Power Supply; Alarms And Ventilation; Fault And Reset Message Sequence - TECSYSTEM NT538 WS Instruction Manual

POWER SUPPLY

The NT538 WS control unit has UNIVERSAL power supply, i.e. it can be supplied by 85 to 260 Vac-Vdc, 50/60 Hz
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.
The earthing cable must always be connected to terminal 41.
When the control unit is powered directly by the secondary of the transformer to be protected, it can be burnt out by high
intensity overvoltages.
These problems occur if the main switch is closed and the transformer does not have the load (no load test).
The above is much more evident when the 220 Vac voltage is taken directly from the bars of the
secondary of the transformer and there is a fixed capacitor battery for power factor correction of the transformer itself.
To protect the control unit against line overvoltages, the PT-73-220 electronic arrester, designed by TECSYSTEM S.r.l. for
this specific purpose, is recommended. Alternatively, it is advisable to use 110 V AC supply voltages or, even better, 110
VDC.
If an existing control unit must be replaced with a new one, to guarantee its correct and safe operation, the
sensor/relay/supply connecting terminals must be replaced with the new terminals supplied.

ALARMS AND VENTILATION

Carry out the electrical connections on the removable terminal blocks only after disconnecting them from the unit.
When the unit is located in one of the methods described below does not monitor heat, also the relay will all be banned:
The fault contact switches and the fault LED flashes.

Vis. Programming display.

PRG programming.

Relay test.
The ALARM and TRIP relays only switch when the set temperature thresholds are exceeded.
The FAULT (fault) contact, programmed in active failsafe mode (default YES), opens (11-12) when the appliance is
powered, only if during the access phase the control unit does not detect anomalies, and keeps the switching until when
one of the following events occurs:

Data memory fault (Ech message).

Pt100 sensor fault (FCC short-circuited sensor, FOC interrupted sensor or Fcd quick temperature increase)

CAL damage to the measurement circuit.

Insufficient supply voltage.

During the power on reset after programming (PRG), displaying the data (VIS) and test relay.
The FAULT failsafe mode can be disabled FAULT failsafe "NO" see programming step 30-31 page 14.
NOTE: in order to avoid unwanted system outages, do not connect the FAULT relay to the transformer tripping circuit.
FAULT CONTACT (failsafe active)
FAULT 11-12 NC: ALARM FAULT OR POWER OFF
The FAN1 and FAN2 contacts can be used to control the cooling fans, or they can be inserted in the conditioning system of
the transformer room, see paragraph cooling fan control on page 17.
NOTE: always disconnect the unit before performing any electrical connections.
