Cooling Tower Control – T775B2040
Application Description
The T775B2040 is controlling a cooling tower fan, based on 
two sensor inputs, to control the low and high fan speeds and 
provide cold weather shutdown.
NOTE: T775R2001 reset model can also be used in this 
application.
Sensor Designation
This device application requires two sensors:
• Sensor A is sensing the sump temperature.
• Sensor B is sensing the outside air temperature.
Operation
As the sump temperature increases, the low fan speed is 
energized by Relay 1. On further increase in temperature, 
Relay 2 closes, which energizes the high fan speed and shuts 
off the low fan speed. Relay 3 provides cold weather 
shutdown of the fan. Relay 3 is wired in series with the 
common wire of relays 1 and 2, so when Relay 3 breaks at 
55° F (13° C), power to the fan is interrupted.
Programming Example
Optional: In Setup, label sensors A and B as desired.
Relay 1: Control to the fan low speed based on the sump 
temperature.
Program for: 
— Setpoint = 65° F (18° C)
— Differential =5° F (12° C)
—Cool
— Sensor A
Relay 2: Control to the fan high speed based on the sump 
temperature
Program for: 
— Setpoint = 70° F (21° C)
— Differential = 5° F (12° C)
—Cool
— Sensor A
Relay 3: Control to the fan cutoff based on the outside air 
temperature
Program for: 
— Setpoint = 55° F (13° C)
— Differential = 1° F (12° C)
—Cool
— Sensor B
IMPORTANT
After the desired value is selected, be sure to press 
the  or  or HOME button in order to save that 
value in the controller’s memory.
IMPORTANT
By programming the Relay 3 setpoint at 55° F (13° 
C), the T775 is wired to cutoff power to the cooling 
fan. Once the outside air temperature rises above 
55° F (13° C), relays 1 and 2 control the fan speed 
based on their setpoints for Sensor A Sump.
Wiring
All output relays should have a common power wiring source, 
which may or may not be the same as the T775 power wiring.

Device Checkout
The T775B performance can be checked out to determine if 
proper operation exists. 
For example, when the outside air temperature is at 55° F 
(13° C) or less, the fan should be off. Use the alternate Home 
screens to verify that the fan is on or off, based on the outside 
air temperature (Sensor B).
NOTE: The alternate Home screens do not show live 
updates of the sensor temperature. They show the 
temperature only at the moment the button is 
pressed.
1. From the Home screen, use the  button to verify 
the setpoint temperature for Relay 3.
2. Then, press the HOME button to view the actual 
outside air temperature (Sensor B).
