Temperature Monitor
TD-6
Description
The TD-6 is a 6 channel digital temperature
monitor which can display in Fahrenheit or Cel-
sius. LED indicators indicate which channel is
being displayed and the front panel pushbuttons
can be used to manually select the display chan-
nel or to cause the TD-6 to continuously “scroll”
(displaying each active channel sequentially).
The TD-6 also stores in memory the highest and
lowest readings for each temperature sensor.
First select the desired sensor channel, then dis-
play the highest temperature (max) by depress-
ing the lower pushbutton. The lowest tempera-
ture (min) will be displayed for 3 seconds imme-
diately after the lower pushbutton is released.
The max/min memory is “cleared” to the current
temperature by holding the lower pushbutton
and then momentarily pressing the upper
pushbutton. Note that the max\min tempera-
tures are retained in memory even if power is
removed from the TD-6.
The TD-6 can snap into a existing panel, flush
mounted on a 3 gang electrical box (use IE MK-MK-
MK-MK-
MK-
11

1mounting bracket) or surface mounted on a
wall (use IE MK-2 mounting bracket).

twisted pair wire for runs over 200'. If the wiring
runs close to other electrical equipment (motors,
high voltage wiring, compressors, etc.), shielded
wire should be used (Belden 8760 or 8428) is
recommended). The shield should be attached to
the "C"terminal ofthe TD-6only and nottoearth

The TD-6 can be powered by either 24VAC or
24VDC. Connect the 24V source to the power
terminals labeled "R" and "C". If powering with
24VDC, the positive lead must attach to "R" and
negative lead to "C".

Power-Up and Reset
When the TD-6 is first powered up or reset,
it automatically determines which channels have
sensors attached and turns those channels on. If
it does not find a sensor attached it will skip that
particular channel and turn it off. The TD-6 goes
through this routine every time it is powered up
(powercut andthen reapplied)or reset(hold both
pushbuttons in for 3 seconds). Therefore, when
adding or removing sensors be sure to reset the
TD-6 so it can configure itself to the new format.

Display and Scrolling
Upon initial power-up, the TD-6 will con-
tinuously display the reading for the first active
channel (typically, this is channel 1 and the “1”
LED will be lit). Pressing the upper pushbutton
(“Sensor Index) will cause the display to se-
quence through all of the active channels. The
LEDs will indicate which channel is being dis-
played. If any channel is “off” (no sensor
connected or manually programmed off) it will
be skipped. Holding the “Sensor Index” button
down for 2 seconds will cause the TD-6 to begin
scrolling through all active channels. Tempo-
rarily pressing the “Sensor Index” button will
return the TD-6 to continuously display one
channel.

The TD-6 is designed to snap into a 3.94" x 1.50"
cutout. The optional MK-1 wallplate allows the
TD-6 to be flush mounted on a wall over a 3 gang
electrical box. Alternatively, the MK-2 bracket
allows the TD-6 to be mounted onto a wall
without penetrating the wall surface. Both the
MK-1 and MK-2 mounting plates must be or-
dered separately.

Channels can be manually turned on or off
using the recessed programming button in the
center of the TD-6. To turn channels on or off,
reset the TD-6 (hold both the upper and lower
pushbuttons in for 3 seconds). The display will
go blank for a moment, then the "-188.8" test
pattern will be displayed. While the "-188.8" is
displayed press the program button. "ch1" will
be displayed and the LED marked "1" will light
signifying that the TD-6 is ready to program
channel 1. Pressing the lower pushbutton will
display the current channel setting. If "Fd" is
displayed, the channel is on and ready to monitor
temperatures. If "oFF" is displayed, the channel
is turned off and will be skipped during monitor-
ing. To change either setting, press the program
button again. Pressing the upper or lower
pushbutton will toggle the setting back and forth
between "Fd" and "oFF". Select the desired
setting and press the program button one more
time. This locks in the new setting for channel 1.
This same procedure is used to program all
channels. Pushing the upper pushbutton will
advance the TD-6 through each of the channels.
To exit programming mode, hold the bottom
pushbutton in and momentarily press the upper
pushbutton.

reset the TD-6. While the test pattern is dis-
played, push the program button. "ch1" will be
displayed. Pushing the upper pushbutton will
advance the TD-6 to the next channel. Keep
pushing the upper pushbutton until "FC" is dis-
played (after "ch6"). Pressing the lower
pushbutton will show the current setting. "F"
indicates Fahrenheit and "C" indicates Celsius.
Push the program button again to change the
setting. Pressing the upper or lower pushbutton
will toggle the setting back and forth between
"F" and "C". Select the desired setting and press
theprogram button one more time. This will lock
in the new setting. To exit programming mode,
hold the bottom pushbutton in and momentarily
press the upper pushbutton.
Troubleshooting
There are no setup parameters to set or other
adjustments required for the TD-6 to operate
properly. If you have a problem:
1. For“nodisplaynodisplay
nodisplaynodisplay
nodisplay”conditioncheckthatpower
is connected properly. Turn power off, wait 1
minute and then reapply power. If there still is a
problem the TD-6 will have to be returned for
repair.
2. For temperature displays that “bouncebounce
bouncebounce
bounce” be-
tween several different values: Check that the
sensor lines are not near other electrical cabling,
use shielded sensor wire if required. If shielded
wire is used, make sure the shield is attached to
the "C" terminal of the TD-6 only.
3. For “erroneous” readings check that the
sensor is making good thermal contact with
whatever is being measured and that the sensor is
insulated from ambient temperatures. If the
sensor is in a wet environment (constantly con-
densing humidity), moisture may, over time,
enter the sensor body and result in errors. If this
is the case, replace the sensor.
4. If "HI" or "LO" is displayed, there may be a
problem with the sensor or sensor wiring. To
determine if this is the problem, disconnect the
sensor wiring from the TD-6. Measure the resis-
tance across the sensor wiring with an ohmmeter
if a short or open condition exists, determine
whether the sensor or the wiring is the cause by
measuring resistance directly at the sensor. If the
results are the same, the problem is in the sensor.
If not, the wiring is the cause.

All Goldline controls use 10K thermistor sen-
sors. When disconnected from the control the
sensor will read 10 K ohms at 25°C/77°F. Refer
to the chart below for the resistance at other
temperatures. For a given temperature, the resis-
tance reading should be accurate to +/- 1%. For
a given resistance reading, the temperature read-
ing should be accurate to +/- 0.5°F.
