Temperature sensors: Use Vector Controls NTC sensors to achieve maximum accuracy: SDB-Tn10-20 (duct), SRA-Tn10
(room), SDB-Tn10-20 + AMI-S10 as immersion sensor.
Actuators: Choose modulating actuators with an input signal type of 0…10 V DC or 4…20 mA (min. and max. signal
limitations may be set with parameters. 3-point point actuators with constant running time are recommended).
Binary auxiliary devices (e.g. pumps, fans, on/off valves, humidifiers, etc.): Do not directly connect devices that
exceed specified limits in technical specifications – observe startup current on inductive loads.

Use copper, twisted pair, conductors only. The operating voltage must comply with the requirements for safety extra-low
voltage (SELV) as per EN 60730. Use safety insulating transformers class II with double insulation as per EN 60742; they
must be designed for 100% ON-time. When using several transformers in one system, the connection terminal 1 must be
galvanic connected. TCI is designed for operation of 24 VAC safety extra-low voltage and is short-circuit-proof. Supplying
voltages above 24 VAC to low voltage connections may damage the controller or other devices. Connection to voltages
exceeding 42 V endangers personnel safety.

Cumulative stage action (L16 = 0) is typically used in electric heat applications, and single stage action (L16 = 1) in
fan speed applications. Digital stage action (L16 = 2) is especially useful in electric heat applications to generate
three steps with just two outputs. For example: Step 1 = 100W, step 2 = 200W, step 3 = 300W.
Switching hysteresis (L21) is the difference between switching on and switching off. A small hysteresis will increase
the number of switching cycles and thus the wear on associated equipment.
With switching delay (L22) cumulative stages will not switch on simultaneously. With a sudden demand or initial
power stage 2 will not start earlier than 10 seconds (default value) after stage 1 has been initiated.

Set jumpers on the back of the controller: 0...10 VDC (default), or 0...20 mA. Further define analog outputs with A02.
Custom ranges can be created by setting minimum and maximum signal limits.
A control loop, special function, digital control or analog control sequence is not active until it is assigned an output.
Low and high limit alarms are defined with input parameters. With output parameters assign an Output priority
alarm to an output and select output state. The required output for each alarm can be 1. Alarm level low
individually selected. Multiple alarms can be signed to one output. If one alarm is selected to 2. Alarm level high
simultaneously activate and deactivate an output, the one to de-activate has precedence. 3. Operation mode OFF
4. Control function
With manual positioning (1A00 = 4) position the output by time schedule or directly in 0.5%
steps. Setting 1A01 to 0 will disable manual positioning. The output will then only be controlled by time schedule.
With dehumidifying (1A00 = 3) the maximum value is taken of cooling and dehumidifying. When the humidity is too
high, cooling will continue to operate, even without a demand for cooling, to dehumidify the air and heating will
activate to maintain comfort.
Input values of inputs and set points of control loops may be transmitted on the analog outputs.
For VAV function individual minimum and
maximum limits may be assigned for cooling Cooling
and heating. In VAV applications maximum
YC1,YD1
cooling output matches the maximum air Heating
volume the VAV box is set to deliver. As 100%
YH1,YR1 1A06
demand for airflow in cooling mode decreases,
airflow dwindles until it reaches minimum 50%
cooling output (1A05). This minimum will be 1A04
based on the airflow needed at design cooling 1A03 1A05
and is typically 10% to 15% of maximum 0% WH WC
cooling airflow. When this minimum is
reached the system is in dead-band – neither T (°C/F), U(V, mA)
heating nor cooling. Minimum airflow in XDZ
heating mode is set with 1A03. As the system
moves into heating mode, heating airflow
increases until it reaches the maximum
heating output (1A04), typically 30 to 50% of
maximum cooling airflow.
Low and high limit alarms are defined with input parameters. With output parameters assign Output priority
an alarm to an output and select output state. Each alarm’s required output can be 1. Alarm level low
individually selected. Multiple alarms can be signed to one output. Should one alarm be 2. Alarm level high
simultaneously selected to activate and deactivate the output, the one to de-activate has 3. Operation mode OFF
precedence. 4. Control function

Summer/winter compensation changes the set point due to a change in an input value, typically, but not limited to,
an outdoor temperature input. Winter compensation starts when outside temperature drops below the upper limit of
winter compensation (FU03). At maximum winter compensation the actual set point will be equal to the control loop’s
maximum heating set point (L02). Summer compensation starts when outside temperature exceeds the lower limit
for summer compensation (FU05). At maximum summer compensation the actual set point will be equal to the
control loop’s maximum cooling set point (L04). Activate summer/winter compensation with control loop configuration
parameter (L05).

Use comfort/economy mode changeover with key card switches, occupancy sensors, etc. Set input limit 1 and 2 with
possibilities below. Example: When Limit 2 is greater than Limit 1, switch comfort-to-economy at the lower value,
economy-to-comfort at the higher value. Activate comfort/economy changeover with loop configuration parameter
(L07).
Standby Standby
Enable or disable the controller based on desired input values, such as high or low temperature, occupancy sensor,
window contact, etc. Can be used as and function where several conditions must be met before disable or enable.
Time schedules do not override, but manual override is permitted. Delay times may be assigned for both enable and
disable (allows for the controller to start before validation of operation values takes place). Set input limit 1 and 2
with options below. Example: With FU16 = OFF, and Limit 2 > Limit 1, switch enable-to-disable at Limit 1, disable-to-
enable at Limit 2.

Switch heating/cooling state based on a universal input value. The input may be from a supply media (air or water)
or outdoor air temperature sensor. For supply media temperature we recommend switching to cooling at 16 °C/61 °F
and to heating at 28 °C/83 °F. For outdoor temperature we recommend switching to cooling at 28 °C/83 °F and to
heating at 16 °C/61 °F outdoor temperature. These recommendations are given as suggestions. The ideal settings
may be different on the actual project depending on climatic and system conditions.
The change between heating and cooling is delayed to avoid unnecessary switching (FU21). Heat/cool status of one
control loop may also be determined by the heat/cool state of the other loop (FU20= 5 or 6). The control loop used to
determine the heat /cool state must be set to demand-based heating and cooling with (L23). Set limit 1 and limit 2 to
switch between heating and cooling with options below. Example: When Limit 2 is greater than Limit 1, switch heat to
cool at Limit 1, cool to heat at Limit 2. For binary open/close contact, open is a high value (100%), closed is a low
value (0%).
