TUC1800/2000-usm. rev.01

submitted to fluctuating ambient temperatures in the range of -20;

+40°C for TUC1800 or -20;+50°C for TUC2000.

CAUTION: The VebaBox is not constructed for cooling goods down. This

means, that goods should be preconditioned to the required temperature

before being put into the box.

CAUTION: When loading the box, allow clearance around air intake and

outlet of the unit. Goods should be stacked to allow at least a 10 cm gap directly

below the ceiling of the box. Do not place goods directly under the heat

exchanger –risk of dripping water.

The VebaBox TUC180 / TUC2000 is intended to be installed in the

closed superstructures of any type of cargo vans equipped with an

alternator power source of 12V / 100A DC minimum. The unit is

available both for installation on one side panel of the box (TUC180B

Turning on the unit:

To switch on the unit, use the power switch (2). Note that if the

remote control is installed, the power switch on the thermal unit

needs to be always switched off. Use the power switch on remote

control in this case to turn on the thermal unit.

Note the unit will operate only when car engine is running, unless a

Powerpack has been installed or you use 110/230 VAC external

power supply.

Temperature setting:

During normal operation display shows the actual internal

temperature. To change the SET temperature:

•Press the SET button, the set temperature value starts to

blink.

•Use selecting buttons (arrows) to change the set

temperature.

•Press the SET button again to confirm the temperature and

return to the current temperature display. (If no button is

pressed within 6 seconds, the current temperature is

automatically displayed).

Indicators:

The unit has one of 4 possible operational states:

•Cooling active –indicated by symbol (9)

•Heating active –indicated by symbol (10)

•On temperature (in pre-set tolerance band) –neither symbol

9 or 10 is lit.

•Delay of operation mode change –blinking of symbol 9 or

10 indicates that unit is changing its mode (cooling to

heating or vice versa) and is waiting for preset time delay (3

minutes by default)

TUC1800/2000-usm. rev.01

Alarm function is available on temperature controller. By default, this

will signal any deviation of more than 3°C from the set temperature.

Alarm sound can be muted by pressing any button (alarm will be still

signalized by the display blinking and symbol 14 lit).

Remote control

Thermal unit installation can contain remote dashboard control. If

installed, some specific conditions apply:

•Remote display has priority in control of temperature. If

connected, the display on the thermal unit cannot be used

for setting of temperature and is not taking part in

temperature regulation.

•The same rules as described in section “controls” apply to

the remote display (including setting of temperature in the

box)

•Do not use power switch on thermal unit. This switch should

be in position “0” all the time. Use switch on remote control

to operate the unit.

Master/slave operation

If the box volume requires it, the box can be equipped with 2 thermal

units connected in series. This allows higher volumes to be

controlled. The first unit in the chain becomes the master device,

and this is the only device that shows or controls the temperature in

the box. The master device can be either the remote control or

thermal unit. The other units are connected with control cables and

their operation is synchronized with the master device. The display

of these so called slave units remains switched off. Power needs to

be supplied to each unit individually.

TUC1800/2000-usm. rev.01

WARNING: For proper functioning of chained units, the main switches on

slave devices need to be always in position “0”. Only main switch on master

device should be used to operate all chained units.

Connecting in series with remote control as master device

Connecting in series with TUC1800/TUC2000 unit as the master device

High pressure warning

The thermal unit is protected against extreme conditions that can

cause high refrigerant pressures, such as extremely high ambient

temperatures or dirty/blocked heat exchangers. The triggering of this

protection is indicated by a red control light (3).

If you notice the protection has been triggered, ensure proper

ventilation of thermal unit in the car (check the roof fan function). If

the problem is not solved by setting the unit to proper ambient

temperatures (-20°C to +40°C), the heat exchanger can be dirty or

blocked –please contact your local dealer for service.
