OPERATION

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

• The LCD provides a constant readout of the sensor temperature and indicates if either of the two output relays is energized. When the S1 annunciator is constantly illuminated during operation, the Stage 1 relay is energized.
• Likewise, when the S2 annunciator is constantly illuminated during operation, the Stage 2 relay is energized. The display is also used with the keypad to allow the user to adjust the setpoint temperatures, differentials and heating/cooling modes for each stage.

Backlight

• When any of the 3 mode keys are pressed, the backlight is activated and the ETC is in control mode. Press the SET key to begin program mode.

Control Setup

• The temperature setpoint refers to the temperature at which the normally open (NO) contacts of the output relay will open. Determine the loads to be controlled and the operating modes required for each stage, cooling or heating.
• When the cooling mode is chosen, the differential is above the set point. The relay will de-energize as the temperature falls to the set point.
• Anti-short Cycle Compressor Delay for cooling. After a relay de-energizes, the ETC will prevent the relay from turning on until a configurable time has occurred to protect the compressor.
• When the heating mode is chosen, the differential is below the set point. The relay will de-energize as the temperature rises to the set point.
• The ETC two-stage control can be set up for two stages of heating, two stages of cooling or one stage of cooling plus one stage of heating. Refer to Figures 1, 2 and 3 for a visual representation of different control setups.

TROUBLESHOOTING ERROR MESSAGES

Display Messages

• E1 Appears when either the up or down key is pressed when not in the programming mode. To correct: If the E1 message appears even when no keys are being pressed, replace the control.
• E2 Appears if the control settings are not properly stored in memory. To correct: Check all settings and correct if necessary.
• EP Appears when the probe is open, shorted or sensing a temperature that is out of range. To correct: Check to see if the sensed temperature is out of range. If not, check for probe damage by comparing it to a known ambient temperature between -30°F and 220°F. Replace the probe if necessary.
• EE Appears if the EEPROM data has been corrupted.
• To correct: This condition cannot be field repaired. Replace the control.
• CL Appears if calibration mode has been entered. To correct: Remove power to the control for at least five seconds. Reapply power. If the CL message still appears, replace the control.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

• Electrical Shock Hazard – Turn off power at the main power source before installing the ETC control. DO NOT restore electrical power to the unit until the ETC control is properly installed and the cover is assembled.
• Fire Hazard – DO NOT locate the ETC control in an explosive atmosphere as a fire could result due to possible spark generation in the control.
• All ETC Controls are designed as temperature controls and are not used as temperature limit controls.
• Where failure or malfunction of the ETC control could cause personal injury or property damage, other devices (limit or safety controls) or systems (alarm or supervisory) intended to warn or protect against failure or malfunction of the ETC control must be installed.

CAUTION

• Read all of the information in these instructions before installing or operating the ETC control.
• The schematic drawings and other information included in these installation instructions are for illustration and general reference only.

• It is the responsibility of the installer and the user to ensure that the application and use of the ETC control comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations and ordinances, including, without any limitation, all requirements imposed under the National Electric Code and any applicable building codes.

CONTROL MOUNTING

• Mount the ETC to a wall or any flat surface using a combination of any two or more of the holes located on the back case flanges.
• The control’s components are not position-sensitive but should be mounted so that they can be easily wired and adjusted. Avoid excessive conditions of moisture, dirt, dust and corrosive atmosphere during installation. The ETC NEMA Type 4X control has provisions for a 1/2-inch conduit connection. The conduit hub should be secured to the conduit before securing the hub to the plastic housing of the control. Caution should be exercised not to damage the control circuit board or wiring when installing a conduit connector.
• Installation of ETC NEMA Type 4X controls must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code and Canadian Standards Association. Conduit fittings must be listed by Underwriters Laboratories and Canadian Standards Association as ”Liquid-
• Tight” when installed to the manufacturer’s specifications.

ANTI-SHORT CYCLE COMPRESSOR DELAY

• When the unit is configured for cooling and there is a call for cooling, the relay will not activate until the Anti-short Cycle Compressor
• Delay is satisfied. During an Anti-short Cycle Compressor Delay, the temperature will alternate with Cd to indicate the Relay On is delayed.
• If Relay 1 is in an Anti-short Cycle Compressor Delay, the temperature will alternate with a Cd or S1 icon. If Relay 2 is in Anti-short Cycle Compressor Delay mode, the temperature will alternate with a Cd or S2 icon.

CONTROL WIRING

General

• All wiring should conform to the National Electric Code and local regulations.
• The total electrical load must not exceed the maximum rating of the control (see Specifications).
• Use copper conductors only.
• Electrical leads should not be taut; allow slack for temperature change and vibration.

Input and Output Wiring

• For typical wiring diagrams, refer to Figures 6, 7 and 8. All connections are made to the power (lower) circuit board.

FIELD REPAIRS

• Field calibrating or repairs to the ETC control must not be attempted. Sensors and replacement controls are available through Ranco wholesalers.

SENSOR MOUNTING

• For space sensing, mount the sensor where it will be unaffected by heat/cool discharge or radiated heat sources. Spot sensing requires the sensor to be in good contact with the surface being sensed.
• The sensor can be inserted in a bulb well for immersion sensing.

EXTENDING SENSOR

• CAUTION: Sensor wiring splices may be made external from the control.
• CAUTION: Disconnect power to the control before wiring to avoid possible electrical shock or damage to the controller.
• The additional cable can be spliced to the sensor cable to increase the length beyond the standard 8 feet. It can be extended up to 400 feet.
• The cable should be at least 22 AWG or larger to keep additional resistance to a minimum.
• All splices and wire lengths added to the sensor cable should be made according to acceptable wiring practices and should conform to the
• National Electrical Code and local regulations. Use copper conductors only. Shielded cable is not required. The sensor is not polarity-sensitive.

Checkout Procedure

1. Before applying power, make sure the installation and wiring connections are correct.
2. Apply power to the control and observe one or more cycles of operation.
3. If performance indicates a problem, check sensor resistance to determine if the sensor or control is at fault.
4. To check sensor resistance, disconnect the sensor and measure the resistance across the leads while measuring the temperature at the sensor.
