OEM modules for current and temperature control
The OEM modules of the LaserPak, TECPak and ComboPak series by Arroyo Instruments – see tables blow – offer the same quality instrumentation and all essential features of the table-top units (see series 4000, 5000 and 6000) at reasonable prices in a smaller OEM solution. They provide USB and/ or RS232 ports for complete remote control and have an analog output for monitoring purposes.
Remote control software and LabVIEW drivers are available for free download.
Using the available rack mount trays three or five OEM modules can be easily assembled to a multi-channel test system in a 19” rack.
LaserPak Series 485 for current control
The OEM laser drivers of the LaserPak 485 series provide all necessary protective circuits for the laser diode, such as safety interlock, ESD protection and programmable hardware limits for current and voltage. You can drive the connected laser diode in constant current, constant voltage and constant power mode.
The 485 series laser drivers provide both a robust analog interface as well as computer control via USB or RS232 for precise remote operation. The analog interface provides on/off control, status, and analog monitoring of current and voltage, while the computer interfaces provide complete control over all operating parameters.
| Model | Current | Voltage | Accuracy | Noise | Modulation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 485-02-15 | 2 A | 15 V | 0.05% + 0.04 mA | < 60 uA | 65 kHz |
| 485-04-08 | 4 A | 8 V | 0.05% + 0.8 mA | < 100 uA | 50 kHz |
| 485-08-04 | 8 A | 4 V | 0.05% + 1.6 mA | < 200 uA | 45 kHz |
TECPak Series 585 and 586 for temperature control
The OEM temperature controllers of the TECPak series 585 and 586 offer high cooling performance with excellent temperature stability in compact housing at favourable prices. They feature a fully adjustable PID control with AutoTune function for automatic PID calculation. Please ask for customized versions if required.
| Model | Cooling capacity | Current | Voltage | Stability | Sensors |

| 585-04-08 | 32 W | 4 A | 8 V | ±0.004°C | Thermistor, RTD |
| 585-05-12 | 55 W | 5 A | 12 V | ±0.004°C | Thermistor, RTD |
| 586-04-56 | 224 W | 4 A | 56 V | ±0.004°C | Thermistor, LM335, RTD |
| 586-08-26 | 190 W | 8 A | 26 V | ±0.004°C | Thermistor, LM335, RTD |
| 586-08-54 | 392 W | 8 A | 54 V | ±0.004°C | Thermistor, LM335, RTD |
| 586-15-28 | 345 W | 15 A | 28 V | ±0.004°C | Thermistor, LM335, RTD |
ComboPak Series 685 for current and temperature control
The OEM modules of the ComboPak 685 series offer precise current and temperature control for laser diodes in a compact housing at attractive prices. All modules have the necessary protective circuits for the laser diode, such as interlock, ESD protection and programmable hardware limits for current, voltage and temperature. The built-in 10.5 Watt temperature controller operates with thermistors.
The 685 series ComboPaks provide both a robust analog interface as well as USB computer control for precise remote operation (you can even use both interface simultaneously). The analog interface provides on/off control and status, while the computer interface provides complete control over all operating parameters.
| Model | Current | Voltage | Accuracy | Noise | Modulation | Cooling capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 685-0.1 | 100 mA | 10 V | 0.025% + 0.03 mA | < 5 uA | 150 kHz | 10.5 W |
| 685-0.5 | 500 mA | 10 V | 0.025% + 0.12 mA | < 5 uA | 100 kHz | 10.5 W |
| 685-01 | 1 A | 10 V | 0.025% + 0.3 mA | < 10 uA | 100 kHz | 10.5 W |
| 685-02 | 2 A | 3.5 V | 0.025% + 0.5 mA | < 40 uA | 100 kHz | 10.5 W |
