TC-Double (+) 3 Transport and storage Only transport the product inside the original packaging or a suitable alternative. The equipment must be protected from moisture and heat when not in use. It must be stored in a covered, dry and dust-free room at a temperature of -20 °C to 60 °C (-4 °F to 140 °F).
TC-Double (+) 4 Installation and connection 4.1 Installation site requirements The unit is only intended for wall-mounted use in enclosed areas. Adequate protection from the weather must be provided when used outdoors. Install the unit leaving enough room below the cooler to discharge the condensate. Leave room above for the gas supply. Be sure to maintain the approved ambient temperature.
TC-Double (+) 4.2.4 Sample gas pump connection gas lines (optional) On coolers ordered with attached sample gas pump these are already installed and wired. Add-on parts ordered at the same time are already installed and connected to the sample gas pump. Avoid mixed-material installation, i.e.
TC-Double (+) The gas inputs are marked in red. On glass heat exchangers the correct position of the seal is important when connecting the gas lines (see image). The seal con- sists of a silicone ring with a PTFE sleeve. The PTFE side must face the glass thread. Glass PTFE 4.3 Electrical connections...

TC-Double (+) Plug connection This device has one EN 175301-803 plug each for the power supply and the signal output. If the lead is connected correctly, these cannot be confused. Therefore please be sure to correctly reassemble the plugs after connecting the wires. Below you will find the pin assignments, with the numbers corresponding to those on the plugs: The supply line cross-sections must be suitable for the rated current.
TC-Double (+) 4.4 Signal outputs The device has various status signals. The maximum switching power of the alarm outputs is 250 V AC/150 V DC, 2 A, 50 VA, each. An alarm is triggered by the alarm contact/status output (S2) if the temperature in block 1 is outside the specified limits. It does not indicate if the alarm was triggered due to excess temperature or insufficient temperature.
TC-Double (+) 5 Operation and control NOTICE The device must not be operated beyond its specifications. After switching on the cooler the block temperature will be displayed (block 1). The display will flash until the block temperature has reached the preset target value (± adjustable alarm range). The status contact is in the Alarm position. Once the target temperature range has been reached, the temperature will continuously be displayed and the status contact switches over.
