2 Introduction
2.1 TAC Xenta OP
TAC Xenta OP is a small operator panel designed to be used together
with TAC Xenta 100, 280, 300, 401 and 901 units.
The operator panel gives the user access to parameters and alarms with-
out communicating with a central system. Additionally, it is used to
monitor status, adjust setpoints and time channels. All values are dis-
played with an explanatory text in the alphanumeric display window.
2.2 This Manual
This handbook has the following contents:
Chapter 2
In this chapter the connection of the operator panel, TAC Xenta OP, to
the TAC Xenta 100/280/300/401 controllers is shown.
Chapter 3
The use of the OP together with TAC Xenta 100 and the principles for
handling display of Network Variables are explained in this chapter.
Chapter 4
The use of the OP together with TAC Xenta 300/401 controllers and the
most common menus are discussed here.
Chapter 5
This chapter contains technical data on the TAC Xenta OP.
Caution
• The TAC Xenta OP and the other products of the Xenta family
must not be used for any other purpose than that for which it was
designed.
• Installation and repair may only be performed by authorized per-
sonnel.

2.3 More information
TAC Xenta OP is also described or mentioned in the following docu-
ments:
• The TAC Xenta OP Operator panel data sheet
• The handbooks for the different TAC Xenta controller units
• The TAC Menta User’s manual
Stand-alone TAC Xenta 300/3000 controllers and I/O modules can be
commissioned by using the Service menu of TAC Xenta OP (which is
not the same as the local OP service menu). This procedure is described
in the TAC Xenta 300 and 401 Handbook.

3 Connection and Basic Functions
3.1 Description
The TAC Xenta OP Operator panel has an LCD display with 4*20
characters and six push buttons. A modular socket or four screw termi-
nals are used for communication and for connecting the power supply.
These connectors are placed on the rear. There is also a potentiometer
to adjust the contrast of the display, on the rear.
The OP has an LCD display that can be lighted from beneath. The light
is controlled from the OP Service menu (section 2.5).
The operator panel is used to monitor status and to adjust setpoints and
time channels. It also makes it possible to list the alarms without com-
municating with a central system.
The operator panel is controlled from a master, a TAC Xenta 100, 280,
300 or 401 controller. When you start using the operator panel, it will
send a message to the master telling it what button was pushed. The
master contains the dialog messages and will direct the operator panel
what to show on the display. Thus the operator panel will act as a dumb
terminal.

3.2 Connecting to TAC Xenta 100
Normally the TAC Xenta OP is connected to the modular jack on the
lower side of the Wall Module. In this way the Xenta OP will get power
supply from the TAC Xenta 100 unit.
Cable between controller and Operator panel: max. 10 m
The contrast of the display can be adjusted with the potentiometer on the
rear of the operator panel; please refer to the figure in the next section.
3.3 Connecting to TAC Xenta 280/300/401
Cable between controller and Operator panel: max. 10 m.
When connecting the operator panel there are two alternatives (please
refer to the adjacent figures):
• Use the modular socket on the front of the TAC Xenta 280/300/
401 controller and the corresponding socket on the back of the
operator panel. This requires a special cable.
• Use the screw terminals on the back of the operator panel,
labelled 1–4. Terminals 1 and 2 are used for communication and
terminals 3 and 4 for 24 VAC (or DC).

At the controller you use the terminals C1, C2 and G, G0.
The contrast of the display can be adjusted with the potentiometer on the
rear of the operator panel.
(The Service pin is available from the rear if, in special cases, the net-
work configuration procedure requires this. When the pin is pressed, a
unique hardware identity code is sent on the network.)

3.5 Local Functions of the OP Service Menu
For simple hardware check of the OP and for certain system parameters
there is a local Service menu in the operator panel. The OP functions are
quite independent of the other TAC Xenta units and only require that the
operator panel is connected to the network and that the panel has not
been set in the TAC Xenta 100 communication mode (see below).
The Service menu appears if both the keys and are pressed
for about three seconds simultaneously.
