1 Introduction
1.1 Intended purpose
The SC600 is a system intended to control the HVAC components (heating, ventilation, airconditioning) in buses, for example roof-top air-condition systems, heating devices...
It consists of a control element integrated into the dashboard (control device as an interface
between human and machine) and a rooftop air-conditioning system or floor heater. The roof
air-conditioning system can take over ventilation, cooling and heating functions depending on
the version. In addition, the controller for the air-conditioning components can operate automatically. To do so, the bus driver simply has to set the desired temperature.

2 Use
2.1 Activation/deactivation
2.1.1 Activation
Press
button
➔ Sets the last configured temperature; Auto mode on
(Figure 4).
2.1.2 Deactivation
Press button
➔ System deactivated.
2.2 Auto mode
2.2.1 Activation
Press button if Auto mode is off
➔ Auto mode is on - corresponding status light and func-
tion symbol light up on the display (Figure 5).
2.2.2 Deactivation
Press button if Auto mode is on

2.3 Configuring the blowers manually
2.3.1 Activating the controller manually
Press button
➔ Manual operation of the blower is activated - the
blower will continue running at the current speed.
➔ The blower level can be manually set 3 seconds after
pressing the blower level button (the corresponding
status light blinks during this time).
2.3.2 Setting blower level
The blower can be set in level increments of 0 (blower speed = 0%) to 10 (blower speed =
100%).
Press button
➔ Blower level +1 ( → ).
Press button
➔ Blower level -1 ( → ).
When Auto mode is deactivated, the air conditioning compressor (after a run time of 90 seconds max.) and the heater
The blowers will continue to be controlled automatically if the
blower level was not manually configured.
Configurations can only be applied within the permitted limits
(e.g. vehicle motor off → blow speed max. 25%).
If the blower is set below 20%, the cooling and heating func-

2.4 Fresh air/recirculating air function
Press button
➔ System switches to fresh air/recirculating air function
for 10 minutes (i.e. if the fresh air function is currently
on, the system switches to recirculating air and vice
versa).
➔ After 10 minutes, the system activates the function
that best supports reaching the desired temperature
stipulated.
➔ Pressing the button again within 10 minutes toggles
and resets the function for 10 minutes.
2.5 Setting the temperature
Press button
➔ Desired temperature +1 °C.
Press button
➔ Desired temperature -1 °C.
If the fresh are vales are closed, the corresponding status
light and the display symbol will light up (Figure 9).
Temperature can be configured for 1°C intervals between 15
°C and 28 °C.
