3.0 INSTALLATION
This section discusses mounting and wiring
of the TCS22 into the building. Also included is an 
installation checklist to be completed by the 
installing contractor. See installation instructions 
supplied with the Bard Wall-Mount air 
conditioners for information on installing the air 
conditioners. 
This controller should be installed and
serviced by a qualified service technician only.
3.1 Mounting
 
TCS22 should be mounted on a flat vertical 
surface four (4) to six (6) feet from the floor of the 
building. When choosing a suitable location take 
into consideration that the electrical connections 
can be made from the back or top of the TCS22. 
See Figure 3 for rear electrical entrance locations. 
The TCS22 is secured to the wall with
four (4) - 1/4 inch fasteners with flat washers. 
Hollow wall anchors or lag bolts are suitable as 
dictated by the wall construction. See Figure 3 for 
a bolt pattern layout drawing. 
 
 
 
 
 
3.2 Wiring
 
 Electrical connections can be made from 
the back or top of the TCS22. All wiring should 
exit the TCS22 in conduit. Use the supplied wire 
ties and cable holders to route unit low voltage, 
communication, and sensor wiring neatly. Avoid 
looping excess wire. See Figure 2 for suggested 
conduit connections. 
 
Never connect or disconnect wiring from the 
controller with power connected to the controller 
or to either of the Bard Wall-Mount
air-
conditioners.
3.2.1 HIGH VOLTAGE WIRING 
 
IMPORTANT: High voltage wiring must
not be run in the same conduit as low voltage 
control or sensor wiring. Failure to comply with 
this requirement will result in poor or no remote 
communication and/or in inaccurate sensor 
reading. 
Supply power is 208/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz,
1 Phase at 3 amps minimum circuit ampacity. A 3 
amp circuit breaker is supplied as part of the 
TCS22. This circuit breaker is for internal circuit 
protection only and cannot be used as a disconnect. 
Supply wire size should be 18 ga. or larger. Use 
Copper Conductors Only. All wiring must comply 
with the applicable sections of the National 
Electrical Code ( NEC) and any applicable local 
codes. 
The TCS22 is shipped for 240 VAC
operation . For 208 Volt operation change both 
transformer primaries in the TCS22 to the 208 volt 
tap. See Wiring Diagram. The acceptable operating 
voltage ranges for the 240 and 208 volt taps are: 
 
Tap 
Range
 
240 
253-216
208
220-187
Connect the high voltage power supply to 
Terminal Block TB2. Connect ground wire to the 
ground connector provided. TCS22 must be 
grounded for proper operation. Failure to ground 
the controller may cause erratic controller 
operation and inaccurate sensor operation. See 
Figure 2 and the wiring diagram.
