• thermostat includes wallbox and surface
mounting plates and all installation
hardware to mount directly to drywall or a
standard U.S. wallbox
• models include an adjustable deadband:
- TCN-8901 has 0 to 10 VDC Reverse
Action (RA) and Direct Action (DA)
outputs that feature separate proportional
band adjustments
- TCN-8906 has two On/Off RA and DA
triac outputs that feature separate
differential adjustments
Applications
The TCN-8900 Series features separate
RA/DA outputs for automatic changeover of
heating and cooling applications.
To Order
Specify the code number in the following
selection chart.
Description
The TCN-8900 Series is a family of analog
electronic controllers designed to control
heating and/or cooling valves or dampers.
The TCN-8901 has two 0 to 10 VDC
proportional outputs, one for heating and one
for cooling. The TCN-8906 has two On/Off
triac outputs, one for heating and one for
cooling, capable of switching 0.5 A at 24 VAC.
The dual-scale setpoint dial enables the room
occupant to adjust the thermostat setpoint
within the range of 54 to 82°F (12 to 28°C).
Johnson Controls offers an optional Dial Stop
Screw Kit for applications where fixing or
limiting adjustment to the temperature range
is appropriate.
Features
• small, compact package provides similar
look and feel to the Metastat sensors
• local setpoint provides easy wiring and
installation
• globally scaled unit includes setpoint scale
in both Fahrenheit and Celsius ranges
54 to 82°F (12 to 28°C)
• universal quick-mount design saves time
and simplifies installation
