter Option This option adds an external 5 micron filter to the ThermoCube coolant outlet for systems sensitive to particulate matter in the coolant. Note that this option also dampens coolant flow pulses, producing a smoother coolant flow.
