TRL54 Digital Room Sensor

TDU00 / TDU30 / TDU60 Series Digital Room Sensor

The menu overviews and options are the same for both TRL54 and TDU digital room sensors. However, the action button or the button used to access the menus and save changes is different in the digital room sensors. Use the following menu overviews with the appropriate action button as per your digital room sensor.

Action Buttons on Digital Room Sensor

Note: Prior to going into Programming Mode, remove the connection cable between the EVCB and the TRL/TDU and set the Mode Selection jumper (JP1) to PGM on the digital room sensor. Reestablish the connection in order to access the programming menus and to make any changes. Once all menu changes have been made, remove the connection cable again before setting jumper JP1 back to RUN, and then reconnect the cable to resume normal operation.

Operation Menus

This menu is accessible through normal operation mode. The Mode Selector jumper (JP1) of the digital room sensor must be set to the “RUN” position (Operation Mode). Refer to Wiring on page 10.
Note: Since the action buttons are different on TRL and TDU digital room sensor series, both buttons have been included in the instructions. Refer to the Action Buttons on Digital Room Sensor section to know and use the button as available on your digital room sensor.

1.  Press the [ uttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. The “ ” screen appears.
2. Enter the password within 1 minute by using the arrow keys to increase or decrease the value and the buttons to toggle between the digits.
   • Password 372 = Temperature Offset Menu
   • Password 637 = Network Settings Menu
   • Password 757 = Airflow Balance Mode
3. If you enter the wrong password, the digital room sensor displays “Eror” and returns to Operation Mode. The digital room  sensor will return to normal mode if you navigate through the entire menu and do not make any selection, or if you do not press any key for 5 minutes. The changed values will be saved automatically.

Menu 372 – Temperature Offset

1. Compare the displayed temperature reading with a known value from a thermometer. To offset or calibrate the sensor, use the arrows key to set the desired temperature reading. This is useful for digital room sensors installed in areas where the temperature read is slightly different than the room’s actual temperature. For example, a digital room sensor placed right under the air diffuser.
   If the digital room sensor is set to use an external temperature sensor (EtS), the digital room sensor displays “OFF”.

2. This option appears if you’ve set one of the analog inputs to EtS (External temperature sensor). When the digital room sensor is connected to the appropriate analog input, the display shows the temperature read by the external temperature sensor. Adjust the offset by comparing it with a known value (e.g. thermometer). If the sensor is not connected or short circuited, then the unit displays the sensor’s limit.

3. Displays the voltage output value in mV of the pressure sensor. Does not appear for EVCB14NDT4S and EVCB14NDT4X (pressure dependant) models.

4. This setting represents the deadband of the pressure sensor in mV. For advanced users or special applications only. We recommend that you use the default setting of 60mV. Does not appear for EVCB14NDT4S and EVCB14NDT4X (pressure dependant) models.

Menu 637 – Network Settings

Menu 757 – Airflow Balance Mode
Pressure Independent: models EVCB14NIT0S, EVCB14NIT2S, EVCB14NIT4X and EVCB14NIT4S

Note: Refer to EVCB-Airflow Balance Instructions on Neptronic website for further information on the airflow balancing function.
Pressure Dependent: models EVCB14NDT4S, EVCB14NDT4X or other models if in pressure-dependent mode

Reset to Factory Default Settings

This will erase all actual configurations and replace them with the factory default settings.

1. The Mode Selector jumper (JP1) of the digital room sensor must be set to the “RUN” position (Operation Mode). Refer to Wiring on page 10.
2. During the power up sequence of the controller and digital room sensor, press and hold both the and buttons.
3. The “ ” screen appears. Enter 372 within 1 minute by using the arrow keys to increase or decrease the value and the and buttons to toggle between the digits.
4.  Use the arrow buttons to select YES and then press [ / ].

Operation Mode
The Mode Selector Jumper (JP1) of the digital room sensor must be set to the “RUN” position (Operation Mode). Refer to Wiring on page 10.

TDU00 / TDU30 / TDU60 Series

Power Up
Upon power up, the LCD illuminates and all segments appear for 2 seconds. The digital room sensor then displays its current version of the digital room sensor for 2 seconds followed by the current version of the controller for 2 seconds. Pressing any key on the digital room sensor illuminates the LCD for 4 seconds.
CO2 (Digital Room Sensors with CO2)
If enabled via the configuration menu, the digital room sensor displays the CO2 reading on the first line above the temperature reading. If CO2 display is enabled, the time will not be displayed.

Temperature Display and Setpoint
If enabled in the “Display Info” menu (see Settings – Menu Overview (5 of 6) on page 17), the digital room sensor displays the temperature reading. If the sensor is disconnected or short circuited, then the unit displays the sensor’s limit. To toggle the temperature scale between ºC and ºF, press the button. To display the setpoint, press the or key twice. The setpoint appears for 5 seconds. To adjust the setpoint, press the arrow keys while the temperature is displayed. If the setpoint adjustment
has been locked “Setpnt Locked”, the lock symbol appears.

Humidity
If enabled in the “Options” menu (see Settings – Menu Overview (6 of 6) on page), the digital room sensor displays the temperature reading for 8 seconds and then displays the humidity reading for 2 seconds. If the sensor is disconnected or short circuited, then the unit displays the sensor’s limit.

Air Flow and Air Supply Temperature

Press and hold the [ / ] button for 5 seconds and use the arrow keys to view the “  and “ ”. After 5 seconds without any action, the digital room sensor returns to operation mode.
The air supply temperature appears only if analog input AI1 or AI2 are configured with the AST option. Not available on the following pressure dependent model EVCB14NDT4S.

Control Mode
To access the Control Mode, press the [ / ] button. The Control Mode appears for 5 seconds. Press the [ / ] button to scroll through the following control modes. These options can vary depending on the options selected in “Temp Control Mode” and “Enable OnOff Control Mode”.

• Auto (Automatic Cooling or Heating)
• OFF (if it is not disabled in Programming Mode)
• Cooling only (on, with cooling symbol)
• Heating only (on, with heating symbol)

Night Set Back (NSB) or Occupancy Mode
This function is only available if you set DI1 to nSb (Night set back contact) or Occ (occupancy mode). If the DI1 contact is triggered, the digital room sensor enters NSB or No Occupancy Mode (the symbol appears) and uses the NSB or OCC heating and cooling setpoints.

If not locked, you can override the night set back or no occupancy mode for a predetermined period by pressing any of the 4 buttons. During the override period the symbol will flash. If the symbol does not flash, the override period is finished or the night set back or no occupancy override has been locked in programming mode.

Set Time and Date

1. Ensure that JP1 on the digital room sensor is set to run.
2. Press and hold the button for 5 seconds.
3. Use the arrow keys to set the desired value. Press the [ / ] button to save and got to the next step. Press the button to go to the previous step without saving.

Note: Time will only be displayed on the TDU when the Bacnet scheduler is active. In order to achieve this, set the proper BACnet Object present value to Yes (1): EVCB BV.70 – Cfg_ActiveSchedule.
