display indicates that averaging is on.
The Model805 can also be used with the
optional input conversion modules (-6) which
allow either input to be converted to handle
either the TG-120 series diodes
(or any
diode with a
0
to 6 volt output), or positive
temperature coefficient metallic resistors.,
i.e., platinum (-P2 or -P3) or rhodium-iron
(-R1)
resistors. The
DIN
curve isstandard
within the instrument and is called
up
automatically unless a precisionoption is
present for the platinum resistor. The
accuracy
of
the reading is dictated by the
sensor and its conformity
to the
DIN curve.
The tolerance on these devices is given on
the technical data sheet for the Lake Shore
PT-100 series sensors. Thecombined
accuracy of the instrument and a calibrated
resistor with a precision option is on the
order of 40mK over the useful range ofthe
sensor (above 40K for the platinum). Note
that a precision option is required for a
rhodium-iron or a TG-120 to readcorrectly
in
temperature.
These
input
conversionmodules are easily
instal led by the user; thus, units can be
modified to satisfy changing requirements.
The ample memory space provided
in
the805
allows several response curves to be stored
in
one instrument. Depending on the
complexity of the curves, up toten can be
programmed into the unit. The
SENSOR
ID
switches are used to select which particular
sensor response curve is to be used with
each
input.
Thus, the user is able to make
sensor changes at
will
even when different
response curves are required.
The data for calibrated sensors can be
stored within the instrument by means of
the8001 Precision Option. Each curve can
contain up to
99
sensor unit-temperature
data points. With the standard precision
option format, which consists of 31 data
points and a 20 character information line,
up toten curves can be stored
in
the
unit.
See Paragraphs 3-6 through 3-10 for more
description.
A1 though voltage (resistance)-temperature
data points arestored as a table, interpola-
tion within the instrument results
in
the
equivalent of a high order polynomial
calculation
in
the converting ofthe input
voltage (or resistance) to temperature.
This is done by means of a proprietary
algorithm developed at Lake Shore Cryotro-
nics, Inc.

selection
is made via thumbwheel switches on the
front panel ofthe instrument. The set-
point switches, which provide a continuous
indication of the set-point value, enable the
user to quickly and easily determine
whether his system is at control tempera-
ture. The set-point is in the same units as
is the Display sensor (kelvin, celsius,
fahrenheit, or volts [ohms]).
The control sectionof the805 provides
two- term temperature control. Proportional
(GAIN)
and integral
(RESET)
are individual-
ly tuned via front-panel potentiometers.
The gain mode is in a nominal log per cent
with the reset being linear.
Analog heater output of
the
805 Tempera-
ture Controller is a maximum of
25
watts
when a 25 ohmheater is used. A digital
meter on the front panel of the 805
continuously shows the heater power output
as a percentage of output range. Thus, the
user can conveniently monitor power applied
to his system. To accommodate systems
which require lower heater power, the
maximum heater output of the805 can be
attenuated in two steps
of
a decade each.
When greater power output is required,
an
optional 56 watt power output stage is
available (W60) which is designed
for
a 25
ohm load.
It
is rated at
a
nominal
1.5
amperes and 45 volts.
An optional IEEE-488 (Model
8054)
or
RS-
232C (Model 8053) interface is available for
the 805. Either interfacecan be used to
remotely control all front-panel functions.
