  • Page 4: Features

    FEATURES The TC5-1V6SA 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 can be connected to the controller, as well as four stages of constant-speed fans and two stages of either constant- speed fans or heating units.
  • Page 5 CONTROL OF AIR INLET MOVEMENT If the TC5-1V6SA 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.

  • Page 9: Motor Types

    TC5-1V6SA OTOR TYPES The relationship between the voltage supplied to a motor and its operating speed is described by a motor curve. This curve varies with the make and capacity of the motor. The various motors available in the industry have been divided into ten categories and the controller has been programmed with a different motor curve for each of these categories.

STAGE 1 (T ) Adjusting Temperature Set Point Set the selection knob to SET POINT / CURVE.The current set point flashes on the display.

  • Page 19: Temperature Curve

    TC5-1V6SA EMPERATURE CURVE The user can define a temperature curve to adjust the set point automatically over a given time period. Temperature Days A curve is defined using six points. Each point specifies a day number and a set point for that day. Once the points of the curve are defined, the curve must be activated.
  • Page 20 TC5-1V6SA Specifying the Curve Set the selection knob to SET POINT / T CURVE. The current temperature set point flashes on the display. STAGE 1 (T ) Press the push-button. The word OFF is displayed indicating that the termperature curve is deactivated. If this is not the case, see below to deactivate the curve.

  • Page 24 TC5-1V6SA If room temperature rises: • When room temperature < Set Point, stage 1 fans run at minimum speed according to the minimum ventilation cycle. • At Set Point: stage 1 fans stop operating according to the minimum ventilation cycle and increase in speed as the room temperature rises.
  • Page 25 TC5-1V6SA • At Set Point + bandwidth: stage 2 fans return to a stop; stage 1 fans start decreasing in speed as the temperature decreases. • At Set Point: stage 1 fans reach minimum speed. • Below the Set Point: stage 1 fans stop operating continuously and operate according to the minimum ventilation cycle at minimum speed.

  • Page 26: Minimum Ventilation Cycle

    TC5-1V6SA INIMUM VENTILATION CYCLE When the room temperature is below the set point, the Stage 1 fans operate according to the minimum ventilation cycle. Running the fans even though ventilation is not required for a cooling purpose is useful to reduce humidity levels and supply oxygen to the room.
  • Page 27 TC5-1V6SA Adjusting Minimum Speed The minimum speed can be adjusted between 10 and 100% of the full speed of the fans. Set the selection knob to STAGE 1 — MINIMUM SPEED / CURVE. The current minimum speed for Stage 1 flashes on the display.

  • Page 28: Humidity Compensation

    TC5-1V6SA UMIDITY COMPENSATION The stage 1 minimum speed can be adjusted automatically as a function of relative humidity. As humidity increases, the stage 1 minimum speed in- creases proportionally to compensate for the change. At humidity levels at or below the humidity set point, stage 1 minimum speed is equal to the normal uncompensated speed.
  • Page 29 TC5-1V6SA Viewing Relative Humidity The relative humidity is expressed as a percentage. Set the selection knob to STAGE 1 — HUMIDITY CON- TROL. The current relative humidity is displayed. Turn the adjustment knob clockwise by one notch. The STAGE 1...

    TC5-1V6SA Press the push-button. The relative humidity set point is displayed, alternating with the letters "set rH". Use the adjustment knob to adjust the set point to the desired value. Adjusting Minimum Speed Compensation This is the percentage increase in minimum speed for a relative humidity equal to the humidity set point + 10%.
  • Page 31 TC5-1V6SA INIMUM VENTILATION SPEED CURVE The user can define a minimum ventilation speed curve to adjust the Stage 1 minimum speed automatically over a given time period. Each curve is defined by six points. Each point specifies a day number and a fan speed for that day.

    OFFSET: An offset is a temperature difference from the set point that normally defines a cut-off point for a stage operation. For example, a heater offset of 2°F means the heaters will turn off at 2°F below the set point. TC5-1V6SA.rev.06...
  • Page 55 TC5-1V6SA RAMPING ON STAGE 1: When the temperature rises to the point where Stage 1 constant-speed fans are needed for cooling, the running time of the fans is increased gradually from the minimum ventilation settings up to full operation. Likewise, when the temperature drops below the set point, the running time is decreased gradually until the minimum ventilation settings are reached.
