INSTALLATION DATA
ETC TWO STAGE
ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE
CONTROL - NEMA TYPE 4X
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Ranco ETC is a microprocessor
based electronic temperature control
designed to provide on/o control for
commercial heang, venlang, air
condioning and refrigeraon. The
ETC is equipped with a liquid crystal
display (LCD) that provides a constant
readout of the sensed temperature, and
a touch keypad that allows the user to
easily and accurately select the setpoint
temperature, dierenal and heang/
cooling mode of operaon. The ETC
NEMA Type 4X control can accept either
120 or 208/240V AC or low voltage
(24V AC) input power.
APPLICATIONS
All ETC NEMA Type 4X controls have
enclosures rated waterght for outdoor
use. With its wide temperature setpoint
range and selectable heang and cooling
modes, the ETC can be used for a wide
variety of applicaons including bulk milk
coolers, refrigerated storage, cooling
towers, unit heaters, venlaon fan
cycling, trace heang and many other applicaons where two stages
of heang or cooling are called for. In addion, the ETC NEMA Type
4X control is designed to meet the requirements of Arcle 547 of the
Naonal Electric Code for use in agricultural buildings such as poultry
houses and livestock barns.
FEATURES
• Wide setpoint temperature range (-30°F to 220°F) and dierenal
adjustment (1°F to 30°F)
• Simple keypad programming of setpoint temperature, dierenal and
cooling/heang modes
• Two individually programmable stages for heang and/or cooling
• LCD display readout of sensor temperature, control sengs, relay
status and onboard diagnoscs
• LED (Light Eming Diode) backlight to improve visibility of the display
in low light ambient applicaons.
• IP67 rated (water and dust resistant) thermistor-based probe to
remotely monitor temperature
• The sensor probe can be retroed in the eld by the use of factory
installed interconnect
• Remote temperature sensing up to 400 feet
• Two SPDT output relays
• User-selectable Fahrenheit/Celsius scales
• Lockout switch to prevent tampering by unauthorized personnel
• NEMA Type 4X enclosure rated waterght for outdoor applicaon
• Designed to meet Arcle 547 of the Naonal Electrical Code for use
in agricultural buildings
• An-short Cycle Compressor Delay for cooling applicaons

OPERATION
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
The LCD display provides a constant readout of the sensor temperature
and indicates if either of the two output relays is energized. When the
S1 annunciator is constantly illuminated during operaon, the Stage 1
relay is energized. Likewise, when the S2 annunciator is constantly
illuminated during operaon, the Stage 2 relay is energized. The display
is also used with the keypad to allow the user to adjust the setpoint
temperatures, dierenals and heang/cooling modes for each stage.
Backlight
When any of the 3 mode keys are pressed, the backlight is acvated
and the ETC is in control mode. Press the SET key to begin program
mode.
Control Setup
The temperature setpoint refers to the temperature at which the
normally open (NO) contacts of the output relay will open. Determine
the loads to be controlled and the operang modes required for each
stage, cooling or heang.
• When the cooling mode is chosen, the dierenal is above the set
point. The relay will de-energize as the temperature falls to the setpoint.
• An-short Cycle Compressor Delay for cooling. Aer a relay
de-energizes, the ETC will prevent the relay from turning on unl a
congurable me has occurred to protect compressor.
• When the heang mode is chosen, the dierenal is below the set
point. The relay will de-energize as the temperature rises to the setpoint.
The ETC two stage control can be set up for two stages of heang,
two stages of cooling or one stage cooling plus one stage heang.
Refer to Figures 1, 2 and 3 for a visual representaons of dierent
control setups.
