The Boiler Control 262 is a microprocessor based control designed to stage and rotate two on/off boiler stages
(or one low/high fire boiler) to maximize the comfort and efficiency of a hydronic heating system. The control
is designed to operate in two distinct modes. Mode 1 allows for the control to provide a reset supply water
temperature to a heating system, indirect Domestic Hot Water (DHW) generation, and the integration of a
setpoint load. Multiple zone temperature control is achieved by using either thermostats or tekmar Zone
Controls. Mode 2 is designed specifically for dedicated DHW applications in order to provide heat to a DHW
storage system. Standard features include Equal Run Time Rotation, Auto Differential, digital temperature
readouts, and pump exercising.
User Interface
Access Level(s) The tekmar Boiler Control 262 has four access levels which are LTD (limited), USER, INST (Installer), and ADV
(advanced). This brochure only covers the LTD (Limited) and USER levels. Only qualified service people should adjust the INST
(Installer) and ADV (advanced) access levels.

A single RTU may be connected to the Boiler Control 262 in order to provide the control with indoor temperature
feedback for a single zone heating system in Mode = —1— (Refer to Essay E 002). When multiple zones are
required for the heating system, use either a tekmar Zone Control or, through the boiler demand input, on/off
zone control. When using an RTU, several items related to the heating system are no longer available in the
control’s User Interface. These items are available only in the RTU’s User Interface. Also, the number of items
that are available on the RTU depends on the type of RTU that is connected to the control.
