  • Page 4: Features

    FEATURES The TC5-1N5FAB is an electronic device used for environmental control in livestock buildings. It allows the user to maintain a specified target tem- perature by controlling the operation of ventilation and heating equipment. One stage of variable speed fans, up to two stages of constant-speed fans, as well as curtains, foggers and heaters can be connected to the controller.
  • Page 5 CONTROL OF AIR INLET MOVEMENT If the TC5-1N5FAB is used in combination with a PF-5B controller, the move- ment of the air inlets can be coordinated with the operation of the fans using a potentiometer located on the panel drive.
