It is a requirement of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 1992 to provide adequate
isolation and emergency stop facilities. Due to the varied nature of site installations this cannot
be provided by Nordson but instead is the responsibility of the customer.
For installation in hazardous areas, all work must be carried out with the electrical supply
isolated or only when the potentially explosive atmosphere is not present. Checks should be
made to ensure the category of equipment is suitable for the zone in which the installation is
made.
All electrical work has to be done by a qualified electrician according to the national and local
electric codes that apply. (EN60204.1, IEC 364).
All electrical power must be shut off during installation of the Control Board.
Do not apply power on any circuits before all connections have been made.
On outside installations, always isolate power before opening the controller in wet weather
conditions.
The Control Board provides following functions:
Starting and stopping of the cleaning function at the assigned (adjustable) set points, initiating the
individual pulses in an appropriate sequence, providing the correct time interval between pulses,
energizing the solenoid valve for the proper length of time, and also providing the logic to control
the alternate cleaning modes
Connection of up to 32 valves in parallel mode. (16 valves for the light version - based on 22w /
Valve).
Connection of up to 96 valves in a serial linked, multi module system. (based on 22w / Valve).
Operation of multiple fan systems (e.g. ECB units) under either standard or ‘ATEX‘ mode
cleaning.
An LCD-display showing all settings and alarm messages
Push buttons to start and stop the fan
Overload protection of the fan(s).
A visual display of the pulse cleaning
A bar graph indicating the differential pressure over the filter elements
Possibility to set an adjustable off-line cleaning cycle
A visual display of the off-line cleaning cycle when set
‘Stop-and-go’ or ‘stop-and-end’ setting (explanation: see chapter 7.11)

2. DELIVERYANDMOUNTINGINSTRUCTIONS
The TCB is normally delivered pre-mounted and pre-wired with the Afterfilter. In case the TCB is
shipped loose with the unit, follow the next steps to ensure a faultless functioning of the control box.
When the Control Board is received, verify that the enclosure has not been damaged during
shipment. Compare the items received against the packing list. If you find any components that
are damaged or missing, notify the delivery company and your local Nordson representative.
Unpack the Control Board enclosure. Some items may have been shipped inside the enclosure.
Remove any packing material and dispose of it properly.
Items shipped loose with the Control Board may include:
The enclosure of the Control Board should be mounted in a location convenient for the operator or
maintenance personnel. Since the display provides visual warning of problems and operating
conditions, much of its value is lost if the location does not permit continuous observation. For the
longest, most trouble-free operation, mount the enclosure on the unit or a wall/column with little or no
vibration.
The distance away from the Afterfilter is limited by the length of tubing and cable supplied with the
equipment (standard 10 m).
In order to get reliable signals to the sensors, the Control Board’s pneumatic sensor lines should not
exceed 20 m. Lengths in excess of this may weaken the signals to the point that they are not reliable.
Contact your Nordson representative for assistance if the sensor lines must be longer than 20 m.
If the area in which the controller is to be located is defined as a hazardous area check to ensure the
rating of the controller supplied is suitable for this area.
2.2. Pneumatic installation
The Afterfilter has tubing fittings installed in the clean air plenum and the dirty air plenum. Attach one
tube from the clean air plenum to the low pressure fitting on the enclosure (blue connector). Attach the
other tube from the dirty air plenum to the high-pressure fitting (black connector). All connections need
to be airtight.
To avoid ingress of powder into the controller pressure transducer, it is recommended that an
in-line filter is fitted between the dirty side of the collector and the controller connection. For
collectors handling explosive powders this filter must be used in both the clean and dirty side
connections.

3. ELECTRICALINSTALLATION
For the connections to the control box see the wiring diagram shipped inside th e enclosure.
All electrical work must be done by a qualified electrician according to the national and
local codes that apply.
3.1. Main switch IP65
The incoming power is connected to the terminals on the main switch inside the enclosure. On standard
power boxes the main switch will be mounted on the door. The enclosure cannot be opened without
first turning off the power to the box (main switch in position ‘0’).
A neutral terminal is provided for termination of a neutral conductor. The neutral connection is not
however required for operation of the controller.
Do not attempt to wire any electrical components while energized. Electrocution
and/or damage to the components may occur.
Connect power supply to the main switch.
When the control board is not factory pre-wired to the Afterfilter make the other connections
to the terminals as per table on page 13.
3.2. Motor connection
For pre-wired units the motor connections will be made directly to the contactors of the fan according
the wiring diagram delivered inside the TCB enclosure.
For controllers shipped loose connections should be made to the DIN rail terminals according to the
wiring diagrams delivered inside the TCB.

3.3. Supply voltage: terminals 1 and 2
The supply voltage for the power box can be either 200V AC, 230V, 380V, 400V (standard TCB), 440V
or 480V, 50 or 60 Hz. A transformer with 63VA or 110VA output will be used. The electronic modules
will be supplied with pre-wired 24V AC on terminals 1 and 2.
3.4. RS-485 Bus: terminal 3–5
All TCB Circuit boards have an RS-485 interface for the communication between Display, I/O module
and slave valve modules. For multiple module systems the RS485 connection is pre-wired to socket
connections on the base of the main controller and the ends of the slave modules.

3.5. Motor protection: terminals 25, 28
An overload relay is used for the fan motor(s); the auxiliary contact will be connected to terminals 25
and 28 (multiple fan overloads will be connected in series). When the fan alarm triggers a shutdown of
the fan set, a re-start is only possible after shutting down the power to the control box and re-setting the
overload switch.
An optional isolation amplifier for motor thermistor protection or bursting disk observer circuit can be
plugged into the I/O module PCB. The input connections will be made to terminal 6 and 7; at terminal 8
and 9 a potential free contact (NC) is available as output signal. This output signal can then be used for
example to initiate an alarm in the TCB by connecting it to terminals 26 and 28.
The terminals for the thermistor will be included as standard on the TCB board, but the Thermistor
module itself is an option.
3.7. Connections for Fan starters : terminals 14–17 (+ 12 & 13 for ECB 4 units)
The contactors for fan starting will be connected as follows:
Terminal 14 = Common = 24V AC Supply.
Terminal 15 = Main contactor for Star-Delta systems, Fan 1 contactor for DOL / multiple fan systems.
Terminal 16 = Star contactor for Star-Delta systems, Fan 2 contactor for multiple fan system
Terminal 17 = Delta contactor for Star-Delta systems, Fan 3 contactor for multiple fan system.
For a 4 fan system :
Terminal 12 = Common = 24V AC Supply.
Terminal 13 = Fan 4 contactor.
These connections are made at the factory.
3.8. Alarm relay: terminals 18–20
A change over contact is available on terminals 18-20. The relay is normally energised and is deenergised when an alarm condition occurs (red alarm lamp on the display lights up) or when a power
failure occurs (see Figure 3 schematic below).
The external ON/OFF push button circuit can be connected to terminals 21-23. The terminals 21 and 22
are connected ex works. To start the fan set: momentarily close contact 23 and 22 (Normally open
contact). To stop the fan set: momentarily open contact 21 and 22 (normally closed contact).
3.10. Input external on: terminal 24, 28
The input terminal 24 can be used to start the filter from an external potential free contact. Closing the
contact = fan start, cleaning operational; opening the contact = fan off. In this case terminals 21 and 22
(remote stop) are bridged.
11
Page 12
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Note all stop / start signals have equal priority and the system can be stopped and started
using the display or remote stop buttons even if terminals 24 and 28 are bridged. To restart
from terminals 24 and 28 this connection must be opened and re-closed. The fan will not start
when the main power is turned on even if 24 & 28 are bridged.
3.11. Outputs for remote control lamps: terminals 29–31
Outputs for ‘Alarm’ and ‘Fan on’-lamps; 24 V maximum load 2W.
3.12. Optional analogue output: terminals 32–34
When this option is supplied a sensor with accuracy of 2,5% will be used. The analogue output is
available at terminals 32-34. The usage of the 0.5% accuracy sensor is possible (at an additional cost).
Optionally the terminals 32-34 can be used as analogue 4-20 mA input (ATEX zone 1 or 2 applications
using external pressure transducer). Terminal 32 = Ground; 33 = in - or output signal sensor; 34 =
Common (+).
3.13. Valve outputs: terminals V1–V16 – Single module systems
The (-) connection of the valves will be made to terminals V1 to V16. The outputs have a maximum load
of 1.9A (45W at 24V DC). The outputs are short circuit and over voltage protected. Up to two solenoid
valves (22W) per output terminal can be connected, so 32 valves in total.
3.14. Valve outputs: terminals V1–V16 – Multiple module systems
Where the TCB is used to operate more than 32 valves a serial linked system is used. The master TCB
will contain an I/O module for connection of motor contactors, alarms, input and output signals. Valves
will be connected using 3 or more slave modules connected to the system using the RS-485 bus
connection. Each slave module contains an PCB pre-wired to the solenoids – max 16 / module.
The slave modules should be connected together and to the master TCB using the connecting leads
supplied.
3.15. Rotary switches “Slave address” and “mode”.
The two rotary switches “slave address” and “mode” are used to set the module number and cleaning
mode. The setting of switches is for the master and pre-mounted slave modules are done in the factory
and should not be changed. For modules assembled to the collector on site set the slave address
switches as detailed below.
Settings are as follows:
Master system – Slave Address = 0,
Mode = 0
Slave modules – Slave address = 1, 2, 3, …. Etc – 1 = Nearest to the master controller.
Mode = 0

3.16. Programmable inputs
Two additional alarms / inputs can be connected to the terminals 26, 27 and 28. The function of these
alarm inputs can be selected by the software (see chapter 7.11).
Two programmable outputs (volt free contacts) are available on terminals 10,11 & 12,13
The function of these outputs can be selected by the software (see chapter 7.13).
Default settings are :
Output 1 – contact closed when cleaning is active. (Setting = 01 - Cleaning on)
Output 2 – contact closed during fan operation and off-line cleaning. (Setting = 03 - Fan on +)
Note : The programmable outputs 1 and 2 are not available in multi fan ECB systems as the
relays are used to connect fan contactors in these configurations.

4. PRE‐START‐UPCHECKLIST
Make sure all connections to both air and electrical supplies are in the correct position
(when not pre-mounted).
Recheck all the electrical and air connections for tightness.
Verify that all electrical systems have been properly grounded.
Verify if the motor protection switch setting matches the motor full load current.
Check the star/delta change over delay setting. Factory default is at 5 seconds, but it can
be adjusted in the setting mode (see chapter 7.7).
For a multi-module system ensure all interconnecting cables are in place and mode and
address switches are set correctly.
After the electrical connections are in place ensure that the door is correctly closed and
secured. The enclosure is designed so the main switch needs to be turned off before the front
panel can be opened.
5.OPERATION
5.1. Single Fan Afterfilter Systems
The TCB control board provides the output signals to the diaphragm valves mounted on the Afterfilter
and also controls the fan motor start-up procedure (and can controls other auxiliary equipment if fitted –
e.g. rotary valve, screw conveyor etc). The differential pressure measured gives a clear indication of the
pressure loss over the filter elements.
By default the unit will start pulsing when the threshold value of 80 daPa is exceeded. A cleaning cycle
normally pulses all valves of the unit in sequence with an interval of 10 seconds between every pulse.
As soon as the differential pressure drops below 40 daPa, the controller will stop the cleaning when a
full cycle is completed; this is called ‘Stop & End’ cleaning.
The LCD display will indicate the status of the unit during operation e.g. SYSTEM ON, CLEANING ON
etc. as well as indicating the current filter differential pressure.
When the differential pressure rises above 150 daPa, an alarm message will be displayed and the
alarm LED will illuminate.
The off-line clean function allows the cleaning cycle to continue for a number of cycles after the fan has
been switched off. This function is switched off by default but can be initiated by altering parameter
P06.
These factory default values can be altered when needed using the guidelines detailed in the following
chapters.
5.2. Multiple Fan Units e.g. ECB Units
The TCB control board provides the output signals to the diaphragm valves mounted inside the
Afterfilter and also controls the fan motor start-up sequence. The differential pressure measured gives a
clear indication of the pressure loss over the filter elements.
For standard units handling non-explosive powders the cleaning will, by default, start pulsing when the
threshold value of 80 daPa is exceeded. A cleaning cycle normally pulses all valves of the unit in
sequence with an interval of 10 seconds between every pulse. As soon as the differential pressure
15
Page 16
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
drops below 40 daPa, the controller will stop the cleaning when a full cycle is completed; this is called
‘Stop & End’ cleaning.
If off-line cleaning is to be carried out this is done one module at a time, the fans of the other modules
maintaining suction in their respective unit sections to avoid powder clouds being generated outside the
unit.
The number of cleaning cycles carried out depends on the pressure drop at the time the unit is stopped,
the number of cycles set and also the pressure drop across the filters during the cleaning cycle. This
sequence is designed to optimise the cleaning effectiveness while minimising air usage and cleaning
time. During off-line cleaning the display will indicate the module being cleaned and the number of
cycles remaining.
For ECB units handling explosive powders, and hence operating in a hazardous area the cleaning
sequence is carried out only when the unit is off-line using the sequence described above. Cleaning on
line is not initiated, regardless of filter differential pressure, to avoid generating a potentially hazardous
atmosphere within the collector during periods where the working area outside the unit could potentially
generate ignition sources.
The contactor provided to activate working area lighting is de-energised during off-line cleaning periods.
The software parameters controlling these cleaning sequences are factory set to correspond to the unit
type supplied and installation conditions and cannot be changed.
5.3. Status LED’s
The status LEDs on the front display panel of the TCB have the following meanings:
SERVICE LED - When during normal operation the service LED lights up, the unit needs to be
checked by a Nordson representative.
LED BAR GRAPH - The LED Bar graph will indicate the actual status of the filter
ALARM LED - The Alarm LED will light up when one of the followings alarms occur:
- Fan overload protection tripped
- One or both additional alarm inputs at the module are “low”
- DeltaP Alarm
FAN / PULSE LED - The Pulse LED will flash when a pulse is active. When the Fan set is
running, this LED will be on. When in the mean time the valves are pulsing, this LED will go out
briefly on every active pulse. When the fan is not running, the LED will be out and flash when a
pulse is active.
PULSE STOP LED - The pulse stop LED will light up when cleaning is not active.
OFF LINE CLEANING LED - The Off-line Cleaning LED will light up during off-line cleaning.

Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
9. MAINTENANCE
In general the TCB control box does not require any maintenance. There are some items however
that need to be checked on a regular basis:
In-line Micrafilters in the air lines: when these are very dirty, there will be a pressure drop
over them, making the differential pressure measurement over the elements unreliable.
Air lines and cable glands to and from control box should be checked for damage and/or
tightness. If these become loose, the values shown on the display may not be accurate,
and possibly powder or moisture will be able to enter the enclosure causing damages and
possible short-circuits.
The clock on the front PCB has a CR 2032 battery. This battery will deplete over time and
needs to be changed as soon as the alarm message is displayed. In order to do this, the
cover over the front PCB needs to be removed first. Make sure to mount the battery with
the ‘+’ side facing to the right of the PCB.
Re-set the time and date after replacing the battery.
Figure 4: Display PCB battery
10. OPTIONSANDFEATURES
In addition to the features already described, the Total Control Board has some extra options and
settings built-in to provide additional functions and data recording / information retrieval capabilities.
These following options can only be accessed and installed by a Nordson representative, so please
consult your local Nordson representative for more information.
Forced cleaning time: initiates a forced cleaning cycle at a specified time interval.
Fan run-on time: fan set remains activated during a certain period after system is switched
off.
Optional input signal: possibility to initiate for example an alarm to stop cleaning cycle.
Optional output signal: possibility to start for example a rotary airlock on off-line cleaning.
DeltaP sensor type: possibility to measure DeltaP over filter elements by a 4-20 mA
pressure transducer.
Thermistor module for fan motor protection.
4-20mA Output proportional to measured pressure drop.
The options mentioned above can also cause alarm messages to be displayed on the TCB.
Relieving the alarm is done in the same way by pressing the ENTER button after correcting
the input to the control board.
