2. Installing
2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Inspect the shipping container for external damage. After unpacking inspect the instrument for any shipping damage. If visible damage exists, a claim should be filled with the carrier. If any thing is missing from your order contact JC CONTROLS.
Included with each JC Controls TC-100 is :
2.2 Thermocouple Tube Installation
Situate the gauge tube in a clean, dry vacuum system. Ideally the open end should point down so as to be self-draining should any vapors condense in it. Thread metal tubes into 1/8" female NPT threads. For best accuracy the tube should outgas in the vacuum system for approximately 24 hours.
2.3 Final Installation
Put the instrument on a stable surface. Install the 3 prong power cord to a 115 VAC single phase outlet. Plug the TC cable into the TC tube. The process control set point relay is rated at 2A at 115. To connect to the relay use the three colored wires on the back panel:
| BLACK Wire | = COMMON |
| GREEN Wire | = N.O. |
| RED Wire | = N.C. |
3 Operation
| 1. Power on/off Switch | 4. Vacuum/Set Point Switch |
| 2. Power Light | 5. Set Point Light |
| 3. Vacuum Display (microns) | 6. Set Point Adjustment Screw |
The TC-100 is activated
by throwing the power switch (Fig. 3-1.1) to the on position. The power
light (Fig. 3-1.2) should light, indicating normal operations. The display
(Fig. 3-1.3) will have only one LED lit, it is a single moving LED in a
bank of thirty. With the vacuum/set point switch in the "TC" position
, the instrument reads the vacuum at the TC tube. By switching to "SP"
, the current set point position is shown on the display. To change the
set point, adjust the set point adjust screw (3.1-6) until the desired level
is shown on the display. The set point light will be on whenever the vacuum
on the TC tube is greater than the value of the set point.
