TLC Series Explanation of symbols used in the manual: This symbol denotes especially important guidelines concerning the installation and operation of the device. Not complying with the guidelines denoted by this symbol may cause an accident, damage or equipment destruction.
TLC Series 2. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS The TLC Series meter is equipped with one current input 0-20 / 4-20mA and one voltage input 0-5 / 1-5 / 0-10 / 2-10V. Current input has an overcurrent protection circuit, which protects standard resistor. The selection of active input is realized by software, and the selected input can be changed at any time.

TLC Series Outputs relay 0 or 2 NO, 1A/250V AC (cos = 1) or 4 NO not stabilized, not separated from measuring inputs, in 230VAC and 110VAC and 24VAC version: U = 24VDC ± 3V / max. 25 mA; Sensor power supply U in 24VDC version: U = Us / max.
TLC Series 4. DEVICE INSTALLATION The unit has been designed and manufactured in a way assuring a high level of user safety and resistance to interference occurring in a typical industrial environment. In order to take full advantage of these characteristics installation of the unit must be conducted correctly and according to the local regulations.
TLC Series 4.3. CONNECTION METHOD Due to possible significant interference in industrial installations appropriate measures assuring correct operation of the unit must be applied. To avoid the unit of improper indications keep recommendations listed below. Installation should be conducted by qualified personnel. During installation all available safety requirements should be considered.

TLC Series 6. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION After turning the power supply on, device ID and software version are shown on the display, next the controller will go into the measurement mode. 6.1. MEASUREMENT MODE In the measure mode, the measurement results, converted over selected characteristic, are displayed on the LED display.
6.2. DETECTION OF THE PEAK VALUES The TLC Series controller is equipped with a peak detection function. It can detect the peak of the input signal and display the values. Presets connected with this function are placed in a "HOLd" menu (see description of "HOLd"...

TLC Series 7. DEVICE PROGRAMMING The device menu allows user to set all the parameters connected to the operation of measurement input, control modes, critical situations behaviour, communication via RS-485 and access settings. The meaning of the particular parameters is described in paragraph MENU DESCRIPTION.

TLC Series 7.2. PARAMETERS EDITION To start edition of any parameter, user should select name of desired one using [^] [v] buttons and then press [ENTER]. 7.2.1. Numeric parameters (digit change mode) Numerical parameters are displayed as decimal numbers. The mode of the new value entered depends on chosen edit method ( see parameter "Edit”).
TLC Series If numerical parameter is being edited, a short quick pressing of [ENTER] button will change edited position. A long press of [ENTER] button (at lest 2 sec.) the display to request ”SEt?” con rm, which allow user to make sure the change of the parameter ENTER value is correct.

TLC Series "modb" The relay is controlled via RS-485 interface, independently on the input signal. • LEDs lights up when relays are closed, independently of relays' mode. • When the power supply fails, the unit does not store relays state selected by RS- 485 interface.

TLC Series Decimal point position. It can be set to one of: "Pnt" "0", " 0.0", " 0.00", "0.000" Decimal point position is changed by [^], [v] buttons. These parameters describe the values displayed for minimum and maximum input current. For example, if input type is set to 4-20 mA "Lo C" parameter de nes the value "Lo C"...

TLC Series For example if input is set to “4-20” mode, the lower border is calculated to expression: Imin = 4 mA - 4 mA × “Lo r” %. The “Lo r” value can be set from 0 to 99.9%. Parameter “Hi r” determines the upper border of the permissible range accordingly to the expression (for all modes).
