We suggest carrying out the control unit LED test regularly. For this operation, press the TEST key briefly; all the displays turn on for 2 seconds. If one of the LEDS does not work, please return the control unit to TECSYSTEM for repair. ALARM RELAY TEST This function allows you to carry out a test of the relay operation without having to use further devices.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS NT538 ETH Pt100 sensors (white-red-red) Relays (FAN2-FAN1-ALARM-TRIP-FAULT) Supply 85-260Vac-dc 50/60Hz. RJ45 Ethernet output, Link-Activity LED, see indication on page 30. Note: relay contact image in non-alarm condition, with the exception of the FAULT relay that switches: contacts 11- 12 open (NO) contacts 11-12 closed (NC) fault condition identification.
POWER SUPPLY The NT538 ETH control unit can be supplied by 85 to 260 Vac-Vdc, 50/60 Hz irrespectively of polarity in Vdc (terminals 40-42). This is obtained thanks to the use of a tested power supply unit, newly designed and manufactured, that frees installers from worrying about the correct Vac and Vdc supply.
PROGRAMMING NT538 ETH STEP PRESS EFFECT PRESS NOTES Keep the PRG key pressed until the display shows PRG Select PRG SET for entering in the programming mode or PRG 1 default value PRG 1 to restore the default programmed value.
We recommend you check the unit's programming before starting the device. The default parameters set by TECSYSTEM might not match your requirements. Programming the device is the end user's responsibility, the settings of the alarm thresholds and the enabling of the functions described in this manual must be checked (by a specialized engineer) according to the application and features of the system the control unit is installed on.
/ electrical fault of the Pt100 sensors c) damage to the Pt100 inputs of the control unit. TECSYSTEM S.r.l. has designed its own special cable to transfer the measurement signals, CEI-compliant, with all the protection requirements provided for: model CT-ES NOTE: the use of cables not complying with the above might cause reading anomalies.
VOTING (see below) or FCD (see page 31) according to the conditions of the system. CAL message display: it appears when damage is found in the measurement circuit. The temperature values displayed might be incorrect. Return the control unit to TECSYSTEM for repairs. VOTING FUNCTION The voting function is derived from the concept of redundancy which consists of the duplication of components of a system with the intention of increasing reliability.
(programmed parameter display) and modified in PRG (programming) mode. COOLING FAN CONTROL The unit NT538 ETH has two contacts FAN (FAN1 and FAN2), if properly programmed, can control ON-OFF of fans for cooling system checked. The high flexibility of the NT538 ETH allows you to select, for each channel, an operation mode for contact management of FAN1 and FAN2.
The ETH module is always in slave mode. The NT538 ETH control unit is in communication with the network only when it is in temperature reading mode, while it is inactive when in the following modes: display, programming and relay test.
If WRITE data must always respect the rule T_trip> T_alarm and FAN_ON> FAN_OFF. In case you try to set these thresholds incorrectly, the control unit NT538 ETH will not proceed with the programming and storage of data, therefore in subsequent readings will read the data from the previous schedule.
