Royal Series Water Temperature Control Units
TCU systems provide temperature control on processes by
directly heating the process water and injecting cooling water 
into the process water. 
When the unit is energized, the pump starts and a one minute
vent sequence opens the cooling/vent valve to remove any air 
trapped in the process piping. 
If the cooling water supply pressure is insufficient, the low
cooling water pressure cutout switch (set at 16 psig, 10 psig 
differential [110.32 kPa/1.10 bars, 68.95 kPa/0.69 bars 
differential]) opens, the 
LOW WATER PRESSURE
indicator
lights, and the unit does not operate until the pressure is 16 psig 
(110.32 kPa/1.10 bars) or more. You need at least 16 psig 
(110.32 kPa/1.10 bars) for the best cooling capacity and to 
prevent water boiling in the process circuit at high 
temperatures, particularly at the pump suction. 
After venting, the microprocessor controller monitors the
TO
PROCESS
RTD probe, cycling open the cooling/vent valve to
discharge warm water or energizing the immersion heater to 
maintain the process set temperature. 
5-5 Checking Motor Rotation Direction
Check for correct pump rotation direction by looking at the top of 
the motor. Press the 
START
button and the
STOP
button, and note
the direction that the motor turns. Rotation should be clockwise 
when viewed from the motor end. 
Note: Make sure that a qualified electrician performs the
following steps.
To change rotation direction:
1.
Disconnect and lock out power at the fused disconnect.
2.
Reverse any two incoming leads at the power terminal 
blocks. 
3.
Do not switch leads at the motor or motor starters.
5-6 Shutting Down the Temperature Control Unit
Cool the unit down by selecting a set point of zero (
0
). Let the
unit stabilize at one temperature close to the incoming water 
temperature, then press the 
STOP
button. Now press the
VENT
button to relieve any remaining pressure in the system.
