Product Overview
Thermoelectric Temperature Controller for Optical and Laser Systems - Seastar Optics TC-5100
Product Condition
Used. Good cosmetic condition with scuffs and scratches from normal use and storage. The unit powered on and displays were observed during inspection; one vertical bar on the right display was initially faint and not functioning, then became visible and operated normally during the remainder of inspection. No long-duration testing or calibration was performed. Includes the original key.
Carefully packed and shipped same business day from our Idaho warehouse. Online since 1999. Honest equipment and straightforward service.
Product Overview
Seastar Optics TC-5100 thermoelectric controller designed to regulate temperature for TEC-based optical and optoelectronic devices. This controller supports stable thermal management where temperature control directly affects performance and repeatability. Seastar Optics controllers are commonly used with laser diodes, detectors, and precision optical assemblies. This unit remains suitable for maintaining existing temperature-controlled setups built around the TC-5100 platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What testing has been performed?
The controller was powered on and displays were observed. No extended functional testing or calibration was performed.
What is the display issue noted?
One vertical bar on the right display was initially faint and not visible, then appeared to operate normally during inspection and did not recur.
Is a key included?
Yes. The unit includes the key.
Is this ready for immediate precision use?
Buyers should plan to verify operation and perform calibration as required for their application.
Built for systems where temperature stability underpins optical performance, this TC-5100 is positioned to continue supporting controlled environments that still rely on dedicated TEC hardware.
