INTRODUCTION First of all we wish to thank you for choosing to use a TECSYSTEM product and recommend you read this instruction manual carefully: You will understand the use of the equipment and therefore be able to take advantage of all its functions.
FUNCTION To control the transformer correctly from a temperature point of view, enabling the VOTING function is allowed where the load distributed between the phases of the transformer is adequately balanced. TECHNICAL INFORMATION Mail: ufficiotecnico@tecsystem.it — tel: 02/4581861 NT538...

POWER SUPPLY The NT538 control unit has UNIVERSAL power supply, i.e. it can be supplied by 24 to 240 Vac-Vdc, 50/60Hz irrespectively of polarity in Vdc (terminals 40-42). This is obtained thanks to the use of a tested power supply unit, newly designed and manufactured, that frees installers from worrying about the correct Vac and Vdc supply.

We recommend you check the unit's programming before starting the device. The default parameters set by TECSYSTEM might not match your requirements. Programming the device is the end user's responsibility, the settings of the alarm thresholds and the enabling of the functions described in this manual must be checked (by a specialized engineer) according to the application and features of the system the control unit is installed on.

CAL message display: it appears when damage is found in the measurement circuit. The temperature values displayed might be incorrect. Return the control unit to TECSYSTEM for repairs. VOTING FUNCTION The voting function is derived from the concept of redundancy which consists of the duplication of components of a system with the intention of increasing reliability.
(programmed parameter display) and modified in PRG (programming) mode. COOLING FAN CONTROL The unit NT538 has two contacts FAN (FAN1 and FAN2), if properly programmed, can control ON-OFF of fans for cooling system checked. The high flexibility of the NT538 allows you to select, for each channel, an operation mode for contact management of FAN1 and FAN2.
The NT538 AD control unit is in communication with the network only when it is in temperature reading mode, while it is inactive when in the following modes: display, programming and relay test.
If WRITE data must always respect the rule T_trip> T_alarm and FAN_ON> FAN_OFF. In case you try to set these thresholds incorrectly, the control unit NT538 will not proceed with the programming and storage of data, therefore in subsequent readings will read the data from the previous schedule.
Note. If the value of Voting is higher than the max value expected for the model in question, it will be set equal to "0", that is NO_VOTING. POLLING FREQUENCY We recommend polling frequencies equal to or greater than 1 second are adopted. More frequent polling can overload the system without any benefit whatsoever. NT538...
