The TC 120 water temperature control units are reliable, accurate, and easy-to-use process temperature control units. They are self-contained, portable, and shipped ready to use. The TC 120 water temperature control units are designed to circulate water through your process and to precisely, automatically, and reliably maintain it at a specified temperature.
Models Covered This manual provides operation, installation, and maintenance instructions for the TrueTemp™ TC 120 and Sterlco® TC 120 series water temperature control units. Model numbers are listed on the serial tag. A model number followed by Q indicates a specially constructed unit, and not all information in this manual may apply.
Temperature control unit systems are available with options to tailor the unit to your requirements. Some are factory installed; some can be retro-fitted in the field. Consult ACS Group sales for more information. Available TCU options include: Digital flow meter with: ...

Chapter 3: Installation Installation Location Considerations The TC 120 Temperature control systems are portable and can be installed almost anywhere. As with all equipment installations, follow all applicable codes and regulations. The recommended ambient temperature range from +14ºF (-10ºC) to a maximum operating ambient temperature of 131F (55ºC).
Raw Water Water treatment is vital in any piping system. In some cases, raw water may be used in the system without problems; in other cases, it can result in large deposits of scale and corrosion. TC 120 682.98767.00 • 10/04/2018...
ACS offers a complete line of water treatment equipment. Contact your ACS sales representative for water testing and treatment options. Distilled Water Non-ferrous (brass, copper or high-temperature plastic) piping is recommended for distilled water processes. Deionized Water Stainless steel (316 SS minimum) or PVC plastic components must be used with deionized water.
Making System Purge Connections TC 120 temperature control systems equipped with the System Purge option have a compressed air inlet marked MOLD PURGE. Connect to a clean, dry 100 psig (68 kPa/6.9 bar) air line. Install your own shutoff valve to prevent process liquid from backing up into the plant air piping if the compressed air is turned off and the check valve fails.
3-10 Making Electrical Connections TC 120 temperature control systems are designed for three-phase voltage operation. Refer to the unit nameplate for proper voltage and amperage requirements. Make sure you provide a correctly sized and protected supply of electrical power to the unit.

Pump Starter TC 120 temperature controller’s high quality IEC-rated pump motor starters are industrial grade motor controls with overload and overcurrent protection with manual reset. Transformer High quality industrial design transformers are specified to suit incoming voltage on the application and provide 115 VAC control voltage.
The controller is an easy-to-operate microprocessor-based PID control device. When the process reaches the set point, the PID control cycles the cooling valve and/or immersion heater to maintain the proper leaving water temperature. TC 120 682.98767.00 • 10/04/2018...

Do not change any of the control settings without consulting the ACS Group Service Department. The ACS Group warranty does not cover temperature control unit failures from tampering with controller settings! Down Key Each press of the key decrements or reduces the values or settings on Down Arrow Set Value display.
AIR PURGE When water no longer comes out of the cooling WATER OUT line and only air comes out, the purge is complete. Use caution when removing these lines; air pressure is still present inside. TC 120 682.98767.00 • 10/04/2018...
Push the button to silence the alarm. ALARM SILENCE The optional mechanical high temperature safety alarm is interlocked with the heater. When triggered, the heater cuts out and the pump continues to run. TC 120 682.98767.00 • 10/04/2018...
If the controller does not work properly, or you suspect someone has accidentally changed some settings, there are two things to do. First, perform the Auto-Tune procedure described in Section 5-3. If that doesn’t work, restore the controller to the original factory settings. TC 120 682.98767.00 • 10/04/2018...
Chapter 5: Startup and Operation Introduction The checklist below outlines start-up procedures for TC 120 water temperature control units. This list assumes that installation information located in this manual has been read and followed. Startup Checklist Check the shipping papers against the serial tag to make sure that system size, type, and voltage is correct for the process under control.
All electrical installation and repairs should be done by a qualified electrician. Ground the unit in accordance with electrical codes. Never attempt any repairs without first opening and locking out the main disconnect. Never deactivate or neutralize any safety device. TC 120 682.98767.00 • 10/04/2018...
Check for correct pump rotation direction by looking at the motor impeller. Press the START button and the STOP button, and note the direction that the motor turns. Rotation should be clockwise when viewed from the motor end. Note: Make sure that a qualified electrician performs the following steps. TC 120 682.98767.00 • 10/04/2018...
Cool the unit down by selecting a set point of zero ( °F). Let the unit stabilize at one temperature close to the incoming water temperature, then press the STOP button. Now press the VENT button to relieve any remaining pressure in the system. TC 120 682.98767.00 • 10/04/2018...
Inspect the power cable, especially at the entrance point to the unit. This inspection should be made by a qualified electrician. Check for leaks, especially under the pump, as it may indicate a worn pump seal. TC 120 682.98767.00 • 10/04/2018...
If the shaft is free to turn, next check that the motor overloads are set, check for blown fuses, and finally check the power supply on each leg to the motor. A qualified electrician should check the motor and its circuit. TC 120 682.98767.00 • 10/04/2018...
Sluggish operation, excessive leakage, and/or noise indicate cleaning is necessary. Inspect the components for excessive wear while the valve is disassembled. Rebuild kits are available from the ACS Group Parts Department. Electrical Connections Make sure that a qualified electrician inspects all electrical components and connections every six (6) months for secure attachment and ground connections.
Drain and flush the unit every six (6) months to remove sediment buildup. Completely drain the unit and carefully blow out the piping with pressurized air before placing the unit in storage. TC 120 682.98767.00 • 10/04/2018...
