VTC-1D user manual 

The Variable Temperature Control (VTC-1D) automatically controls the temperature in a room by adjusting 
the speed of variable speed fans. 

When the temperature is at the temperature set point, the VTC-1D operates the fans at the idle speed setting. 
When the temperature exceeds the set point, the VTC-1D increases the speed. When the temperature drops 
below the set point, the VTC-1D shuts off the fans (in shut-off mode) or operates the fans at idle speed (idle 
mode).

Electrical ratings 

‹

 

Input:  

115/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz 

‹

 

Variable stage:   10 A at 120/230 VAC, general-purpose (resistive) 
 

7 FLA at 120/230 VAC, PSC motor  

 

1/2 HP at 120 VAC, 1 HP at 230 VAC, PSC motor 

‹

 

Fuse:  

15 A, 250 VAC ABC-type ceramic 

 

 

The FLA (full load ampere) rating accounts for the increase in motor current draw 
when the motor operates at less than full speed. Make sure the motor/equipment 

connected to the variable stage does not draw more than 7 FLA.
