ECTION _________________________________________________ NTRODUCTION The TCS-110 provides a temperature controller platform for all ANSI SBS 2004-1 microwell plates. It features a built-in controller and DC power management to provide uniform surface temperature with high heat transfer rates to repeatably control the temperature of microwell plates from 0°C to 110°C. -

OUTER OR A ERVER 1. Plug the 24VDC power brick into your AC wall outlet or connect 24VDC to the TCS-110 as per section 3.2. 2. Connect a standard CAT-5 Ethernet cable from the computer to the router, and another standard CAT-5 Ethernet cable from the router to the TCS-110 RJ-45 Ethernet jack. - Page 11 “192.168.1.88” in the TCP Client Address box. If you are connected to the unit through a router or server, enter the IP address of the TCS-110 which is specified in the final test sheet that was shipped along with the unit.

Each parameter is listed within the GUI component it is found in. Section 4.4.1 can be used to locate each component.
- Page 17 4.5.1 Unable to Connect to TCS-110 Via Router This section is intended for those who are connected to the TCS-110 with a router and are unable to use the graphical user interface to establish a connection. When using a router to connect your computer to the TCS-110, it is possible for the computer to assign the TCS-110 unit a different Ethernet address than the one assigned during production by Solid State Cooling.
- Page 18 Close out the GUI and reopen it following the steps outlined in Section 4.3. If this does not work, perform a power cycle on the TCS-110 and then try to connect with the GUI using Section 4.3. If this does not work and you are using a router to communicate, perform a power cycle on the router.

STAT1A?: Get TCS-110 operational status (see figure 6) FLTS1A?: Check TCS-110 for warnings or faults (see figure 7) RUN: Command the TCS-110 to begin controlling at set point. The TCS-110 will not run until it receives this command. STOP: Command the TCS-110 to stop controlling and go into standby. - Page 20 TCS-110 T 52-13129-1 EMPERATURE ONTROL TAGE RODUCT ANUAL TCS-110,10-14596-1,60-12945-1RevM1,9800001<etx> Where <etx> is “end of text” or 0x03 Figure 6 STAT1A?<Cr> Response One to three bytes returned – ASCII representation of number between 0 and 65535.

Temperature Low or High Warning: The TCS-110 temperature is outside of the user set temperature warning range, < SETTEMP- WIDTH or >SETTEMP + WIDTH. This normally occurs after a set point change until the TCS-110 reaches set point. If persistent, CAUTION contact SSCS for technical support. -
Page 22: Warranty Policy
ARRANTY OLICY This TCS-110 is covered under a two-year parts and labor warranty. The length of a warranty is product- specific, depending on the type and planned usage of the product, but will be specified in the quotation upon which a purchase order is made. Prototypes are not covered under warrantee, but will be repaired/adjusted after original shipment until they meet the agreed-upon specifications.
