Temperature sensors: Use Vector Controls NTC or PT1000/NI1000 sensors to achieve maximum accuracy: SDB-Tn10-
20 (duct), SRA-Tn10 (room), SDB-Tn10-20 + AMI-S10 as immersion sensor for NTC (used with TCI-C11, TCI-C13 and
TCI-C22). SDB-Tp2-20 (duct), SRA-Tp2 (room), SDB-Tp2-20+AMI-S10 (immersion), SOD-Tp2 (outdoor) for PT1000 used
with TCI-Cx4 and TCI-Cx5.
Actuators: Choose modulating actuators with an input signal type of 0-10 V DC or 4-20 mA (min. and max. signal
limitations may be set with parameters. 3-pointpoint actuators with constant running time are recommended.
Binary auxiliary devices (e.g. pumps, fans, on/off valves, humidifiers, etc.): Do not directly connect devices that
exceed specified limits in technical specifications – observe startup current on inductive loads.
