The Triac TDC-100 is a high performance digital 
positioner intended to control AC actuators, providing 450 
points of resolution with quarter turn actuators ranging 
from 2 sec to 120 sec and rated for 25% duty or more.  
The TDC-100 has many automatic advanced features 
that will enhance any actuator while making it easy to 
install and set up. 
 
The simple three button control is used to configure all 
parameters the unit needs for a wide variety of 
applications, and allows the 

open

 and 

closed

 positions to 

be easily set for direct or reversing acting without any 
rewiring.  The unit can be configured for various 
command types (4-20mA, 1-5V, 0-5V, 0-10V, or a digital 
command) and its default operation upon loss of 
command. 

 

Various option modules are easily plugged into the unit, 
providing other features such as a position feedback 
signal (current or voltage), auxiliary switches, fault relay 
contact, or digital communications.  A wide range of data 
is accessible through a digital communications module, 
providing additional control or information.

FEATURES 

 

 Positions to ±0.1

 with quarter-turn actuators ranging from 2 sec to 120 sec (with or without a brake). 

 

 

Adaptive Control

 feature continuously adjusts for load and actuator conditions and eliminates calibration procedures 

and auto-cal operations. 

 

 Three button control provides easy setup and eliminates the need for instrumentation. 

 

 

Polarity Detection

 feature allows direct or reverse acting operation without re-wiring. 

 

 

Electronic Brake

 feature can eliminate need for a mechanical brake in many applications, and extends mechanical 

brake life when used. 

 

 

Stall Detection

 feature protects actuator motor from a stall condition. 

 

 Automatic 

Duty Cycle Control

 feature prevents shutdown of a process due to a thermal overload of the actuator 

motor, and allows actuators rated for 25% duty or more to be safely used. 

 

 Operating temperature range of 0 to 60
