Controller for Thermoelectric Thermal Management

INSTALLING THE CONTROLLER

The Ice Qube TMS controller is shipped complete with mounting hardware and electrical cables for easy installation. Cables

include a power cable for connecting to VDC power supply, VDC power and controller function cables for connecting the

controller to the thermoelectric thermal management system.

NOTE: Installation should be done by a qualified technician. All electrical connections should be made with

circuits de-energized. Check local codes or with authority having jurisdiction.

1. Determine a location for

the controller. See drawing for

mounting hole dimensions and

requirements. Check that cable

length is sufficient to interface

with power supply and

thermoelectric unit.

2. Route the DC power

cable and controller cable

exiting from the bottom of the

controller to the thermoelectric

unit. Insert the cable connectors

into the mating connector on the

thermoelectric unit. Check the

connectors are secure.

3. Insert the power cable

connector (shipped loose) into

the DC power interface on the

front of the controller. Route the

power cable to Class 2 DC

power supply. Check that the

power supply is properly

grounded and of sufficient

capacity to meet the power

requirements of the

thermoelectric unit. See model

specifications or label for

electrical power requirements.

Connect the wires labeled

positive, negative and ground

(PE) to the corresponding

terminals on the power supply.

Check that all connections are

proper and secure.

OPERATING THE CONTROLLER

1. When connected to power the temperature controller’s version number (1.20 or later) will be shown on the LCD display

for two seconds.

2. Next, the system will now test the temperature sensors. There are two temperature sensors in Ice Qube TMS: The

temperature sensor A is located in the internal return air section and measures the enclosure air temperature; and

temperature sensor B. Sensor B is not used for this application. If sensor A is abnormal, the controller will display

+ + +‘---’; if sensor B is abnormal, it shows + + +‘---’ and the audible alarm will also be activated.

3. If temperature sensors pass the test, fan testing will follow. The fans in the Ice Qube TMS are numbered as follows:

1: Internal Fan 1

3: External Fan 1

NOTE: Depending on the product model, the number of operating internal and external fans may vary. Detection

only works for the operating fans for each specific model.

If the fan speed is abnormal, the controller will display and and the audible alarm will be activated.

NOTE: If the fans do not pass the test, the detection will stop with an alarm. Press any button to exit self-detection.

The initial test procedure will take less than 60 seconds and varies based on the number of fans in the unit. After the initial

test procedure, the TMS will start its normal operation. The internal circulation fan(s) will start to operate. This fan will run

continuously so that the controller can monitor the enclosure’s internal temperature. The enclosure temperature will be

displayed on the face of the controller. When the temperature inside the enclosure is higher than the factory setting 80°F

(27°C), will be displayed. This signifies that the cooling system has begun operation to remove heat and from the

enclosure. The system may take 20 to 30 minutes before it reaches full capacity.

If the heat load within the enclosure is less than the cooling capacity of the cooling system, the temperature on the digital

display will begin to decrease. When the temperature inside the enclosure decreases 7 degrees Fahrenheit below the

“Cooling on” set point, the outside fan(s) will cycle off. The cool air fan(s) will continue to operate at low speed, circulating

air within the enclosure. The controller has a factory programmed 7 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius) cooling

differential. Example: “Cooling on” @ 80°F (27°C); “Cooling off” @ 73°F (23°C).

The cooling capacity of the Ice Qube TMS can be adjusted through the fan speed. The external fan speed is at its lowest

when the temperature inside the enclosure is equal to the Cool-on set point (80°F per factory settings) and reaches its

maximum when the temperature inside the enclosure reaches the factory setting of 98°F. The system reaches its largest

cooling capacity when fan(s) operate at their highest speed. Refer to "Programming the Controller". When the temperature

inside the enclosure is in the 80°F (27°C) to 98°F (37°C) range, the external fan speed will be in a linear relationship with

the enclosure temperature.

The internal circulating fan speed also changes with the enclosure temperature. The fan will be at its full speed when the

cooling starts or heating starts. When cooling or heating is not required, the internal fan will operate at low speed. The

controller monitors the fan speeds and if anything abnormal is observed regarding the fan speeds, two icons and

will appear on the controller display.

The Ice Qube TMS also offers a heating feature. If the enclosure temperature is below the factory heating set point of 50ºF

(10°C), the heat status icon will be shown on the controller display. This indicates the heat circuit has been energized

and is providing heat to the enclosure. When the temperature of the enclosure rises 7 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees

Celsius) above the set point, the controller will cycle the heater circuit off.

NOTE: Review the cooling and heating set points to assure both cooing and heating modes will not be

active simultaneously. A minimum of 8 deg. F is required between the cooling start temperature and the

heating start temperature.
