Control Options Open Thermocouple Detection: Drives channel reading high.
Each TDXM model features three outputs: 2 Field Effect Transistor (FET) outputs and
1 Form-C Relay output. Each channel has 3 setpoints, one for each of the outputs. This
allows for greater system flexibility by grouping sets of channels through one output.
Setpoint History
The TDXM stores the last setpoint trip for each output in non-volatile memory.
For instance, if SP1 of channel 1 was the last SP1 tripped, the LCD display will
read: SP1 1 when the Setpoint History is accessed for SP1. NOTE: ANSI MCQ6.1 states limits of error for thermocouples. Type “J” 0 - 750°C (32 -

 TDXM (ALL MODELS) MOUNTING DIMENSIONS

WARNING: Perform the mounting operation with power source off. The TDXM Series module was designed to
be mounted within a weatherproof enclosure. It is intended for mounting in a flat panel. A square mounting hole
of 5.5 in. (140 mm) and four mounting screw holes are needed. Insert the module from the front side of the
panel and secure the four mounting screws and nuts through the bezel.

 DEVIATION from AVERAGE

TDXM - Deviation from Average Calculations Notes:

This example is for a 6-cylinder engine. 1. Figure 1, these numbers represent the data from the channels. The
Fig.1 values that are derived are not visible. The deviation from average
calculation compares each channel to the rest of the group’s aver-
"Deviation from Average" TDXM Enabling Channel
aged value.
Calculations1 Channels grPA= 6
2. Figure 1, the setting group (grPA) selects how many channels are
Absolute (1 – ((2+3+4+5+6)/5)) 1 included included, from channel 1 for the first group. the second group/starts
Absolute (2 – ((1+3+4+5+6)/5)) 2 included with the first channel after the first group. These channels will be
Absolute (3 – ((1+2+4+5+6)/5)) 3 included involved in the deviation from average calculation.
Absolute (4 – ((1+2+3+5+6)/5)) 4 3. Figure 2, the "Setpoint" represents the enabling threshold (EnA or
included
Enb), The "Current" represents the enabling channel(s) (EChA or
Absolute (5 – ((1+2+3+4+6)/5)) 5 included EChb) (0=any channel in the group). When the enabling channel(s)
Absolute (6 – ((1+2+3+4+5)/5)) 6 included exceed the enabling threshold, the deviation from average calcula-
tions will take place.
4. When a channel’s deviation exceeds the deviation (dEvA or dEvb)
Fig.2 setpoint, the deviated channel will be recorded in the history.
Because of the flexible nature of the TDXM, the setup can cause con-
1000 flicts, when settings are made. If there is a conflict which will cause
problems in the Group/deviation function, there will be error codes
displayed. The display will show one of the values below:
Setpoint
Grouping Errors
Current
Group #1
Error 11 - Channel 1 disabled.
Error 12 - Too few channels.
Error 13 - Inconsistent Engineering units.
Error 14 - Channels skipped/disabled.
Error 15 - Deviation value set to 0.

Group #2
Error 21 - Channel 1 disabled.
Error 22 - Too few channels.
Error 23 - Inconsistent Engineering units.
Troubleshooting Tips
Error 24 - Channels skipped/disabled.
If a temperature reading is incorrect, check the following:
Error 25 - Deviation value set to 0.
1. Setup 1 – TC Type and Units correct? Error 26 - Group size goes past the 24th channel.
2. Cold junction reading reasonable?
3. Install a jumper in place of the TC, should read the same as CJ Error
cold junction temperature. If a cold junction sensor fails, the display will show: CJError. Output
4. Check for proper and recommended wiring practices. 3 (SP3. out) will be de-energize to the tripped state and SP1 out and

C. TC wire separation from other wiring. of the keypad. If this happens, the unit should be replaced.
5. Check for possible grounded thermocouple problems.
6. Check DC power voltage to see proper range of voltage and
possible noise.
If the display shows all dashes (----------) it means all channels are
set to ignore, and the cold junction display is disabled.
