CAUTIONS
CAUTION
CAUTION: Observe the precautions given on the equipment and within this manual to
prevent damage to the equipment. Only use the equipment for the intended usages specified by
the manufacturer.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Use proper handling and packaging procedures for static-sensitive circuit boards.
Assume that all circuit boards are the static-sensitive type.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Upon initial installation of the equipment, verify that the voltage and frequency
on the serial tag at the Controller rear panel match the ratings of the power source to be used
for the TP03000A System.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Do not place anything on the ThermoChuck surface that cannot withstand the
upper temperature limit of +130 °C (or +200 °C when option).
CAUTION
CAUTION: A ThermoChuck surface is typically gold plated. Do not use any (harsh) abrasive
materials for cleaning.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Do not overfill with coolant – the coolant system must have room for expansion
of the coolant at high operating temperatures.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Make sure the Controller power cord is disconnected from its power source
before replacing the back-up batteries for RAM storage.

Unpacking Information
Introduction The TP03000 ThermoChuck System is shipped to you in one container. All purchased items
are included. When received, examine the container for any signs of mishandling or damage
during shipment.
NOTE: If you see any obvious signs of damage to the package, contact the carrier
immediately and do not proceed with the installation. Since the shipment is made FOB factory,
you should consult your administration concerning claims for shipping damage.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Packaging materials may be a source for ESD potential. Do not unpack in the
vicinity of ESD sensitive components.
When unpacking the system, save all packaging material in the event the system has to be
reshipped later. After the system has been unpacked, the following visual inspections should be
made:
1. Verify that all items purchased are received.
2. Verify that the indicators and switches are in place and intact.
3. Check that all cable connectors are tightly seated.
4. Verify that all chassis/cabinet mounting hardware is secure.
5. Check that the ThermoChuck Platform (individually packed) is not scratched or damaged.

Placement
The TP03000 System should be located near the test system and a grounded ac power outlet to
avoid stressing the electrical cables and coolant lines during operation.
• The Controller requires an 8-inch (203-mm) rear clearance for cables and air flow.
• The Cooler/Circulator requires 12-inch (305-mm) front and rear clearances for cables,
hoses, and air flow.
A grounded outlet from the ac power source must be located within 10 feet (2.5 m) of the
Controller rear panel for the system input.
If you mount the TP03000 System in a rack, make sure it can support the 160-pound (72.6-kg)
Cooler/ Circulator when pulled out on its slides (30-inch, 762-mm, travel) without causing any
equipment or personnel hazard.
Also, be sure the equipment slides for mounting the Controller and the Cooler/ Circulator are
attached to rear rails in the rack for adequate support. Temptronic provides threaded mounting
holes for mounting the TP03000 System components in the following rack slides:

If required and purchased, hardware and installation instructions are provided to interface the
ThermoChuck Platform to most standard probers. In some cases, the ThermoChuck Platform
(sometimes called chuck) is specially configured to be an integral part of the Z-stage in the
prober.

Interconnections
Perform the following before making the system interconnections:
1. Check that MAIN POWER circuit breaker on the Controller rear panel is in the ON posi-
tion.


2. Check that system power switch on Controller front panel is at the off (0) position.
3. Verify that cable is in place between COOLER connector on Controller rear panel and
CONTROL INPUT connector on Cooler/Circulator rear panel.


4. Verify that FILL and VENT ports are covered with caps at Cooler/Circulator rear panel.
These caps must be installed to prevent moisture from collecting inside the coolant system
and causing the system to malfunction. Remove these caps only during coolant filling or
draining.

2PREPARATION FOR USE
ThermoChuck Platform Interconnections
2-6 TP03000 Operator’s Guide
ThermoChuck Platform Interconnections
1. Mount the ThermoChuck Platform to your prober stage.
2. Connect the supplied coolant lines to the ThermoChuck Platform.
ATTENTION
NOTE: The coolant lines and fittings are Teflon; tighten the ferrule sleeve portion by hand
only 
do not over tighten. Carefully tighten the pipe thread portion with a wrench.
Refer to Chapter 5: Coolant Fitting Installation Recommendations as needed.
3. Use a CEE (Controlled Environmental Enclosure [dry box]) for continuous ThermoChuck
Platform operation below +40 °C.
NOTE: The TP03000 System pumps approximately -50 °C coolant through the ThermoChuck
heat sink to dissipate waste heat from the solid-state cooling devices to prevent an overheat
condition. USE OF A CEE PREVENTS CONDENSATION AND/OR FROST FROM
FORMING ON THE COOLANT LINES, since the fluid inside the coolant lines is below the
ambient temperature dew point.
When the system is not being used for temperature testing but left running with the
ThermoChuck exposed to ambient it is recommended to set the temperature control to +40°C
to turn the pump OFF stopping the coolant flow so frost and condensation will not form on the
ThermoChuck and coolant lines.
4. Plug the control cable from the ThermoChuck Platform into the THERMAL DEVICE
connector on the Controller rear panel.
5. Connect one coolant line from the ThermoChuck Platform into the SUPPLY port on the
Cooler/ Circulator rear panel.
6. Connect the other coolant line from the ThermoChuck Platform into the RETURN port on
the Cooler/Circulator rear panel.
ATTENTION
NOTE: The TP03000 is shipped dry without any coolant. The coolant is added as the System
is operated for the first time. After the System is placed in operation, inspect the coolant
fittings routinely for leaks. Extra fittings are supplied in the event of damage.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Do not operate the TP03000 System without any coolant.
7. Connect the vacuum line (supplied) from the ThermoChuck Platform's port to a vacuum
supply.

PREPARATION FOR USE
I/O Bus Interconnections
TP03000 Operator’s Guide 2-7
I/O Bus Interconnections
1. Use the cable connector supplied for the I/O connector (IEEE or RS232) on the Controller
rear panel to make interface connections to the remote computer bus.
2. Wire the pin connections for the type interface to be used. Chapter 4 provides greater
detail for Remote Interfaces includes pin identifications for the RS-232C and IEEE-488
interface.
ThermoJogger Interconnections
1. For the ThermoJogger option, make sure the ThermoJogger hand controller is the new
type (intended for a TP03000A-X300, TP03000A-0301, or TP03020B-2300 Systems).
2. Plug the cable supplied with the ThermoJogger hand control into the JOG connector on
the Controller rear panel.
Emergency Off Interconnections
1. For this feature, use the cable connector supplied for the EMO connector on the Controller
rear panel to make connections to the external switch in the test system.
2. Remove the wire jumper between pins 1 and 2 and connect the two cable leads from the
external switch (must be rated for 24 Vac at 1 A, minimum). (Switch contacts must be
closed for TP03000 operation; opened during emergency off.)
ATTENTION
NOTE: Either the wire jumper must be installed in the EMO cable connector or pins 1 and 2
must be a closed circuit through the external switch for operation of the TP03000 system.

2PREPARATION FOR USE
Interlock Interconnections
2-8 TP03000 Operator’s Guide
Interlock Interconnections
The system rear panel includes a nine-pin connector for the INTERLOCK connections. The
mating connector and pins (Interlock plug kit P/N SA73990) are supplied at the time of
shipment.
NOTE: The pin extractor tool is AMP Incorporated P/N 91067-2.
The interlock feature can be used to lock an access door/panel on an enclosure that houses the
ThermoChuck Platform when its surface temperature exceeds 70 °C. The interlock is a relay
closure that is controlled by the system microprocessor. The relay contacts toggle from
normally open to normally closed when the ThermoChuck surface temperature goes above 70
°C. The user must supply the interlock signal, which should not exceed 24 volts, 5 amperes.
