DESCRIPTION
The XCOP1 is a Constant Operating Pressure Control that will modulate the speed of an RT-Series Rooftop exhaust fan to maintain a user adjustable negative pressure set point. The set point is adjusted through a pot mounted on the COP circuit board. The
operating range of the XCOP1 control is -0.10 to -1.0” w.c.. Do not use with any other series of Tjernlund Inducers/Venters.
Pressure is measured in a chase or duct at the farthest point from the exhaust fan with the included sensing tube and tubing which
connects to the pressure sensing port on the XCOP1. As exhaust volume increases within the duct/chase the resulting reduction in
measured pressure causes the XCOP1 control to increase power to the fan. It speeds up to handle the additional exhaust volume
and slows down when the exhaust volume is reduced, modulating fan speed to maintain a constant exhaust pressure.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Each XCOP1 is electrically factory line tested before shipment.
After opening carton, inspect thoroughly for hidden damage. If any damage is found notify freight carrier and your distributor
immediately and file a concealed damage claim.
INSTALLATION RESTRICTIONS
1. Do not use the XCOP1 to control the draft of gas or oil fired heating equipment. Draft applications for gas and oil heaters require
the burner interlock of the Draft Cop model DCOP1 controller.
2. The XCOP1 is intended for indoor installation only. Do not mount the XCOP1 on a heat source that exceeds 140
O
F (60OC).
3. The maximum distance wire can be ran from the RT-Series Fan junction box to the XCOP1 control is 250 feet.
CAUTIONS
The XCOP1 must be installed by a qualified installer (an individual properly licensed and/or trained) in accordance with all local
codes or, in their absence, in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Failure to install, maintain and/or operate the XCOP1
in accordance with manufacturer's instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and property damage.
1. Disconnect power supply from the XCOP1 when making wiring connections and servicing the XCOP1. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
2. All installation restrictions and instructions in the RT-Series Fan installation instructions must be followed when using the
XCOP1.
3. Make certain power source is adequate for the XCOP1 and RT-Series Fan requirements. Do not add equipment to a circuit
when the total electrical load is unknown.

SIZING A COMMON VENT MANIFOLD SERVING MULTIPLE DRYERS
The most important step towards assuring that individual dryers vented into a common manifold exhaust smoothly is to size the
manifold large enough to reduce the affects that velocity in the manifold has on the junctions of the dryer vent connections.
Exhaust moving too quickly in a common vent manifold can amplify the exhaust at vent connectors by aspirating across the connector opening and creating an amplified siphon affect. With a properly sized common vent manifold, velocities are maintained
below the point where they have a significant affect on the exhaust of the individual dryer connections.
It is important to note that these sizing recommendations are for the common vent manifold only and that the typically smaller minimum vent diameter listed in the RT-Series Fan selection table may be used for the remainder of the horizontal vent and chimney.
The larger diameter vent manifold should extend at least 2 diameters beyond the last dryer connection point.
1. When in doubt, get help from Tjernlund Tech Service at 800-255-4208, push 0 and ask for technical assistance or email
fanmail@tjfans.com with details of the job.
2. When possible use 45
O
Manifold Tee connections to the common vent manifold in the direction of the RT-Series Fan instead of
90OTee connections.
3. If possible, locate larger exhaust volume vent connections closer to the RT-Series Fan. This reduces the affect of their exhaust
on smaller volume connections.
4. The size of the common vent manifold should be at least 90% of the total area of all individual vent connections. See example
below.
Example: A vent layout is required for a job that consists of 3 dryers with 6” diameter outlets.
Add these areas together:
3 x 0.1964 = 0.5892
Total Area = 0.5892 Square Feet x 0.90 (90%) = 0.530. In looking at the table above, this area is greater than an 8" diameter pipe
but smaller than a 10" diameter pipe. 10" diameter vent is the minimum size the common vent manifold diameter should be. It is
perfectly acceptable to be larger than this area if desired. It is also acceptable to have this area be reduced as the vent system
works backward towards the appliance furthest from the RT-Series Fan. In this example, the common vent manifold should extend
at least 20" past the connection point of the dryer farthest from the RT-Series Fan.
XCOP1 INSTALLATION
Do not mount the XCOP1 junction box on a heat source that exceeds 140OF (60OC). Examples of improper mounting surfaces
include vent pipe, top of heater casing or any place where radiant or convective heat would cause the junction box temperature to
exceed 140
O
F (60OC). The XCOP1 is intended for indoor installation only.
Using the key hole slots on the back of the XCOP1 junction box as a template, mark 4 holes on the mounting surface, drill pilot
holes if necessary, and secure junction box using provided screws.
