We strongly recommend installing supplementary natural
ventilation as well as a back-up thermostat on at least one
cooling stage (refer to the wiring diagram enclosed with this
user's manual to connect the thermostat).
Although fuses at the input and outputs of the controller
protect its circuits in case of an overload or overvoltage, we
recommend installing an additional protection device on the
controller's supply circuit.
The room temperature where the controller is located MUST
ALWAYS REMAIN BETWEEN 32°F AND 104°F (0°C TO 40°C).
To avoid exposing the controller to harmful gases or exces-
sive humidity, it is preferable to install it in a corridor.
DO NOT SPRAY WATER ON THE CONTROLLER

The TC5-1V10SA is an electronic device used for environmental control in
livestock buildings. It allows the user to maintain a specified target tem-
perature by controlling the operation of ventilation and heating equipment.
One stage of variable speed fans can be connected to the controller, as
well as eight stages of constant-speed fans and two stages of either con-
stant-speed fans or heating units. In addition, one of the constant-speed
fan stages can be configured as a mist cooling stage.
The main features of the TC5-1V10SA are as follows:
THREE-DIGITDISPLAY
A three-digit display provides a high level of accuracy, allowing the user to
specify a temperature to within one tenth of a degree (in Fahrenheit or
Celsius units).
PILOT LIGHTS
Pilot lights indicating the state of outputs allow the user to monitor the
operation of the system without having to enter the building.
MINIMUMVENTILATION CYCLE
When ventilation is not required for cooling, the first stage fans can be
operated either continuously or intermittently to reduce the level of humid-
ity and supply oxygen to the room.
TEMPERATURE AND MINIMUM VENTILATION SPEED CURVES
Thecontrollercanbeset to automaticallychangethetemperatureset point
and the minimum ventilation speed over a given period of time in accor-
dance with the user's requirements by specifying a temperature curve and
a minimum ventilation speed curve with up to six different points each.
CHOICE OF TEN MOTOR CURVES
Thevariationinmotorspeed resulting from achangeinvoltagewill depend
on the make and capacity of the motor. In order to achieve a high degree
of compatibility between controller and motor, the user can choose from
among ten different motor curves, thus ensuring that the correct voltage is
supplied.

fansincreasesproportionnallytocompensatefor the change.
FULL-SPEED FAN START-UP
In order to overcome the inertia of the ventilation system components and
de-ice the fan blades in cold weather conditions, the controller supplies
maximumvoltagetothevariable speed fansduringthe2seconds immedi-
ately following each start-up.
FOURINDEPENDENT TEMPERATURE PROBE INPUTS
Uptofour temperature probescanbe connected tothecontroller in orderto
obtain a more accurate reading of the average ambient temperature and a
faster reaction time.
OVERLOADAND OVERVOLTAGEPROTECTION
Fuses are installed at the input and outputs of the controller to protect its
circuitryinthecaseof an overload orovervoltage.
COMPUTERCONTROL
The controller can be connected to a computer, thus making it possible to
centralizethemanagementofinformation and diversify controlstrategies.
CONTROL OF AIR INLET MOVEMENT
IftheTC5-1V10SA is usedincombinationwith a PF-6controller, the move-
mentoftheair inletscanbecoordinated with theoperationof the fansusing
a potentiometer located on the panel drive. This allows the air inlets to be
adjusted correctly, without the influence of uncontrollable factors such as
windorairfromadjoining rooms.
TEST MODE
Atestmodeallows you to simulatetemperaturechangesand verify control-
lerperformance.

The relationship between the voltage supplied to a motor and its operating
speed is described by a motor curve. This curve varies with the make and
capacityofthemotor. Thevariousmotorsavailableintheindustryhavebeen
dividedintotencategoriesandthe controller has been programmedwitha
different motor curve for each of these categories. To ensure that the
controller supplies the correct voltages, an appropriate curve must be
selected for Stage 1 according to the type of fan motors used.
Selecting a Motor Type for Stage 1
Refertothelistofmotorsenclosedwiththisuser'smanualtodeterminewhich
type number (1 to 10) is appropriate for the motors used.
