1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The operating manual serves for optimal handling and parametrization of the TCS.2. It should enable
the user to adjust the system to be controlled according to ecological and economic aspects and to
guarantee trouble-free use.
Attention:
Read and follow the safety instructions in the device manual before use.
Principles
This operating manual refers to devices of the following series:
TCS.2: thermofin

and on all related device components supplied by the manufacturer. Regardless of whether wired or
unwired or whether defined as a standard or a special solution with the additional designation “X”.
The binding technical data can be found in the currently valid catalogue sheets, the associated device
specifications and the information on the corresponding nameplates.
For control cabinets, control and regulating devices, the information on their identification plates
applies primarily.
Introduction
Dry coolers, condensers and evaporators require a correspondingly complex control system for
optimal performance adjustment to the currently dissipated heat or amount of cold, taking into
account the climatic environmental conditions. Modern control systems not only enable an operating
mode that is precisely adapted to the conditions of the cooling systems, they are also characterized
by a particularly high level of energy efficiency. Helpful additional functions increase the ease of use
of the systems and enable fast communication with higher-level control systems. The use of high-
quality components enables the fans to run absolutely smoothly as well as gentle and trouble-free
handling of the fan drives.
Complete or split systems are available to users for such control tasks.
The complete systems for fan drives have compact units, each consisting of a control, regulation and
power section.
The split systems are separate units for the control and regulation tasks as well as for the power-
side control of the fan motors.
The split systems are mainly used for fan drives in which the power section is already integrated in
the motor housing or the drive concept and the like provides a separate inverter or voltage regulator.
