T-2820 and T-2820SX Precision Temperature Forcing Systems
The T-2820 PTFS provides trouble-free testing of electronic components over a wide temperature range. Designed with economy and practicability as its primary design features, the system is affordable, easy to use and delivers fast and accurate test results. Typically used for hot and cold testing of semiconductors, hybrids and other small components, the unit is ideal for use in production environments. The T-2820 has a temperature range of -80C to +225C. The T-2820SX version extends the cold temperature to -90C. In addition to superior temperature performance, the units provide the following features:
- Quick temperature response time: -55C to +125C in 15 seconds.
- Easy to adjust support arm and thermal test head.
- Programmable temperature cycling.
- Sophisticated system self-diagnostics
Support Arm
Provides precise positioning and placement of the thermal test head over the device under test (DUT) and assures superior integration of the DUT with the air stream for effective temperature control.
The support arm, which represents a new design concept for Thermonics' PTFS product line, is counterbalanced for easy positioning of the test head. The arm provides a reach of up to 44 inches and 330 degrees of rotation about the main pivot point. Up/down and in/out adjustments are manual.

Operator Interface
The T-2820's user interface contains a four-line, 80-character display panel, a data entry keypad and three preset keys. The panel presents status information, error messages, configuration items, menus and operator prompts to provide easy operator control of the system.
Menu-driven control software provides flexibility in configuring the system for specific applications. Items that you may configure include temperature set-point, temperature control type (air or DUT), soak time, and temperature ramp rate. Additional menus provide guidance for service issues such as the calibration process.
Three programmable preset keys enable the user to store commonly used application parameters for easy recall and reuse. Set-up parameters are stored in non-volatile memory.

Remote Control
The T-2820 can be communicated with remotely via the RS-232C, IEEE-488 and Tester interfaces. This provides the ability to access, read and modify operating parameters such as temperature set-points, actual sensed temperature, soak times and temperature ramp rate from a remote computer, terminal or other device.
Temperature Cycling Capability
A temperature cycling feature enables the system to perform a sequence of tests in an automated fashion. Up to 99 separate test temperatures, with varying test criteria, may be programmed and stored into the system.
Rear Panel
The rear connector panel of the T-2820 contains the following connectors.
