 Programming Steps and Display Mode
The ETC two stage can be programmed in seven simple steps using the
LCD display and the three keys on the face of the control.
Step 1 To start programming, press the SET key once to access the
Fahrenheit/Celsius mode. The display will show the current
status, either F for degrees Fahrenheit or C for degrees
Celsius. Then press either the up Ç or down È arrow key
to toggle between the F or C designation.
Stage 1
Step 2 Press the SET key again to access the stage 1 setpoint. The
LCD will display the current setpoint and the S1 annunciator
will be blinking on and off to indicate that the control is in the
setpoint mode. Then press either the up Ç key to increase
or the down È key to decrease the setpoint to the desired
temperature.
Step 3 Press the SET key again to access the stage 1 differential.
The LCD will display the current differential and the DIF 1
Figure 1: Two Stage Heating Example annunciator will be blinking on and off to indicate that the
control is in the differential mode. Then press either the
up Ç key to increase or the down È key to decrease the
differential to the desired setting.
Step 4 Press the SET key again to access the stage 1 cooling or heating
mode. The LCD will display the current mode, either C1 for
cooling or H1 for heating. Then press either the up Ç or
down È key to toggle between the C1 or H1 designation.
Step 5 Press the SET key again to access the Anti-short Cycle
Compressor Delay when in Cooling Mode. Press the up Ç or
down È keys to set the delay from 1 to 20 minutes. Press
SET key again to finish the programming.
Stage 2
Step 6 Press the SET key again to access the stage 2 setpoint. The
LCD will display the current setpoint and the S2 annunciator
will be blinking on and off to indicate that the control is in the
setpoint mode. Then press either the up Ç key to increase
or the down È key to decrease the setpoint to the desired
temperature.
Step 7 Press the SET key again to access the stage2 differential.
The LCD will display the current differential and the DIF 2
annunciator will be blinking on and off to indicate that the
Figure 2: Two Stage Cooling Example
control is in the differential mode. Then press either the
up Ç key to increase or the down È key to decrease the
differential to the desired setting.
Step 8 Press the SET key again to access the stage 2 cooling or heating
mode. The LCD will display the current mode, either C2 for
cooling or H2 for heating. Then press either the up Ç or
down È key to toggle between the C2 or H2 designation.
Press the SET key once more and programming is complete.
Step 9 Press the SET key again to access the Anti-short Cycle
Compressor Delay when in Cooling Mode. Press the up Ç or
down È keys to set the delay from 1 to 20 minutes. Press
SET key again to finish the programming.
Refer to Page 3 for an illustrated guide to programming the ETC.
NOTE: The ETC will automatically end programming if no keys are
depressed for a period of thirty seconds. Any settings that have
been input to the control will be accepted at that point.
All control settings are retained in non-volatile memory if power to
ETC is interrupted for any reason. Re-programming is not necessary
after power outages or disconnects unless different control settings
are required.

CONTROL MOUNTING
Mount the ETC to a wall or any flat surface using a combination
of any two or more of the holes located on the back case flanges.
The control’s components are not position sensitive, but should be
mounted so that they can be easily wired and adjusted. Avoid excessive
conditions of moisture, dirt, dust and corrosive atmosphere during
installation.The ETC NEMA Type 4X control has provisions for a 1/2 inch
conduit connection. The conduit hub should be secured to the conduit
before securing the hub to the plastic housing of the control. Caution
should be exercised not to damage the control circuit board or wiring
when installing a conduit connector.
Installation of ETC NEMA Type 4X controls must conform to
requirements of the National Electrical Code and Canadian Standards
Association. Conduit fittings must be listed by Underwriters
Laboratories and Canadian Standards Association as ”Liquid-Tight”
when installed to the manufacturer’s specifications.
ANTI-SHORT CYCLE COMPRESSOR DELAY
When the unit is configured for cooling and there is a call for cooling,
the relay will not activate until the Anti-short Cycle Compressor
Delay is satisfied. During an Anti-short Cycle Compressor Delay, the
temperature will alternate with Cd to indicate the Relay On is delayed.
If Relay 1 is in Anti-short Cycle Compressor Delay, the temperature will
alternate with a Cd or S1 icon. If Relay 2 is in Anti-short Cycle Compressor
Delay mode, the temperature will alternate with a Cd or S2 icon.
CONTROL WIRING
General
• All wiring should conform to the National Electric Code and local
regulations.
• The total electrical load must not exceed the maximum rating of the Figure 6: Typical 120 VAC Wiring Diagram.
control (see Specifications).
• Use copper conductors only.
• Electrical leads should not be taut; allow slack for temperature
change and vibration.
Input and Output Wiring
For typical wiring diagrams, refer to Figures 6, 7 and 8. All connections
are made to the power (lower) circuit board.
FIELD REPAIRS
Field calibrating or repairs to the ETC control must not be attempted.
Sensors and replacement controls are available through Ranco
wholesalers.
SENSOR MOUNTING
For space sensing, mount the sensor where it will be unaffected by
heat/cool discharge or radiated heat sources. Spot sensing requires the
sensor to be in good contact with the surface being sensed. The sensor
can be inserted in a bulb well for immersion sensing.

EXTENDING SENSOR
CAUTION: Sensor wiring splices may be made external from the control.
CAUTION: Disconnect power to control before wiring to avoid possible
electrical shock or damage to the controller.
Additional cable can be spliced to the sensor cable to increase the
length beyond the standard 8 feet. It can be extended up to 400 feet.
The cable should be at least 22 AWG or larger to keep additional
resistance to a minimum.
All splices and wire lengths added to the sensor cable should be made
according to acceptable wiring practices and should conform to the
National Electrical Code and local regulations. Use copper conductors
only. Shielded cable is not required. The sensor is not polarity sensitive.

Checkout Procedure
1. Before applying power, make sure installation and wiring
connections are correct.
