## Thermo-Electric Cooling (TEC)
- Connect Peltier device 0 to TEC0- and TEC0+.
- Connect Peliter device 1 to TEC1- and TEC1+.
- The GND pin is for shielding not for sinking Peltier currents.
- Connect TEC module device 0 to TEC0- and TEC0+.
- Connect TEC module device 1 to TEC1- and TEC1+.
- The GND pin is for shielding not for sinking TEC module currents.
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.
Testing heat flow direction with a low set current is recommended before installation of the TEC module.
