The outputs are galvanically isolated against ground, that is, the TC02 does not interfere with the experimental setup. The TC02 is a general purpose temperature controller for use of almost any kind of heating element. The PI coefficients are preset in the channel configuration defaults for MCS products. -
Page 8: Setting Up And Connecting The Temperature Controller Tc02
Appendix. Use of OP Table: Connect the TC02 to the heating element of the heating plate. Use the cable that is delivered with the heating system or use a custom cable. The cable is plugged into the female D-Sub9 socket labeled with "Channel 1". Connect the TC02 to the rectal thermometer. -
Page 9: Operating The Tc02
Starting the TC02 All functions are set in the menu of the TC02, including switching the TC02 on and off. If the TC02 is switched off, it goes into standby mode. The instrument and display are only switched off completely when the TC02 is disconnected from the power supply. Most of the power consumption of 6 W in standby mode is used by the power supply unit. - Page 10 If you want to restore the factory default settings, select the configuration that you would like to reset, and then select "MCS Defaults". For safety reasons, the "Edit" menu is locked each time the TC02 is switched off. You need to unlock it first by selecting "Unlock Edit"...

Page 13: Controlling The Tc02 Via Tcx-Control Software
Controlling the TC02 via TCX-Control Software Instead of configuring your TC02 via the front panel controls, you can also connect it to a PC with standard USB 2.0 cable and use the software TCX-Control. With this software, you can control all functions of one or more TC02 and it is also possible to read out the actual temperature values on your computer and save the data as a ".txt"... - Page 14 Extended Information It is possible to display the extended information with all parameters from the TC02. Click "Show extended information" button in the main menu. These values can be saved to an ASCII file by pressing "Export diagnostics". The default settings for P and I coefficients and maximum power for the different devices can be modified under "Device"...
