General Description
The TLC3-FCR is a stand-alone electronic fan coil controller with one control loop. The TLC3-FCR features 1 internal
NTC temperature sensor and four binary outputs (Relays).
A detailed parameterization is possible with the use of a simple configuration routine. The TLC3-FCR can be configured
using the standard operation terminal. No special tools or software is required.
Ordering
Selection of actuators and fans
Binary auxiliary devices: E.g. fans, on/off valves, etc. Do not directly connect devices that exceed 2(1.2)A. Observe
startup current on inductive loads! Do not connect more than one fan coil unit to one controller.

TLC3-FCR Engineering Manual
Mounting location
Install the controller on an easy accessible interior wall, approx. 1.5 m above the floor in an area of average
temperature.
Avoid direct sunlight or other heat sources, e.g. the area above radiators and heat emitting equipment.
Avoid locations behind doors, outside walls and below or above air discharge grills and diffusers.
Location of mounting is less critical if external temperature sensors are used.
Installation
1. Connect the wires to be connected to the terminals of the power case according to wiring diagram
2. Install the mounting plate to the flush mounting box. Make sure that the nipple with the front holding screw is
facing to the ground. Make sure the mounting screw heads do not stand out more than 5 mm (0.2”) off the
surface of the mounting plate.
3. Ensure that the jumpers are set correctly.
4. Slide the two latches located on the top of the front part into the hooks at the upper side of the mounting plate.
5. Carefully lower the front part until the interconnector reaches the mounting-plate. Continue pressing in a gentle
way until the front part is fully connected. While inserting the connectors, a slight resistance can be felt. This is
normal. Do not use excessive force!
6. With a Philips-type screw driver of size #2, carefully tighten the front holding screw to secure the front part to
the mounting plate. This screw is located on the front lower side of the unit. There is no need to tighten the
screw too much.
