We recommend you check the device's programming before starting the device. The default parameters set by TECSYSTEM might not match your requirements. Programming the device is the end user's responsibility, the settings of the alarm thresholds and the enabling of the functions described in this manual must be checked (by a specialised engineer) according to the application and features of the system the control unit is installed on.
Pt100 sensors c) damage of the inputs of the control unit. For the Pt100 sensor connection , TECSYSTEM S.r.l. has designed its own special cable to transfer the measurement signals, CEI-compliant, with all the protection requirements provided for: CT-ES NOTE: the use of cables not complying with the above might cause reading anomalies.
CAL message display: the indication appears when the measurement circuit is damaged. The temperature values displayed might be incorrect. Return the control unit to TECSYSTEM for repairs. VOTING FUNCTION The voting function derives from the redundancy concept that consists of duplicating the components of a system to increase their reliability.
The NTF999 control unit has two active FAN lines (FAN1 and FAN2). The outputs F1 and F2 are powered directly by the NTF999 device, in relation to the power supply value of the device itself, supply range from 85 to 250 Vac, maximum current supports 6A (10A fuse for short circuit protection).
The NTF999 control unit is in communication with the network only when it is in temperature reading mode, while it is inactive when it is in the following modes: display, programming and relays test.
The ETH module is always in slave mode. The NTF999 control unit is in communication with the network only when it is in temperature reading mode, while it is inactive when in the following modes: display, programming and test relays.
