TC5-8SDA rev.03
The TC5-8SDA is an electronic device used for environmental control in
livestock buildings. It allows the user to maintain a specified target
temperature by controlling the operation of ventilation and heating
equipment. Six stages of constant-speed fans or mist units and two
stages of either constant-speed fans or heaters can be connected to the
controller. In addition, the last cooling stage can be configured as a mist
stage.
The main features of the TC5-8SDA are as follows:
THREE-DIGIT DISPLAY
A three-digit display provides a high level of accuracy, allowing the user
to specify a temperature to within one tenth of a degree (in Fahrenheit
or Celsius units).
PILOT LIGHTS
Pilot lights indicating the state of outputs allow the user to monitor the
operation of the system without having to enter the building.
MINIMUM VENTILATION CYCLE
When ventilation is not required for cooling, the first stage fans can be
operated either continuously or intermittently to reduce the level of
humidity and supply oxygen to the room.
RAMPING OPTION ON STAGE 1
The running time of the fans can be increased (or decreased) gradually to
smooth out the transition between the minimum cycle and full operation
of Stage 1 fans.
MINIMUM VENTILATION COMPENSATION CURVE
An outside probe can be connected to the controller to adjust the
minimum ventilation cycle as a function of outside temperature.
