Temperzone Unit Controller 6 - Operation and installation Issue 1 1. Introduction The temperzone Unit Controller 6 (UC6) is the successor to the OUC4 controller. The UC6 provides increased capability and flexibility in indoor-, outdoor- and packaged units. The complete controller combines the µPC controller board from Carel plus an interface board to connect temperzone standard sensors and plugs.
Never run power cables and signal cables in the same conduits. Contact temperzone if the controller has malfunctioned. Do not attempt to repair the controller. Page 4 of 18...
Temperzone Unit Controller 6 - Operation and installation Issue 1 3.1. Power supply terminals The UC6 is powered by 24V ±10% AC. A class 2 safety transformer with a minimum rating of 24VA must be used in the installation. The power supply to the UC6 controller must not be used to power other electrical devices.

4.4.1. Temperzone TZT-100 thermostat connection The UC6 can connect directly to the temperzone TZT-100 thermostat using a shielded cable with two twisted pair wires suitable for RS85 serial communications. The drawing below shows connection details.
The UC6 can control a unit where one of the two compressors is a variable speed compressor or a digital scroll compressor. Temperzone pre-configures the unit to the correct compressor type; a UC6 service tool is required if the compressor type configuration must be changed.
DI1: Low o DI2: Medium o DI3: High If the system uses a temperzone TZT-100 thermostat then the indoor fan input signals are received from the TZT-100 through the RS485 communications cable. Two types of outputs are available for indoor fan speed control:...
The UC6 will not allow both systems to de-ice at the same time. Exceptions to this rule exist, for example for units with a common outdoor fan chamber must de-ice the two outdoor coils at the same time. Temperzone configures each unit to the correct de-ice strategy.
Display indication when timer is active number 6.3. Minimum compressor cycle time A compressor is allowed a maximum of 10 starts per hour (one start per 6 minutes). This limits the amount of stress on the compressor motor. Display indication when timer is active number...
Temperzone Unit Controller 6 - Operation and installation Issue 1 6.4. Delay time between compressor 1 and compressor 2 start The UC6 does not allow both compressors in the unit to start at the same time even when the compressor run request is received at the same time; a brief time delay (normally 40 seconds) is inserted.
Temperzone Unit Controller 6 - Operation and installation Issue 1 6.7. Indoor coil frost protection (FROST) When the unit is cooling the evaporating temperature in the indoor coil must remain above -10°C (adjustable from -10°C to -2°C by using a UC6 service tool).
Temperzone Unit Controller 6 - Operation and installation Issue 1 6.10. Sensor alarm If the signal of a temperature sensor or pressure transducer is out of normal operating range the UC6 will generate an alarm. The sensor may be faulty, disconnected or short circuit.
