Introducing the TVS The TVS automatically controls the temperature in a room by operating two variable speed fans and a single-speed fan or heater. To control the temperature, the TVS operates the connected ventilation and/or heating equipment according to programmed settings.
Business and light-industrial applications include machine shops, garages, and utility sheds where customers use the TVS to control fans and heaters. The TVS exhausts heat from the room made by equipment and/or regulates the temperature as service bays open and close.
If there is a dot in the top left corner of the display, you are in an editable menu. This means you can adjust the parameter. If you leave the TVS in a menu or display other than the main display, the control returns to the main display after five minutes without any key presses. The only exceptions are stage override mode and temperature override mode;...

TVS. Lightning does not have to strike a power line to transmit a surge. Surge suppression devices offer some protection from power surges. Because it is not possible to internally protect this product completely from the effects of power surges and other transients, .
7 FLA. Using power contactors to increase the capacity of relays Phason’s 240-volt power contactors are heavy-duty relays that allow you to increase the load handling capability of control relays. Power contactors are ideal for secondary ventilation fans and electric heaters.
Phason TVS layout Voltage selection switch: set this switch to the correct voltage before installing your TVS. Incoming power terminal: connect the incoming power (120/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz) to this terminal. Temperature probe terminal: connect the temperature probe to this terminal.
TVS user manual Connecting equipment to your TVS Mounting your TVS 1. Select a location for your TVS. Make sure you have enough cable and wire to reach all the equipment (fans, heaters, and so on) that you want to control.
Chapter 2: Installing your TVS Phason You can connect your TVS to 120 or 230 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz power. To connect the incoming power source 1. Set the voltage select switch to the correct voltage setting. 2. Connect the incoming power source as shown in the diagram.
For more information, read Using three-phase on page 18. power The ratings of the equipment must not exceed the ratings of your TVS's variable stages. : 5 FLA at 120/230 VAC, PSC motor Variable stage ratings 1/3 HP at 120 VAC, 1/2 HP at 230 VAC, PSC motor 7.5 A at 120/230 VAC, general-purpose (resistive)
Phason Using three-phase power If you are connecting your TVS to a three-phase system, connect the control power and the variable cooling equipment to the same phase. Your TVS must be powered from the same phases that supply the equipment. If your TVS power and the variable stages are wired to different phases, the equipment will operate erratically.
All other single-speed elements Connecting an alarm system You can connect an alarm system to your TVS's alarm terminal. An alarm system can be a siren, alarm panel, or auto-dialer. Read your system’s installation guide for installation instructions and information about the type of system: normally open or normally closed. Below are the descriptions for the alarm terminal.
Join all the COM connections together and all the N/O connections together. Your TVS alarm relays must be in parallel with each other so any TVS can trigger the alarm system when an alarm condition occurs. If you are connecting the alarm system to a network of controls and your system uses a ...

TVS user manual Finishing the installation After you have finished connecting all equipment, wiring, and cables to your TVS, it is time to verify the wires are connected properly and the close the cover. 1. Make sure all the wires are properly connected to the correct terminals.
What you need to know before configuring your TVS Configuring your TVS means telling it what equipment it will be controlling and how it will be controlling that equipment. For example, your TVS has three relay stages. You need to tell the stages if they will be controlling heating or cooling elements.
Frequency Hysteresis Selecting the temperature units, parameter 13 Your TVS can display temperatures in either degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or degrees Celsius (°C), but not both at the same time. Default: Fahrenheit To select the temperature unit 1. Press...

Configuring the stages Configuring the stages Your TVS has two types of stages: two variable stages and one relay (ON/OFF) stage. Configuring variable stages, parameters 15 and 16 Variable stages 1 and 2 control elements that operate with gradually changing voltage, such as variable speed fans.
As you operate each piece of equipment, visually check to see if that equipment is doing what you tell it. For example, when you switch on stage 3 at the TVS, does the equipment you think is connected to that relay switch on? For more information about stage override mode, read on page 37.
What you need to know before programming your TVS Programming the TVS basically means telling the control what you want it to do with the equipment and when you want it done. For example, for a single-speed fan set for cooling, you might say “Switch on when the temperature reaches 80°F.”...

Stage 3 set point is the temperature above which the stage 3 fan is on. High temperature alarm is the temperature equal to or above which the TVS signals a high temperature alarm. Low temperature alarm is the temperature equal to or below which the TVS signals a low temperature alarm.
To learn how all settings work together, read on page 27. Understanding how the TVS operates Use temperature override to test your high and low temperature alarms instead of adjusting the group set point. In temperature override mode, the alarm relay and status LEDs both operate as if they were in a real alarm situation.
Chapter 4: Programming the TVS Phason Programming variable stages, parameters 2 to 9 Stages 1 and 2 are variable stages. There are four settings to program for each variable stage. The following diagram explains how the settings work together. For a more-detailed description of how all settings work together, read on page 27.

Selecting the operating program, parameter 0 The TVS has seven configurable programs, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G if you are running a livestock or poultry operation, you might use different programs for different stages of development. Another option is to use different programs for different seasons.
Press Select If there is only one alarm message, the TVS clears the message and returns to the main display. If there are additional alarm messages, the TVS displays the next message. For a list of alarm messages, their descriptions, and possible resolutions, read on page 48.
Back Using temperature override mode, parameter 29 Temperature override mode is for testing the TVS configuration and settings. It allows you to test the settings by simulating the temperature. Instead of adjusting the output of a variable stage or state of a relay, you adjust the “test temperature”.
