  • Page 4: Introduction

    1 Introduction The Schwank ThermoControl Plus 4 is suitable for single or two-stage gas-infrared heating systems. Dependant upon its operation the controller has one or two controller circuits. Please read this manual carefully before installing or using the control-unit. Failure to follow the notes and warnings will affect your guarantees.
  • Page 5: Safety

     Connect sensor to controller with minimum 18 AWG wire Install the IR temperature sensor The Schwank ThermoControl Plus 4 between the radiant area of two must be mounted where it is not heaters at a height of 6 ft (2 m) affected by vibration or shock.
  • Page 6: Display And Button Function

    3 Display and Button Function Front panel layout: Main switch on / off 1. I/O 2. LCD Display: All functional and operating information is shown in the base display mode (upper picture). If no button is pushed for more than one minute, the control unit switches back to the base display.
  • Page 7: Operation

    4 Operation 4.1 Basic operation When starting the ThermoControl wit h the I/O -button an automatic disp lay-test is activated. The controller starts with the factor y default program. The display then switches to the base-program, which shows all the important operation information. Indication of which relay output and which sensor inputs are used in the specific control circuit.
  • Page 8: Selection Of A Control Zone

    4.1.2 Selection of a control zone The controller display and its usage is based on the display of the control circuit. The control zone can be selected by pushing the ZONE button. All settings of the control zone can be managed. 4.1.3 Activation and deactivation of a control-zone To stop heating in a certain zone: select the zone, and push the button.
  • Page 9: Display And Change Of Occupied/Unoccupied Temperature

    4.2 Display and change of occupied/unoccupied temperature The desired temperature for each control circuit can be programmed separately The current occupied/unoccupied temperatures can be displayed by pushing button. The values can be modified by pushing All modifications are saved immediately. The temperatures can be changed within the range: +3…+35 °C / 37 ...95 ºF...
  • Page 10: Display And Modify Time And Date

    4.3. To display or modify the base time and date of the controller Cycle through the base time and date of the controller with the button. Modify any time or date using +/-. This function affects the base controller clock (all control circuits have a separate time program).
  • Page 11 Set the year After the time of day has been modified, set the correct year, month and day as well. Otherwise the automatic summer / winter time correction won’t work properly. To change the year press the SEL button. The last two figures will start to blink (06).
  • Page 12: Circuit/Zone Times

    4.4 Circuit/Zone Times Each control circuit has an independent time program, which can be set or modified. The time program is a series of different circui t times. The controller changes automatically from occupied (day) mode , to unoccupied (night) mode or freeze protection mode- A circuit/zone point of time to switch modes can be described as: - time of day (hour and minute)
  • Page 13: How To Clear A Switch Point

    4.4.2 How to clear a switch point To clear or erase a switch time point: select the point, push and hold the CLR button. The symbol CLR will blink in the display, warning that a switch time point is to be cleared. If the CLR button is released immediately, then the erasure procedure will be stopped.
  • Page 14: Program The Switch Points

    4.4.5 To program the switch points In this example we program the following criteria: The day temperature should start every morning at 7:35 from Monday through Friday. First search for a free switch point ( - -:- -) by using the PR button.
  • Page 15: Holiday Program

    4.5 Holiday program The controller provides the opport unity to program 8 holidays. Start and end of the holiday is displayed with exact data (year, month, day). The programs can be c hanged and also stopped at every point of time. During the holiday program the freeze protection temperature will be maintained.
  • Page 16: Manual Operation

    4.6 Manual operation Use the button to select different operating modes. To change the FIX mode push the button. Press DISP when the desired operation mode appears (for example: continuous FIX mode). The control-unit switches back to the main display and the selected mode is activated.
  • Page 17: Set Up The Operating Parameters

    5 Set up the operating parameters The “setup” switch as well as the jumper selection of the program P1 … P5 may only be changed after the main power to the controller has been switched off. Before you open the control unit read the important information in chapter 2! The set up of operation parameters can be modified from the front panel with the “setup”...
  • Page 18: Set Up System Operation Parameters

    5.2 Set up system operation parameters (suggested settings are circled) DISP To set up the parameters hold the button for approximately 3 seconds. The “PAr” symbol appears briefly. The operation parameters can be selected with the button. Proportional Gain: Two-stage mode only: 0.5...3.0 °C / 1.0...5.5 ºF Suggested Setting: 1.0°C / 1.8°F °F...
  • Page 19: Adaptive Heat Recovery Time

    Refer to sections 6.4 to 6.7 for Switch off exhaust fans: exhaust fan output use ’AUto’: exhaust fan in use = for two- stage luminous zones ONLY, ’OFF’’: exhaust fan output is switched off for all tube heater zones, and single stage luminous zones (the symbol disappears).
  • Page 20: Copy

    5.4 COPY The COPY button offers the opportunity to copy all parameters of a certain circuit or the complete time program and insert it into the program of one or many other control circuits. To copy parameters hold DISP (approx. 3 sec., chapter 5.2).
  • Page 21: Installation

    6 Installation & Configuration Bracket Lower part Door Upper part Screw Lock 6.1 Electrical Supply The controller must be electr ically grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code. ANSI / NFPA 70 or current Canadian Electrical code CSA C22.1. Appliance and control wiring must be in accordance with all applicable local codes.
  • Page 22: Sensor Connections

    6.2 Sensor connections The sensor is connected with two wires. The sensor does not require shielded cable, because the controller includes effective protection. The l ength of wire up to 650 ft (200 m) does not influence the accuracy of the temperature measurement. Do not run the s ensor lead next to high voltage wires.

    6.7 Exhaust fan output connection – For Two-stage Luminous Zone ONLY REFER TO ZONE AND EXHAUST FAN SCHEMES IN 6.6 AND LUMINOUS HEATER WIRING DIAGRAM. Exhaust fan output connections (10 to 17) are reserved for luminous two-stage zones ONLY! Use 24VAC Class 2 rated power relay (field supplied) to switch line voltage to an exhaust fan that serves both the proportion of heater in the low-stage zone, and the balance of the heaters in the high-stage zone.
