TLC-BCR-T Engineering Manual

General Description

The TLC-BCR-T is a stand-alone electronic binary controller with one control loop. The TLC-BCR-T feat ures one internal
and one external NTC temperature sensor input and two binary outputs (Relays).

A detailed parameterization is possible with the use of a simple configuration routine. The TLC-BCR-T can be
configured using the standard operation terminal. No special tools or software is required.

Selection of actuators and sensors

Temperature Sensors: Use only our approved NTC sensors to achieve maximum accuracy. Recommended is SDB­Tn10-15 as Duct sensor, SRA-Tn10 as Room sensor and SDB-Tn10-15+AMI-10 as immersion sensor.

Binary auxiliary devices: E.g. pumps, fans, on/off valves, etc. Do not directly connect devices that exceed 2(1.2)A.
Observe startup current on inductive loads!

Mechanical Design and Installation

The unit consists of three parts:

1. The mounting plate made of galvanized steel.

2. The power case made of fire proof ABS plastic.

3. The front part made of white fire proof ABS plastic.

Installation

1. Arrange the wires to be connected and cut them to equal length.

2. Connect them to the terminals of th e power case according to wiring diagram

3. Clip the power case to the mounting plat e, pull the connection cable through the large central opening of the
mounting plate. Insert the power case into the flush mounting box. Carefully arrange power wires.

4. 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 screw heads do not stand out more than 5 mm of the surface of the
mounting plate.

5. Connect the connection cable to the plug located on the back of the front part.

6. Slide the two latches located on the to p of the front part into the hooks of the mounting plate.

7. Lower the front part until located flat on the wall and the mounting plate is not visible anymore. Make sure
the connection cable does not get into the way.

8. Tighten the front holding screw to secure the front par t to the mounting plate.

Mounting location

• 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 electrical

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.
