Dear customer,

This manual contains all the necessary information to master the operational characteristics of the TC-9. Carefullyread this manual before you start working with the TC-9. It makes it a lot easier to familiarize oneself with thecontroller. Keep this manual at hand, so that you can use it as a reference book at all times.

As our products are subject to continuous development and updating, Abbi-sun is entitled to revise or modify its

products without prior notice.

IMPORTANT!

In case any inductive loads are connected to the TC-9, such as field break switches and the like, aproper anti-interference device (RC-network, 100 Ohms + 100nF) should be applied.

All weak current wiring should be shielded. Shield connected as shown in the wiring diagram.

It is really important to provide the installation of a reliable alarm mechanism. Abbi-sun advisesnext to the application of the computer alarm signaling, a minimum/maximum thermostat that isnot dependent on the computer.

Abbi-sun recommends checking its proper functioning regularly (at least 1x a day).

Features of the TC-9 ventilation controller

The TC-9 is specially developed for climate control in sectional production houses. The sections are temperature-controlled by means of flap, cooling and heating stages and a number of analog outputs (to control in- and outlets).

After a reset, all the functions are put on hold for 8 seconds. This gives the controller time to read all the temperaturesensors.

The controller has the following features:- Measurement of room temperature (by a maximum of 7 temperature sensors).- Measurement of outside temperature.- Timer function for cooling stage 1.- Up to 9 heating or cooling stages (each max. 5Amp. ON/ OFF).- Misting function on last cooling stage or analog output 4.- Heating to be set for cascade or zone (max. 2 stages) heating.- One flap controls (max. 4Amp.).

Control by means of: 1 feedback by means of a potentiometer between 500 ohm and 10Kohm or bypressure sensor (0-10V signal).

- Separate zone 1 regulation.

- Curve controls.- Fault output.- Minimum compensation at excessive humidity.- Reduction of controls at falling outside temperature.- Fault message in case of faulty sensors.- Fault message at relative minimum en maximum room temperature.- Fault message at relative minimum en maximum separate zone 1 temperature.- Fault message at absolute room and separate zone 1 temperature.- Display option Fahrenheit or Celsius.- Blocking of the user functions.

Note: The TC-9 can also be extended for communication. Ask your distributor for further information.

Operation of the controller

The front panel of the TC-9 ventilation controller is provided with 7 keys and LCD-display built up of 4 lines. The firstline indicates the menu you have accessed. The and keys can be used to go to a following menu. The otherthree lines display measurements and/ or settings. The cursor (the < sign at the end of the line indicates thepossibility of making a setting. Using the left and keys the cursor can be moved and used to point out aparticular function. Provided the function pointed out by the cursor is a setting, the and keys on the right can beused to adjust the value. After its entry the value can be stored into the computers memory by pressing the SET-key.Do not forget that last action! From then onwards the system will control on the newly entered values.

Indicators

The indicators represent the following symbols:Stage 1 relay active

According for stage 2 till 9, the number 1 is replaced by number 2 till 9.

Next is only for cooling stage 1, when timer function is activated.Out = Turned offBlinking = Timer off-timeContinue = Timer on-time

Zone 1 en 2 temperature

Zone 1 temperature reads standard the measured temperature of sensor 1. In case the additional sensor 3 isactivated, the zone 1 temperature reading is calculated from the average reading of sensor 1 and sensor 3.

Note: If sensor 1 and 3 are activated and one of them gets defective, zone 1 temperature takes over the overalltemperature reading from the remaining sensor.

As for the zone 2 temperature the same applies as for zone 1 temperature, but now for sensor 2 and the additionalsensor 4.

Separate zone 1 regulation

With the TC-9 it is possible to make a separate regulation with its own:- Temperature (Zone 1 temperature).- Set temperature.- Minimum and maximum relative fault temperature settings.- Absolute fault temperature setting.- Curve control.

Normally the room temperature is the average of all activated sensors without the outside temperature. With thesetting separate zone 1 it is possible to exclude the zone 1 temperature from the room temperature. Now you can

make a separate regulation.Note I: Analog outputs, when activated and controlled by the zone 1 temperature are automatic connected toseparate zone 1 regulation.

Note II: The separate zone 1 regulation and all connected regulations, make no use of humidity. Therefore theminimum compensation will not be used (see chapter humidity compensation).

Activating the separate zone 1 regulation

The function total heating has to be set to 1 or higher (Installer general menu 21, F2).The function natural ventilation has to be set to 0 (Installers general menu 21, F15).The function separate zone1 has to be set to 1 (Installers general menu 21, F13).The function heating has to be set to ZONED (Installers general menu 22, F1).

Blocking of user functions

The installer has the possibility to block all the user functions. The user can look at all the menus and functions, butcan not change them. The only functions that can be changed are: Set temperature, set temperature (separate zone1), current time and minimum/ maximum measured room temperature.

Activating the blocking function

- The function block has to be set to 1 (Installers general menu 20, F1).

Special texts

The installer has the opportunity to change several texts in the user menus and fault messages.The installer is able to change the next menu texts (13 characters):

- Flap 1 (These text shall also being used by fault messages).- Analog output 1 to 4.

The installer is able to change the next function texts (7 characters):- Flap 1.- Analog output 1to 4.- Zone 1 en 2 (Zone 1 text shall also be used in the menu text of curve separate zone 1).

Note: Ask your distributor for further information.

General

Menu GENERAL

This menu can be used to enter the set temperature, clock and to view a number of temperature readings. The menualso offers the possibility to read or restart the minimum and maximum measured temperature values.Note: A defective sensor will be displayed by '---.-'.
