Product Overview
The TAC-3000 Control Panel Offers Three Convenient Modes Of Operation – Program, Automatic and Manual.
The CaptiveAire TAC-3000 is user friendly, programmed via the four line, liquid crystal display allowing the operator to program “ON” and “OFF” times for supply and exhaust fans. Up to five wash zones and select fan operation during fire can be selected. Standard features provide control of the shunt trip breaker, the building alarm system, and an optional electric gas valve control. Door mounted indicator lights show the status of supply and exhaust fans, fire condition, water valve and AC power.
A key switch is used to select the “Program”, “Automatic”, or “Manual” mode and denies access to unauthorized users. The touch pad is water proof, providing exceptional durability and longevity. When a function is selected, a tone is generated to provide feedback while programming.
TAC-3000 Specifications
Program Mode In the program mode all functions can be programmed by the operator. The program menu consists of the following control lines:
• Set Date and Time: allows the operator to change the date and time.
• Fan Cycle: sets multiple “ON” and “OFF” times per day for the connected exhaust/supply fans.
• Wash Cycle: sets multiple “ON” and “OFF” times per day for each zone independently.
• Wash Duration: sets length of each wash.
• Soak Duration: sets length of each soak.
• Rinse Duration: sets length of each rinse.
• AUX 1: sets multiple “ON and “OFF” times per day for user defined item.
• AUX 2: sets multiple “ON” and “OFF” times per day for user defined item.
• AUX 3: sets multiple “ON” and “OFF” times per day for user defined item.
• Fire Condition: operator selects which fans are “ON” or “OFF” in a fire condition.
• Holiday: operator specifies up to 12 holidays during which the system will not run the programmed schedule.
Automatic Mode In Automatic Mode the system runs the programming and the screen displays the date, time and status of the system.
Manual Mode Manual Mode is used to override programming and give the operator immediate control of the system. The operator controls the system through an on-screen menu which prompts the user to toggle the fans “ON” and “OFF”, “Start”, “Pause” or “Stop” each of the five wash zones, and toggle the auxiliary outputs “ON” and “OFF”.
Battery Back-Up The system is battery backed-up to prevent false alarms. The program is backed-up with an internal battery which will hold the program indefinitely upon loss of AC and DC power.
Fire Condition: The fire trip signal is triggered through the fire suppression system microswitch or the thermo switch located in the hood duct collar. If the fire system discharges or the thermo switch opens the TAC-3000 will be sent into a fire condition. A red fire light will illuminate on the front panel, the panel mounted alarm will sound, and the display will indicate fire. The TAC-3000 will set the fans to the programmed state, open water valves for all zones, trip the shunt trip breaker, shut off the gas valve, and signal the building alarm system. Once the signal is restored, the TAC-3000 is reset by pressing any one of the five keys.
Manual Fire Mode Switch Switch is normally in the OFF (down) position. It is placed in the ON position only when the front LCD display board fails in order to manually select the Fire Condition settings.
Maintenance & Upgrade The TAC-3000 is easy to maintain. In the unlikely event a relay needs servicing, it can easily be removed and replaced. Likewise, both circuit boards are equipped with quick disconnect plugs for easy removal and replacement – simply unplug the faulty board and plug in the new board. Each TAC-3000 is custom designed and built for individual applications. However, an additional zone control or another option can be added by simply installing a control relay in the field. There is no need to replace the panel – it is easy to upgrade. In addition all relays have built-in indicator lights for status and diagnosis of problems.
