Application
T168 Series
The T168 series microprocessor based
thermostat/controller provides a 0-10 Vdc or 4-20 mA
control. This series controls a variety of two-pipe and
four-pipe fan coil units, air handling units, unitary
equipment, and various heating and cooling
applications.
The microprocessor combines a proportional plus
intergral control algorithm with advanced adaptive
logic. This provides control without the need for tuning
or calibrating the control algorithm in the field.
Features
T168 Series
Digital, Proportional Thermostat/Controller
General Instructions
• Digital display of set point, ambient temperature,
and operating mode
• 0-10 Vdc or 4-20 mA heat and cool outputs
• Remote setback capability from a time clock or
facility management system (contact closure)
• Auxiliary heat function
• Remote and seasonal changeover sensor
• Fahrenheit or Celsius display capability
• In two pipe mode a built-in purge cycle assists the
controller to determine if the controlling agent is
providing heating or cooling
• Line voltage cont inuous on/off or 3-speed fa n control
• Low voltage fan cycling operation with demand

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS (wiring diagram)
CAUTION:
• Keep all wiring at least 1-1/2 ft. (45.7 cm) away from any potential source of electrical
interference or noise.
• Do not run sensor wire parallel to line voltage wiring.
• Do not run sensor wire in conduit with line voltage.
• When low voltage or sensor wiring must intersect line voltage, cross at perpendicular
angle to minimize electrical noise.
