TAC Xenta® 121-FC
Programmable Fan Coil Application
TAC Xenta 121-FC is an easily programmable controller intended for both 2-pipe and 4-pipe applications, with or without re-heat.
It can be configured for use with a multitude of valve actuator types, such as on/off, multistage, increase/decrease, PWM, and so
on. The controller has different types of fan control and advanced fan control functions, including on/off delays, boosting, and
conditioning.
The sequences for cooling, heating, and fan are completely user-programmable, allowing for numerous applications. For energy
savings the controller has built-in economizer functionality. Use TAC Xenta 121-FC with any TAC STR (1.8 kohm) room unit.
Set-up is done using the programming tool TAC ZBuilder, which can be run stand-alone or as a device plug-in to either TAC Vista®
or an LNS-based tool. Using Vista or an LNS-based tool, the configuration settings are downloaded into a TAC Xenta 121, prepared
with the necessary basic application software.
The controller is a LonMark® compliant device aimed at communicating on a LonTalk® TP/FT-10 channel. It is able to operate both
as a stand-alone device and as part of a system. In- and output net work variables can be monitored via the TAC Xenta OP, but
programming relies on the use of the TAC ZBuilder.

Control sequence fan coil (example)
TAC Xenta 121-FC can be programmed
to have up to two heating devices and
one cooling device. Each of these can be
a multistage, pwm, analog, or increase/
decrease device.
A Fan Coil unit can have a heating coil
and a cooling coil (4-pipe, Fig. 1a).
It can also be a combined cooling and
heating coil (2-pipe, Fig. 1b). For the
2-pipe application, a water temperature
sensor is required for crossover.
An electrical heater is common as the
second device.
The user defines the sequence; there are
no restrictions that a specific device be
activated first, in parallel, in series, or so
on.
Fan control outputs are always either a
multi stage output (1, 2, or 3 stages) or an
analog output.
Economizer control using an outside air
damper, as well as CO2 control and %RH
control are available.
When the temperature in the zone increa ses, the heating valve closes, see
Fig. 2. If there is still a cooling de mand,
the cooling valve opens and the fan
speed increa ses in steps until the highest
fan speed is reached.
This sequen ce is reversed when the temperature drops.
