TC-MIDI (+) 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-MIDI (+) 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. The sample gas pump may be installed both below and next to the cooler.
TC-MIDI (+) 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-MIDI (+) 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-MIDI (+) Modbus RTU device ID Selecting the device ID for communication via digital interface. The ID can be any within a defined range, the default is 10. The properties of the digital interface are not affected when resetting the device to its factory settings! This menu item is only available on devices with "Digital output Modbus RTU"...
TC-MIDI (+) 5.4.4.1 Submenu 2 (Analog Output 1) The analog output will display the actual cooler temperature. The menu items for the analog output are no available on devices with "Digital output Modbus RTU" option. Signal behaviour In normal mode (noP) the measuring point will output the actual temperature. For testing purposes you can generate constant values hi, or hALF.
TC-MIDI (+) 5.5 Using the Digital Interface The digital interface on this device is a Modbus RTU protocol, which physically communicates via RS485 (2-wire). The cooler therefore takes on the role of the slave in communication. The Modbus interface enables direct access to process and diagnostic data and parameters during operation. 5.6 Modbus Configuration The settings below are the defaults;...
