The controller can talk to PC through a dedicated USB cable or a RS232 communication daughter card (option on ATEC302) that Accuthermo provides. And it comes with very sophisticated PC software for FREE.
It took us more than a year to design and develop the software. More than 95% of the users find the software can satisfied their task without re-writing their own software. Accuthermo Technology Corp.
PWM Pulse Width Modulation Signal: LED signal lighted when PWM signal is send from controller to amplifier. During the low duty cycle, the LED might not be bright enough for visual. AL1 Alarm #1 indicator: LED on when Alarm #1 is triggered. AL2 Alarm #2 indicator: LED on when Alarm #2 is triggered. Accuthermo Technology Corp.
There are three types of sensors supported by the TE Panel controllers Thermocouple (TC): Thermocouple is a 2-wire temperature sensor and has polarity for each wire. Please follow the installation guild for proper connections. Accuracy: ±1°C TYPE Range -120.0°C ~ 200.0°C -120.0°C ~ 200.0°C -120.0°C ~ 200.0°C Accuthermo Technology Corp.
