General Description
The TCY3 is a stand-alone electronic universal controller with two autonomous control loops. Each control loop may use up
to 2 PID sequences and 6 binary sequences. The TCY3-T0121R features 1 NTC temperature sensor and 1 analog input, 2
binary outputs and one analog output. The outputs need to be assigned to the control sequences by parameters. A
detailed configuration is possible by following a simple setup routine. The TCY3 can be configured using the standard
operation terminal. No special tool or software is required.

Selection of actuators and sensors
Temperature Sensors:
Use only our approved NTC sensors to achieve maximum accuracy. Recommended is SDB-Tn10-20 as Duct sensor, SRA-
Tn10 as Room sensor and SDB-Tn10-20 with AMI-S10 as immersion sensor.
Modulating Actuators:
Choose actuators with an input signal type of 0-10 V DC or 4-20 mA. Minimum and maximum signal limitations may be
set in software.
Floating Actuators:
Actuators with constant running time are recommended. Observe power limits on binary devices.
Binary auxiliary devices:
E.g. pumps, fans, on/off valves, humidifiers, etc. Do not directly connect devices that exceed 48 VAC, 2(1.2) A. Observe
startup current on inductive loads.
