The permissible ambient temperature range and humidity range must not be exceeded (see Technical data, chapter 8). The controller is enclosed in a plastic box comprising four parts: Transparent cover Electronic part Backplate with terminal block Metal Brace The backplate must be removed from the electronic part in order to gain access to the terminal blocks. There is a modular jack on the electronic part for connecting the information tool Inta2000.! WARNING! Check that the terminal blocks are not connected to the mains before removing the backplate. TAC AB, 1999-08-01 0-004-7459-3 (GB), 5:1(10)
Installation Procedure for removing the backplate: 1. Remove the metal brace by unscrewing the fastening device. 2. Press in the two round buttons on the sides of the controller. 3. Hold the buttons in while carefully pulling the electronic part out of the back. Fastening device The controller can be mounted in three different ways: On a norm rail EN 500 22 (TS 35 mm) In a panel, with or without a backplate Directly on a wall Procedure for mounting controller on a norm rail: 1. Place the backplate of the controller with the metal brace on the upper side of the rail (arrow 1). 2. Turn it downwards until it snaps onto the rail (arrow 2). 3. Press on the electronic part. Secure the controller into the metal brace with the fastening device for panel mounting. 4. To remove, place a screwdriver in the lock on the bottom of the controller and pull down. It is then possible to lift the controller diagonally upwards and off the rail. 5:2(10), 0-004-7459-3 (GB) 1999-08-01, TAC AB
Installation Procedure for mounting controller in a panel: 1. Make an opening in the panel as shown in the adjacent scale drawing. The max. panel thickness is 5 mm. 92 +0,5-0 138 +1-0 2. Remove the backplate from the electronic part (see above). Remove the terminal blocks from the backplate. 3. Place the controller in the panel and lock it in position by tightening the two locking screws. Seal the holes using the two gaskets. It is not necessary to install the metal brace when mounting panel. 4. Attach the terminal blocks to the pin on the back of the controller.

Installation Outdoor temperature sensor, EGU Supply temperature sensor, EGWS, EGA Room temperature sensor, EGRL Return temperature sensor, EGWS, EGA Actuators M5, M15, M42, M44, M500, M750 Mount the sensor to an exterior wall facing north or north-west. Place it approximately 3 m above ground with the cable entry facing down. If several TAC 2000 are to be used in the same building, it may be sufficient to mount only one outdoor temperature sensor. A controller which has no outdoor temperature sensor of its own can then receive outdoor sensor signals from the controller which has one. The immersion sensor EGWS should be mounted in the supply pipe 0.5 1 m after the heat exchanger or the shunt valve. If a strapped-on sensor EGA is used, this should be mounted onto an uninsulated part of the supply pipe. Clean the pipe thoroughly so that the copper sensor plate makes good contact. EGA should not be used on pipes where Ø > 50 mm (2"). The sections of a building which are most affected by changes in climate should be those in which there is most possibility to influence the supply temperature. It is also important to ensure that the sensor is not affected by irrelevant factors. The following should therefore be considered when fitting: Place the sensor in a north-facing apartment which has more than one exterior wall (a corner apartment). Install the sensor in the most representative room. Place the sensor on an interior wall made of a light building material. Avoid stone or concrete. The wall must not be heated by an underlying heater pipe. The room should be of sufficient size for the temperature not to be affected by heat from people or machines. The radiators in the room should not have thermostat valves. If they do, set them to their maximum values. Position the sensor so that air can flow freely around it. Place the reference sensor no more than 10 m from the nearest radiator, but not directly above it. This is particularly important in rooms which do not have mechanical ventilation. The immersion sensor EGWS should be mounted in the return pipe. If a strapped-on sensor EGA is used, this should be mounted to an uninsulated part of the pipe. Clean the pipe thoroughly so that the copper sensor plate makes good contact. Assembly instructions are supplied with the actuators and assembly kits. TAC AB, 1999-08-01 0-004-7459-3 (GB), 5:5(10)
Installation 5.2 Connection All equipment which is connected to the controller must comply with the following standards: EN 60 742 (or other applicable safety standard) for air handlers which provide ELV-type power supply (normally 24 V AC) to the controller and other connected equipment. EN 61 010 or IEC 950 (or other applicable safety standard) for computers, modems and other equipment supplied by 230 V mains. If equipment using 230 V mains is connected to a relay output terminal of the controller, low-voltage equipment connected to other relay terminals of the controller must then have at least basic insulation to all touchable parts. There should be a switch in order to break the power to the controller. It does not have to be a separate switch for the controller, instead it can also cut the supply voltage to the installation. The function of the switch should be marked clearly.! WARNING! All power supply cables should be installed by authorised electricians. Connect the wires to the controller as shown in the circuit diagrams. 5:6(10), 0-004-7459-3 (GB) 1999-08-01, TAC AB
Installation The outdoor temperature signal (Y2) is connected to the input of the outdoor temperature sensor (B2) in the controllers (TAC 2000) which have no outdoor sensor of their own. If the SPC signal is connected from equipment which has a different transformer, the G0s from each transformer must be connected to one another. The controller has 25 cable entries in the back. Ensure that signal cables and mains cables are pulled through separate cable entries in the back and are kept well apart. Tie up the cables together in a bundle quite close to the terminal blocks in order to limit movability. The rail with three screws in the middle of the back is insulated. It can be used as measurement neutral. A connection must then be made between the rail and measurement neutral (M) in the terminal block. TAC AB, 1999-08-01 0-004-7459-3 (GB), 5:7(10)
Installation Cable lengths The following applies when the 24 V transformer is placed by the TAC 2112: The cables to G, G0 and other terminal blocks on TAC 24 V actuators must not exceed 50 m in length, and shall have a minimum crosssectional area of 0,8 mm 2. If the cables exceed 50 m in length, the minimum cross-sectional area is 1,5 mm 2. The same requirements apply for cables connected to KC3, K5 and K6. Cables connected to the terminal blocks KC1, K1, K2, KC2, K3, and K4, must not exceed 100 m in length, and shall have a minimum cross-sectional area of 1,5 mm 2. Cables leading to the controller should be fixed by stapling or as such. Cables connected to terminal block types B, U, and X must not exceed 200 m, and shall have a minimum cross-sectional area of 0,5 mm 2.

Functional Description 7 Functional Description 7.1 Introduction This chapter contains a description of all the functions in the controller. At the end of each section is a list of parameters. How to read off and set these parameters is described in Chapter 3, Using the operator s panel. 7.2 Controller operating modes The controller usually operates in a timed manner, i.e. a weekly program and yearly program determine whether the supply temperature or room temperature should be controlled to a daytime or night setpoint. The controller can also be set to other operating modes by changing the parameter P 00. Timed operation When the controller is set to the timed operation operating mode, the following takes place: The symbol on the left is displayed in the display window. The supply temperature or the room temperature is controlled to the setpoint for daytime or night operation as a function of the weekly program. Holiday period When the controller is in the timed operation operating mode and a holiday period occurs, the following takes place: The symbols on the left are displayed in the display window. The supply temperature or the room temperature is reduced to the setpoint for night setback, independent of the outdoor temperature; that is to say, not the setpoint for variable night setback. TAC AB, 1999-08-01 0-004-7459-3 (GB), 7:1(22)
Functional Description Forced night setback When the controller is in the timed operation operating mode and the input X2 is connected to M (measurement neutral), the following takes place: The symbols on the left are displayed in the display window (the moon flashes). The supply temperature or the room temperature is reduced to the setpoint for night setback. Extended daytime operation When the controller is in the timed operation operating mode and input X1 is connected to M (measurement neutral), the following takes place: The symbols on the left are displayed in the display window (the sun flashes). The supply temperature or room temperature is controlled to the setpoint for daytime operation. Fixed night setback When the controller is in the fixed night setback operating mode, the following takes place: The symbol on the left is displayed in the display window. The supply temperature or room temperature is reduced to the setpoint for night setback. Fixed daytime operation When the controller is in the fixed daytime operation operating mode, the following takes place: The symbol on the left is displayed in the display window. The supply temperature or room temperature is controlled to the setpoint for daytime operation. Heating off (standby) When the controller is in the heating off operating mode, the following takes place: The symbol on the left is displayed in the display window. The setpoint of the supply controller is set to the lowest permissible supply temperature (P 22). The circulation pump stops irrespective of whether pump stop has been selected or not. However, frost protection and pump exercise remain operational. 7:2 (22), 0-004-7459-3 (GB) 1999-08-01, TAC AB
Functional Description Manual control Changing the operating mode Priorities When the controller is in the manual control operating mode, the following takes place: The symbol on the left is displayed in the display window. All relay outputs except for Open heating valve and Close heating valve are activated (the contacts are closed). The analogue outputs remain at the same levels. The outputs can be controlled manually from the operator s panel. The operating mode of the controller can be changed by means of the following functions: The operator s panel, by changing parameter P 00. The input for forced night setback (X2). The input for extended daytime operation (X1). The holiday periods in the yearly program. The operating mode can be changed only by a function which has the same or a higher priority than the function which is the reason for the current operating mode. The priorities of the functions are as follows (1 is the highest priority): 1 Operating modes chosen by use of the operator s panel 2 Input for extended daytime operation 3 Yearly program under timed operation 4 Input for forced night setback 5 Weekly program under timed operation For example: The yearly program cannot affect control if the input for extended daytime operation is on.

Functional Description 7.3.2 Damped outdoor temperature The object of controlling the supply temperature is to maintain the correct room temperature irrespective of the outdoor temperature. The heat storage capacity of the building shell means that a change in the outdoor temperature affects the room temperature only after a certain time. Control takes place according to a damped outdoor temperature in order to utilise effectively the heat storage in the building shell. The controller calculates the value of the damped outdoor temperature every 10 minutes. Temperature Actual Damping level= 6 hours C outdoor 16 temperature Damped 14 outdoor 12 temperature 10 8 6 4 2 0 00:00 12:00 00:00 12:00 00:00 Parameters Damped outdoor temperature This function minimises the utilisation of energy by preventing unnecessary heat demands during the usually cool evening hours before a night setback. The damping level is adjustable so that the controller is able to suit all types of building. P No. Parameter Min. Max.

Functional Description 7.3.3 Reset curve for outdoor compensation The correct amount of heating is supplied to the building throughout the year by allowing the supply temperature to be changed as a function of the damped outdoor temperature. This function is described by the reset curve. The reset curve is made of three adjustable curve points. The outer points are firmly defined by the outdoor temperature, while the break point in the middle of the curve is adjustable.

Functional Description 7.3.4 Automatic adjustment of the reset curve Curve adjustment controller Maximum curve adjustment In systems with reference sensors, the controller can adjust the reset curve automatically. The temperature at the reference sensor is used to continually carry out small corrections (±1 C) to the three points (y0, y1 and y2) of the reset curves. After about a week, the reset curve will have been adapted to suit the appropriate building. The automatic curve adjustment is carried out by an I controller (integrated controller), actual values and setpoints for the room being used as input parameters. The following data apply for the controller: I time: 1 720 minutes Dead zone: 0,5 C The I time corresponds to the time taken, in minutes, for the controller to adjust the reset curve, at a constant control deviation of around 1 C in the room. Example: If the deviation is 2 C, the I time becomes 2 1 min., and so forth. Adjustment of the reset curve has an adjustable limitation known as Maximum curve adjustment. When the equipment is supplied, this is set to ±5 C from the nominal curve. The nominal curve is the curve from which the limitation is calculated. Adjusted curve Nominal curve Maximum curve adjustment = permissible range for automatic curve adjustment Automatic adjustment of the reset curve The nominal curve is determined by the fact that it takes on the values of the adjusted curve. This takes place in the following cases: When the controller is reset (all parameters resume their defaults). Any curve point is adjusted manually. The Maximum curve adjustment parameter is changed. TAC AB, 1999-08-01 0-004-7459-3 (GB), 7:7(22)
Functional Description Criteria for automatic curve adjustment Parameters The following criteria must be met for the automatic curve adjustment to work: A reference sensor is installed. Automatic curve adjustment is on (P 27). The controller is working under timed operation. Daytime operation is on. The pump is working, i.e. there is a heating requirement. The return temperature limitation is not active. P No. Parameter Min. Max.

The setpoint for this controller is calculated on the basis of the following parameters: Operating mode The reset curve for outdoor temperature compensation Room temperature effect, if a reference sensor is fitted Parallel shifting of the reset curve, if no reference sensor is fitted Return temperature limitation Remote setpoint control, SPC adjustment Pump control Night setback Supplement during morning boost 7:8 (22), 0-004-7459-3 (GB) 1999-08-01, TAC AB
Functional Description The following data apply for the supply controller: P band: 10 200 C I time: 2 minutes Dead zone: 1,0 C The supply setpoint is set to Min. supply temperature (P 22) when the pump is stopped in order to ensure that the valve moves into the closed position. Ramp limitation Parameters To prevent increases in the supply temperature which are much too rapid, the supply temperature can be ramp-limited. This means that the setpoint is not allowed to increase as rapidly as possible, but instead it is limited to an adjustable increase rate. This limitation applies only when the setpoint increases. The setpoint can be reduced without limitation. P No. Parameter Min. Max.

The reference sensor should measure the room temperature in the most representative room in the building (see also chapter 5). The signal from the reference sensor represents the actual value to the room controller. The output signal from the controller affects the setpoint for the supply temperature. The controller may have various setpoints and control effects for day and night. The room controller has no effect if no reference sensor is fitted. The room temperature is controlled by a P controller (proportional controller). The setpoint for the controller is calculated on the basis of the following parameters: Commissioned setpoint for day or night Remote setpoint control, SPC adjustment The following data apply to the room controller: Control effect: 0.5 20 Dead zone: 0 5 C TAC AB, 1999-08-01 0-004-7459-3 (GB), 7:9(22)

The magnitude of this limitation is determined by a separate reset curve with the max. return temperature as a function of the damped outdoor temperature. The reset curve is based on two curve points as depicted below. y0 y1 80 70 60 50 40 30 P 46 P 45 P 48 P 47-25 -20-15 -10-5 0 5 10 15 20 25 x0 x1 Damped Reset curve for return temperature limitation Limitation controller The limitation of the return temperature is controlled by a controller using the following data: P band: 10 200 C I time: 3 minutes Dead zone: 1 C The output signal from the controller has an effect on the setpoint for the supply temperature.

Functional Description 7.3.9 Pump control The pump control acts to utilise the heat accumulated in the building as efficiently as possible by allowing the circulation pump to operate only when there is a specific heating requirement. Pump stop The circulation pump is stopped and the setpoint for the supply temperature is set to Min. supply temperature in the following cases: The outdoor temperature exceeds the Outdoor temperature for pump stop limit. The calculated setpoint for the supply temperature is less than the Supply temperature for pump stop limit. The pump stop has a fixed switch-off delay of 5 minutes, i.e. the pump runs for at least 5 minutes every time (does not apply for pump exercise see below). Restarting the pump The circulation pump is restarted with a fixed hysteresis of 1.5 C. The pump can be restarted only after a set time, the Min. pump off time. However, the pump can be started immediately in the event of frost protection if so required (see below) or in operating modes other than timed operation. Pump exercise The pump starts at 12:00 and runs for one minute every Monday in order to prevent pump seizure, for example during the summer months. Frost protection Parameters The pump always starts and the valve is controlled whenever the outdoor temperature is less than +3 C in order to prevent freezing in the heating installation.
