3150 In Stock

The 3150 by Newport is an Advanced High-Power Temperature Controller that is designed to provide precise temperature control for thermoelectric (TE) coolers with a bipolar output of 350 W. By minimizing unnecessary power dissipation, this controller enhances the efficiency of the output DC power supply, resulting in heightened reliability and improved temperature stability. The 16-bit control capability of the TE module and temperature sensor can be fully harnessed through the utilization of RS-232 or IEEE-488 interfaces. Notably, these standard interfaces also offer compatibility with LabVIEW driver functionalities. The 3150 boasts features such as closed-case calibration, flexible setup facilitated by the Save/Recall front panel functions, and seamless compatibility with a range of RTD, IC, and thermistor sensors.

A key feature of the 3150 is its incorporation of a proportional-integral (P-I) control circuit, meticulously engineered to meet the stringent temperature stabilization requisites of laser diode applications. Furthermore, the controller offers the option to disable front panel controls, mitigating the potential for unintended output adjustments resulting from inadvertent control knob manipulation. The controller is equipped with a suite of protective measures including TE Open Detection, Sensor Open Detection, High and Low Temperature Limits, and ITE Limit. The implementation of shielded cables is also supported, effectively minimizing the risk of undesirable temperature oscillations stemming from output line or sensor input noise interference. The user-friendly four-line alphanumeric LCD display of the 3150 provides simultaneous presentation of critical TE cooler parameters such as VTE, ITE, and temperature sensor readings. Impressively, the controller exhibits exceptional long-term stability with a drift of less than 0.001°C. Its bipolar output, characterized by low noise levels of 15 A/23 V, further underscores its precision and reliability.
