Addendum Summary

This addendum describes how to enable and use the 2-stage 
cooling mode features available with TC-1 firmware version 

3.93 and higher. 

2-Stage Cool Mode

Basic Description: 

In 2-Stage cooling (C2) mode the TC-1 uses a single 

temperature probe to monitor glycol temperature 
and, based on stage 1 and stage 2 set points, 

engages stage 1 and stage 2 relays whenever glycol 
temperature is above each stage's respective set 

point.

C2 mode is only available while the Extended 

Function parameter (EF, accessible under the CC 
menu) is enabled. 

During programming, C2 mode is indicated by the 
illumination of both the COOL and AUTO front panel 

LEDs and by the characters “C2” displayed in the 
temperature window. During operating mode, the 

COOL and AUTO LEDs illuminate while glycol 
temperature is displayed in the Temperature window.

In multiple temperature probe applications, the 
controlling temperature probe is designated by the CP 

parameter (see TC-1 User's Guide).

Each stage's set point (SP1 and SP2) can be adjusted 

individually or ramped up and down together while 
maintaining their relative offsets.
