1.1 RBC-AMT31 Standard Remote Controller

Description
The standard remote controller gives access to all of the functions for the indoor
unit. It also gives access to the configurable engineers menu and data retrieval
features of the system, such as fault code and sensor information. The device is
compatible with DI/ SDI/SMMS and SHRM indoor units.

Application
The standard remote controller can be used to control individual units or groups of
units up to a maximum of eight. Two remote controllers may be connected on any
group or single application, with one remote being designated as a master.
The device is fitted with an internal room temperature sensor, which may be
configured manually through the engineers menu. Once configured the indoor unit
will sense the room temperature from the remote rather than the indoor unit return
air sensor

Diagram

Connections
The remote controller connects to the indoor unit via a 0.75mm2 two-core cable.

Limitations
The remote controller can control an individual or a group of eight indoor units.
This is reduced to a maximum of seven indoor units where a second remote
controller is to be used.

1.2 RBC- AS21E Simplified Remote

Description
The simplified remote controller is a reduced function remote controller. It allows
the setting of all of the functions for the indoor unit, however the remote does not
allow access to the engineers menu or data retrieval functions. Fault code
information is displayed on the device, using format as the standard remote
controller. Compatibility is with DI/SDI/SMMS and SHRM systems.

Application
The simplified remote is used to control an individual indoor unit or a group of up to
eight units. Two devices may be used to control individual or grouped units, where
one device is configured to be a master. The devices are also equipped with
internal room temperature sensors, which may be configured to take priority over
the indoor unit return air sensor. This controller would commonly be used where
simplified operation is beneficial, such as hotel room applications.

Connections
The device is connected to the indoor unit via the CN06 socket on the indoor PCB
and the indoor units supply terminals as illustrated.

Limitations
It is important to note that when an RBC-IT3-PE interface is used the standard
24hour timer functions within the Toshiba remote must not be selected to avoid
conflict in switching commands.
The remote controller on/off button will be overridden whenever an interface is
connected to socket CN06, regardless of whether the RBC-IT3PE is in use or not.
All other functions of the remote controller remain unaffected.
It is recommended that the power supply (230v.a.c.) be taken from the respective
indoor unit, as indicated on the wiring diagram.
The field sourced time-switch may be located in any area. The a/c system will start
when terminal 1 of the interface is energised and will override the remote controller
on/off functions.
Due to the logic used, it is recommended that a minimum switching interval of 30
seconds be adopted. When first energised, it may be noticed that the indoor unit
starts briefly and then stops, this is normal and does not indicate a fault with the
system.

5.2 RBC-CC163TLE2 ON/OFF Controller

Description
The on/off controller is a product that is capable of operating 16 indoor units from a single
location. The device consists of 16 individual on/off buttons, which allows any connected
units to be enabled or disabled via a single button operation. It is also possible to enable
or disable all of the connected units via single button operation.

Application
The device is ideally suited to locations where it may be necessary to remotely enable or
disable indoor units. An example of this would be a hotel reception desk, where the
receptionist may wish to enable a customers room air conditioning during the check-in
process or disable it on the departure of a customer. Each of the on/off buttons has a label
facility and again using the example of a hotel installation, the buttons could be labeled
with a room number. For larger installations up to 4 controllers could be installed on one
network, thus allowing 64 master indoor units to be controlled from one location.
The device also has the facility for interfacing time clock control, remote switching, remote
run signal and remote fault indication from a set of auxiliary contacts.

Connections

The controller requires a 240 Volt single phase 3 Amp power supply, which connects
directly to the mains input terminals on the rear of the device.

5.3 TCB-PCNT20TLE X&Y Protocol Converter

Description
The device is intended for use on the DI/SDI/SMMS/SHRM ranges of equipment
and is designed to convert TCC Link to AI Network protocol. This enables earlier
types of control equipment to be interfaced with the current range.

Application
The device consists of a PCB and Transformer, which should be installed in or
adjacent to the indoor unit. Where indoor units are in Group Format it is only
necessary to install one device on the lead unit. Typically the protocol converter
would be used to integrate new equipment onto an existing AI control system. This
may be an RBC-CR1/64-PE Central Controller or a Building Management System
of some description.

Diagram

38

Connections
Power for the primary side of the Transformer is obtained from the CN309 socket
on the indoor PCB. A further connection is then made to the A & B terminals from
CN02.
Multiple devices would be connected together in a daisy chain fashion and each
device given a unique address via dipswitches SW01.

Limitations
It is recommended that 1.5mm2 2-core screened cable be used on all networks up
to a maximum of 500Mtrs.

5.4 TCB-PCNT30TLE TCC Link Network Adaptor

Description
The device is intended for use on all the DI/SDI units other than the KRT High
Wall, which is supplied with the adaptor built in. The device is designed to allow
Network devices such as Central Controllers and BMS systems to be interfaced.

Application
The device consists of a small PCB, which should be installed within the indoor
unit and would typically be used where the indoor unit/units will be interfaced with a
Central Controller or any other network device, such as a BMS system. One device
is required for each indoor unit or group of indoor units. Where indoor units are
grouped together they will be assigned with one address on the central device and
will consequently all receive the same operational instructions.

Diagram

40

Connections
The device connects to the indoor unit PCB via socket CN50 and will provide two
terminal network connection designated U3 & U4.
Where multiple devices are to be installed it is necessary to set one unit with a
100ohm termination resistance. This would normally be on the device connected to
the unit with the lowest network address. The resistance being set by SW01 bit
being set to ON.
When the device/devices have been installed and a termination resistance applied
it is then necessary to apply a unique network and refrigerant line address to each
unit.

Addressing Procedure
The address setting is carried from a standard RBC-AMT21/31E remote controller.
Where units do not have standard remote controllers installed, one should be
temporarily attached in order to carry out the configuration process.
Accessing the Engineers configuration menu
Press Set CL & Check Simultaneously for 4 seconds.
Navigate to menu item 12 (refrigerant line address) using the Temperature Set
Buttons.
Set a unique line address using the Timer Set Buttons and then press SET.
Navigate to menu item 03 (network address) using the Temperature Set Buttons.
Set a unique network address using the Temperature Set Buttons and then press
SET
Press the CHECK button to complete the setting process
Generally speaking the refrigerant line address would mirror the network address,
however this would not be the case with grouped units, which would have the
same network address but different line addresses.

Limitations
It is recommended that 1.5mm2 2-core screened cable be used on all networks up
to a maximum of 500Mtrs in length.
The KRT range of units do not require adaptors as they are supplied with U3 & U4
connections and also have a termination resistance facility on the indoor PCB. The
termination resistance being set by SW01 bit 1 being set to ON.

6.1 RBC-WP1-PE Windows Control Package

Description
The RBC-WP1-PE is a front-end software package that controls all aspects of the air
conditioning systems installed on a site. The software is installed on a PC, which then
connects to a TCB-IFLN640TLE2 LonWorks gateway for connection to the indoor units.
The software allows all of the units operating parameters to be adjusted from the one PC.
It allows faults to be reported and re-transmitted via email, fax or text message. The
software can be accessed remotely either by telephone or via the Internet. The software
can log data and provide graphical representation of data. It has a schedule built-in for
time control and it can also be used to reset set points or modes of operation.
When the software is installed, it will automatically install the gateways and power meters
and it will then generate basic graphics.

Application
The software is used when a computer solution is required in order to provide a flexible
solution to allow the air conditioning to be fully controlled from one central point. It offers
much functionality, which is suited to small and large systems.

Features of the Software

Customization
The software being very flexible, it allows for a fully adaptable graphical representation of
the building to be included.

Frost Protection
The software has the ability to sample the air temperature from an individual or a selection
of indoor units. Then, based on this data, operate the air conditioning to give frost and
fabric protection to the building

Energy monitoring
The energy monitoring software can be included to calculate the running costs of the
individual indoor units. This data can then be provided in structured bills for the building
tenants. This data is calculated from the demand given from the indoor units and the
power consumed by the system. The RBC-EM1-PE power meter is required for this
function. This option is covered in a separate data sheet.

42

Control of other devices

We have a simple digital Input / Output module that we use to control other plant systems.
For example, we could enable boilers or other air-handling units. The module can accept
inputs also; examples would be an input from a fire alarm where the air conditioners are
shutdown or an input to switch on the air conditioners from an external source. The RBCDI1 module is required for this function. This option is covered in a separate data sheet.

10.1 Trend Solution (LTX-21)

Description
The LTX-21 is a product that has been developed to enable Toshiba air
conditioners to directly connect to a Trend BMS system. The LTX-21 connects
directly to the Trend outstation supervisor port. The interface is capable of setting
all of the operating parameters for each indoor unit. It also provides error codes
and the return air temperatures.

Application
The LTX-21 solution is designed to allow connection to a Trend BMS system. It
allows a fully functional solution to be achieved. The LTX-21 and associated
Toshiba LonWorks gateway are usually mounted in the control panel with the
outstation. We have two possible variations, which are outlined below.
LTX-21 and RBC-LG1 Combination
This uses a LTX-21 and an RBC-LG1-PE, which connects to a maximum of
sixteen indoor units however; the TCB-PCNT20TLE network adapters are required
to convert back to the AI network. This option will be cost effective for single split
installations with less than 7 indoor units for all other situations use the solution
below.
LTX-21, LTX-VCI and TCB-IFLN640TLE Combination
This solution uses an LTX-VCI and TCB-IFLN640TLE for the control of a maximum of 64
indoor units. The solution uses an LTX-21 for every 16 indoor units as these connect to
the Trend outstations. For example, for a total of 64 indoor units you would use four LTX21s.
In each of the above cases, multiples of the above combinations can be used to
accommodate larger systems.

56

Connections
LTX-21 and RBC-LG1-PE Combination
The LTX-21 requires a 24V dc supply and the LonWorks gateway requires a 240v supply.
The devices are linked on a LonWorks network.
The XY network is connected via a screw terminal connector. The recommended cable is
2-Core Screened 1.5mm2.
A serial cable connects the LTX-21 to the outstation.

10.2 Modbus Solution (LTX-51)

Description
The LTX-51 interface is a product that has been developed to enable Toshiba air
conditioners to directly connect to a Modbus serial port on a BMS outstation. The
interface is capable of setting all of the operating parameters for each indoor unit. It
also provides error codes and the return air temperatures.

Application
The LTX-51 solution is designed to allow connection to a Trend BMS system. It
allows a fully functional solution to be achieved. The LTX-51 and associated
Toshiba LonWorks gateway are usually mounted in the control panel with the
outstation. We have two possible variations, which are outlined below.
LTX-51 and RBC-LG1 Combination
This uses a LTX-51 and an RBC-LG1-PE, which connects to a maximum of
sixteen indoor units; however, the TCB-PCNT20TLE network adapters are
required to convert back to the AI network. This option will be cost effective for
single split installations with less than 7 indoor units for all other situations use the
solution below.
LTX-51, LTX-VCI and TCB-IFLN640TLE Combination

This solution uses an LTX-VCI and TCB-IFLN640TLE for the control of a maximum
of 64 indoor units. The solution uses an LTX-51 for every 16 indoor units as these
connect to the Trend outstations. For example, for a total of 64 indoor units you
would use four LTX-51s.
In each of the above cases, multiples of the above combinations can be used to
accommodate larger systems.

60

Connections
LTX-51 and RBC-LG1-PE Combination
The LTX-51 requires a 24V dc supply and the LonWorks gateway requires a 240v supply.
The devices are linked on a LonWorks network.
The XY network is connected via a screw terminal connector. The recommended cable is
2-Core Screened 1.5mm2.
A serial cable connects the LTX-51 to the outstation.

11.1 VN Unit Controls

Description
This section is subdivided into four sections for diferent applications of the VN
units. The VN is supplied with a 240V control option as standard this is a starting
point but often requires development for specific applications.

Application
Option 1
The first option is the simplest form of control it does not allow control with the air
conditioner system. The mechanical switch is straightforward to install as it only
involves the switching of the relays. If required the fan speed or the damper can be
fixed in a particular mode
Option 2
The Second option allows the VN unit to be enabled from an indoor unit this
utilizes the RBC-SMFI Fan interface. This link means the unit needs to be operated
in conjunction with an associated indoor unit.
Option 3
Option 3 is a low voltage option, which gives a dedicated controller for the VN unit
this control option, will allow a Heater to be controlled to protect the fabric of the
unit. This option can also be integrated with the indoor units via the RBC-SMFI fan
interface.
Option 4
The final option indicates the procedure for connecting and control using
interactive intelligence. This allows full control from the PC of the VN unit the units
can independently time controlled to only provide ventilation when the building is
occupied.

64

Option 1: 3-Gang switch

The simplest form of ventilation heat exchanger unit (VN unit) control is with
electro-mechanical switches. These are not supplied by Toshiba but can be
obtained from the usual DIY stores. Three switches should be used with one VN
unit.

Controls:
ON/OFF (switch 1)
Fan Speed - High/Low (switch 2)
Mode - Bypass/Heat Exchange (Damper on/off) (switch 3)
For some of the smaller projects, this may be the most convenient and cost
effective solution.
Note that this option is only available if there are no Toshiba heaters provided with
the heat exchangers.

Option 2: External relay

RBC-SMFI
If the requirements are for the heat exchanger unit to be turned ON whenever a
certain fan coil unit is turned ON; then using a RBC-SMFI is the solution. Two
switches as introduced in option 1 above should be used for the fan speed and
damper operation and control.

Controls:
ON/OFF (via the indoor unit)

Fan Speed - High/Low (switch 1)

Mode - Bypass/Heat Exchange (Damper on/off) (switch 2)
The RBC-SMFI will connect to the PC board of one indoor unit as shown below.

More than one heat exchanger unit can be connected to the same indoor fan coil
unit. In order to do so, the heat exchanger units need to be wired in parallel.
However, the current may be too large and an additional higher amperage relay
(provided by others) may be required. The RBC-SMFI would then turn the relay
ON.
Note that this option is only available if there are no Toshiba heaters provided with
the heat exchangers.

66

Option 3: Hard Wired Wall Mounted Controller

RBC-VNC1 & RBC-VNP1
The Wall Mounted LCD Heat Exchanger Controller is the RBC-VNC1. The
controller MUST be used with the Heat Exchanger PCB (RBC-VNP1) (Incl PreHeat, or Re-Heat Control). The PCB is a direct replacement for the original
supplied PCB in the heat exchanger unit.
Controls:
ON/OFF
Fan Speed - High/Low
Mode - Bypass/Heat Exchange (Damper on/off)
Heater - Adjustable Pre-Heater or Re-Heater activation temperature (if
heaters are provided)
In addition to the RBC-VNC1 and RBC-VNP1, a RBC-SMFI can also be connect to
the PC board of one indoor unit for ON/OFF option via an indoor fan coil unit.
One RBC-VNC1 and one RBC-VNP1 are required for each heat exchanger unit
(even if a heater is not fitted).
Also note that there is a set of contacts on the PCB board (RBC-VNP1), which can
be connected back to a BMS system for ON/OFF option only.

Option 4: Interactive Intelligence

RBC-VNP1, RBC-DI1-E and RBC-VNT1
Heat Exchanger PCB (Incl Pre-Heat, or Re-Heat Control)
Control by Interactive Intelligence can be achieved with the use of DI Modules
(RBC-DI1-E). Each of the functions will require one of the eight outputs available
from a DI Module:
Output 1 - On/Off
Output 2 - High/Low Fan Speed
Output 3 - Bypass/Heat Exchange (Damper on/off)
Output 4 - Heater On/Off (if applicable)
The DI module will then be connected to the Windows Package via the AB
network.
One RBC-VNP1 will be required for every heat exchange ventilation unit (even if a
heater is not fitted).
An RBC-VNT1 will be required with every heater fitted on this option. This is
a manually adjustable thermostat to set the activation temperature
