Remote Display Module (RDM) 040
05/07
The tekmar Remote Display Module (RDM) 040 provides the user with a remote interface to
any tekmar control that is tekmar NetTM (tN2) capable. The RDM can be used to view and / or
adjust the settings on the control that it is connected to, or on any Room Temperature Unit
(RTU) that may be connected to the control. The RDM can display any of the system and
status indicators visible on the control or RTU. It also has a built in alarm contact that can be
used to trigger an external alarm if either a control or sensor error occurs.
Installation
STEP ONE
Place a screwdriver or similar object into the small slot located in the top of the RDM. 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 RDM.
STEP TWO
The base of the RDM should be securely installed in
the desired location. Mount the RDM 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 RDM is to be mounted to a 2” x
4” electrical box, order an Adaptor Plate 007. This plate
mounts to the electrical box and the RDM will then
mount to the plate.

STEP THREE
WIRING THE RDM
Run 18 AWG twisted pair or similar wire between the RDM and
the control. Insert the wires through the hole provided in the

back of the RDM enclosure and connect them to the Com and
the tekmar NetTM (TN2) terminals. Do not run the wires parallel to
telephone or power lines as this may interfere with the operation
of the RDM. If the RDM 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 RDM. The RDM is to be wired directly to the control. The
connection between the control and the RDM is polarity sensitive. The Com terminal of
the RDM must be connected to the Com terminal of the control and the tekmarNetTM (tN2)
terminal of the RDM must be connected to the appropriate terminal of the control. If the
wires are reversed, the display on the RDM will remain blank and the control will display a
short circuit error for the tekmarNetTM (tN2) device.

STEP FOUR
WIRING A REMOTE ALARM
The RDM comes with a built in alarm contact. This
contact will close anytime either a sensor or control error
is detected by the control. The contact will remain closed

until the error is cleared. To clear the error message on
the RDM and turn off the alarm relay, refer to the control
Data Brochure. This contact will also close if a Warning in
the control is triggered. However, if a warning is triggered,
the alarm contact will only remain closed for 60 seconds.

Low Voltage
Alarm
After 60 seconds, the warning message will continue to be
displayed, but the alarm contact will be shut off. To clear
the warning message, the keypad of the RDM must be
pressed as described in the control Data Brochure.
Between terminals 1 and 2, the contact is capable of switching a low voltage signal that
is less than 0.5 Amps. This switch can be used to operate a low voltage alarm device
directly, or it can be used to energize an external relay to trigger a line voltage or high
current alarm device.

SELECTING THE DEVICE
The RDM can be used to view and / or adjust any of the settings on either the control or
any of the RTU’s connected to the control.
The device that is to be viewed or adjusted is selected as follows:
• Select the Miscellaneous (Misc) Menu by pressing the Menu button.
• Press the Item button until the word DEVICE is displayed in the LCD.
• Use the Up and Down buttons to select either the Control (CTRL) or one of the
RTU’s (RTU1, RTU2, ...).
Once the device has been selected, the RDM can be used to view and / or adjust the
settings of the selected device.
TEMPERATURE UNITS
The RDM is capable of displaying the temperature in either °F or °C. In order to select the
temperature units, press the Menu button until the Miscellaneous (Misc) menu is displayed.
Next, press the Item button until the UNITS item is displayed. Then use the Up or Down
button to select the desired units of measure.
ACCESS LEVELS
The RDM has four access levels that restrict the number of Menus, Items, and Adjustments
that can be accessed by the user. The four access levels are Limited (LTD), User (USER),
Installer (INST), and Advanced (ADV).
The access level of the RDM is found in the Miscellaneous (Misc) menu. The access level
can only be viewed and / or adjusted when the Lock / Unlock DIP switch of the control that
the RDM is connected to is set to the Unlock position. To determine if the RDM’s access
level is currently locked or unlocked, a small segment representing a padlock is viewed in
the bottom right hand corner of the display.
