Operation
Using a vapour-filled capillary tube and diaphragm system, the frost monitor measures the lowest
temperature that occurs anywhere along at least 250 mm of the capillary tube.
If the monitor is correctly positioned at the air outlet of the heating coil, it measures the lowest temper-
ature even if there are strata of differing air temperatures. In so doing, the steam pressure causes a
movement of the diaphragm capsule in the capillary tube. By means of an inductive measuring sys-
tem, this movement is converted into an electric signal and is amplified electronically; it then creates a
0...10 V d.c. measuring signal.

Sauter Components
The TFL 611 fulfils its task with the aid of three independent functions:-
1. It continuously opens the heating valve within a proportional control range.
2. It switches the ventilators off and closes the dampers via its relay contacts.
3. It makes the measured temperature available for further processing.
The measuring signal is processed further for the monitor function and the valve control to the frost
signal.
At about 6 Kelvin above the set frost point (P), the frost signal starts to rise.
Functional diagram
Start-up function
The frost signal is added to the valve control signal that is fed to signal input Y. This causes the heat-
ing valve to be opened via signal output Y10 before the output relay is switched to the 'Frost' position
(Q11-Q12). This circuit prevents the system from switching on and off several times when starting up.
In order to ensure that the temperature measured at the capillary tube is always the lowest one, the
temperature of the diaphragm capsule inside the housing must always be higher than the temperature
of the capillary tube. This is achieved using the controlled heater that is installed in the housing as
standard, which maintains a diaphragm capsule temperature of above 15 °C even at an ambient
temperature of −15°C.
Operating modes
There are three operating modes which can be selected using a rotary switch:-
Automatic mode (Auto) After a frost shut-off, the output relay automatically returns to its normal
position when the capillary tube temperature increases (> 2 K).
Manual mode (Manu) After a frost shut-off, the output relay does not switch back (when the capil-
lary tube temperature is increasing, i.e. > 2 K) until either the internal reset
button has been pressed or the power supply has been switched off (using
an external reset button if necessary).
Test mode (Test) In test mode, the output relay is forced into the 'Frost' position. The valve
control signal Y10 is not affected. When the equipment switches back to the
'Manu' switch position, the frost position is retained and can be cancelled us-
ing the reset button.
Features
The frost monitor consists of a two-piece plastic housing, a lower part and a lid, and a capillary that is
active over its entire length. The lid is attached to the lower part of the housing with a screw. The
housing contains: the electronic circuit, the diaphragm capsule with heater, the adjustment elements,
the type plate and the connecting terminals.
The connecting terminals, the adjustment elements and the name plate are accessible after removing
the lid. The cables can be routed at the bottom of the housing.
The wires can be fed through at the bottom of the housing. For this purposes, the housing has a
break-out aperture without a thread for a M16 screw connection and two break-out inputs for addition-
al M16 screw connections. The frost monitor is designed for direct wall mounting with or without a test
loop, and also for wall mounting with a mounting flange (for air-duct insulation).

Engineering and fitting notes
The monitor requires a power supply of 24 V AC. A transformer for safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
with separate windings and for 100% duty cycle should be used.
Fuses, switches, wiring and earthing should be implemented in accordance with local regulations. The
maximum permissible cable lengths should be observed.
If the capillary becomes mechanically damaged or there is a leak somewhere in the diaphragm sys-
tem, the frost monitor simulates a low temperature and moves to the 'Frost' position. The same ap-
plies in the event of a power failure or when important electronic components malfunction.
Where to fit
On the warm side of the heating coil (air/water heat exchanger).
Fitting the housing
Direct fitting
Fit the housing (with its integrated fixing holes) onto the wall of the heating coil. Protect the capillary
tube in the air-duct hole with the rubber plugs provided.
If fitting inside the duct, fit the housing to the inside wall of the heating coil, feeding the capillary tube
through a housing hole at the side.
Direct fitting, with test loop for operational test
Fit the housing (with its integrated fixing holes) to the wall of the heating coil, feeding the capillary tube
through a housing hole at the side. Form a test loop with the capillary tube and then feed the capillary
tube into the air duct. Protect the capillary tube in the air-duct hole with the rubber plugs provided.
This method of fitting is unsuitable if the ambient temperature at the test loop (which is outside) can
fall below that at the place of measurement in the air duct (the measuring signal of the sensor always
equates to the lowest temperature, wherever it occurs on the capillary tube).
With accessory 0292146 001
Suitable for air ducts with insulation of up to 70 mm.
Fit the flange onto the wall of the heating coil and feed the capillary tube through the flange into the air
duct.
Fitting the capillary tube
Wind the capillary tube in coils, keeping the same distance, around the whole heating coil and fix to
the fins with spacer clamps at a distance of about 50 mm to the fins (accessory 0303167).
Note
The capillary tube should not be bent sharply. Any bends should have as large a radius as possible.
Fitting notes
The connection terminals are protected against being wired up incorrectly with regard to own voltages
of up to 24 V a.c. There is no protection against incorrect connection of 230 V a.c. mains.
Putting into service
The frost monitor should be put into service and set up in accordance with the instructions supplied.
The frost monitor can be tested for correct operation with a test loop using an ice/water mixture.
The relay output can be checked using the operating-mode switch (in the 'Test' position).
