Remote Start / Stop Module 039

The tekmar Remote Start / Stop Module 039 provides the user with the ability to start and stop a snow melting system. As well, the 039 gives the user the ability to adjust the running time of their snow melting system. An indicator light on the face of the 039 provides a visual indication as to the current operation of the snow melting system. The 039 is designed to work with specific tekmar snow

melting controls. Read the Data Brochure of the applicable control to determine if the 039 is compatible with the intended control. The 039 cannot be used on tekmar controls that do not support a tekmar Net™ (tN2) device.

Installation

STEP ONE

Place a screwdriver or similar object into the small slot located in the top of the 039. Push the screwdriver against the plastic tab and pull the top of the front cover so that it pivots around the bottom edge of the 039.

REMOVING THE FRONT COVER

To Control

#6 1” screws

STEP TWO

The base of the 039 should be securely installed in the desired location. Mount the 039 directly to the desired location using two #6-1” screws. The screws are inserted through the mounting holes and must be securely fastened to the desired location. If possible, at least one of the screws should enter a wall stud or similar surface. If the 039 is to be mounted to a 2” x 4” electrical box, order an Adaptor Plate 007. This plate will mount to the electrical box and the 039 will then mount to the plate.

WIRING THE 039

Run 18 AWG twisted pair or similar wire between the 039 and the control. Insert the wires through the hole provided in the back of the 039 enclosure and connect them to the Com and tekmar Net™(tN2) terminals. Do not run the wires parallel to telephone or power lines as this may interfere with the operation of the 039. If the 039 wires are located in an area with strong sources of electromagnetic noise, shielded cable should be used or the wires can be run in a grounded metal conduit.

NOTE: Do not apply power to the 039. The 039 is to be wired directly to the control. The connection between the control and the 039 is polarity sensitive. The Com terminal of the 039 must be connected

tN2

Com

to the appropriate terminal of the control. If the wires are reversed, the 039 will not function and the control will display a short circuit error for the tekmar Net™ (tN2) device.

STEP FOUR

INSTALLING THE FRONT COVER

Align the hinges on the bottom of the front cover with the bottom of the 039 mounting base. Pivot the front cover around the bottom hinges and push the top against the mounting base until it snaps firmly in place.

Settings

LIMITING THE TIME RANGE

The time range on the 039 can be limited in order to avoid extreme time settings or any tampering with the setting.

• Turn the dial until the desired time is at the bottom of the 039.

• Remove the front cover by following Step One of the Installation procedure.

Lift and pull the scale off the dial. Be careful not

to turn the dial while removing the scale. With the scale off, a series of small holes will be visible around the dial. Behind the dial there is a post which can be used to limit the rotation of the dial. Two aluminum limit pins are provided in the dial.

Holding Clip

SETTING A MINIMUM TIME LIMIT

Remove one of the limit pins and re-insert it into the hole that is slightly to the left of the post at the bottom of the dial. With the pin in place the dial should only rotate clockwise from its current position as the counter-clockwise rotation is now restricted by the pin.

The 039 can be used to set the desired running time of the snow melting system. Turn the 039’s dial until the desired running time is displayed in the window.

NOTE: If an infinite (NO LIMIT) run time is selected, the snow melting system runs continuously until WWSD or CWCO occurs, or someone presses the start / stop button on the 039.

SETTING A MAXIMUM TIME LIMIT

•

Insert one of the pins into the hole that is slightly to the right of the post.

SETTING A FIXED TIME

Insert one of the pins into the hole in the bottom of the dial such that the pin enters the post behind the dial. With the pin in place the dial should be fixed in position. Replace the scale by sliding it onto the dial until the rectangular hole slips into the holding clip. Replace the front cover by following Step Four of the Installation procedure.

Operation

STARTING THE SNOW MELTING SYSTEM

To start the snow melting system, press and release the button on the face of the 039.

INDICATOR LIGHT

An indicator light is located on the face of the 039 to provide a visual indication of the current operating status of the snow melting system.

• Flashing Green Indicator indicates that the snow melting system is currently coming up to its desired snow melting temperature.

• Solid Green Indicator indicates that the snow melting system is currently operating at its desired snow melting temperature.

• Solid Red Indicator When the 039 button is pushed to stop snow melting operation, a solid red light is displayed on the face of the 039 for five seconds. If the snow melting system is stopped while there is still an external demand for snow melting, the 039 displays a solid red indicator light until the external demand is removed. Refer to the Data Brochure of the snow melting control for a description of an external demand.

• Flashing Red Indicator If the indicator on the face of the 039 is a flashing red light, this indicates that the snow melting control is currently displaying an error message. Refer to the snow melting control and the control’s Data Brochure to determine the error. Locate and repair the problem as described in the Data Brochure for the snow

melting control.

STOPPING THE SNOW MELTING SYSTEM

To stop the snow melting system when it is running, press and release the button on the face of the 039.
