TC-MINI 2 Safety instructions 2.1 Important advice Operation of the device is only permitted if: – the product is used under the conditions described in the installation- and operation instruction, the intended application according to the type plate and the intended use. In case of unauthorized modifications done by the user Bühler Technolo- gies GmbH can not be held responsible for any damage, –...
TC-MINI 2.2 General hazard warnings The equipment must be installed by a professional familiar with the safety requirements and risks. Be sure to observe the safety regulations and generally applicable rules of technology relevant for the installation site. Prevent malfunctions and avoid personal injuries and property damage.
TC-MINI 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-MINI 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.
TC-MINI 4.2.1 Connecting the filter gas connections (optional) The connection G1/4 or NPT 1/4” (filter head marked NPT) for the gas outlet must be carefully and properly connected using a suitable screw connection. When ordering the cooler with the option filter without Moisture detector, a bypass may be connected to the filter head.

As seen in the following graphics using the TC-MINI 6111 as an example, a difference of 15 °C from the ambient temperature means the focus is on drying the sample gas. The stability of the dew point then takes a backseat to the high performance which can be achieved.

TC-MINI DIP switch The unit is configured using four DIP switches at the front of the cooler. ON switch OFF switch Switch, the following numbering of the SWs corresponds with the numbering on the DIP switch. SW1 / SW2 Gas output dew point 3 °C...
TC-MINI 5 Operation and control NOTICE The device must not be operated beyond its specifications. After switching on the supply voltage the cooler starts to cool the cooling block. When switched off the contact between X2.1 and X2.2 is closed.
TC-MINI 5.4 Modbus Communication Communication via Modbus RTU is always imitated by the master (request). The slave (typically) responds to the request with a response. A Modbus RTU frame for a request/response always has the following structure: Address field (A)
