The controller menu contains headwords for the measured values and settings, as well as help texts or clearly-structured graphics. The AIR TDC can be used as a temperature difference controller for the various sys- tem variants illustrated and explained under B.5.
Description of controller B.6. Hydraulic variants The following illustrations should be viewed only as schematic diagrams showing the respective hydraulic systems, and do not claim to be complete. The controller does not replace safety devices under any circumstances. Depending on the specifi c application, additional system components and Caution safety components may be mandatory, such as check valves, non-return valves, safety temperature limiters, scalding protectors, etc., and must...

Installation C.2. Electrical connection Before working on the unit, switch off the power supply and secure it against being switched on again! Check for the absence of power! Electrical connections may only be made by a specialist and in compli- Danger ance with the applicable regulations.
Installation 1.Select necessary program/hydraulics C.2.1 (Fig. B5) 2.Open controller as described under C.1. 3.Strip cables by 55 mm max., insert, fi t the strain relief devices, strip the last 8 - 9mm of the wires (Fig. C.2.1) 4.Open the terminals using a suitable screwdriver (Fig.
Operation E.1. Display and input The display (1), with its extensive text and graphics mode, is almost self-explanatory, allowing easy operation of the controller. The LED (2) lights up green when a relay is switched on. The LED (2) lights up red when operating mode “Off”...
Parametrisation E.2. Commissioning help The fi rst time the controller is turned on and after the language and time are set, a query appears as to whether you want to parametrise the controller using the commissioning help or not. The commis- sioning help can also be terminated or called up again at any time in the special functions menu.
Operation E.4. Menu sequence and menu structure The graphics or overview mode appears when no key has been press for 2 min- utes, or when the main menu is exited by pressing “esc“. Pressing a key in graphics or overview mode takes you directly to the main menu.
Measurement values 1. - Measurement values The menu “1. Measurement values” serves to display the currently measured temperatures. The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit measurement values”. Selecting “Info” leads to a brief help text explaining the measurement values. Selecting “Overview”...
Statistics 2. - Statistics The menu “2. Statistics” is used for func- tion control and long-term monitoring of the system. The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit statistics”. For analysis of the system data it is essential for the time to be set ac- curately on the controller.
Display mode 3. - Display mode Menu “3. Display mode” is used to define the controller’s display for normal opera- tion. This display appears whenever two min- utes go by without any key being pressed. The main menu appears again when a key is pressed.
Operating modes 4. - Operating modes In menu “4. Operating modes” the con- troller can either be placed in automatic mode, switched off, or placed in a manual operating mode. The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit operating modes”. 4.1.
Settings 5. - Settings The necessary basic settings required for the control function are made in menu “5. Settings”. This does not under any circumstances replace the safety facilities to be provided by the customer! Caution The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or select- ing “Exit settings”.
Settings 5.4. - Tset Room Switch-off temperature at sensor 2 If this value is exceeded at the room sensor S2, the controller switches the vebntialtior off. If the temperature falls below this value again and the other conditions are also met, then the controller switches the ventilator on again. Temperature values that are set too high can lead to scalding or damage to the system.
Protective functions 6. - Protective functions Menu “6. Protective functions” can be used to activate and set various protective functions. This does not under any circumstances replace the safety facilities to be provided by the customer! Caution The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or select- ing “Exit settings”.
Special functions 7. - Special functions Menu “7. Special functions” is used to set basic items and expanded functions. Other than the time all settings may only be made by a specialist. Caution The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or select- ing “Exit special functions”.
Special functions 7.2.1.1. - Speed when „On“ 7.3. - Speed control This menu determines the calculated and displayed speed of the pump. If e.g. 30% is set here and the signal set in „PWM on/0-10V on“ is put out, 30% speed is displayed. When the signal set in „PWM max/0-10V max“...
Special functions 7.3.4. - max. speed The maximum speed of the ventilator is specifi ed here. During the setting the ventilator runs at the specifi ed speed and the fl ow rate can be determined. The indicated percentages are guide values that may vary to a greater or lesser extent depending on the system, ventilator and ventilator stage.
Special functions 7.7. - Factory settings All of the settings that have been made can be reset, thus returning the controller to its delivery state. The entire parametrisation, analyses, etc. of the controller will be lost irrevocably. The controller must then be commissioned once again. Caution 7.8.
Menu lock 8. - Menu lock Menu “8. Menu lock” can be used to secure the controller against unintentional changing of the set values. The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or select- ing “Exit menu lock”. The menus listed below remain completely accessible despite the menu lock being activated, and can be used to make adjustments if necessary: Measurement values Analysis...

Malfunctions Z.1. Malfunctions with error messages If the controller detects a malfunction, the red light fl ashes and the warning symbol also appears in the display. If the error (LED fl ashes + is no longer present, the warning symbol warning symbol) changes to an info symbol and the red light no longer fl ashes.
Malfunctions Z.2. Replacing the fuse Repairs and maintenance may only be performed by a specialist. Before working on the unit, switch off the power supply and secure it against Danger being switched on again! Check for the absence of power! Only use the supplied spare fuse or a fuse of the same design with the following specifi cations: T2A / 250V Danger...

Tips & Tricks The service values (see 9.) include not only current measurement values and operating states, but also all of the settings for the controller. Write the service values down just once after commissioning has been successfully completed. In the event of uncertainty as to the control response or malfunctions the service values are a proven and successful method for remote diagnosis.
