When using a TEC module with the Thermostat, the Thermostat expects the thermal load (where the thermistor is located) to heat up with a positive software current set point, and cool down with a negative current set point. When using a TEC module with the Thermostat, the Thermostat expects the thermal load (where the thermistor is located) to cool down with a positive software current set point, and heat up with a negative current set point.
Testing heat flow direction with a low set current is recommended before installation of the TEC module. Testing heat flow direction with a low set current is recommended before installation of the TEC module.
