               ATTENTION:  

 

Read the manual carefully before starting to use the control unit. Keep the instructions for future reference. 
 
  
                Do not open the device, touching any internal components can cause electric shock. Contact with 110-240 Volts 
AC can be fatal. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not dismantle the back of the device for any reason. Moreover its 
opening would void the warranty. B

efore connecting the device to the power supply, make sure that all the 

connections are correct.

 Always disconnect the unit from the supply before any cabling modification. 

                 Any intervention on the equipment must be entrusted to a qualified repair engineer

         Failure to comply with these instructions can cause damages, fires or electric shock, and possible serious injuries! 

 

POWER SUPPLY

 

 

The VRT600 series can be supplied by 230Vac 50/60Hz o a 12Vac –Vcc, depending on the model purchased. 
Before using it, make sure the power cable is not damaged, kinked or pinched. Do not tamper with the power cable. Never 
disconnect the unit by pulling the cable, avoid touching the pins. Do not carry out any connecting/disconnecting with wet 
hands. To disconnect the device, do not use objects such as levers. Immediately disconnect the device if you smell burning 
or see any smoke: contact technical service.  

 

LIQUIDS

 

Do not expose the equipment to splashes or drops, do not position it in places with humidity exceeding 90% and never touch 
with wet or humid hands during storms. If any liquid penetrates the control unit, disconnect it immediately and contact 
technical service. 

 
CLEANING 

Disconnect the power cable before cleaning the control unit, use a dry cloth to dust it, without any solvent or detergents, and 
compressed air. 

 
OBJECTS 

Never insert any objects into the cracks of the control unit. If this happens, disconnect the control unit and  
contact an engineer. 

 
USE RESERVED TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL 

The purchased goods are a sophisticated electronic device that is totally unsuitable to be used by non-qualified personnel. 
Any intervention must be carried out by a specialist engineer. 

 
ACCESSORIES 

The use of non-original accessories or spare parts might damage the unit and endanger users' safety.  In the event of faults, 
contact technical service. 

 
LOCATION 

Install the control unit indoors, in a place protected from water splashes and sun rays. Do not place near heat sources 
exceeding the parameters stated in this manual. Position on a stable surface, far from any possible vibrations. Position the 
unit as far as possible from any intense magnetic fields. 

 
REPAIRS 

Do not open the control unit. For any fault, always use qualified personnel. The opening of the control unit and/or the removal 
of the series identifying label entails the automatic forfeiture of the warranty. The Warranty seal is applied to all devices, any 
attempt to open the unit would break the seal and cause the consequent automatic forfeiture of the warranty.

VRT600 SERIES

 

 

 

POWER SUPPLY

 

 

The VRT600 control unit must be supplied with 230Vac 

±

10% 50/60Hz. The VRT600 - U 

control unit must be supplied with 12 Vac - Vdc 50/60Hz. 

According to the model purchased, check the connection diagrams on pages 9 and 10. 

 

A variation in the network voltage of over 10% might cause alarms because of the current variation in the load. 

 

If the electrical system is affected by harmonic frequencies, alarm warnings might be triggered because of the 
consequent variation in the current absorbed by the motors. 

 

It is good practice to make sure that the level of system harmonics is not such as to cause malfunction or damages to 
all the connected electrical and electronic instruments, in compliance with the regulations in force for the type of 
system. 

 
 

OPERATION

 

 

When switched on, the device carries out a LAMP TEST and is set either in REMOTE or LOCAL mode, according to  
how it was set before being switched off. 

 

In REMOTE mode the fans are activated when contact 52-53 closes, which must be connected to the FAN contact of 
the temperature control unit. 

 

In LOCAL mode the fans are activated by pressing the <START-STOP> button. The status of operation is stored in 
case of power failure. 

 
 
 

HOW TO CHECK THE ALARM STATUS

 

 

 

Running LED OFF: 

no ventilation activation control 

 

Running LED ON: 

REMOTE or LOCAL ventilation activation 

 

Over- and under-current LEDs OFF: 

motor operating correctly 

 

Over-current LED ON: 

motor stopped due to over-current 

 

Under-current LED ON: 

motor working + under-current alarm signal 

 

Under-current LED flashing: 

motor disconnected while auto-tuning 

 

Over-current LED ON: 

motor consumption >5.5A (immediate trip without any delay) 

 

All LEDs flashing: 

corrupted memory error (ech); press reset and repeat the programming procedure 

 

 

N.B.: 

A motor in a state of alarm or the interruption of supply to the device make contacts 8-9 of the FAULT relay close. 

 
 

HOW TO RESET A MOTOR IN ALARM

 

 

To reset an alarm due to under-current or over-current, press the RESET button after carrying out the necessary 
checks and any repairs might be required. 

 
 

OPERATION WITH BAR 400 OR 600 

 

 

The 400 and 600 bars are fitted with low current variation motors in case of a motor block. 

To optimise the operation 

of the VRT600 control unit with these bars, we recommend the alarm threshold is programmed at 5%.

 

 
 
 
 
 

                  IMPORTANT  NOTE:  if  an  existing  control  unit  must  be  replaced  with  a  new  one,  to  guarantee  its 
correct and safe operation, all the connecting terminals must be replaced with the new terminals supplied, on 
condition the brand of the new terminals is different from the one of the previously installed ones.

must be connected as per final configuration. 

At the START the motors are 

switched ON for 60 seconds, the 

CAL LED flashes and LEDs 0-5-10-

20-30 light up in sequence. 

When the calibration is completed, the 

control unit resets and goes  

into REMOTE mode 

 

 

 
N.B.: any connection or programming errors might cause fan malfunctions. 

 

 
 
         ATTENTION:  
 

We recommend you check the control unit before starting the device. 

  

The default parameters set by TECSYSTEM might not suit your requirements.    

  

Programming the device is the end user’s responsibility: the set alarm thresholds and the enabled functions 
described in this manual must be checked (by a specialized technician) referring them to the application and 
system characteristics on which the control unit is installed.
