General Description
The TLC-BCR-T is a stand-alone electronic binary controller with one control loop. The TLC-BCR-T features one internal
and one external NTC temperature sensor input and two binary outputs (Relays).
A detailed parameterization is possible with the use of a simple configuration routine. The TLC-BCR-T can be
configured using the standard operation terminal. No special tools or software is required.

Temperature Sensors: Use only our approved NTC sensors to achieve maximum accuracy. Recommended is SDB-
Tn10-15 as Duct sensor, SRA-Tn10 as Room sensor and SDB-Tn10-15+AMI-10 as immersion sensor.
Binary auxiliary devices: E.g. pumps, fans, on/off valves, etc. Do not directly connect devices that exceed 2(1.2)A.
