TAC 2112, Manual Installation Procedure for removing the backplate: Remove the metal brace by unscrewing the fastening device. Press in the two round “buttons” on the sides of the controller. Hold the “buttons” in while carefully pulling the electronic part out of the back.
Page 23
TAC 2112, Manual Installation Procedure for mounting controller in a panel: Make an opening in the panel as shown in the adjacent scale drawing. The max. panel thickness is 5 mm. +0,5 2. Remove the backplate from the electronic part (see above).
Page 24
TAC 2112, Manual Installation Procedure for mounting controller on a wall: Drill holes for the three screws as shown in the scale drawing below. Remove the backplate from the electronic part (see above). Mount the backplate and the metal brace.
Page 25
Mount the sensor to an exterior wall facing north or north-west. Place it approximately 3 m above ground with the cable entry facing down. If several TAC 2000 are to be used in the same building, it may be sufficient to mount only one outdoor temperature sensor. A controller which has no outdoor temperature sensor of its own can then receive outdoor sensor signals from the controller which has one.
TAC 2112, Manual Installation Connection All equipment which is connected to the controller must comply with the following standards: • EN 60 742 (or other applicable safety standard) for air handlers which provide ELV-type power supply (normally 24 V AC) to the controller and other connected equipment.
Page 27
Installation The outdoor temperature signal (Y2) is connected to the input of the outdoor temperature sensor (B2) in the controllers (TAC 2000) which have no outdoor sensor of their own. If the SPC signal is connected from equipment which has a different transformer, the G0s from each transformer must be connected to one another.
Page 28
The following applies when the 24 V transformer is placed by the TAC 2112: The cables to G, G0 and other terminal blocks on TAC 24 V actuators must not exceed 50 m in length, and shall have a minimum cross- sectional area of 0,8 mm .
Page 29
TAC 2112, Manual Installation 5.3 Starting up Before the power is switched on The following should be carried out before switching on the power: Check that sensors and actuators are connected correctly. Set the changeover switch to configuration. It is possible to gain access to the changeover switch by pulling out the quick reference and removing the plastic disk in front of it.

TAC 2112, Manual Functional Description 7.3.2 Damped outdoor temperature The object of controlling the supply temperature is to maintain the correct room temperature irrespective of the outdoor temperature. The heat storage capacity of the building shell means that a change in the outdoor temperature affects the room temperature only after a certain time.
TAC 2112, Manual Functional Description 7.3.3 Reset curve for outdoor compensation The correct amount of heating is supplied to the building throughout the year by allowing the supply temperature to be changed as a function of the damped outdoor temperature. This function is described by the reset curve.

The temperature at the reference sensor is used to continually carry out small corrections (±1 C) to the three points °...
TAC 2112, Manual Functional Description Criteria for automatic curve adjustment The following criteria must be met for the automatic curve adjustment to work: • A reference sensor is installed. • Automatic curve adjustment is on (P 27). • The controller is working under timed operation.

TAC 2112, Manual Functional Description 7.3.9 Pump control The pump control acts to utilise the heat accumulated in the building as efficiently as possible by allowing the circulation pump to operate only when there is a specific heating requirement. Pump stop The circulation pump is stopped and the setpoint for the supply temperature is set to Min.
TAC 2112, Manual Functional Description 7.3.10 Variable night setback To ensure that the heating installation is able to reset the room temperature after a night setback in the event of a low outdoor temperature, the controller uses what is known as variable night setback.

TAC 2112, Manual Functional Description 7.3.12 Reduced daytime operation (optimised stop) In systems with a reference sensor, the controller can determine whether a transition to night operation can take place earlier than the time set. The controller calculates a new transition time on the basis of the deviation in room temperature.
TAC 2112, Manual Functional Description 7.3.13 Extended daytime operation Daytime operation can be extended by means of an integral timer. This timer is started from outside, e.g. from an external pressure changeover switch which momentarily connects input X1 to M (measurement neutral).
TAC 2112, Manual Functional Description Clock The controller contains a calendar clock with automatic transition between daylight saving time and normal time and automatic compensation for leap years. The clock must be set manually after a power cut lasting more than 48 hours.
TAC 2112, Manual Functional Description Time schedules The TAC 2112 includes two weekly programs and a yearly program (holiday program). Weekly program 1 is used to reduce the room temperature during night operation. Weekly program 2 is used to control external units (via output K4).
