Cool Components Advanced Ventilation Controller (TC-AVC) — Specifications

Product specification sheet for the Cool Components Advanced Ventilation Controller (TC-AVC) — a programmable thermostat used to control high and low voltage fans, typically for ventilation of closets or enclosures with remote fans.

Overview

The TC-AVC can be hardwired to control most high-voltage fans, such as the Cool Components VS-IDF Inline Duct Fan or the VS-RSC Remote System Cooler. It controls low-voltage fans by hardwiring into an electrical outlet and plugging the fan's power adapter into that outlet.

The controller lets users select set points for turning fans and alarms on, is wall- and rack-mountable, and features a backlit LCD display showing ambient temperature. An optional 20-foot remote sensor is available for added versatility — useful for sensing/controlling temperature in a projector enclosure, rack, or other remote location.

Relay Configuration

The controller has 2 primary relays for fan and alarm functions, plus 3 additional relays for advanced functionality:

• Relay 1 (primary): turns on at the user-defined setpoint
• Relay 2: activates 6°F above the primary setpoint
• Relay 3: activates 15°F above the primary setpoint
• Relays 4 & 5 (alarms): can sound an audible alarm or power emergency fans to protect against catastrophic failure

Example: attach primary fans to relay #1, secondary fans to relay #2, and additional venting fans to relay #3, scaling airflow as temperature rises.

Features

• Backlit LCD display shows temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius
• Universally controls most high-voltage fans
• Can be wired to an outlet to control low-voltage fans
• Programmable set points for fan-on and alarm
• Multiple relays for advanced features — additional fan units can turn on at higher temperatures
• Wall unit mounts in a 1-gang box turned horizontally
• Aesthetically pleasing — looks like an HVAC thermostat
• Wall and rack versions available
• 110/220V AC versions available
• ETL Listed and CE marked

Typical Applications

• Closet venting: control a high- or low-voltage fan unit hardwired or via outlet to ventilate a closet
• Projector venting: use the remote sensor wire to monitor and control temperature inside a projector enclosure separately from the controller location
• Equipment rack venting: tier multiple relay-driven fan banks to scale cooling with rack temperature

This is a high-voltage product — contract a licensed electrician for safe, proper installation per local building and electrical codes. All relays and outputs are high voltage; do NOT connect low-voltage devices directly to the unit, which will result in catastrophic equipment damage and personal injury.
