Careful adherence to the following precautions will help ensure proper product installation and long-
term performance, reliability and safety.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS MAY VOID PRODUCT WARRANTY.
General Precautions
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Disconnect breaker before servicing or installing
this product!
APPLY ONLY PROPER LINE VOLTAGE TO THE TC-1:
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that only the correct line voltage is applied to
the power supply input of the TC-1. Applying improper line voltage may destroy the
product, endanger the safety of the operator and void the product warranty.
The input voltage specification can be found on a label affixed to the top of the internal
power transform (T1) on the TC-1 power supply. DO NOT CONNECT POWER to the
product IF THIS LABEL IS MISSING!
· For label reading “120VAC 60Hz”, connect controller power supply input to:
120VAC 50/60Hz single phase power distribution system.
· For label reading “24VAC 60Hz”, connect TC-1 power supply input to:
24VAC 50/60Hz low voltage power distribution system.
The disconnect for this product must be via breaker which disconnects the line
conductor. The installer of this equipment is responsible for provisioning the
disconnect device, which shall not exceed 20 Amps over current protection.
DO NOT DRILL any new holes or enlarge existing holes in the TC-1 controller
USE ONLY 16-18 AWG WIRE wire unless otherwise specified
HAND TIGHTEN ONLY all screws and fasteners on the TC-1 controller
USE ONLY WATER-TIGHT CONDUIT FITTINGS AND HOLE PLUGS with this
product
ATTACH ONLY FLEXIBLE CONDUIT to TC-1 controller
